A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

This is EXACTLY what I was wondering about, thanks so much!!!
Good to know they acknowledge that not everyone is interested in the ff14-esque story grind where you have to travel from start through finish. Definitely going to at least check it out. Heard something about where you can do dungeons solo-party? I think that was gw2.
Anyways the book series comparison is perfect π
Most of the game is solo-friendly. Some things are very difficult to solo, but if you get really good at the combat system it's still possible.
Coordinated end game party stuff isn't my bag so much, so I'm not sure about soloing it. There are a lot of different things you can do with different names that all amount to dungeon/raid style content. The things actually called "dungeons" are all from the original game and are really old at this point. The newer 5 man dungeons are called "Fractals", and there are also 10 man raids, and 10 man boss only encounters called "Strike Missions" (basically a single raid boss with no dungeon around it).
"Dungeons" as a general term is understood to be "group content".
In GW2, these are:
Thank you!! Fantastic comment content.
Iβm not sure exactly what I was referring to earlier, because itβs not in your description π Too much longbottom leaf. I love that they put raids in tho! Thatβs my jam.
