P2P Grouping patched.

[Will]

Me and several other P2P's can no longer invite F2P's into groups since the patch.

Thought you should know.

Edit:
The above information isn't 100% accurate, however several players are still having problems inviting f2p's. Stay tuned for updates.

Is this on live or PTR?

Live. You invite a f2p, and the client auto kicks them from the party. Wasn't in the patch notes probably because it's trial account related, so it wouldn't be. Not to mention the f2p rules state that you can't form parties so it wouldn't make sense for someone to be able to form them for you, so it wasn't working as intended to begin with.

​No way, if that's the truth this sucks!

Looks like it. So far me, and 2 other P2P's have been verified in AP Alliance Chat to not be able to invite. Me, Hawethorn, and Xaurym.

it does make sense that it would work one way and not the other...but yeah, it still sucks. ....here's to hoping its a bug.

i wonder if its all p2p or p2p>20 .... like how /say can be seen by p2p lowbies.


it doesn't make sense that they'd intentionally nerf grouping like that. part of the play experience is grouping and (imo at least), is an attractive feature they'd want to show people who are testing out the game. IMO its one of the more important features actually. speaking from experience getting my wife to play...she never would have subscribed if we couldn't have been in the same group...the grouping helps a newb get around (significantly helps imo) and adds to the "i'm sharing this experience with someone else" stuff.

bad marketing move imo.

Wow, that really is a blow to us F2P's. I guess simelq's are our option now.

roll a level 1 p2p and try to invite an f2p...let us know what happens.

also...how long does it take for the kick to happen? maybe that has something to do with why shft can do premades.

Hmmmm... More testing is needed, and maybe someone should open a ticket for verification?

I was running my f2p through dungeons on a 60 dk this morning.

Well this is clearly incorrect, because I can still invite people just fine.

 

[Marmalade]

It appears to be working alright at the moment. I did panic though D:

 

[Earlwing]

I'm done here.

Please, be serious this time.

If it's working for you fine, if it isn't sorry.

Cleaned up this thread so people might be warned that there is a bug or something out there without having to read all the retarded flaming, however I am closing it.
