I suggest the friends list has a flag, that automatically confirms any requests to add your character and/or account.

 

This would be for players that are active vendors.  Currently it is really easy to find someone that advertises in the Market.  Just add them to your friends list and you can see when they are on, and what server.

 

With the flag checked, vendors would not have to manually approve every potential customer that is trying to find them.

Potentially shouldnt be a problem with the mailbox system

So with this "Mutual friends" system. What about people who are on your friends list but haven't logged in?

 

I have several people on my friends list who are like this but id like to know if they come back on.

I have been pretty negative about updates until now, so I thought it was only right to post here to say that I am looking forward to this one. Good work.

I hope the postman marks "return to sender" on anything dropped into the mailbox by someone on the recipient's ignore list.

Good job and thanks for the updates.  I appreciate the fact the crew at HCS is listening to everybody.  Keep up the excellent work. :)  *raises middle finger to everybody who said the next update wouldn't happen for another year*

Whats the point of the new friends system?  Do we even need it?  Sounds like a waste of dev time, could have spent the time on lvl 50 content.

Content (lvl50) and Coding (back end stuff like friends list, Guilds, AH, etc) are two different teams in HCS, or so we have been told :)

Given that MMOs are generally social games, I'd say a friends list is something that's been a long time coming. We've had a lot of people asking for a revamp of the friends list, and when we introduce the mail and guilds a lot of that work will be the underpinning for those other systems.

That's right. We have separate teams to deal with content and systems. Time spent on the friends list, mail or guilds has not impacted work that we're doing on the 47+ content.

 

Also Dave, I've asked someone to look at your ticket for you. I apologise for the delay.

Couldn't agree more

 

But seriously, why is there not an option to add an "Aquatence"? (non mutual friend)

 

And further do we need to back up our friends lists so we don't lose any who are on it now?

I just noticed but..

 

I don't see a reason why there would be account and character adding? I mean if you are friends with someone you want to know whenever they are online, not just 1 of their alts. 

 

Maybe if someone wanted to have a pker character, a pve character and a scammer character but that's still impossible because the site toplist allows anyone to see name of alts..

 

I could be missing something though.

when you accept the persons requests does this add them to your friends list also?

It'd be nice to have a Trading Bank where all players place there item's that he/she desire to trade. It is more easier for the player community.

Yeah the friendship is mutual and agreed by both sides so is added to both players. If one removes the other afterwards, then the friend is removed from both sides also.

It was suggested by a few players because from how I think it'll work - if you add the account - then you'll see them logging into their alts. And it annoyed some players because they did not want to see people logging in and out of their alts all the time... (especially if they don't even play on their alts and use it for storage).

And right now, I think it still shows the "main character" name and not the alt's name.. so not sure if they're changing that or have changed it?

And adding just the character - you'll only see them log-in that character and no other characters of theirs.

not sure if this has been asked but when the friend's list is updated does that mean when we log on that our friend's list will be blank and we have to start adding friends back ( that's if they do accept our add ofc)?

 

ugh that's gonna be a chore but if that's the case guess no choice.  do we both have to be online to do this or can we send a request and they will recieve it when they log on?   I know that I have friends that play at different times on different servers and my playtimes vary so only way I know we can catch eachother is being on same time and finding out we are online or having that feature.

 

So is adding friend's alts to list mean there is a seperate tab for that or total amount of characters on one's friend's list is still 200 max?

 

on mailboxes,  assume this will make trades/buys/sells easier for some.  how will this work.  is there a way to protect what you sent in leave of payment and visa versa?  I know in some games I played they had a feature that one could not obtain say an item sent if it was a buy/sell situation until they entered the payment so that both parties were assured of an honest transaction. 

 

while we may trust in those we know well certainly we need this in place for random transactions to assure no one gets scammed intentionally or otherwise. 

so a good security measure.

 

this would be good to have since auction house is in the future and may very well help some of us with commerce.

Slow but steady wins the race or something like that.

I'm just taking it slow, not sure about the steady.
