I was playing for a few hours last night and had quite a few prompts but no forced encounters. One thing I found strange though, a few times I would get a prompt and continue to receive it for the same guy while I was 2 or more squares from the original one. I thought it was just a coincidence that we were both traveling in the same direction at first but after the fourth time it happened it made me wonder. Do we still receive prompts for characters that are traveling 2,3,or 4 squares from us?
Until recently I had not played for about a year or so and I don't remember that ever happening before. I actually kind of like the feeling of paranoia it instills in me while looking for chests in city enc's. After so many years of Fonline I've come to know what to expect but this keeps me on my toes a bit.
allow us to find encounters with players not only at zone we stand on but also ones that are next to them.
