why is it so complicated to play with a friend in this game?

[linith heart]

if people are writing guides on how to play co-op its clearly not streamlined enough.
its not like co-op is a new concept in games,
the amount quality of life that was sacrificed to make the game open world hurts me.

Yup that's pretty insane, it was almost the same in Worlds... And sadly you can't even play the whole campaign with a friend. What a shame that after so many years they didn't make this system better :/

Was better in rise, funnily enough, but cuz these are two different teams they didn't share homework lol

I’d say it’s a japanese thing.
It’s terrible for story and low rank.
It’s much better experience in High rank where it is kinda same to World.

There is nothing seamless in Wilds COOP :D

Game is great,
but COOP is complicated,
Optimizations sucks if you are not playing 1080p,
Story is terrible (Nata is the worst npc ever made),
And we need more monsters fast.
Still actual fights and map exploration is 10/10.

Just make a crew. Invite friends to your crew, play in crew lobby. Fixed

Its really not hard

Expeditions:
Invite dude to a Link
Invite your link to the Environment
Done.

Quests:
Invite Friend to a lobby.
Post a Quest
Friend can join via Lobby quests

OPTIONAL:
Invite friend to a link
Now if you make a quest your friend will automatically receive an invite the moment the quest starts

Dont even need to use SOS flares anymore

Get introduced to the 4 step verification program. I've been playing for close to 50 hours. I just learned how to do multiplayer with friends

Japanese dev game.

They are peak at 90% of what they do, but the remaining 10% is absolutely atrocious.

Reminds me of FFXIV, where you literally had to fight the registration process to even play the game.

ironically i'm pretty sure we're more into playing as party things when it comes to multiplayer than playing with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ randos (or at least we're sick of it after being exposed to apex/fortnite stupids for last several years), so we also prefer quick play and go but....
but....
japanese devs, or rather big company seems to love unnecessary complicated UI/UX nightmare as a sacrifice to elder buddah god or something.

Yeah its a bit of knowledge needed to know the ifference of

Squad
Lobby
Link
Environment link

A Squad being a group you can permanently join with other players to join their quests at any time.
a lobby being a large pool of players that can see each others quests
a link being a small group of max 4 that automatically receive invites to quests
and environment link being a seperate mode entirely that allows you to explore the outside world with your friends of 4 max

That's the only way i see this ♥♥♥♥ going through quality control...
Much worse than world
