I don't quest that much, but have done a few quests under the new system.  While I thought it did add to the 'realism'  I didn't like 2 aspects:

(1) As others mentioned, it felt very lonely to me.  I very quickly missed the feeling of 'teaming up' that simply comes from having a list of portraits at your side.  (Even though I very,very rarely use Party chat for anything)

(2) I think it is a hurdle for new players to the server.

I do appreciate the work, but it doesn't quite suit me personally.

Gone for the weekend, and probably a bit sparse next week (work is going to be killer).

used it now!

Thanks Naga, that's what I've been trying and it doesn't work.  :S

Am I the only one having this problem?

Have you tried "/c setally" without any name?  I recall Mort mentioning this functionality is already there.

I tried this and it did not work (Unrecognized Command)

I am not sure, but it could be a personal bug.  So far I have been unable to add / remove individual allies (it always gives Target Not Found), and once it set a nearby hostile PC as an ally when I used the Nearby command.  Probably these are all separate issues.

Keep in mind setally is best used for people you won't be pvping. It has no effect on "parties" for quests and once you set somebody as ally it persists through reset there after.

I actually didn't realize that.  My problem was related to setting nearby people as allies when walking around potential PVP areas, so that if we are ambushed and we need to start hostiling people, they are already included.  I guess if I do like you say and hostile in advance it is covered, but that seems a little more complicated than necessary.

Arrrrh.

Welcome aboard matey!

I enjoyed Praxes.  He pushed me in a few ways, and it was great.  I wish I had come up with more ways to interact with him over the long haul.


Edit: Also love that exile screenie.  Such a great scene.

Looking at these screenies makes me want to play a Stygian.  Cool stuff. sorry to see him go right after I met him.

theringbearer, I'll believe it when it happens.

Until then, good  luck to you.

Wait, is that a dude...or not?

The poor Courthouse, so much violence.

And btw, only 4 xp for taking down Alemander?

Taking a break for the weekend. No forums either.  Consider everything on hold, and please try to stay alive!
