I just registered because I wanted to say that I really like this game. I've been playing for a few weeks and the fun of small accomplishments like leveling and the joy of a good drop are truly addicting .
I also wanted to bring up a question to get feedback from the PLuminati :
I tend start my own game and stay to areas I can solo as a bear with a lot of potions. I seem to get four kinds of people joining:
- Most common: people who pop in, show busy for a second and leave.
- Slightly rarer: people who are the right level for the area and fun to play with, even though chatting is usually minimal.
- Slightly rarer than that: people who are not strong enough for the area, but usually quite chatty.
- Most uncommon: people who are too strong for an area and very vocal about wanting me to boot level players.
So what are the pop-ins looking for? Is there anyway to hand off booting control to other players? I don't really mind leechers. There's no rush to finish any level and (brilliantly) no real penalty for dying or dropping connection when RL demands. But I respect that more experienced players might have a different stance.
I know the psych profile matching will work out through the friending process ( although I don't invite friends as much as I should, I figure if they are online they are probably busy) but some flags on the avatar page to show pace of play preference i.e. "Tank turtle" and n00b or twink friendliness i.e. "If you want to die a lot for the same exp you'd get in dark forest and gear you can't use yet then I don't mind" might go a ways towards ensuring harmonious groups.
The best and worst part of the game are the other people. People who aren't trolls would probably like to play with people who want to play with them.
