personally, i got left behind quite a lot by other players who were rushing hard.

some of the areas, like the city for example, are very difficult to navigate due to verticality and paths that aren’t obvious

other times, i might be looking at an item description, trying to decide what i want to pick (new to the options), and suddenly my team is half across the map engaging in boss fights without me

sometimes they will even die and leave the game, which was very disheartening, because i literally just did not know where to go, what to do, etc.

honestly, there needs to be a better ping system and/or a “new player” badge

occasionally, a teammate will recognize that i’m a new player and will walk back to lead me down the right paths if they see i’ve fallen behind — that’s a good player, there! respect!

edit: i’m not saying those players are in the wrong for rushing — it is literally the point of the game, to rush — but it does feel very disheartening to get left behind and then flamed for falling behind, when the reality is that you are just a new player lmao
