What is the most powerful mob that is soloable?

[ScottBerta]

Ayyalish does not Cheal and plenty of Shamans solo her.

And Cliff Golem is a joke any torp shaman could solo him and in under 15 mins. That mob should not even be considered. I’ve solod him at least 30 times and my shaman is by no means elite.

[Keza]

One would think the first answer to be fairly limited and easily answered by the mega neckbeards of P99, and the second question easily answerable by anyone.

... and yet I'm not surprised at all that the thread has resulted in people hating on soloers and butthurt ench/shm claiming their OP classes take skill.

I'm not sweaty enough to know what the most difficult solo is. All I know is it's far above the level that the devs intended players to solo.

I think Kelz's solo fungi king is probably the most impressive. It has it all. Insane consumable / clicky prep, strategy, execution.

Show me a better solo kill video than that.

Is it really "solo" if you do it with shaman and cleric buffs, though?

[DMN]

Seeing all those timers on there make me want to throw up.

So much unclassic shit it's like a different game.

Hopefully that's all going to be/stay blocked on green.

Most people don't bother to film themselves playing a 20 year old game. Also, imo, the more gratifying accomplishments are those involving teamwork: a duo Ixi, a 3-person Hate breakin, a 2-group VP dragon.

Cool, glad you shared such relevant input.

I think that's exactly it: to some people it is, and to some it isn't.

And really I don't think most people care about being the "soloing police" ... it's just that when person A says "solo" to mean one thing, and person B says "solo" and means something entirely different, then obviously confusion (and subsequently arguments) will result.

I feel like we just need better terminology, like say 2-4 "levels" of soloing. When someone says "I soloed ___", I feel like we should start expecting them to specify which "level".

For instance, instead of just saying "I soloed ____", if you add a word or two, and we all agree on the meaning, everything can be so much clearer:

• I "true soloed" ____
  • ie. I did it without any other players' help in any way, and without using any consumable items
• I "potion soloed" ____
  • ie. I did it without any other players' help in any way, but used consumable items
• I "soloed with assistance" ____
  • ie. I killed the mob myself, but received assistance from others in the form of pulling, buffs, etc. ... and may or may not have used consumables

For instance, instead of just saying "I soloed ____", if you add a single word, and we all agree on the meaning of that word, everything can be so much clearer:

• I "true soloed" ____
  • ie. I did it without any other players' help in any way, and without using any consumable items
• I "potion soloed" ____

When did we need solo tiers? I feel like if no other person was helping you down the mob, its solo. Obviously you are going to get buffs, consumables and anything else to give you as much of an advantage as possible.

Let's not stop there. Let's add more tiers

I "naked soloed"

I "blindfolded soloed"

I "turned off my monitor and unplugged my mouse soloed"

When did this become a thing? Is this something unique to p99? I dont remember this solo tier nonsense on live.

Kelza was a really good monk, but nothing in that video is that amazing.
