Saw this question over on Twitter's twitter.com/AnthemGameHub and thought a poll would be a helpful contribution. There are three questions - one about solo vs multiplayer, the second about the type of multiplayer and finally, hot, not, meh (as the saying goes)

Ha-ha, my answers basically formed a chain of thought:
I will only play solo. If I play MP, it's with pugs. Nah, not playing it, it's not going to end well.
if they create a title that you can solo and be successful in as a casual in a pug, lol, would be cool. But they cannot, because these games make money by subjecting 90% of players to hardships, and 10% -to afdvanced farming they do in every title, moving on like locust to skim the cream while it's new.
edit: unless they have an honest sub model that gives subscribers just good enough gear to keep playing and doing their own thing without having to deal with the 8-10 hrs a day farming people.

I will probably mostly play solo, but I'm not opposed to grouping up. It can be fun for more challenging content. If I do, it will probably be mostly with PUGs, but I wouldn't be opposed to grouping up with some of you here.
I'm looking forward to it, but I could change my mind depending on more information.

Assuming I do play it, I'm hopeful but I don't have enough detail yet, I'll play it solo and (if you can do story content in groups) multiplayer with one person whose sitting next to me. Just like I do with swtor.

Yeah this is pretty much a SWTOR situation for me. If I play it will be largely solo. But that requires a good solo experience.

-(_ANTHEM_)-
Personally, it's too soon to understand what Bio means by solo. However, I did play solo (just me) in two MMOs. After a month, I failed to get too far into the game without paying for gear. Lost interest.
Here, solo could mean PvE. On the other hand, the game appears to lean towards some form of Destineesh co-op action RPG.

I'll likely mix it up - solo & mp (friends & PUGs). A lot of that will depend on timing, and so on... One of my brothers is almost certainly picking this one up. I'll see if I can convince the other one to put aside WoW (which will be no small feat) to give this one a shot as well.

Solo for me -- assuming there's a proper solo mode for it. My internet connection isn't stable enough for multiplayer.

I know quite a few (so called former) WoW players who return to it time and time again To OP, I prefer both solo and MP and I can see a built in social aspect without the need for Origin anymore. One can only hopa-hopa-hope

Both, I'm in my own gaming community so I'll always have people to play with plus the benefits of multiplayer is great, you can get great interactions out if it plus co-op missions become much more challenging.

Both, unless they turn this into a PVP balancing debacle (aka SWTOR). If PVP becomes a focus for this game, I'll walk away.... PVP balancing destroys PVE and role playing.

If they had to do it, they could theoretically completely sever PvE and PvP, so the PvE stats have no baring on PvP, ideally giving all player equipment with similar stats so it's about skill. I'd be willing to do that, explained in universe as some sort of Freelancer training exercise in a similar way it is in Destiny. But I think they might not consider it thematically appropriate. If they idea of "Anthem," as they described the thinking behind the name, is people joined in common cause they could view pvp as incongruous.

To be honest, I'm looking forward to the game. I don't always play RPGs, but when I do... it's BioWare. I also play games like X-COM, Command & Conquer, Brothers in Arms, Fallout (from 1-4), Elite Dangerous, Far Cry (1-4 and most certainly, 5), flight simulators, etc. I have a broad appeal for games, but nothing hits my noggin' harder than great storytelling. Anyway, I loved WoW and the Lich King expansion. I love being part of guilds and when you're in a good one that suits your tastes (and man... you better have specific tastes) it's all good. If anything, I would like to join a guild in these forums for playing Anthem. Of course, I'm not pre-ordering. I may also wait for the bugs to be addressed because so far with Frostbite, you'd better wait. And yes... the more I compare the visuals to the trailers to Andromeda, I'm salty with EA. The developers that pulled that off, nice.

I could see them adding a roster list if your friends that have it to make it easier to invite one another but that may be it, won't know yet till it comes out. id really only see a guild system being put in place if this turns out to be more of an mmo (Which I'd doubt), or if they end up having raids that allow more than 6+ players.

Ok, I am not a veteran of Destiny and a lot of posters here described it as much. I'm seeing a better picture. Okay, well... if that's the case, it won't be hard to find six players here. It's just the part of being good enough is what haunts me. I know I'll be that guy that won't be in the top dps, tanking, healing, etc. I'm a support player. Off-healing, tanking and dps is what I look to do best. Plug holes in the defense, strike hard from a distance, keep front lines up and running, etc. It's a lot of fun in WoW when big guilds were once a thing. Ugh... I'm still going to try it, but I have a feeling I'm going to get more than one comment saying, "git gud."

A few of my closest friends are already Interested in the game. We've lacked good co-op experiences for years now, not only in RPG's, but shooters aswell. So for me it will be solo, and multiplayer. Can't wait to learn more.

Probably the only multiplayer shenanigans I'll indulge in is if I've bullied a few buddies into playing with me. I'm not very competent with random people... Otherwise, single-player all the way.

I feel genuine excitement over the concept they presented for this IP. I smell great potential and I'm eagerly awaiting the breakdown of gameplay, social features and story structure for Anthem.

Need more info on the game to know if I will play it. If I do I will play solo unless any of my friends pick up the game as well and we can do some co-op.

I would like MP, but I am pretty shy. None of my friends play games; at least not the games I play. So, bridging that , "OMG!!! I's a new person!!!" gap would be difficult. If I could overcome that fear factor, I think I would really enjoy it.
