Accidental zerging

Post by Orbis_3 »

Not sure if this is truly a bug or a feature of the new breath in right quarters, but I wasn't expecting it.

I accidentally put two of my chars in the same gun shop (it may be the only gun shop), and they can't see each other and their searching and repairing works fine. I would have backed out my searcher if he had seen the negative-AP repairer in there, but since neither appeared listed as being inside (both can see the same 3rd character as the only other occupant), I just blithely assumed they were at two different locations. Is this how it's always worked? Not seeing your alts? And proximity not mattering for searches and repairs?

[Edited: someone just came and killed one alt and healed the other. The survivor DID see a message about the death, so we were definitely co-sharing that space.]

Not seeing your alts is intended and normal.

Proximity matters for all combat, but I don't think we added anything that makes it matter for searches and repairs.

Thanks! That explains it. I'll be more careful in the future.
