I'm still getting the hang of the interface,
I'm not in a team,
I have very few people in my friends list,
I have literally zero RL friends that play and yet,
I have never run a single mission in PSO2 solo.
Maybe I should have taken some screenshots before posting, or maybe I should have posted this in one of the many block specific community discussions, but I'm noticing a VERY bizarre pattern here. On the game every mission has tons of unlocked rooms with 1/4 players, and in the forums everyone is saying they make there own rooms, and then saying that no-one ever joins them.. when THEY never join anyone else either!
Joining a room in PSO is not an imposition, you're not invading, people WANT you to join! Sure every once in a while people just ignore you (there are jerks out there) but then you just leave the room and find another group! I've run into ALL kinds of wonderful folks doing that and best of all, as soon as that player count says 2/4 you can bet other joiners will hop on it like a piece of fresh meat and your party'll be full in no time! Then PSO2s awesome new mission system will let you switch missions and take your party with you for a whole night of fun! I've done this since I started and it works, in fact I just thought it was the way the game was meant to be played. As soon as your party builds you'll find that everyone is more than happy to run the missions that other people need to finish their client orders, Time Attacks, Matter Boards, etc. The community is great, but you have to give them the chance to be!
So here's the joiners pledge, I NEVER create a room for a mission when there are already open rooms, peopled by reasonable individuals, running it. Even if it sometimes means joining in the middle of the mission and having to catch it on the second run (most people do run the same mission multiple times). Sure it can feel daunting at first but joining up with people and working together can only serve to make the game, the community, and the experience, better for you AND everyone else!
Who's with me!?
