You can go in by yourself if you desire. How long you will live will be questionable.
So like everything else in the game, it either requires a decent group orjust oneperson who's got a full stack of buffs and thus invulnerable. In testing this, would you like us to try this without buffs or with? Seriously the way the game is now, you're going to get two very very different answers.
The upcoming combat balance changes will begin to ensure solo players are not capable of taking out content meant to be difficult for a group of players. We will continue to refine combat balance in the future to make this more and more the reality. It will take some time.

Which is just great is you belong to a nice sized guild, or have a nice sized friends list. But for the solo, weekend warrior, with little time to wait to adventure, just leaves them right out in the cold again.

Please dont forget about players who prefer to 'solo', if you are targetting a dungeon a month then some solo friendly stuff in the futurewould be nice.
I **edit**ing hate the fact that SOE forced everyone into a Group Role. If you want people to Group Rune/TH then give us a REASON to group! Give rewards worth grouping over, give us MOBs that require groups to kill. Don't make Solo players suffer because you don't know the Power of a certain class.
And for God sake, if you want people to group TURN THE GROUP NOTIFY BACK ON SO WE KNOW WHO IS LOOTING WHAT! Since this was turned off in Beta, I don't trust anyone in my group as far as I can throw them.
You made your bed, now lay in it. Don't make a new one because the old one didn't turn out how you like it.

Um, asa BH that has to solo and has solo'd his profession for 8 months this kind of worries me Runesabre. Does this mean you will be making dungeons that are more dangerous (like the Geocave)or nerfing some of the combat professions?

What I want to know on this.. Is this dungeon "instanced" so that ONLY you or ONLY your group can go in and would be alone in the dungeon? Or is it only restricted by anyone that actually does the quests can be shuttled up and all would share the dungeon at that point??
There is a big differense between the two types.. please clarify this for us
The dungeon has limited instances created so that only you and your group will be in a private copy of the dungeon at a time. Multiple groups can be enjoying the adventure simultaneously but each group will have their own copy and not impede upon each other.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!
Hah, wait until I inform my WOW-anticipating, SWG-scorning friends about this!
My confidence in SWG just increased tenfold. Of course, it also did that with the crackdown anouncement. This had really better not be a dissapointment.
My only question is to whether there will be criteria for accepting the missions. The last update created some missions that you wouldn't be allowed to go on if you weren't "strong enough". As a Master Creature Handler, i can not take these missions. I myself am not particularly strong, as apparently my grouped rancor isn't considered in the strength tally. I sure hope the corvette missions are open to all. (And that you fix the current problem)
It sounds exciting!
I hope, it will be so,how it sounds and not like the crackdown, what i did not experienced since release...
, but.....can us Creature Handelers be of any use in this dungeon...?!... i mean i realize its a space ship and all, but please don't leave us out, in doctor Evil's words..."throw me a freakin bone here".....please
