    They assume that since they enter a match solo, that they are in a session with other solo players and that the ability to group in this proclaimed "solo" session has been disabled or does not exist.

    Ah I see, I guess these players don't go to the dz then. Thanks for the reply makes sense I guess.

    And they think people should "declare" their intentions, going in solo and grouping up apparently isnt a proper declaration of your intentions.

    I have yet see any official confirmation that the ques are any different for solo or group players. I do both and don't see any variation of group sizes. They also wouldn't remove the invite feature since they encouraged it in their official trailer for Survival. I also from a personal opinion, believe there is no difference in the ques seeing that I have yet see a difference in que times and have never ran into anyone that would not shoot on sight (including myself).
    Queing at the same time as 3 of my other clan mate (not in a group) = average wait time 3 minutes, longest wait time 7 minutes

    Queing in a group with 3 clan mates= average wait time 10 minutes, have had it take 27 minutes (takes longer because most people que solo and the 24 player count to start the match fills up faster)

    I have had a decent amount of other people tell me they have experienced the same thing. Also Im 99% sure Yannick said this is how it works in one of the state of the games, or might have been a live stream.

    Not all of the devs are scumbags.

    The answer is PVE only, then you won't worry about getting ganked.

    You have to worry about your own teammates ganking drops too! PVE Survival is much easier in Solo,

    I dont like to insult people here, so no offense but every single user here who claims this is ok or its part of the game you clearly have no idea what you are talking about or you are one
    of this trash cans which needs a partner in solo survival pvp! There is nothing more to say!

    My last survival PVP match, same picture.... i run into two different groups which clearly have multi grouped. I was lucky to take both out... one in the normal zone the other one in the DZ... sadly the mobs got me after taking out the DZ multigroup of 2 players.... out of medkits lol

    So multigroups are becoming the regular thing in solo survival and thats just sad! So the only way to escape the 0 skill trash can plebs is to speed run which is not always possible.... cause it depends on the point you are spawning.

    What is this "Solo" Survival you keep referring to? Are there separate queues?

    I don't have the DLC, so I'm wondering where you got the idea that this was a "solo" game mode, since all the marketing and info I've seen about it specifically says it can be played "in cooperation with other players", which leads me to believe that grouping is perfectly acceptable.

    No

    When you hit the door (its kind a like waiting in Line at Dinsey World Star Tours) you choose the queue starter with F

    You then get to choose Matchmacking or Game Finder (I choose game finder)

    It then asks if you want PVP or PVE mode

    Then you close out of the screens and you wait for the game to pull you into the instance.

    You can do this grouped up and the whole group gets paired with other groups, or you an go in single and the othe 24 players get randolmy thrown into the zone and then meet up and group up once in the zone if you want with anyone you come across if you choose. You can then choose to stay solo as well or even drop group if you want, nothing says you have to group up or not in either PVP or PVE Survival modes.

    Both options are available, but nothing no where does it say SOLO ONLY
