Bit of a necro reply, mb, but that makes me want to give Deep Rock a try!

I’ve been feeling similar when I’ve been playing Helldivers 2. Many players have been quick to teach me about mechanics or strategies. And now that I’m a better player, I’ve had opportunities to do the same. The communication wheel can help a little, but nothing matches actually talking in vc.

But I’m also usually too shy or nervous to open mic with strangers regularly, so I tend to just ping or use the comm wheel. Maybe text chat if I have a safe spot.
