How do I play this game alone? Although you might have the most fun playing in a team, sometimes you are forced to play alone. There can be many reasons why you might be forced to play alone, or "solo" as it is called: * Many think it is the best way to earn money. * You might have difficulty finding a team. The most vital part of playing alone is knowing your profession's strengths and weaknesses. To list each profession's details here would take up too much space, but our advice is: ask other players. Don't forget this is a social game, and most people are happy to give advice. A few pointers: * Make sure you have adequate armour. If you have armour at the same quality level as your character level, you will be OK. A sign that you have good enough armour is that monsters that hit you, do almost always the same damage. This means your adversary is doing its minimum damage. This is a good sign. * Make sure you have enough healing and nano restoration kits. You must use treatment and first aid equipment when you play solo. In fact, you depend upon it. You can buy such equipment in medical shops. You should have at least 50 charges on your kits and rechargers before going on a solo mission. * Make sure you can do enough damage to your opponent. Try to have a weapon at least on the quality level of your character level. Some professions rely on their servants (or "pets") to do damage, or on nano programs. Make sure you have the best possible nano programs available to your profession to do this. * Prepare before you attack. Make sure you have all sufficient beneficial nano programs ("buffs") running in your NCU before entering a fight. Also, take your time to replenish all nano points and health points between each battle, if possible. * There is no shame in running! If you do a mission, and you see the opponent(s) out-damaging you - run away. Don't wait; run. Bring, or "pull" as it is called, the opponents to the entrance room in the mission area. Leave the mission area, and return. This way you can "string" the monsters out, and maybe take them out one by one. Sometimes you will have to get help, even though you wanted to do the mission by yourself. Many people have time for a quick "rescue" service, even though they don't have time for lengthy team play. Outdoors monsters give up more quickly if you do not attack them. Turn the aggression slider down to minimum when trying to escape; this can make your retreat safer. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Windows and Menus Interface > Gameplay Commands Main Index
