Play with a party
Shared encounters require each member’s participation.
Form an encounter from its actual region, then let other players join the open formation. An encounter can hold up to eight participants where its rules permit. Each participant supplies their own ration, equipment and packed consumables.
Only the current leader launches a formation. Everyone sees the same committed target and any disclosed variation. Being in the same Discord server or game guild does not silently join someone to your battle.
For a dungeon encounter, every expedition member must explicitly join or leave before launch. Once the round begins, communicate your intended support, target and timing. One person’s missing declaration can hold the round until the deadline.
