    Log into another character on the server and try to 'friend' the two-letter name. If someone is using that name, they'll show up on your friend list (server friend, NOT global friend).

    Not only that, I think they have upgraded the ambush tech. I was in a mission this weekend and watched an incoming ambush SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPS and go after different targets - one of whom was in another room down a long corridor.

    I suppose it might have been two simultaneous ambushes, but the numbers don't seem right for that. With a team size of 3, we got 5 ambushers who split into a group of 2 and a group of 3. Five seems like the right size for an ambush.

    Groucho Marx, right?
  4. I liked First Ward. I was about to do the first Night Ward contact and wasn't really sure what they were talking about in relation to past events. So, I went back to First Ward and ran all 8 arcs in order this past week.

    Best zone content ever? No.
    Did I like it better than the Hollows and Striga? Definitely.
    Better than Croatoa and Rikti War Zone? Slightly.
    So, overall, I thought it was pretty good.
  5. Can't help you there. I didn't take that power.

    I take issue with your OPINION that it should work differently from the way it does.

    Not cool to publicly badmouth people. Makes you look like a small person.

    "Okay."
    "This power is called Combat Jumping."
    "Cool."
    "This is Super Jump."
    "Wow."
    Then I switched to a character that could fly.
    Sold!

    It depends on the speed of your connection. I recall when I first started playing, it was over a 3 hour download so I spent that time reading the manual and surfing the net for information about the game. There were no staged downloads back then (7 years ago).

    Yes, you can come back later to finish downloading. You can also just leave it to download while you go do something else.

    Correct. And really not surprising. Everyone on the team has their own missions and the power has no way to know which one should be given precedence - unless the leader sets one.

    Hardly. I reply like this to anyone who does any of the following:
    1) Post things that are incorrect.
    2) Post opinion while claiming it to be fact.
    3) Posting just about anything likely to be confusing or misleading to other players.

    And everyone in the thread needs to grasp this. The way HE thinks it should work is the universal and obvious way it "should" work.

    I can agree with that part. It may be intentional, or it may not. We don't know. YOU don't know. So stop with the grand pronouncements of how it "should" be working.
  16. I remember the old days, when our rent was something like 400,000 prestige. Then they reduced it by some trifling amount. And now I think it's 2900.

    Seriously? We're already going there? The badges gave you NOTHING, but you need compensation if they remove them?

    Actually, I've been arguing that you're making 'factual' statements in the absence of actual knowledge. You THINK you know how it works, the explanation SEEMS reasonable, but unless you have communication from the devs, you don't have actual KNOWLEDGE.

    orly? You said the same thing in another thread. So you posted that you were done arguing, then went to a different thread and posted another wall of text argument. Okey doke.....

    Some places where you can get interaction to make things less 2 dimensional:
    A regularly scheduled team. When you team with people on a regular basis, it's more of a social activity than just grinding out XP.

    If you'd take it easy on the Guinness, you'd have more cash lying around.
    So sad to see squirrels staggering drunkenly down the street......
  21. For the overwhelming majority of enemies: yes.
    However, there are some that will see right through it and waste you. For example: snipers, Rularuu eyeballs, Rikti drones, some others.

    They just have downtime on Tuesday far too often. It confused me.
    Wait, which of us is having trouble understanding things?

    Please, both of those are just crazy wasteful. The right way to go is with a stylus and wax tablet. That way nothing gets used up.
