    Arete Landing

    Is there a place somewhere that we can go to meet up with friends in the same GS?

    As I recall the only place that was possible was the Alien Ship.

    Can this be looked at please? I've been unable to meet up with another because the character I rolled seems to be permanently flagged for GS=1 no matter when I log it in, and the other one for GS=3. This is highly, highly frustrating if you are trying to play with friends.

    Have your toons run to the alien ship way to the south, the one you can do team raids from and the "find a friend" quest for three ncu's for your 3-slot belt. If they are small just keep running ... the mobs give up after awhile.

    Inside the ship where the NPC resides is a common area, if you team up inside you should leave together in the same GS.

    The ship is a very poor compromise because it's all the way the other side of the pf and you have to run the gauntlet of Angry Minibulls and Rollerats to get there. Completely unsuitable for newly rolled L1s that just want to play together.

    I was wondering how a player managed to 5-box at the starter area the other evening.

    I don't disagree ... I was just offering the current / only solution. There is another thread with suggestions including creating a spot closer to the spawn point for teaming up with friends.

    This is big annoyance, thats it.

    I remember back in 2003 when I created character along with 2 friends (we bough boxed AO, played from same cafe). I walked over 1 hours in BackYard and we could not find each other. In that time ARK was greeting you if you had first character created, so I have asked him, how to find friends - he leaded me from Tir to WA and we could play together, but I was frustrated because different zones we started.

    So, yes - make Arete 1 GS zone!!!
    I like PvP

    TL4: Ladyrazor 112 fixer (retired) / Shha 100 NT / Cycolina lvl 100 NM Enforcer
    + Tons of other chars...
    I make weird TwInkz!

    Newbie island was confusing enough for true newbies to get in the same GS, this is an order of magnitude harder. Game either needs a GS/instance selector like AoC has, or add some building close to the rest where ppl can always land in the same GS (like the teleport tower was on the island).

    Bumping for this. Seriously. Playing with friends is the reason the game is still even here. FC should do all it can to facilitate that.

    I have to agree with this.. every time I started characters with friends it was a huge pain to get everyone together in the starter zone. Let's end that for good.

    I don't care if you make it 1 GS or if there's some magic way of bringing people in a team together or whatever. Do it and make it easy and obvious for new people to use.. it's a no-brainer.

    They should make the arena a zone, that one is a lot closer and there's not threat in the way.

    I'd like to see a 'Join Server Instance' Rclick menu option over a team-member. That way if someone is in GS2 and someone else is in GS3, one can Rclick over the other in teamwindow and select Join Server Instance to rezone them over (probably back at whatever entrance they originally entered in via). Not just for Arete I mean, for everything with instances e.g. TOTW, Mantis Den etc.

    This can create some issues with stuff like DB instances, I bet.
    Get to DB3's top floor, kill boss, switch to next GS, kill boss again, rinse and repeat.

    It would have to be made safe from abuse in a rather careful way.

    Well if it put you back at the entrance you'd have to kill your way up through the floors again, no?

    So long as it does, for sure, put you back at the entrance of the first floor, yes!

    You could of course just walk back into the shuttle that dropped you off at the upper platform when first entering Arete.
    Not as exciting as running all the way across the map to the alien ship... but a lot easier.
