Buns, a bit off-topic but I know right now many of you are concerned about my safety here in Ukraine. I commented on my situation on Twitch, you can watch it on my 2nd channel , ZepLIVE: czcams.com/video/2mn45r_cNGs/video.html&ab_channel=ZepLIVE
stay safe zepla we praying hard for ya
Stay safe! We're here for you and we'll give you all the support you need, so don't be afraid to ask. c:
Oh dang, you live there? Best of luck with the situation. :o
My advice on this is don't wait too long to get out if you can swing it. I mean, don't wait until you see them crossing the border -- leave while it's still relatively easy to do so if that makes sense. Because the second news breaks that things are getting worse, it will start getting difficult to leave due to all the folks who will try to get out and security issues, etc.
Be vigilant - I know you will ♥
FCs are like romantic relationships. I don't have one and if I did I would have no idea what I was doing
gotta get those buffs amigo
@@TerryVideoZone also lets you colour your chocobo
@@knuckles543 well, you can do that with any house. If you don't have one you can even have a homie who does have one add you to theirs and you can just use their stable
@@knuckles543 *laughs in grand company apartment access*
I feel personally attacked
Looks like a classic case of analysis paralysis. When you have too many choices you end up choosing none.
I think it's called "decision paralysis".
@@Miranox2 both are correct. It's literally the same thing with 2 different names lol
I also heard it called option paralysis, or 'paralysis by analysis' when gym boys were talking about it
Felt that. Then i became minimalist irl. There's only a grey carpet in my living room.
No
The FFXIV player is a fascinating creature, for it wishes to socialize, yet seems to struggle to function properly if in company of, or even thinking about being in company of a group larger than a dungeon party for a prolonged period of time.
You sound like Data from Star Trek.
That’s because behind every player is an actual human being. They think their “character” is their perfect form, except their own insecurities or lack of social awareness or anxiety is projected instead.
I took like a 2-year break and grew into an extrovert and when I came back during ShB, I was no longer afraid to chat with other players, whether that be in a dungeon or on discord, etc.
@@darrenbalagot4643 Thats actully pretty spot on
You sound like Data from Star Trek.
@@darrenbalagot4643 you're absolutely correct except for one thing, one doesn't grow into an extrovert or introvert, you were probably an introverted extrovert the whole time. I went through the same thing as you but I realized I wasn't an introvert but an ambivert, anyways enough about me. Goodluck and have fun!
I’m a massive introvert but I’ve learnt to accept I just like low-key FC’s. We don’t need to have events every week, we don’t always have to have full blown conversations, we don’t always need to talk on discord.
same. as much as i think it's cool to have that sort of community in a game, it would just stress me out when i'm trying to relax with the game 😅
My wife and I went through the same ordeal. We tried a few that were okay for a while, but they either got too clique-ish or died off. So our personal solution was just to make one that's primarily for soloers and we put the expectations upfront in the description, "If you want to hang out cool, if you want to do your own thing, that's cool too."
I think that's what I want. One where I don't feel like I need to be friends but there are people to lend a hand if you ask
Can I join?
@@towfur11 If you're on Famfrit, certainly.
@@KreptaZeralonis aw man I’m in aether:(
This sounds like a great option for peeps who want to play their way! Which by rights is what gaming should be like right?
I've played for 3 years and never joined one, it would involve talking to people. 😅
and we cant have that now can we !
Yeah, the forced grouping in the dungeons is my biggest stumbling block for this game. CAn't I just hang out here in the corner by myself having fun?
I've always been in one but I rarely talk. It's just nice to get the little bonuses, and sometimes, once in a blue moon, I do find I actually have something to say!
Not necessary...mine is a ghost town...no one really talks and i still get my exp buff
worth it
I just restarted 3 months ago.I joined one that just randomly dm me. They seem cool and helpful. I just keep quite while I catch up with MSQ and laugh at some of the hilarity in chat.
Create your own and fill it with Buns, but delegate the leader role to someone else... reign over the cult of Zepla as queen and let your designated chancellor do the leader work. Solves all your problems.
you know the chancellor will turn evil
Dang I just said this but guess I was late
I think she did do that before but took up too much of her time running it.
Did we learn nothing from the Crystal Braves?
@@Backpackguy12 the who? Guess I gotta look that up rq
My most common experience with FC’s is a very laissez-faire or completely absent leader with one or two power trippy officers. It almost always happens 😂
Don’t have to worry about power trippy officers if you become the power trippy officer :bigThonk:
(Kidding, of course.)
Literally every time lmao
@@JaskuraLunaris I’m part of a group like that for another MMO. It’s a model that definitely works.
Not necessarily power-trippy officers, but it's actually amazing how many FC's I've joined where the actual leader was completely absent. Either they straight up never logged in, or they did and just never talked, ever.
I struggle to find FCs as well. I had one I was really happy with but changed servers to play with some friends who have since stopped playing. I hope you find a good home, Zepla and I also hope you stay very safe.
Heyyy that's what happened to me lol
As a shy and over observant person i totally understand this dilemma and there should be no shame feeling this way. There's nothing wrong for having hope in finding the right place where you can be comfortable and happy. Keep at it Zep because the issue right now will be worthwhile when you eventually find what you're looking for.
In my eyes there 3 different kinds of FC's.
- Old inactive, close tight knit FC's. These are filled by a handful of veterans. It will feel dead for newer players. Most of the time these are closed to apply to though.
- Old active FC's, that like to have fresh blood. Generally because these veterans like to help out new players or have them join their events.
- Active new FC's. These can be all different kinds. But in general it's a lot of new players that are looking for friends to play with. These are probably the most active, but not necessarily in endgame. Leadership and structure tends to be very mixed.
I think old active FC's are best to join. These veterans will welcome you with open arms, take you along their ride and show you the ropes.
New FC's might fall apart when officers and leaders become a bit inactive. Older FC's already went through this stage and it's settled down. Who does what, etc.
And to you Zep: I'd just make your own and deligate leadership to someone you trust. Let it all work out from there. Don't overthink it. Joining one as a famours streamer will come with all kinds of things to think about.
I’m new to the game and thankfully
I found a guy in a fish suit who goes yes yes in every sentence dude has been a big help for me and a higher up player gave me 500,000 gold for being new this community is truly incredible I’m definitely here to say Bc of the people
Lmao this is an awesome story
Thankfully, I found one where most are parents. It's the best level of maturity and goofiness. Gamer parents are the best.
omg that’s so cute!
Oh yeah, my people! 🙌🏻 Which server are you on?
Currently in one of the fcs that has 50+ people and no one speaks to each other. I’ve been hopping and sadly I find it harder to find meaningful friendships these days.
Telling you from experience, Solo FCs are the best way to go. You can use any company actions whenever YOU need it
Solo FCs give you a TON of extra storage space with the company chest and also the potential to have a second house (although you’d probably need to get some people to help you with numbers at first)
Such things work? :o tell me more xD ( not really, i get the point ^^ awesome ^^ )
Also, it stops morons from randomly inviting you to FCs.
Totes. My wife and I have one that we're the only members in. It's nice.
And if you have alts you can easily transfer items between your characters, because FF still refuses to have mailbox that's useful for anything else than delivering mogstation items :D It's one of best lifehacks for crafters that sell stuff en masse, as additional retainers are account wide do if you have a lot of low moving stock you can just slap it on alt retainers and have basically unlimited marketboard selling slots without paying for crapload of retainers. It takes like an hour to get an alt to the "can use MB" state, then just stock them with stuff like random furniture and check once per week or something if something sold.
For finding guilds and stuff in WoW, I tend to go with the holistic approach.
When one crosses my path and resonates with me, I'll join it. It won't work out very well to go out looking for one.
That's a general rule for all social relationships
What a timely video! I’ve been trying to find the right home since I started playing 6 months ago. It’s a little frustrating
Aye it is. I started playing at the end of May last year, and while I looked for the first 4 months, I eventually gave up because of this. I don't like random invites because they are usually not very good FCs at least in my experience.
The best encouragement i can give is, don't let the possibility of failure stop you from finding some happiness. In my experience with FFXIV, i found it far more enjoyable once i had friends to play it with rather then just being on my own. For all the bad out there, there's also plenty of people who i'm sure would love to befriend you and let you just be one of the buns. Either way i hope you find some folk.
I'd offer to put my money where my mouth is but i'm on Aether and soon the aus server
Social anxiety: the video
While I can't speak for all closely tied FC's, the ones that are small and close are usually the best in my opinion for happiness and enjoyment. I joined one myself and when I first went in I just didn't think about all this and that. People really need to calm down and stop thinking too much. Believe in the way of the dumb people! No thinky, no problem!
These guys are my family now and I would do anything for them.
I'm honestly so, so glad that you posted this video right now. I identify with everything you said.
I'm currently struggling with this as well, and after a while it even became stressful to log in. I was starting to think I was stupid for overanalyzing and overthinking everything, so thank you so much for the comfort you brought here. We're in this together and will eventually find our home !
I've been in like. 15 different FCs in my time in the game. I joined one back in August, and the people I met there, I believe, are going to be life-long friends. But it came with trial-and-error.
I joined one the first year I started playing, it was very small and casual and we only did things together a few times. But now it's usually less than 5 people active including a friend and we all do our own thing separately lol
i feel like my situation is even more hopeless 😥 where am i gonna find a bunch of fellow sprouts who wanna do low-level raids with me working through all the old content at my slow speed 😓😓😓😓
While I am sure there is one or two like that.... I am sorry to say you are not going to find that. Most personalities on youtube have been over praising the game because it is new to them. The only way you will be able to do old content, in most cases, is if you are max level and farming mounts or you use group finder.
Party finder is a great place to start
@@iceman3317 I don't think that's true at all. I started playing a little over a year ago, and made a group (cross-world linkshell) specifically for running old raids and content synched and easily found people who were interested. There's always new players or veterans who are new to raiding or want to try the older content. It takes a little more effort to round up some people but not much.
Just be specific about what you want to do. Don't let someone come into your PF group and try to convince you that "no one is going to do x or y and you should just unsynch it." And keep in contact with people who you enjoy playing with and have similar goals/experience. Easy.
@@NabsterHax Exactly this. There are always people looking to min ilvl old content. Its fun to do and there are plenty ways to go about it!
@@NabsterHax well that my work for some. But not all. Every time I did the older raids, we just buzzed through everything. And couldn't learn fights because people never explained, so I just had to learn myself. I am not saying there aren't any, I did say there was one or two. But it isn't that common. Yeah there will always be groups, but you are going to have trouble. And never said you had to unsync, since I do think it is better to do group finder. The problem is actually making contact. And I know CWLS is similar, but my reply was mainly at FCs.
I finally stopped joining (and leaving) FCs and feel happier in game. I love chatting with people in game, but there are link pearls and I can chat with people while helping them in the novice network.
I've definitely over-analyzed a lot of FCs on the community finder and judge them based on their houses. It's really impossible to know what it will be like until you join. I think the community finder is pretty good for looking but it could use more filters in the search.
I wasn't opposed to being in one and i also wasn't looking to be in one. I ended up joining one because the leader was just conversing with me and kindly asked if i wanted to be in one. I felt that was very generous since all i got before that was random spam popups from other fcs. Been there since September and participated in cool events, a Sub farewell photo shoot and won our new year event where i got a cruise glider code
Nice! Sounds like you found the one! Wishing you all fun adventures for the future.
I ended up making my own with literally just myself in it, so I avoid getting spammed with invites and have the ability to send stuff to my alts without having to interact with folks xD
Same af lol
I met mine in PF! We clicked really well and played together for a while before I left one that had recruited me but was too big. There’s not a ton of us and we talk daily in discord and do dailies/raids together. I got lucky.
Make your own. You pick the players so they fit you. We are old, we are female, we do not like foul language and we do not like groups filled with sexual innuendos. It was impossible to join groups and find one that matched us so we made our own. Our group has had three leaders. First was me. Then my friend. Then another person who was willing to take it on. Make it. Find people you want to play with then let someone else you trust to take it over. It works. We have been around since ff11 and are actually ranked 30 on our server even though we are casual.
So many FCs are filled with weirdly sexual chats! It's odd how common it is
@@mursumakkara Right? Its really annoying
@@mursumakkara guess I got lucky never seen one of those just kinda chill playing the game groups
It's always baffling how many FCs in this game end up being weird ERP dens. Even Savage statics aren't safe, I had person that I raided with for quite some time wanting me to be his "girlfriend" out of the blue. I'm low pitched voice, bearded guy that did callouts on voice chat and had pics in group discord.
@@shana_dmr 😂
We just made one lol. Even have our own house. We aren’t organized or anything. I think there is like 6 of us. And we are like company level 15! We are kicking ass!
I got through 5 minutes of this video, started reading the comments section and thought to myself.....is the general experience really that bizarre? I guess I got lucky? I don't know.
Bit late reply, but I just walked into town, someone was inviting, joined, and found its been fine so far.
I am lucky enough to have helped build two FCs. The first one, I actually ended up leaving due to everyone being fairly inactive. But the one I am currently in, while it has slow periods, I find that me being the consistent member that logs in and plays daily, really helps with others wanting to do the same.
I have joined 8 fcs since I started playing 8 months ago and none of them clicked, or I actively disliked the people in them. Really burnt out trying to find a group I like and will probably just go solo.
I've left multiple FC's, not because of anyone in particular, but mostly because I'm awkward and don't fit in. 😅
Thats what i tough too. This time ive said "nope, im gonna be how i am" and ive found one. Ok maybe im a bit too activ and so but we get along pretty Well. Were about 10 People.
@EndTimeWalker that's cool, man. I think I'll just stick to being a "Kirito" 🤷♂️
I've been through so many FC's, so much false advertising and anti social discords. I've generally made more friends and had more social interactions engaging in RP.
For sure u did 😬
@@ioverslept. What are you even saying lmao. Just because you find something weird doesn't mean people haven't made friends that way. What a weird person you are.
I am a HUGE introvert, to the point where my irl friends always find friends for me (not just their own online friends, but also if they see a person and are like: oh, they are simmular to her, let‘s get to know them and intoduce them to her). My problem with finding friends in FF14 was that none of my friends played it.
I still don‘t have friends in FF14
Same. I joined ff14 primarily to meet people. Have not been successful so far.
Do you actually want friends in the game? Or are you just doing solo stuff anyway?
@@HaykInWonderland Not sure who you're asking, but everyone wants friends.
@@aethon0563 now now, let's not be hasty. Mustn't speak for everyone, hmm?
@HaykInWonderland now now, let's not be contrarian and condescending. Everyone wants to have friends, nobody enjoys being truly alone in life.
So I lone wolfed it for while and had no interest in joining one, rejected several offers. Then I one day complimented someone's look and glame I really liked. Talked a bit, and she invited me I joined up and I cannot imagine playing the game without these people now. Just a no pressure fun group. We have events some times but nothing is mandatory, they are more fun like glam and screenshot contents. We do rolos together if anyone wants to, and go solo if not. Need help clearing something and want to do it with friends, need to get a specific glam and run the same dungeon a few times, people got you and love helping eachother. I highly recommend it if you find the right one!
Absolutely this! This has been my experience to a T and I cannot imagine an experience without my group.
Same and I Love it.
Haven't been in one for awhile, haven't really found one i feel comfortable in
The real issue is thr cliques. I'm an extrovert so socializing isn't hard, but when the barrier of entry is the opposite party that's what makes it hard.
I wish I had advice. I had it easy for a long time cause I was an rp'r so looking for one is super easy to figure out here and there. I've left that scene so I needed to find a pve one. I got super lucky in it that I decided to join one I saw random one recuirting that had like 10ish people that are great people. I don't want to be in FCs bigger than like 30 people lol
Same issues on Omega EU, been in a couple of really big FCs that just feel like everyone's either already got established groups or there's tons of members just in it for the buffs. Not one for Discord most times but in these cases it was hard to feel like you could fit in to the big established status quo.
In my experience I asked a few open ended questions started up a convo with people open to talking and found myself in a group. Probably got lucky, but smaller fcs that fit perfectly can often be found in larger ones!
Same, I found this alot. People already have a group and worse good luck making friends with those people when you're a sprout. I've found veterans dont want to play with sprouts. It has been hard letting them give me access to the garden or actions to get my onions and level up crafters/gatherers with the actions
I've been solo since I started after multiple bad experiences with wow guilds. I get invites all the time but I turn every one of them down.
You can block invites, doesn't block their /t message but you don't get the popup, and can blacklist the more spammy ones so you don't get 5 tells per day from them
I got randomly invited to one and I think I lucked out cause it's great! a nice size of active members, super chill, willing to help and join duties, fairly active chat and discord, etc. I'm happy I found one!
i just started playing ff14 and your videos have been very helpful so thank u.
Shout "I'm new, naked, and afraid" in Limsa chat. You will get 50+ invites in 10 seconds.
90% of them are only concerned about the naked part.
Ive got invited into one literally 15min into the Game after chatting for a while.
Im still in it, talking daily with them and be activ in Discord.
It seems that i Was extremly lucky xD
wow this was my problem exactly a week ago, I chose one on random on their website scrolled looked at one and went yush this will be good enough haha
4:24 Megalomaidiac; at least they keep things clean.
It's fascinating to see this from your perspective. Not a single one of those concerns ever touched me before, but I see they're really valid for you! I hope you'll find a comfortable place to rest your buns :3
I been playing since 2.X and just last week decided to just make my own with just me and my wife. Wish I had done it years ago.
Fc's are great and all, but CWLS are where it's at.
That thing scares me....
Will you elaborate on why?
Whats a cwls
@@vyn8594 Cross World Link Shell, basically it is a chat room I think. In a way, it is similar to a 'Community Group' or whatever they are called in WoW that not many people use. In FF14, they use it to do Monster Hunts and View Spots mostly from what I've seen.
CWLS are a pain
Honestly FCs are kinda useless. Unless you’re a casual player who wants a social hub to revolve your game time around, FCs aren’t going to serve any real purpose for you. You can meet new people / chat etc in so many different ways that don’t involve some forced sense of community. I’ve been FCless for a long time and it’s nice not having people know when I log in and have to deal with those people who always beg / guilt others to constantly run content with them bc they don’t want to wait in queue.
I've bounced in and out of FC's over the last few years and now I'm just trying to build my own based on the idea that you can join, play...no strings attached. No requirement for participation, no meta requirements, etc. But no one joins, and it's impossible to find people to come aboard. FC's/Guild's aren't like they were 5-10 years ago. You have those that have groups that are friends/family/close knit and those that are just random people smacked together :P Hard to figure out if it's even needed anymore. I crave community...I came from FFXI and a big LS on Asura. That's what I'm trying to build...and failing miserably :P
I look at it from opposite perspective - common goals link people, I had much more social interactions in statics than in FCs in general in this game. The "no requirement" game groups rarely works, as we all like to do different things while spending our in game time - some people are all about social events, some people want to raid and just have some chitchat going on while waiting for PF to fill up, there's token few people that disappear for half a year and play for a month doing story quests, few people that play since release and are stuck at ARR wine bottle quest so they avoid interactions because spoilers, and so on. Then you organize social event, 5 people come because rest had something else to do or don't like socializing or are offline and it gets awkward and everyone logs off after half an hour, or you organize gameplay event and turns out there's literally no content that everyone 1) wants to do 2) is able to do at the same time.
Yeahhh, I am guilty of picking up new players. Most leave after a while but I ended up with a great group.
This is my exact experience with WoW guilds, Warframe clans, and Final Fantasy XIV FCs
You mocking yourself starting around the 0:45 second mark killed me. As a sprout and someone who is rarely able to catch the stream, I love hearing the teachers' chaotic struggle, lol
I just realized Zepla is Codex 😆
I'm a new player coming into the game and your videos have been VERY helpful, thank you!!
Enjoy the MSQ dont skip IT believe me.
In this position now just days away from Oceanic server launch. There's only so much you can glean from a Discord ad - could be an interesting first few weeks on Materia for lots of us.
Professor: ZEPLABERG! What are you doing in my giant centerfuge?!
Zeplaberg: I live here!
I am so glad this video came up on my recommendations! This is so true, and I think I am going to do a response video to this because you touch on so many important things!!!!
Honestly, it comes down to what you're willing to put in socially it's not all that common in my experience that cliques exclude people when they make an effort to get to know new people (sometimes it does) but you'll never know until you try places until one clicks.
Sorry to hear that your search has been tough though, there's definitely a lot of strange FC's out there. Kinda why I made mine back in 2014.
If you have any interest in transferring to Malboro (Crystal) or if anyone here is, I'd be happy to extend an invite to Parade of Shadows we're mid sized and laid back. Active buffs on a regular schedule, content runs on the regular, and events. Room to move up and a large plot in the mist too!
More than happy to answer any questions, and/or give a discord invite to get to know the gang to those who are interested.
“Join us. You can do whatever you want here!” - Legit the ideal scenario! Lol Best of luck on your search
I found one I really like. Only issue is I can never do anything with them since they r all at endgame and I’m just finishing hw
Same lol
Don't worry about that for now. Just enjoy the story till you hit the end!
jup thats me right now too.. but msq will end eventually:P so after msq you can join them :D just keep the contacts warm a bit:'D
Oh wow, what a conveniently timed video, as in I'm going through the same shit rn lmao. But hopefully the one I just joined yesterday looks promissing, they seem to have the same energy as me. Hopefully it last
I tried a bunch and it didn't work (relationships are already established and most of the time you're just...there.) I also tried making one but it's just too much responsability to be honest. So i've been rogue for some time now and it ABSOLUTELY works for me. I have so much fun and met so many amazing people. I guess it does depend on who you are as a player and what you are looking for. This game works best when you do you!
I lucked into the biggest on my server, if not my dc (like, legit we're ranked almost always #1), and I see the people that aren't in something like mine, and it's mind blowing how different the experience is.
Make your own, could call it battle bunny's. No wait! Watership down ... You're welcome xxx
I would totally join!!
girl u overthinking 😂😝😂
you are not wrong
all the FCs ive ever stuck with were because i knew people already in them. through them i meet other people and later have joined those other peoples FCs. the long term FCs ive been in have been small to mid sized.
First one I applied and it is awesome. Small membership of about 40ish people or so. Active discord and events on weekends. Talk if you want if not that's OK. Even formed with some members a static and we are currently onP4s. Just a chill gang and I'm super lucky to find them.
literally was looking for FC's when i came across this video lol.
I've struggled to find one for a while, after a few attempts I dumped the idea entirely
lol i just joined a random on that was doing a shoutout in a city and surprisingly it was amazing. the leaders are cool, have a nice house and everyone is pretty friendly. only prob is im the only sprout and so i dont get to raid or do stuff with them. but its still pretty cool. im glad i did
"So obviously I'm overthinking this... but maybe not?!?!?" that's too relatable :'D
Feel this 💯% I looked at the community finder for 30 seconds, and was so overwhelmed, I stopped looking. So many considerations! It's not like I can just order up, like a pizza, a group of people with whom I connect.
Plus, I feel like kind of an odd one--pretty serious about role play/story, but don't always agree with others' standards. And when I'm not role-playing, I like to be irreverent, silly, etc., which isn't taken well by everyone. So, yeah. Just another reason I feel kinda isolated in ffxiv.
This but with a static cause party finder is hell on earth
There are discord to help with finding statics also
The answer is obviously just to create The Zeplapalooza: Electric Boogaloo
I lucked out and found a really good group of friends. They found me to be exact
I wonder if it varies from server to server. Cause I'm on Primal and from the moment I actually got into the game it was a *constant* barrage of tells and invites to FCs. I'm talking multiple an hour every day until I finally found one that was a good fit. But it got exhausting saying "no thanks" constantly.
Buns out 🤣🤣🤣 I almost spit out my water lol
this game is not social, you don't need to interact with people to do anything. Everywhere there is a button to pick up a group and all you have to do is write "o/" and "gg"
I'm literally in a group with friends I've known all my life and it's great cause we either talk all the time or not at all and do our own thing while helping eachother or newbies with Content
It's way hard for sure. I've been hopping around too. It feels so weird to leave. Chatting to people at the house is ok, but hard to tell later. I'm in a small one right now, but little interaction each day besides a few events. The community finder is so limited, and so many pages are outdated. Good luck all too.
On Leviathan my wife and I had trouble till we found our current one. Im a bit much and we both dislike the general pop in fcs. But it isnt fun earning less exp
Funny you mentioned that seinfeld episode :P, i actually watched that episode myself not long ago.
Can relate. I've been agonizing over this decision myself for the past couple of weeks, now that I have some base level of familiarity with the game. Got invited to a couple of discords even, but likewise had the thing where I tentatively stuck my head in and it was just very in-jokey and event-heavy and.... I just wasn't sure. I miss the community of guilds from my WoW days, way back when, but I just don't know if I want to go through the hassle of rolling the dice and hoping I get lucky with one.
One good thing about large FCs is that since it’s a bunch of randos, it’s the perfect place to recruit for something you’ve been wanting to do, like statics. I managed to make a PvP team from some people who showed interest one time, I never though I’d be able to lol
Glad you addresses this! I always disagreed with your earlier video, biased by having already done the work
I want that Saturn V in the background^^
I'm just saying, calling us Bunningways is right there
Back in march 2020 me and my 3 friends made our own because we couldn’t find one we liked. Since then we reached level 30, have our own house, and do things together. Sometimes we do our own stuff and that’s okay, but there isn’t that pressure like you get with larger or very tightly knit FCs.
The problem is you go 3 friends already. People with nothing or had something but not anymore are having the problem with this.
You're awesome made me giggle. Thank you.
Build Your Own.
It's worth it.
Honestly I found finding guilds in WoW much easier because the shared interest for me was raiding and I built my friendgroup from there. Here you have statics for that and frankly i'm not really interested in the events and solely social aspect which seems to be the main focus of FCs as far as I saw?
I've been thinking about joining one but haven't had the drive to while I'm trying to finish off my story content also feels weird for me if I don't know anyone in them to begin with.
Oh geez, just when I thought month end at work was a hassle...
love the green necklace.
Wait... Is it different on NA than on EU? I mean when I was FCless I got at least 5 Messages per hour from small to large FCs trying to recruit me. seriously it was really annoying... i just had to wait for the cooldown to create my own one... so i had to turn them all down... but most of them were really nice.
