Get new friends.

Seriously though, just play the game; you aren't obligated to wait for them to be interested. Nor is the power increase from leveling really that much to worry about if they do want to play someday.

Randoms are okay and you can probably find someone to play with using DRG Discord (haven't tried it myself).

go solo or host public game and let others join and add them if like, find new online friends, it's fun both ways. send them friend request and add them or ask before do.

None of my friends were interested in the game when I suggested it, so I made friends with the community. It's remarkably easy to find people you enjoy playing with in this game just through public lobbies, even if you don't want to make new friends specifically, the random teams you come across are pretty much just as good most of the time.

lucky for you brother, this game is very stranger friendly, go host a game or join public game, you can still enjoy the game

[Vault Traveler]

NEVER talk others into playing a game and never let yourself into playing games you dont like, it doesnt work sooner or later you are alone and frustrated.

Just play the game and enjoy what you have, also give randoms a chance there are lots of people looking for new connections.

you shouldn't worry, you can join or host a public match

[Action Gooseman]

You can play without them. The only person holding yourself to that is you. It doesn't make a lick of difference if you're ahead of them or not. I am roughly 400 player-levels higher than most of my friends and it makes little difference outside of how much game-experience we have.

I've learned that sometimes in order to get your friends to play, you have to take the first step and play yourself. If one person does something, another will join. If two are doing something, more people will join. If nobody starts, nobody plays. If you play, your friends may just follow you in turn.

my friends who i game with were on the fence about this game way back when it first came out in early access and still are to this day.

I bought it regardless and absolutely love it and now have 350+ hours in.

dont miss out on this masterpiece because of them, jump in and group up with randoms.

All my Steam friends are from DRG, it's a great community. Even if you reach level 500 you won't be much stronger than your friends anyways, so it won't hurt anything to just play with randoms and have fun.

My best friend didn't like it because he's addicted to games with leveling and skill-tree mechanics like World of Warcraft. He was super disappointed when he didn't get extra health and damage points by ranking up his Dwarf, lmao. I don't understand some people. You can still upgrade your health and damage with the equipment upgrades.

Then he says the randomization is too boring, after about 3 missions. I mean what do you expect? It sucks we had to disagree on the game. But yeah, the solution is that some people will never be happy because they just hate certain genres for no good reason. Find new friends. Best way to do that here is to play with randoms, and add anyone who's super chill and helpful. I've made a good dozen more friends that way.

No need to hold back your levels for someone else's sake. DRG doesn't have a huge progression ceiling; levels here aren't like MMORPGs where there's huge power disparities.

The very worst of it is that you have access to more class mods and perks, and potentially weapon overclocks (available after promoting a dwarf for first time) before they do.

[Drain]

Play the game if you want to play it. If you're worried about power level; you can always remove mods. Level on its own doesn't do anything in this game.

Don't wait for them.

You're not going to become "overpowered" compared to them just because you have more possible upgrades. Upgrades just make things more doable/comfortable, with a few exceptions coming from overclocks (but there are a hundred of them and only a few will impact your gameplay significantly)
