If you have a friend that also doesn't know, have him give a wrong answer in chat after you ask. People are more likely to correct someone who is wrong than they are to answer a question to be helpful.

Either set your Search flag to red which blocks invites, or type in /hide and select 1. Hide and block all Invite Options.

Whenyou are ready to join a team you can reset your flag or unselect /hide.
Err is that something that has come out within the last 6 months or so?

Never heard of it.

Note that for most, "initials" mean referring to the task-giver's name.

I did see someone advertising for a Eden trial, but using the name of the trial and shortening it, I though they were hunting for ghosts in Zelda ("PoE trial"

Both have been in the game since before I started playing though the Search Flags have been given a UI overhaul since then.

Setting your Search flag by

1. Clicking on Team at the top of you Chat window (while not on a team.)
2. Click in the space below 'Search Comment'
3. Type what you want your Search Comment to say.



You can also use the /comment command.


Set your Teaming option by:
1. Clicking on Team at the top of you Chat window (while not on a team.)
2. Clicking on the 'You are not looking for a group' drop down menu.
3. And selecting one of the following:



You may also use the /lfgset command.

I find it comes in handy for defeating cows.

I do DFB up to 16-22 depending on the character. I level the build based on what I want it to look like at that level, not how well it performs in the DFB. I will use the DFB as filler experience after that, and do not expect "perfect DFB performance" or build for that.

Aha now we see why the dfb threads and smileys.

I play on Freedom constantly now and I've found that if you get on to a team quickly or run straight to AE people don't send you blind invites (except on one occasion where I had a long conversation trying to explain to someone why I couldn't join their team as I was leading a full dfb trial )

Both are low-level trials formed through the TUT, accessed via the LFG menu on your chat box.
i, uh, i think you need to edit your edit. Mostly because i'm not quite sure what a "Bloon" is, but i suspect it's a highly illegal drug. Or something.

Now i would fully support "Drowning In Bloop"....

Trolling or accusing someone of being a troll is also a form of trolling and is not permitted.

P.S. Yes, I know. But I was doing it IRONICALLY.

Isn't this why you get 2 builds?
