Best Of

I've seen some of these people but it's not really common tbh (maybe cuz 1-2PM est raid people are more friendly ??). I do have a small list of parties that I actively avoid though(not naming any1 here) usually just impatient leaders that don't wait for people to have a 2nd shot or straight up ignoring people's request for balancing the squads.
Although I'd say that you should get at least 2.5m~2.8m tcp (depends on characters/squad average tcp) to even attempt to do this, like atleast a t5 puri core, cuz carrying or being carried is not always fun. Usually, you should be able to pair <2.5m with +4m 1:1, which is not super common but common enough
And, if you don't feel good running it, you should just wait a bit and try to upgrade your gears (better tunes/ adding chips-pna/finishing your trinket sets), no need to rush cuz it'll take long-a$$ time to transcend the gear anyway. I'm more confident running with my 3m Luna than my 4m Yuri tbh, for whatever reason, she can out-score 4.5m people pretty frequently.

And yeah, the last normal character for me was Bai. From Seth it's all just too Op and broke asf. Maybe they could make it up with the "whole" rattus team, when the other 3 chara get playable. Also I heard they probably gonna make 3 males from now on, but idk if it's true news. Apparently they announced this somewhere :')

It would be cool to get more male characters in this team, at least one or two more. Still I feel that even if it is their intention, they are going to back pedal about it once the kr fanbase start raging and asking for their lolis, they will beg for mercy and bring us another one. I say this 'cause many Kr and jp people seem to be be obsessed with lolis in general, pretty much all kr online games that come to my mind have multiple loli references. From: "the mythical ancient race that looks like childrens but is actually old" to "the child that was forced into war..." or the "child that was created as a bio weapon"
They always find a way to put super lolis into their games.

Keep in mind that I am not really mad about it or anything, but still, it is funny to see how sometimes they can completely ruin the atmosphere of a game by doing this. A good example would be a game like Icarus, which with all its flaws had this really medieval and epic setup, then the devs decided to bring an "idol" loli class full colors and magical girl stuff asasdasdasd.. It was funny to see how ridiculous the whole thing ended up being. They even double down and just after that created another loli magic class to add more insult to injury.

and he won't be a trap like Tein 🤣

LMAO this made me remember when I just start playing this game and got some random Nata on Maid outfit while queueing beach event, It was so damn hilarious watching him on that outfit while at same time he was screaming Kiahahahahahahaha as mad man.

You mean the gender bent older recolor Tina?

@Vagath
I saw it happen alot when reconnect was bugged; people just didn't care at all even if 1~3p party could still clear, and just ate others' maps without a word.
I hear about it happening still, but aside from people that don't know anything about investigation being party/squad leads(and trying to reenter dungeons), I haven't had any first-hand experiences of map stealing for awhile now.

Also there's like +1 fuel and frag for SSS or something like that. The infinite greed of humans showing its colours.

I'm having some trouble at the moment trying to gear up my alt. No one queues Hell really anymore so I wind up soloing with 28k raw and 3.4m TCP. Certainly not looking for a carry, just a little halp. I notice if there's like one other person queuing they won't accept because they're expecting a 5 minute run. (The not-so-spoken-of entitled nibs who think the stoinker people OWE them carries)

^ Or maybe because if one DCed, the other person is screwed.

This is why I never accept queues if it's not atleast a 3-man party or if I'm not confident to finish the raid alone with the character I'm using (in other words I'm the carry).

Another thing is that you can't view your party's TCP in queues unlike BB so you never know if the other person is undergeared like you, making it a 20-min run.

I agree completely, there should be some system of seeing who you're running with before hand. Even if you're running with one other person who's semi in your range, it's still faster than soloing. My dodge skills are on point, but it's a LONG run to solo for gear that's about to be obsolete af (Amplifier).

I am a old player that has been around since the closed beta and my TCP is low compared to most players. but I simply don't care about that as my team buff is maxed for all 15 characters and I use 8 of them as main characters. with two other mmos to work on and everything I have going on in irl I simply don't have the time or energy to care if my characters TCP is a little low. the story is what keeps me interested in Closers, I don't play a mmo simply to be the best.

we should still make a effort to help new players when we can though. I don't mind taking the time to help out players in mmos as long as they are nice players. my problem is I am a shy player that is not often the joining type and in Closers it is a bit more difficult to find players to team up with then it is some other mmos. but if ever asked by a player for help if I have the time there is a very high chance I will agree to help. might look into creating or joining a crew soon but recently I have been to busy irl to put much thought into it.

every player is still a person some are busier then others and what it comes down to for a new player is "is this mmo worth my time," and that all depends on the game, content, and the community. so I agree with the op, try to be friendly to new players when you can. it can be tough being the new player to any mmo but a friendly community can make a huge difference

I kinda disagree, i'm an old player here but my TCP is quite low for an old player (only got 3.6 mil) and despite being low TCP so have I never had problem with BB raid and such, I've even seen ppl with less TCP to be allowed to join

You must have had really bad luck ish all I can say
