固定

• 読み: こてい
• ローマ字: kotei
• 漢字の分解: 固 (hard/fixed) + 定 (determined/set) → fixed, regular teammates who always play together
• 発音: /ko.te.i/

意味

A fixed party — a regular, consistent group of teammates who always play together, as opposed to random matchmaking.

The opposite of 野良 (random matchmaking), 固定 refers to a pre-established team that consistently plays together. Having a 固定 means reliable teammates who know each other's playstyles, enabling better coordination and communication. Finding a good 固定 is highly valued in Japanese gaming culture, and losing one can be a significant event for a player.

1. 固定メンバーで回したほうが効率いいよ。
