    You are correct.

    There is no such thing as Solo Survival, there is only Survival.

    "Solo" Survival is just something that people on the forum have invented to justify their unwillingness to play with others, while trying to force others to play the way they do under the guise of "fairness".

    Just play PVE then, the rewards are the same whether you play pvp or pve, other than a 1.2 modifier for points at the end of the game. Other than that, if you don't like the intensity of pvp, just don't do it you aren't losing anything by not doing pvp. I play solo pvp survival all the time, I have been killed by a group only two times, big deal, I just left and started another game.

    Solo survival is a thing if you queue by yourself but instead you and friend enter a solo queue separately at the same time and group up once in the game. Why don't you group up in the queue and find 2 man games with other 2 man players. That's the entire point of having 2v2's and 4v4's.

    Most players in the game are solo players then you will get 1-2 squads of pssys. They could just make surivial like the DZ and remove solo and 2 man queues and put players in games randomly essentially req all players play in a 4 man group in order to have a chance to win.

    From the official description of the DLC (bolded for emphasis):

    http://tomclancy-thedivision.ubi.com...val/index.aspx

    "You can choose to enable PvP or PvE modes in Survival. In PvP, you will be able to interact in cooperation or in opposition with other players in every corner of New York, even while out of the Dark Zone. In PvE, you will only be able to play in cooperation with other players."

    Funny, I don't see anything in that description to indicate that it was ever intended to be a strictly solo activity. On the contrary, it SPECIFICALLY says you can cooperate with other players.

    There is no such thing as "SOLO" Survival. This concept was completely fabricated by players on the forums.

    If you really want to play solo, disconnect your internet, and you'll never have to see another player ever again.

    I would agree they do need bans for something like this. I don't think Massive can really stop this from happening so bans need to happen. It's a weak move by those players
    Why on God's green earth would you ban someone for doing something allowed in the game???????? Stop with that crap.

    I agree with you, I'd just want to understand. a solo player matchmaking for Survival can be sent to an instance with players that went through matchmaking already as a group?

    why someone says those players teamed up only in game and not before matchmaking?

    Actually this isn't something people have invented, the game puts you into an instance with other people who have the same number in their groups, be it 2s,3s,4s or solo. That said I have no problem people teaming up if that's what they need to do to win. I've played alot of survival usually solo or as a 2 and have yet to see these teamsters, I actually wouldn't mind running into them as I could do with a challenge.

    But there is no guarantee that it will put you in an instance completely devoid of teams, nor that it will guarantee that other players won't team up once they are in there.

    There is no specifically "solo" queue for Survival. There are no menu options to enter "Solo Survival" or "Team Survival", and teaming up at any point prior to entering, or after entering, is not restricted in any way, nor is doing so cheating or exploiting.

    "Solo Survival" is not a thing. It is a fabrication.

    There is only "Survival".

    I did once, but they followed me into a construction area and got wasted by the AI. I was careful, took out the AI and got me a bunch of free gear. They had their hearts set on getting me they forgot about the AI. It worked out well for me.
