Thoughts after my first 40 hours + cannot lead a group! LOL
So I have 500+ hours in ER and while I was skeptical about Nightreign, I bought it on release to support FromSoftware but only recently installed it. I have had a total blast with it and the zany, wild, fast paced design is just hilarious. One interesting comment is that in those first 40 hours...I still do not even remotely know how to lead a group (nor do I want to). Today was the first time I loaded up a game and no one knew what to do. Like we just sat at the first grace and no one was pinning anything. My first 40 hours in this game is 100% following, which I still prefer. I follow the person placing the pins but the game is so fast paced that even in 40 hours I actually quite literally have no idea where to go. So we are all just sitting at this grace so I pinned a church, then pinned the closest camp and then some ruins after that. We actually did pretty decent and got through night #1 and got the Death Rite bird on Day #2. We were so newb that on night #1 we did not have time to get to a grace to level up. Used the same process for day #2. We ended up wiping on the Night #2 boss. I love how obscure the communication system is but it am dependant on a highly experienced leader taking charge of the missions.
