I must have sat at 30 campfires so far

and nobody has said a word during the minute waiting for the buff. Looks like most people go afk and do something else lol.

1 minute is way too long. Needs to be 30 seconds. I’d be more inclined to type a chat with a reduced time but I honestly use it as time to go grab a drink and pee.

I’m impartial to them. They’ve been good for finding people do the quests I want to do. Usually we riff for a little bit and then we’re off.

Go to options and turn on chat bubbles because for me, so many people talk when they’re around my campfires.

or you say the first hello

You get more conversation in the lines waiting to turn in quests where the npcs move, or quest item pickups that have a respawn timer.

I sat one down in front of the quest area for the ā€˜pilfered windstones’ quest. Had two people sit and RP chat.

Dude almost died to a mob and said ā€œphewā€.

I think people are outright lying.

I’ve had people talk maybe 60-70% of the time. I have a hard time believing you.

Campfires are perfect for a brb smoke.

Of course did you honestly expect otherwise? It is just downtime unfortunately. You can’t force communication from people that don’t want to communicate.

people always talking for me

So I sat down at a campfire and got a couple of useful buffs. Cool, I had a spare minute. But then I made the mistake of sitting at another campfire and got a couple of buffs that did nothing for my class AND they removed the good buffs from the first campfire… So I don’t bother with them anymore.

Also, if the design intent was for players to socialize, this is not going to work. 1 minute is too long for most people and they are just going to go AFK while waiting. That has been my experience so far.

I don’t think so. I think they are just players who don’t talk and players who do. Those who happen to be the talkative type are likely to get people talking. Those who aren’t will likely be silent and wait for someone else to start talking and if no one does. Silence.

Pretty much this. To be honest, most of the random ā€œtalkā€ so far (outside of groups or guild) has just been Americans going on about Israel, trump, explaining why the US is better than every other country and making racist trolls.

i did not see anything remotely like this

Trade chat in SW right now is discussing why europeans shouldn’t be allowed on the US server, and someone with an anti-sematic name going off about Israel.

damn didnt see that on horde

I always /wave.

The people saying this are also the ones not trying to talk themselves. I don’t get it, I’m not sure why they are so worried about people not talking to them if they aren’t talking themselves.

I’m not worried about it, I was making an observation and wondering if i was the only one.
