How should I enjoy the game properly?
« on: January 25, 2015, 06:22:13 pm »
Hey guys,

I love FeralHeart and its community, but the problem is, after being in-game for a few minutes, I get bored and leave. The reason for this is that I feel there is nothing to do in here but walk around, chat, or roleplay. There isn't physically anything you can do in here like you can on Roblox and other games. I am that kind of person who prefers action over verbal roleplay. Many people say that roleplaying is what makes FH fun, but to me, roleplaying is a torture. First of all, I am a slow typer, and when I'm in the middle of writing a roleplay part, someone else says something that makes me have to completely change my part in order for the situation to make sense. Second, my typing speed combined with what other people say in the roleplay that I want to respond to pressure me to the point where I can't think of anything to say. Third, I am not a very good roleplayer overall. I just can't type out what I want to happen. Like I already said, I prefer action over words when it comes to roleplaying. I am not criticizing the game--FeralHeart is one of my top favorite games--but it's just that I feel that the gameplay doesn't work for me. If anyone can give me tips on how to enjoy FeralHeart properly, I would really appreciate that.

Thanks,
Blu

Shake it!

i enjoy the game by trying to mess with people. there's a lot of people at stone bridge so i go there and talk to people there. other times i explore and try to find someone to mess with. i don't go too far though obviously. idk, it's how i usually spend my time on the game.

There isn't any way to enjoy Feralheart 'properly'.

Really, however Feralheart is fun to you, is how you enjoy it. Whether it's roleplaying, making things for the game (maps, meshes, presets, etc.), just hanging out with friends, or exploring the maps. I don't really do much in-game when I'm on if none of my friends are on. Just try things out! If you want more action, try exploring or making your own maps. Feralheart really isn't an 'action' game, it is more a place to chat.

Theres always something to do in-game, whether it be role-playing or simply chatting. It's up to the user to decide what he/she wants to do.

Bonfire has alot of fan based role-plays, along with the variety of fun centers to partake in(not just mate center). Flourite is like rp central! Theres always something fun or exciting to find there. But, it's your choice on what you do in-game. Half the time i'm role-playing or simply doing something else while in-game.

Hope this advice is somewhat helpful, have fun love<3

But I can't roleplay well, as I said. I mean, I prefer to actually see something happen in-game as opposed to visualizing it. Like, I want more action like on Roblox. Also, there aren't a lot of people on FH who want to talk about the things I want to. Plus, getting around in the very large maps like Fluorite Plains are a pain for me. First of all, lag, and second, my characters move rather slowly, even when running. All of my characters have wings, and they can fly easily to a spot, but the flying speed is way too slow in my opinion. Like, think about it. Flying is faster than running, yes?

Not all role-players are alike, most will wait if you are posting. Have you tried one on one rp? The other person would wait for you to type without problem, or you can try to explain to the group at first that you type somewhat slow. It shouldn't matter how fast or slow you type. It should be the quality of the post that counts.
You lime pokemon yes? Theres ALOT of pokemon fans in this game that would love to chat with you, no doubt! Even if someone might not like the topic, you can always learn something new about someone by having a conversation.
Gettin around maps isn't a problem, we all have lag at some point, and yes it is a pain in the butt, but hey, it happens right? Having wings shouldn't be a problem either, depending on the size of character you have, that might depict the running speed, but it's still somewhat faster running in the game(fh logic!).

Sorry if my wording isnt well, useful..

well, there can't be more added to the game because the actual owner is unable to update it.

i'm going to be pretty blunt. if you want to play the game, you have to make an effort to do something as far as the game allows you to do. the advice that the other users are giving you are pretty useful, because it's all that you can do in this game as far as the game is updated right now.

if you can't make an effort to try to do something to spend time on the game, the door is right there.

Just don't be stressed when roleplaying! And also, make sure you're in a roleplay that matches your interests and skill level. And as said before, make sure your roleplay partners know that you are a slow typer and such.

One tip I have is just roleplay at your own pace. If you're most comfortable roleplaying a sentence or two for example, don't try to roleplay 5 paragraphs. Just stay calm, and remember that roleplaying isn't for everyone. If you don't enjoy it, don't do it.

And as OhKelseyYou said, practice. I used to be a terrible roleplayer, then I slowly improved and my vocabulary grew as well.
