Recent Teamates list in the "Friends List". Strangeness.

Has anybody noticed this?



Every once and awhile, there's a recent teammate called "...". It doesn't appear all the time, but it seems to pop on alot when I solo farm. I think big brother is watching!

Perhaps it's Pvp Chars that have since been deleted?

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

It's been there since the 'Recent Teammates' feature was added a couple of months back. I remember this well because one of my pet-hates is the dots of doom.

Let me explain: You know when something really good happens (i.e. a good drop from a chest) and someone else experiences a bad event (like a purple chest drop)? The pissed off person types three dots "...".

Crap story I know, but I remember joking about it ages ago.

Uh, more literally, I think this happens when a person logs out of the game, i noticed that names in the list entirely change at some points when i haven't even logged out, so yeah i think when someone changes chars on that account, the name changes to the char, and when they log out, it goes to ''...''

well it doesn't list heroes, so it could still be that since they steal all the loot...

Yeah it's probably for someone who has logged out of the game.

I notice it all the time. This is probably the most accurate answer.
