A shame to remove party system

It took a while to get used to it but I like it gone.

When the party system and player viewing was removed I was very much "What the HELL!?"

Now, I hardly even notice it, and it adds to even greater excitement and stresses the importance of never leave the party. For the player and character finding yourself all alone in a QA can definately give that, "Oh crap...," feeling, and also if a DM is watching messing with a alone character is often hilarious. I find myself looking at the map hoping to see the old party system icons so I can see where they are in the area sometimes.

No party system makes it more realistic, not oh ok Im coming to help u cuz I see u on my map, no its someone screams help you look around for who did.

Maybe I am just not so much into roleplay as you all seem to be.

It's not about roleplay or anything.

It's just about adaptation. One could miss it when they knew something different. After a while it's just normal and you adapt to the style.

If i remember right, the sistem was removed to allow greater inmersion. That is an advantage for hardcore RPers, many on EFU are, so it sounds like it was a good idea to implement.

Because asides from the XP sistem, the only actual disadvatange of it is not being able to stealth together effectively. Everything else you can addapt to

We all thought it was gonna be a big change when Mort anounced it, many threatened to "quit" even. In the end, after the bugs were solved, nobody minded. You'll get used to it.

There is no distance thing, I am quite certain the DMs have said that it's a matter of you are near the kill and get full exp or you are not close enough and get none, and the range is more than enough for archers and cowards to get the party exp

I still miss the old Party system, but then, I am an old fart, resistant to change.  Also, because work might take me away for a few months at a time, and the server changes alot, I get lost real easy on long trecks.                                                                                     And now, it is impossible to get a beer when walking to a distant point because you don't want to get separated from your party.  Actually, that is the only part that really matters.

The only thing I miss about the party system is the ease of moving in stealth as a group. If that problem could be addressed I would be so happy I'd probably crap my pants.

Prevents a lot of cheating and makes questing pretty scary. I love it, especially from a DM standpoint.

Now please pick a portal..

Takes some time getting used to, more especiallyfrom people coming from other servers, but in the end it really adds to immersion. Stick with it a while, and soon you won't even notice it.

EFU:A has -many- awesome things about it. Non-Party system is one of them.

Very easy, stealthy characters just need to unstealth and pause after every transition and re-stealth when the group has gathered. And then move together.

Or place junk items onto the ground to mark where you are passing.
