I have been reminded by someone that cyclists are 'Off Topic' for the solo vs group vs open thread, and fully admit to contributing to the humour that has been injected into this thread.
So hierby a reminder that we have taken the thread off topic and to please stop having so much fun and get back to the serious topic of ..... whatever it is that this thread is about now.
Thank you

Well, they were riding in Open, if PvP was unwanted they should have used a Private track.
No such thing as griefing when you can actively avoid it

Indeed we have - it was pointed out that the title did not adequately reflect the entirety of the debate - so platforms are added into the mix - for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for ever and ever....
I was wondering just last night about a 2nd character slot, mainly for the reason of I'm a loooong way from the starting area and allied with a power. I have a friend who buys the game, in order to play together I have to 1st dump my allegiance so that I'm not Kill on sight in the starting area, then I've got to quit everything I was doing and then get too the starting area.
It would be a lot easier and more fun for another character slot where I could switch to when they are on and when they are off be back on main doing what I was doing before.
The idea though that you would lock one in open and one in solo would be counter productive because now i've forced my friend to either play in the mode my 2nd slot is tied to, or I don't need the second slot because to play alongside them I still have to do what I mentioned above. Or if I can "lock" both character slots in the same mode, I now cannot participate at all in the other if I feel like it because I'm locked in another mode on both characters.
sooooo yeah not quite a good idea I'm afraid. As for the reasoning of "locking" the two.. people can still grief.. then go to their other account piddle around then come back later to grief more. It isn't a deterrent.

power play on xbox one and in solo
well yesterday in teamspeak it was mentioned that xbox 1 players will be part of the pc PP galaxy but we will not be cross platformed to play against 1 another.it is was bad enough preperation,undermining and fortification can all be done in solo but now we have a whole new portion of the player base that can have a huge effect on PP without anyway to effectively slow or deter them.
give them there own universe to manipulate and do something about solo play having such a huge impact with absolutely nothing DANGEROUS about it...
i dont like to rant but i felt if you buy a game for multi player pvp as advertised why add factions,which was great for giving us penalty free pvp and giving it a purpose, if you are gonna allow people to simply hop into solo mode and have huge impacts in factions seems kinda like taking 2 steps forward to take 3 backwards as far as multi player pvp goes it just does not make much sense.
i do really enjoy PP overall but that aspect is really becoming an annoyance and ruining a core purpose of PP and now with xbox 1 coming into the fold it will be even more ridiculous

They'll just be a few more players added to the [all players in the game -32] who won't be in your instance.
