Discord/TS is not for me? Anyone else can relate?
Hi, I play since 2003 ( 36M). For those who share the memories, we had MSN and sending private messages through the VIP list felt like high-tech at the time. Nonetheless, I chatted a lot while training skills on a summoned monk while my friend lvl 45 druid crafted Uh's to sell to the top levels.
In RL I am social like everybody else but not the biggest extrovert.
Nowadays people barely chat through the game windows because that would waste their precious exp an hour, I get that.
I will get to the point of the topic now which is when I join a channel and there are like 8 people talking I have no idea what to say. In the end I just end up hunting and 'listening to people talk', this feels weird to me because why on earth would I want to listen to people talk? I feel like there isn't anything I can add to the conversation as I don't multi-task well when hunting and I don't want to look at a screen while 'talking' to people on a microphone. Is there any 'RPG immersion to that'?
There's the fact that if you are on a PVP context the microphone is useful, I see myself needing to communicate on that scenario.
I just find it harder to 'connect' to people when I don't even see them on my screen, is just people that I don't know nor hunt with on a channel. It feels forced to me and I always feel like I am not participating in anything, just listening to people.
Does anyone else feel this way too? I feel bad for not loving discord and TS talks.
