I dont mind Anchors to be soloable -but i have one BIG complain - what about some LOOT as reward?

Anchors are in most cases hiden far away from any serious activity (travel roads, cities, quest hubs) - why i even should bother with them when its pointless?

I didn't find any anchors that were soloable when you were in the level range for their area.

And there is a loot reward if you kill the Big Bad that shows up at the end. If you don't help kill it, you won't get loot.

They weren't in my experience, not sure if they change it.

I really hope they won't though, feels a lot more real to have a group of guys taking it on rather than a solo guy, enough of the "you're special" crap, thats in single player.

also I wasnt able to solo one, not even me and one person, and also not even with only two. I would suggest at least 4 people to take one on.

It will depend on your class setup and level vs the dark anchor in question. In general though they aren't easy to solo, if even possible for some classes at the appropriate level (he even said during the video his sorc didn't work out as well). Almost everyone will group them, just like the named mobs in the wilds.

I haven't player the Beta so take what I say with a grain of thought but I imagine that the DA closer to the starter zones will be easier making it possible high level players to solo them. As we venture out they will scale up and force people to group up to takw them on.

I think he might be a higher level, or he somehow got insanely good gear, because he's doing insane damage to that boss.

They are soloable by anyone competent enough, they are scal from 1-4 players which is the reason they are soloable.(this can also mean they are easier to solo than doing the event with a group, depending on how well done the scaling is done. A sorcerer can easily solo a Dark anchor event with storm atronarch, nightblade with good use of stealth and a templar if he can heal himself well. Not sure about DK as i have not played them.)

No idea if this changes later in the game.

So 1-4 people is what they are meant for, any more than that breaks them.

They are all soloable by a pre-cu Jedi Knight.
