How is this game playing with strangers?

[Silverborn]

I've been considering getting this game for a while, but since I've not yet been very social in VR yet, I don't have people I know who own and play this game.

How does matching work and how are people who have to commit to a match for hours, with complete strangers?

For what i have experienced. Some people you meet are not keen on newcomers and will kick you on the spot.
Some will kick you if you being childish and talking to much
(ive met most new players tends to be kids who does not pay attention to the game, and rambles on and on and makes the gameplay anoying).
But there excist a decent good amount of players who DOES like to play with new players, if the new players atleast can understand to learn the tutorial first, before going strait to a random match with no understanding on how to play at all. Cause thats a easy kick for some players since they dont wanna learn first, before starting a match.

One example for an experience ive had multiple times:
New player joins in for the first time.
They pick Assassin.
They then starts rambling and playing around with their figure without paying attention on whats going on the board.
Starts asking how to move or use cards like they never did the tutorial that is mandatory recommended before playing.
(But if they ask for help on what they should do, then its okay in some cases, since its not always easy on what evryone els is gonna do)
Acts they know how to play the game, but has no idea at all.

As for the matchmaking:
You can do a quick join, wich you can pick from it being with a random adventure, or a specific one.
For making a match, you can make it public, or private.
Private matches require you to share Room codes, wich are best for friends or people you talking to on discord and the like. And there is a mode for private lobbies that make it pick between 1 player per hero, or two players controlling 2 heroes each.
Public is open for evryone, but you can´t change between public and private during gameplay, or after you made a room.

So basically, if I'm not acting like a unprepared newblet with a big mouth, I should be fine joining games and finishing them with people who also talk back?

More on the terms that if you behave friendly, and are able to play with people who are okay with new players. You should be fine.
I have an okay tolerance with new players playing the game. I just kinda hate when a player starts the game for the first time, ignores the tutorial, and just fools around, instead of acturly playing and figureing out afterwards by asking and so on if needed.

Im acturly expecting the person trying to figure out if the game is worth it for them, so by default i help them as good as possible, like they play assassin for the first time and wanna attack a target.
Also its kinda anoying to play a match, and the player that join in, pops evry bomb thats on the board and ignore any advice and helping hand.

Sorry if this sound bad or anything. This is basicly just my experience when i try handle new players.

IF you are going to play this game for the first time. My suggestion is to try the first adventure. The Black Sarcophagus. Its suited for new players, and manny likes to play that one for a chill experience. If you went for like, The Rat king. You would not get a good experience, since that one is verry hard in general. The others are decent enugh, but The Black Sarcophagus is best for new players

Thanks for the advice. Once I'm looking for a new social game I'll consider this one!
