Lets be real 80%(random % but its very high) of gamers today dont have legit friends to play with. most of us are introverts or just want to play and enjoy random games with each other and make friends along the way.
Perhaps lettings us choose our realm to appear offline/online to the public so other people who want to join our realm with certain critera letting the people know what we are looking for > End Game, Questing, Level XX Seeking help, Seeking new friends.. etc
Look.. I 100% understand the route the devs are going for but those type of gamers are such a small minority of todays gaming. imo.
NRFTW needs to have some sort of lobby system or random search for realms of some sort for people looking for making new friends. Or just want to randomly kill things and help others. or something…
I honestly believe only going through discord(i cant stand discord and avoided it until now) or forums is a step backwards. It takes to long and is more of a nuisance than anything. I have tried this way to only be parred with some of the most annoying people ever to exist… zero consciousness and only thinks about them selves with such selfish tactics to where I didn’t even want to speak. It was mostly a waste of time to the point where I even got booted from a realm, because I didn’t login for a few days. The resorted me losing most of my stuff because they stole it.
Another note to look into is only 4 to 1 realm is a HUGE ball breaker… I mean I joined a few random games to where the host was like shit I gotta boot so and so.. etc.. seemed very frustrating for the host.
This seriously needs to be redone and will actually push gamers like me away.
Thanks for reading, I still enjoy it.
