I'm sure you're all wonderful people, but how can I play the game without encountering anyone else? (lemmy.world)

The game is supposed to be an ominous and foreboding ARPG, and instead I run across BgButzzzz6nine, or I start moving towards some creatures on the other side of my screen, and before I've taken two steps some Necromancer and undead horde come buzzsawing through the area like a scythe, and I have to try and find someplace where I can actually kill things. The isolated feel was a key point of the game, and added to the ambiance and feel of the game. Now, I can't go 2 minutes without getting that immersion ruined by some random intrusion by another player. Is there some way to not be surrounded by other people while playing the game?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I saw somewhere on reddit where someone suggested setting your system time to the far future so that you aren't "matched" with anyone, but I haven't tried it myself.

When I played the campaign, I only saw a handful of people in the open world outside of town.

When I finished the campaign and started doing world events in WT3 AND WT4, that's when I started seeing a lot more people.

If you're just running between Nightmare dungeons and ignore world events, you can probably avoid most people. I'd say once they put in the ability to teleport to Nightmare dungeons, you'll see even less people
