Out of curiosity, how far into the new companion/follower system have you actually coded? My favorite part of all fonlines has always been buildcraft, designing new builds, and the most important part of that is variety followed by balance.
I hate that the idea of a companion focused build would be lost or a complete non-option for PvP. I have some ideas that I would post to the suggestion section, but I don't know how much of a lost cause it would be if you've already put a bunch of hours into coding the new stuff already.
I've only recently returned to fonline, and will honestly admit I don't know how bad mass followers got in recent times. With that in mind I don't want to go whining and bitching like some people who don't even have a clue how bad it was. But at the same time I hate the idea that the nuclear option is being imposed and that it will be completely removed practically.
Oh and followup question, the fast relog thing only applies to PvP still right? And it will automatically prevent it unless I specifically work to bypass it? I have been mucking about alone relearning the game, and haven't done any PvP yet. I hate to be accidentally caught doing it, when all I intended was to swap items on characters in my tent before I go hunting.
