A player is convinced in Where Winds Meet that he simply added someone else as a friend. But suddenly he finds himself in a committed partnership.
How does the partnership work? There is a relationship system divided into 10 levels among players. By playing activities, mini-games, and cooperative challenges together, players earn intimacy points together. This increases the relationship level.
In a cooperative partnership, players can help each other with campaign challenges and share loot. Additionally, there are social activities like Mahjong, Go, or playing music on the Guzheng.
A player unexpectedly discovered that he suddenly already has a partner. However, he doesn’t want this at all – and asks how he can delete him.
Player finds Squidward Tentacles as a partner
What is the problem? The player describes on Reddit that he added a friend. However, when he checked his partnership, this friend appeared out of nowhere. He couldn’t explain how this player suddenly became his partner. He didn’t press anything or confirm.
That’s why he asks how he can remove the player. The whole situation seems particularly funny because the friend looks like a low-budget version of Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants:
The character editor of Where Winds Meet offers players a lot of freedom, which is why such quirky characters can also be created.
Can players help? Some users joke that this would correspond to a real-world situation if you woke up next to a stranger. Many think that this is not a partnership at all.
Rather, it’s a portrait with a friend. You can also swap in friends. As the post creator replies, he was right with this tip:
Thank you very much. You are right, I believe that is exactly what happened. When I saw Squidward Tentacles, I screamed and ran to Reddit to desperately seek help because I couldn’t find anything online. LOL. I was so embarrassed – this is not the husband I envisioned.
Others, however, joke that it doesn’t matter about appearances and the player should give Squidward a chance.
Even in the game itself, fans help each other. Healing at the designated NPC is way too expensive. Therefore, players simply open a clinic: Sick players meet online in a “clinic” in Where Winds Meet, save a ton of gold, and also help the healers
