I spent most of my 200+ hours in DRG so far playing with randoms because my friends aren’t as into it as I am. I can definitely say random matchmaking works great, and the community is amazing barring a few leaf lovers here and there.
Also the DLC is all cosmetic, so no need to buy any if you don’t want.
Man, I can't wait to play the same game 11 more times.
Also, forget critical thinking and skill based combat. Please add more arcade-y style combat and force me to spend more time grinding my levels up to give me that sweet, sweet sense of accomplishment.
