Am I the only one who didn’t get help when I started playing the game?

I refused to turn on co op and let strangers in at first. I wanted to do it all myself 

I got through Dragonspine by myself lol. My mains were the starters like Kaeya, Traveler, Lisa and Bennett, and I didn't even know how primos worked (this player doesn't read). I spent them ALL on standard banner until a friend explained it to me.

I'm a solo player, doing stuff solo unless its boss or mat/artifact farming.

Would be cool to recieve help. I used to make starter gear and stuff and give those to newbies back in FFXIV.

Probably woukd do that again in the next mmo I play.

Put "need help with __" in your sig


I was a 1.0 player, even if I wanted help there was really no one that could

I play this game entirely solo with very few exceptions.


Those exceptions being:


1. Events that require co-op


2. The first Stygian rotations to see if farming artifacts on Hard was faster solo or in co-op (solo won)


I have had exactly one friend ever ask me to help them with something. I don't generally let people into my world either. 


Hasn't really impacted my experience negatively at all. This game isn't even close to the most complex gavha I've played and playing solo gives me a great sense of progression which is what I prefer.

I don't think I really needed help until AR45. My first foray into the Artifact domains was tough. Fortunately, domains have the co-up feature, so I was able to get matched with folks better equipped to handle the fights. I did my part as Barbara or Qiqi, since healers don't really need powerful equipment in order to heal well. Eventually, I got enough quality artifacts that I could stand on my own.

There were other spots along the way that gave me trouble, but rather than ask for help I figured out how to overcome them, whether it be by using food (fighting Oceanid), getting higher levels and better equipment (Spiral Abyss lower floors), or getting more suitable characters (Xiangling for the fight on the frozen pond in Dragonspine).

I love this video and find it to be heartwarming, but it doesn't really match my personal experience.

None knew what we were doing back in 1.0, there was none to help you

What's up with putting entirely different music on a video that already has music!?

I kinda co-oped like I had a friend and we just helped each other

I never needed it

I started fairly recently, and got Citlali as my first event 5 star. Went through the whole map to Natlan to get to her boss and flowers, got scared by said boss, put "help with Citlali boss" in my sig and immediately some Mavuika main on a shiny bike came and oneshotted it for me like 5 times. It was good. But I never needed help since

Wait people got help?

I always got help whenever I needed. Put "help me with x boss" and people did appear. Carried me Dragonspine and Inazuma. Thankyou strangers.
I myself helped many people in Dragonspine after leveling up

I never received any help 😞😞

day 2 player so it was more or less a given, esp when being solo player at heart lol
first time i ever did co-op was in the Dragon spine event in 1.2 were we had to kill the Resurgent Cryo Regisvine for mats for the Festering Desire, very few were able to solo that thing, luckily i had built Bennett so i was rather popular lol

Perfect depiction of my early days, still remember how long it took to defeat that wolf, my friend came with his HuTao with insane damages😭🩷 good ol days.

Closed Beta and Day 1 player; I am the help.

Nah. I also fought my war alone.

I played since 1.0 all by myself haha

This was my boyfriend since i started playing, babysiting me and helping me to get my beloved wanderer at his first banner. It was a long way we still enjoy the game together. :,)

I didn't know how co-op worked, everytime i tried to join i got declined. So I did it all by my self it made me tough and it made me feel like I could conquer the world, then when I turned co-op on I became a helping hand to new players who seeked help in hoyolab

Man, I miss this game...After Sumeru and Fontaine, I lost interest. Felt like the lore was going sideways and was getting confusing. Plus, the new character release was overwhelming. Always felt conflicted with trying to build existing vs spending primogems/fates for new characters.

Might just login and give it another go.

Ah, back when Multiplayer wasn’t a risk for hackers to break your world

Anyone that started in 1.X just fumbled through the game making dumb mistakes left and right. Its what made it so much fun.

Except that most of the times when you go into their world only for help they don't say anything and just kick you out after 1-3 minutes of awkward silence

What a cute animation.

I didn't know it was normal for people to get help. I only play with others when an event forces me to.

I started playing on release so i guess there wasn't anyone helping newbies at the time lol. But i did help my friends who started playing after tho

Since i was day 2 player no, not really. Still there were a few times years ago (1.X era) where people would randomly join and just decide to help me out with exploration, it was pretty convienent for the puzzles that actually required another player.

If they have awards at Hoyofairs I’d hope this short would win. It’s so damn cute 😭

I only co op for achievements.... which I haven't since Fontaine

i started 4.4 got help through dragonspine before kk stoped playing as much

Are you talking co-op? I haven’t used that. If you are talking online tutorials or asking questions of people on Reddit, then I do that almost everyday. Usually ignore the advice though.

This was the first time i smiled in years. Thx

1.1 or 1.2 player here, idk I met so many people who'd join me to do fun coop challenges. I learnt how to build characters and what artifacts were from a higher level player who joined me lol. (he did tell me to get Klee as I didn't have a strong fire dps lol)
Those were good days, I even joined a random world where we played hide n seek in liyue Harbour and just talked about life and stuff.
It's been a while since I played more coop like that, though I guess now I'm high level so I should join lower levels and repeat the cycle

You dont go to other people's worlds asking for help. You put it in your signature and then boom, people will ask to join your world.

I mean, I never got help from other players either, but that was because I never asked.

When I started the game, I did it all by myself and somehow also didn't unlock co-op until one day I finished the Mondstadt archon quest...and by then my Diluc was already at fine levels. So I've technically never recieved help, I've only helped others.

I am still playing solo. Had to figure it all out by myself

Started at 2.0. Never wanted help. Never needed help.

My only coop interactions have been people picking flowers/mining my chasm. Started in june last year

I just started the game around 2 weeks back. Co-op players actually helped me a lot, like a lot. They helped me pull characters, I had no idea about free fates we get from mail. Got Mona, Xinqu and Noelle from it. They cleared hypostasis boss for me. Also helped me clear Dragonspine. It was a nightmare for me with lvl 15 characters. Helped me clear stygian bosses too. 
I am yet to meet a toxic player in co-op. Players I have met are kind of helpful to the beginners. A lot of the mechanics I have learnt are because of them. Only thing it takes away from you is the experience of doing it solo.
