Sadly , would it have mattered ? <| sep |> Hi your IGN is not found . You have 5 mins to redeposit . I will come back to you if you reply . <| sep |> Ironman is marketed and described as a solo game mode . Just because you can ' t benefit from other players , that alone doesn ' t make it solo . Ironman Mode , is falsely marketed as solo , because you still have to compete with other players , and you still participate in multiplayer activities . The whole gamemode is a misnomer . You ' re not playing alone against other players . You ' re competing with other players , and that ' s why it ' s not really a solo gamemode . Is Ironman more challenging ? Yeah , at last in so much that you have to to things in a more roundabout way , in order to access all the content you want . But at the end of the day , it is a fact that Ironman Mode is not a solo gamemode . At the end of the day , when you promise people that this gamemode is solo , people predominantly newer players , will , quite reasonably , make the assumption that you don ' t have to compete with others . nbspInshortStanding alone really means competing with others . falling together
