I got some penance that need to complete, and some of the old one needs to find a group to initiate, how about we make it doable solo or just remove them!
even when they first introduced this I always thought it was a bad idea. when I first started on my other account I was able to do the zealot penance by simply asking the squad I got in.
You’d be able to ask randos to help you out, or you’d get stuck in group with some guy who puts everybody in a bad situation because he’s trying to complete a penance.
It would be better, though nigh impossible, some kind of hub where people are asking for help.
Pretty much instead of “join a random group” you’d have “join to help for a random penance” and everybody would know and willingly be there to lend a hand (you’d also have a button “ask for help” on the other side).
I agree it was a bit premature. Solo mode should be enabled so you can progress it. But even then, try telling your bots to not fire at the monster so you can take it on yourself.
