Before Attempting to Meetup [ ]

It is recommended to do at least one Journey before trying to meet a specific person.

This guide will explain methods to connect with someone specific in general and gives tips on how to avoid connecting to other players.

For general information about how to connect or reconnect to Companions see here: To connect or to disconnect!

Common courtesy [ ]

Please keep in mind, Journey is all about respect and empathy .

One common complaint is about the same Companion repeatedly dusting on sight, and it makes people sad. See Quotes below.

There will be times when you are looking for a random Companion . Imagine having "everyone" dust on you, just because you are the wrong person.

Imagine 10 people trying to meet 10 others specifically at the first level where you can connect.

All those players, plus random players that just happen to be there could get connected. If all those unwanted connections are aborted, it means that maybe around 50 people are abandoned, just in that time frame.

Most important hint, to avoid random players:

• Do not wait for your partner in a level.
• If entering the wrong level, pause the game and go to chapter select and then re-attempt by entering the correct level. (This method resets your scarf length to minimum length.)
• Quiting the game and restarting will show the "continue" option, which brings you to the start of the last saved level for re-entry. Levels are saved when you enter them from a previous level unless you've entered through a chapter select portal.
• Go offline , If you want to play a bit while waiting for your partner to be ready or simply stay in the first level.

Basics for meetings [ ]

Journey does not have a traditional "play with friend option".

The intention of the game is to connect to someone you do not know and to travel together. To get attached to that person, can be unique experience.

Although the game is designed for random encounters with an unknown friend, there are tricks to travel with a certain person . Pick a friend, someone from the in game meetings channel on the discord or a person you played before with.

The process follows some simple rules, but there is no 100 % way to avoid meeting another (unknown) person and depending on platform, it might take some attempts.

It is recommended to read the tips in this section, but if you just quickly want to meet a friend in the Broken Bridge level , see: Connecting in Broken Bridge

General Information [ ]

To meet a first run on any other platform, you must wear a Red Robe. It can be a nice experience to go back to when you started to Journey.

Things to consider:

• It is possible to connect in any level, but not in the first or last one (Chapter Select, Paradise).
• To avoid meeting other players , enter a level or go online at the very same second. Time it via a chat.
• If it takes you minutes to verify if you met, the other person might get attached and happy to meet you - just to see you dust later.
• Examples: several bigger and smaller chirps, standing at a certain place etc.

These are the only supported cross platform connections below:

• PlayStation Plus Premium players can connect to PlayStation 3 players, via cloud gaming [1]
• PlayStation 5 players connect to PS4 players

Note: Epic Games and Steam do not connect with each other.

This video covers the basics about disconnection triggers in each level:

Two players will connect if [ ]

• But not too far, such as at two different ends of the level.
• Standing at the exact same point as the Companion makes connecting harder, but not impossible
• Activating the normal Glyphs , picking up Symbols , calling the Flyers or activating the smaller Banners in Broken Bridge does not affect connection.

For platform specifics, see: Specifics for PS3, PS4, PC Versions

Further hints are also below at the "Connecting in Broken Bridge Section" .

Examples for triggers :

• Both players need to have the same bridge parts up or none activated.
• There are many triggers in the Underground level, the machines will be on different places for each player, thus, they will not connect.
• Even at the end of the level, it is extremely rare that a connection was reported.
• For more details about connection in each level see: To connect or to disconnect!, Specifics per level .

Get your save-files [ ]

Having save files ready when going on an arranged journey is very useful. It makes you able to start at any level, but with a long scarf. See: Hints for the Regularly Travelling Wayfarer - How to Backup and Restore a Certain Level with Certain Robe and Same Symbol

If you just use the Chapter Select buildings, you will have the "CS scarf"/short scarf.

Epic Games version seem to have problems with connecting people, this was recognised around summer 2021 (please contact the community on the discord, for tests and maybe solutions will be found).

We do not connect  :( [ ]

If despite several tries, no connection happens:

Quit the game, to avoid other players. Then check if:

• Both were able to meet randoms/other people in other Journeys?
• Both are connected to the internet / game-platform ; use a cable for stronger connection.
• Going on and offline to time the connection, can lead to the problem that one forgot to go online again.
• Sometimes you do not see a shine; Companion might be sitting behind a hill or is just far away.
• Change download region in Steam-options to the same of the Companion. [3]
• If both are using the same internet network (in the same household) it might not work. [4]
• PS4 specifics .

Normally, the connection is established within some seconds.

If you did not connect:

• Quit game (quit to title on PC versions does not disconnect you for some time from the wrong Companion that you might have met before)
• Start the game
• Both press continue, at the same time to reenter the level

If trying to connect in Bridge level : do not use the Chapter Select option, you need to watch the vision, to get to the second level.

Connecting in Broken Bridge [ ]

Most players naturally try to meet in Broken Bridge , to have a full Journey together. Just keep in mind, that everyone trying to meet a random player might get into your way.

Drawback on trying to connect in BB:

• Many people try to meet there or just start their Journey there.
• Depending on amount of players playing at that moment, the chances to connect to someone else are probably higher then in other levels.

Theoretically and in most cases you just need to do the following:

• Both players are ready and connected to the network.
• Both enter the Broken Bridge level at the exact same time, to avoid meeting others.
• As long as you stay at the ledge at the start of the level, connecting is not activated . A connection up there may happen, if you jumped around and hit the trigger ...
• Both go to a certain area in the level and walk a bit around.
• Either agree on activating certain Bridge Banners (both need to activate them) or do not activate any bridge Banners.
• You should connect. Use the sign you agreed on, to quickly recognise if its you.
• Connected to someone else? --> Oh, its not you
• It's not working. --> We do not connect :(

Step by step text [ ]

The list below can be used to copy and paste it to your trying-to-connect-with-companion. Send them the text to read beforehand.

"Raving's favorite" for Broken Bridge [ ]

We will try to go to the Broken Bridge level AT SAME TIME. Then chances are high that we connect.

• Start the game and do the quickstart-trick (use menu option "Chaper Select" right at the start of the Journey) to save time
• Go through the first level, pick the Symbols and watch the vision. Then wait at the stairs to the corridor to the next level.
• Do not already go to BB :) Wait for me to be ready too.
• Both say ready and then one says go.
• Both walk through the corridor to BB (or press continue, if the game was quit, when you were in BB).
• Do not activate the big bridge-building-banners or tell me if you did. Having those different means we will not connect.
• After entering the level, we should promptly head left to the first symbol there, you can pick it. Then walk a bit around and hope for connection.
• How will we recognise each other? How about ______ (enter your sign, like 2 small chirps, 1 big here. "I will chirp heavily will not work, many people just do that ;)) .

Is that you? [ ]

Agree on a certain, rather quick sign or place to stand upon meeting to identify if you connected with your friend. (or a game screenshot)

If it's not your friend, it could be considered "polite" to rather quickly dust on them, to avoid giving them the feeling you are up for a game (see also Common courtesy ).

Oh, its not you :( [ ]

If you run into another player while trying to connect with your friend:

• Quit the game. Your partner should do the same, to not get connected with the person that you just left.
• You could quickly activate a bridge banner, then quit the game. When you re-enter, their game will be in another state, thus you do not connect to them again. Could be seen as rude... they may had a plan and you messed it up for them ;)
• Give the other player time to leave the level / them activating triggers, before you retry
• Try to connect in the next level, to avoid frustration on both sides
• Read the " hints for every level "

To see if you are running into the same person again, check their Symbol. If it is the same as last time, it is the same person (however, coincidences can happen so this method is not guaranteed).

Specifics for PS3, PS4 and PC versions [ ]

Pc version specifics [ ].

The connection is also depending on the platform. There can be a server issue, maintenance etc.

Epic Games: Epic Games version FAQ . Sadly arranging a meetup does not work anymore on Epic Games, or meeting Companions in general.

• Note that while Steam does not have a region block, it does have a number of systems by which it determines which players it will prefer to connect you to.
• Steam will always prefer to connect you to someone/a lobby that is closer to you, geographically. Even if the ping time is higher than an another lobby that it considers to be further away.
• This can make it especially difficult to connect with a Companion if they live very far away from you.

Solution for playing across the globe:

• Change the download-server in steam options to the same as your partner or something in the middle, video here .
• It is based on where your public IP is considered to be, meaning you can "cheat" the system by using a vpn to change where Steam thinks you are.
• Note: Chapter Selecting to refresh is not tested on PC yet, exiting to title screen will not refresh the "lobby". Needs to be re-evaluated since the new patch could have changed that too, also refreshing is not really needed anymore.
• At launch the Epic Games Store's version supported LAN play natively, but may no longer.
• In a case where Steam version no longer supports LAN, a Steam emulator that supports tricking games into believing LAN networks are normal online connections can be used.

PS4 specifics [ ]

The best method found when trying to connect to someone is to turn off/on the network :

• The description at the YouTube video covers additional information.
• Turn off the network
• Wait 30 seconds, quickly turn it back on
• Wait another 30 seconds
• If no connection: turn off, and repeat until a connection. [5]
• If one goes offline, while the other goes online, it will not work.

PS3 specifics [ ]

PS3 is know to have the most reliable connection process and depending on the internet connection itself, also stable. Reconnecting works very well.

"The original PS3 version has perfect connecting. If a Companion is near you with a matching level, it will get the two of you together. If it doesn't, you can either unplug your lan cable from the router or sign out of psn. If you press triangle on account management you can sign out and sign in quickly." [6]

How does live chat work? A deep dive into behind the scenes of deploying a live chat solution

I’m guessing you are here because you are considering investing in a live chat tool and you want to understand how live chat works and how it impacts your business. Note that I used the word ‘invest’ and not ‘buy’ because the ROI you get from a live chat tool is so much more than you can imagine. I’ll get to that in a bit.

It’s not an exaggeration if I said conversations shape the world. If we clearly look at the evolution of communication, it gives you an interesting perspective on how conversations have evolved to become more personal, instant, and seamless.

We are living in interesting times where the world is growing smaller and connectivity is growing stronger. When you think about customer-brand communication, so much has changed from waiting on an IVR for ten long minutes just to get to hear the line ‘we’ll get back to you with the solution as soon as possible’ to get instant responses and solutions to our queries, first hand.

The best part? With tools like live chat, businesses have been able to jump this bandwagon and steer towards communicating with the customers through a channel that is near and dear to them. After all, 75% of the millennials prefer messaging over phone calls. For your brand to survive in this generation, you ought to start having to message and live-chat solutions to communicate and serve your customers better.

Before we get into how live chat works, let’s look at three main reasons why you need live-chat for your business.

Faster response rate

66% of adults feel that valuing their time is the most important thing a company can do to provide them with a good online customer experience.

With live chat, you can achieve faster response rates. In most cases, companies use live chat for instant responses. Imagine the lifecycle of a customer query before live-chat. Customers had to reach out to customer care support through phone if they needed to reach out immediately and email if response time was not their concern. IVRs , SLA, priority, status, were terminologies that were used frequently. Customers never got a proper response for their queries which in turn led to feeding their anger and dissatisfaction.

Not just customer experience, a faster response rate also leads to better lead generation . Before live chat, websites used forms for lead generation, which obviously was not the most efficient way to instantly reach out to the leads. And truth to be told, your website visitors are your hottest leads, and the time within which you engage with them makes or breaks their decision to invest in your product.

Personalized customer experience

What’s my favorite part about deploying a chat widget on websites? The fact that this is the first step towards achieving personalization. Personalization is gaining so much attention these days. Your customers want to be treated special and also want you to acknowledge their expectations from your product/service. And if we have learned one thing about people and their expectations, we know that it’s different for different people. A particular feature or product might mean different things for different people. So it’s essential that you pitch to them accordingly and have relevant conversations to pique their interest.

Live chat allows you to do just that. Even before you spend millions of bucks on using AI and ML to personalize and customize your website for different customers, try using a live chat to test the personalization waters. See if it works for your business. Live chat is by far the most non-creepy personalization solution available out there because it provides the right amount of context to the support agents to provide a personalized experience on customer interactions.

You can also trigger messages based on specific conditions like the time spent on a particular page and so on. Imagine this, your customer is contemplating buying your product but feels that it is a little too expensive for his/her budget. They are spending quite a bit of time on the pricing page. You shoot out a triggered message addressing them saying you are willing to offer a discount just for them. It definitely puts a smile on their face. It makes them happy. It makes them want to be loyal to you.

It’s a lot more than just messaging

Live chat is moving from a simple messaging solution to a more holistic customer engagement platform. Take Freshchat for instance. With our Proximity bundle, you can reach out to your customers wherever they are, the way they want to be reached. The live chat tool has evolved into something that redefines connectivity and accessibility. You can message, share your screen, get into a video call, share GIFs, documents, or if you’re an introvert like me, just use the customized self-service options to look for your answers. You can support your customers even when you’re not around — using bots. Be available on channels that your customers are on — Slack, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger , under the sea, inside a cave, just be there for them like their very own guardian angel.

How does live chat work?

I’m splitting this into two parts — a straightforward understanding of how to install a chat tool and how it works on your site. And the second is a contextual understanding of how live chat works in making your business better.

Let’s start by installing a chat tool on your website. Every chat solution has two views — the agent view and the user view. Once you decide on the chat product that you are interested in purchasing you can check out the step by step instructions on how to install the tool and where to place the widget on the product’s website. For example, you can view the installation video of Freshchat here .

Once you install the live chat tool, your customers can view the live chat widget on your website, whereas your agents have access to something called the agent dashboard.

Your agents will have options to view the conversations based on priority. Some live chat tools like Freshchat have options to automatically assign chat conversations to agents based on priority and assignment conditions.

Now that we have an idea of installation and working of live chat, let’s deep dive into how live chat works for your business, or in other words, what value add you can expect out of using a live chat tool.

On clicking the live chat widget, users have access to message channels, which function like an IVR for a chat. They can easily reach out to the right group to get their queries addressed.

Live chat tools allow you to integrate with multiple tools to improve the customer experience and make the engagement journey seamless and fluid. Customers can reach out to you wherever and whenever they want to.

Live chat ensures an increase in lead capture as you can deploy a hard-working chatbot in place of a form to collect information about the lead in an engaging manner. You can program the bot to engage your leads before the support or sales agent can take over.

Live chat leads to an increase in engagement. You can proactively reach out to more customers, you can keep your users informed of service outages, you can send them offers and discounts in real-time. The possibilities are limitless. Live chat also allows you to instantly collect feedback.

Some of the obvious value adds that a live chat tool offers are prompt conversational support and a decrease in response time. One of the main reasons behind deploying a live chat solution is to offer instant support and not let your customers hanging. This feature translates into increased efficiency in support and ensures promptness in solving queries. This a straight ticket to win loads of customer love.

Let the journey begin

If you notice, all of these benefits translate into efficiency which in turn leads to customer retention. Every penny spent on purchasing a live chat solution for your business is met with an equal or increased ROI, both quantitatively and qualitatively. A live chat solution will be a life-changer for your business if you explore the possibilities of the tool and map them to your requirements. Go ahead, get a live chat tool, and stay connected with your customers, now and forever!
