First: I have never played PS1.
I've only recently heard about this game, and I'm trying to understand a few things, still. It seems very hard to read about basics things about this game, maybe I'm just missing the obvious.
Basically, yes, I know this is a MMO. In my mind, I never had any intentions of "going at it completely solo". What I don't care for, is voice chat player interaction. Which is all I've seen talk about.
I'll never use voice chat myself, I'll leave it on, seems like the game would need it, but I will never use it (don't get me started on why
).
I expected the game to make it easy to play in groups and be part of a team, without using voice chat yourself, and without being a part of a "guild" (which you guys call outfits, right?). I have NO desire to -ever- be part of a MMO guild -> thats when it gets too serious for me, and it bothers me.
What should I expect my experience to be? Is the squad system designed to put you along side other people with no guild, or does it give you the choice somehow? I'd totally dig being part of teams, and I'd gladly follow another player's input, or a team leader's orders.
However, I ultimately have no real idea how all of this works in the game for a "solo" player like me. The game seems to have a differentiation between the average "soldiers" and people that want to lead a team, but I can't find specifics. What should I expect?
