I got a goal to make friends this year in WoW, But how? I don’t think I’m the only one that this friend thing is always kinda scary. I’m just getting back into things after a couple year break. But Let’s say you’ve found a kind soul that has invited you to a guild and a discord -ok, that’s step one - then what? Seriously, lol!! It’s nerve-racking, break out in hives kind of thing!
Tips on the small talk in an online group would be great! In the virtual, social media world there is some magic knack for small talk and being charming and cute and people think that person is just a great fit! Major fail in that dept. here! lol!!!
A breakdown of how to interact after you’re in a group -i.e. guild or discord channel? I’m guessing not all the answers will fit my situation, but they might help others. (not dungeon ready yet)
So, in the Spirit of friendship and a good new year for everyone can you help start it out with your magic ingredients for just growing into a group? (oh, without being able to be there all the time?)
Just talk. Have fun, express yourself. If you had a good run or time with somebody then suggest a guild invite if you notice they aren’t in a guild, or maybe toss out a battle tag. it’s how it usually starts for me.
I didn’t read the group part.
The only groups I really participate in is my guild and a mythic plus community. That’s enough for me.
I came dangerously close to making a friend today. A druid chap was asking in general chat about how mages are in pvp but got no response. Then he happened to see me at the training dummies and asked me directly. So I said I don’t know about pvp at all, but that frostfire is extremely fun. He then excitedly told me how good druids are in one on one pvp and asked if he could show me. I didn’t want to be rude so I said sure. In fairness, it was impressive. Convoke is crazy powerful! I shared a few more friendly messages but then he seemed to be typing for a long time. I feared things were about to progress. So said I had to go and wished him well.
Perfectly nice interaction. But I just don’t want to have interactions.
Anyway, that’s my advice on making friends - fight a druid.
Thats easy, you stop thinking about whatever youre anxious about and just be yourself. If they like it, great, if they dont, try again with next group until you find ine that fits.
Ill tell you right now, youre over thinking by a factor of like 1000
It’s super easy. If you play with someone and you thought they did a good job or were enjoyable to play with, ask if you can btag them. If they accept, then toss them a whisper every now and then asking them how’re they’re doing, if they want to do anything in game. Be nice. Ask them about themselves if you get to talking, people like to talk about their interests more often than not.
Making wow friends requires way more time than I’m willing to put into the game now a days. I made some friends back when wow was the only game I played. I just wanted to be on wow for most of my free time. Now, I’d much rather play other games and have wow as a side game. Can’t make good in game friends if you’re only on 0-2 days a week.
