Don't you people know what mutual means? If you don't have them added yourself, they can't "stalk" you.

What the friends list seems to be doing is following the mechanics of some of the newer MMO's, or at least newer ones that I've played.

Simply put: If two people both have each other as friends, they can look at where exactly both of them are.

If the friendship is "one-sided", you CANNOT see where that person on your friends list is.


It's a nice feature. Shame it made it into the game this late though.

It would be intresting if "Flux" was like in Left 4 Dead. Things like less healing from heal spells, more melee damage, etc. Would really shake things up.

The mutual friend location will be in GW2 also. This might be a test run for A-net

guess I will be deleting a lot of 'friends'....and oh boy tonics--they can sit next to my never used summoning stones (and the stacks of mysterious tonics nic insists on giving me).

well at least some new quests will be nice--even if they are only hard mode.

The in store sale has me excited. I've been toying with the idea of buying a character slot for a female elementalist (that I will model after Herta) and a mercenary slot so I can finally have a female hero instead of milquetoast Sousuke, arrogant Zhed, or smart-ass Vekk.

Stalker mode seems like it should be for guilds only. You meet really random people in Guild Wars, and friend them, but it doesn't mean either party was comfortable with the tailing feature. If they want to do something they can PM each other.

It's the 'other' (already existing) stuff that will be on sale. Several sites, including incgamers, have a post that states this:

Quote:
Also, from 28 April through to 9 June Guild Wars fans can take advantage of weekly sales on items such as costume packs, character slots, mission packs and more, which are all being reduced by 50% in the NCsoft Store. The sales will be updated at noon Pacific each week during the six week sale celebration.
It's highly unlikely that they're talking about brand new costume packs, character slots (?) and mission packs here...

"Mutual Friends List" is code for "You can't add someone to your friends list trivially anymore".

Used to be I could add someone to my friend list with no consequences. Here's an example of what I mean:

1. "Hey fellow pug members, can I bring my imbagon instead of my rit?"
2. "Sure thing, go ahead and switch to your imbagon instead"
3. *I add his rit to my friend list so I can see when his imbagon loads in and message him*
4. *I am forgetful, and as usual, I forget to remove him from my list*

Before, the above would happen without consequence.

Now? If I don't remember to remove him, then everyone on his friends list gets to see me?

Adding consequences to previously-trivial actions == lame, especially when those consequences affect my online privacy. I guess I'll have to go start deleting those trivially added people from my friends list.

I use my FL to keep up with friends and acquaintances since my guild is tiny and most of my friends are scattered around several guilds. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only person in this situation. Most of these people have more than one character and it's a lot easier to add them to my FL than have to ask who they are every time they send a whisper from a character I haven't seen before. It's sort of like my GW caller ID!

This doesn't mean I want them to know exactly where I am and what I'm doing.

Mutual, as in if you add me to your fl, and I add you to my fl, we can see each other's location. If you only add me to your fl, and I am not adding you, I can't see your location.

Other friends of me or of you has nothing to do with this.

The way you describe it, you'd need to clean your friends list once in a while anyway. I don't mind it, but the feature is not THAT helpful in a fully instanced game. I like it, because it shows the LTs devotion to the game. There were many updates in the past months, which have improved the client overall.

.... No.

All it means is that if you friend Bob and Bob friends you, when you look at your friends list it will say "Bob (in Ascalon City)". Similarly, if Bob looks at his friends list it will say "Ghull Ka (in Hells Precipice). "

If you don't want Bob to know where you are, simply defriend him (temporarily or permanently).

Bob's friends will not be able to see where you are unless you friend them and they friend you.
