Why it can work socially
More than filling an empty squad slot.
Who it tends to suit
- Longer-term groups
- Survival players
- Regular squads
Make finding teammates less awkward
- Say what kind of session you want rather than only posting the game name.
- Include your usual times and whether voice chat is optional for you.
- Start with one session instead of trying to force a friendship immediately.
- If somebody fits your pace, make the next invitation specific and easy to answer.
What Lifted Spirits Gaming adds
Random matchmaking or a one-off group post can tell you who is available right now. Lifted Gaming adds the context that can help you decide who you might actually want to play with again, including usual times, play style, platform, voice preference and what somebody wants from gaming.
