    First non-human reply!

    With the new website layout I'm not sure where to find the manual patch these days, that's something I need to figure out.

    I've used the instance matching feature exactly once because nobody uses it. v.v It auto-squaded a group of us playing around with it for BH69.

    Never, because a random squad is almost guaranteed to be a waste of my time and resources. It usually consists of people with more e-peen than common sense.

    I haven't use the auto squad feature.

    Why?

    It's not because I wont join random squads, its more that I prefer to communicate with others, whether they're random or not, to get into a squad.

    I feel as if the auto squad feature could allow people into a squad that isn't wanted... or even needed, some squads really do need a cleric/barb.

    People are still more than willing to world chat to get people to join in for this or that, and be a little more in control about who gets in.

    I'll take a look at it real quick.

    EDIT: Still analyzing changes to data files, but a quick diff on item descriptions turned up this gem (in addition to some text fixes):
    18135: 42848 "^ffcb4aAn important resource to increase the speed of your Flyers.\rUsed at the ^ff00eeAerogear ForgeúMedium^ffcb4a in
    18136: Thousand Streams.\r^00ffffUpgrades Flyers purchased in the Event Boutique.\r^ff8400Event Boutique Only"
    18137: 42849 "^ffcb4aAn important resource to increase the speed of your Flyers.\rUsed at the ^ff00eeAerogear ForgeúAdvanced^ffcb4a i
    18138: n Thousand Streams."
    18140: 43024 "^ffcb4aAn important resource to increase the speed of your Flyers.\rUsed at the ^ff00eeAerogear ForgeúMedium^ffcb4a in
    18141: Thousand Streams.^00ffff"

    For easier reading:
    [42848] "An important resource to increase the speed of your Flyers.

    Used at the Aerogear Forge - Medium in Thousand Streams.

    Upgrades Flyers purchased in the Event Boutique.

    Event Boutique Only"


    [42849] "An important resource to increase the speed of your Flyers.

    Used at the Aerogear Forge - Advanced in Thousand Streams."


    [43024] "An important resource to increase the speed of your Flyers.

    Used at the Aerogear Forge - Medium in Thousand Streams."

    I'll see if I can find anything more in the rest of the files.



    UPDATE 2: The aforementioned items appear to be named "Wings of Luminescence", "Featherswept Wings", and another "Wings of Luminescence", respectively (the first WoL is for event boutique flyers, the second for normal), which are newly-added items with this patch. Whether they will actually be obtainable at the moment, I am not sure.

    The forges mentioned in the item descriptions have also been added, as would be expected.

    Looks like you will be able to use those items to upgrade pretty much any flyer to 3.3 / 6.6 speed.



    Looks like there might be new titles as well. Still looking.

    Never used it. After 4ish years of WC squadding, it never even crossed my mind to use it.
    As far as I can tell from responses, pretty much no one is using it, which sends it into an endless spiral of not being used XD

    I would LIKE to use it, but I don't because it doesn't work. Tested it with 5 other friends, and we weren't paired into a squad, this included a Barbarian and a Cleric, but no match was made for Lunar Glade.

    I think its safe to say that the auto squad feature is about as useless as the Perfect Match function....note that i said ABOUT as useless...at least when im bored i can enjoy messing with the Perfect Match function and pm random people stuff xD.


    Also where are the patch notes....i was hoping to peek at them to see what kind of fixes are in store..not that it really matters in the long run to me i just like to see xD.

    No I haven't used that feature. I actually turned the ability off. I really don't care to be spammed with random squad invites from random people asking to do their random power leveling things for them. As if I don't have enough chars to level on my own account without producing more people on server who have no clue how to play, control, or use their char correctly. b:shocked

    I never used auto-squad feature. To annoying.
    (Instance Matching) is to silly. People can say what they want. It's kinda annoying too.
    I blacklisted several ppl because the **** message from that Matching tool.
    In my eyes PWI should remove both options because its a joke or ppl can use it to joke someone else.

    Yeah, it's not bad... half the chance that anni packs give for a SoT, but 5x the chance that Primal Caches give -- not to mention it also has the Crown of Madness, which anni packs lack.

    Still a pack, of course, so I won't be touching it with a ten foot pole, but *shrug*

    You could get around it. Now its gonna be moment of truth, I personally wont say a thing if we can still bypass arc in order to keep it that ways. I honestly dont want useless program running on my background while I am on game, which is pretty much 247 (Shop, RoR, etc.)
