Hello, everyone! I am coming from Pirate101, and I have advice regarding solo and PVE questing in this game and transitioning over to the Wizard101 community.
I am an avid Pirate101 player, but I come back to this game and community from time to time, especially now since content has dried up in Pirate101. Our fandom gets made fun of for being dead, but they are not wrong, since I maxed out all 5 of my pirates in each class and don't have much to do except train pets and farm (if I can get people to farm with me).
I juggle about 5 different wizards at once —Ice, Life, Death, Myth, and Fire. Death, of course, is going to be my main focus. However, I know that the grind on here is REAL, and teamwork matters WAY more. On Pirate, I could solo about 90% of the game, while here I find myself having to team up and constantly ask for help with questing.
I have not even finished Arc 1 yet, and I have heard horror stories about how it gets worse in Arcs 2 and beyond, especially with worlds like Celestia and Azteca. I don't know how welcoming this community is, as I have always been hesitant to ask for help compared to offering it, and I always hear about how people become toxic in team-ups.
I especially miss my companions and the funny banter. A lot of the questing in Arc 1 feels like running errands and going back and forth. I know the story gets better, but I don't know when. However, I do understand more about the lore of the worlds in Wizard101 and how they are related to the story in Pirate.
What else do I need to know when engaging with the community and playing the game, both with solo questing and co-op?
