This would add the drunk to my questionable list. If it was NOT on a holiday, they would be added to my "Karma is a B@&*%" list. In other games this was my ignore list, but I am not sure if it works or not yet, haven't had to use it since week three or four.

I spent most of last night being a Kraembulance around Pyr and it was not easy. This is a very good Post and has some great tips. The only thing I can add is to the Rezzer, make a stanza for rezzing only. Make it your max healling at only sap and healing cost - forget the distance modifier. If you can heal from 50m, there is a good chance, that whatever aggro killed them and they 'forgot' to tell you about WON'T even notice you. I know it sounds mean, however if you rez a person, and they are swamped by aggro again, you know you might have died AnD you have just reset thier timer so you can switch tactics to remove the aggo first and rez after...

Oh, and to everyone... Please do NOT drink and play. This is one Kraembulance driver that had some not nice things to say after the umpteeth time of rezzes, needed one and was laughed at because they group that needed them were drunk off their bottoms... /end rant

Also you can set any member of your group as a target on the compass, so you have an arrow to follow to get to them, and an exact distance. Wish there was some way to target folks, not in your group, who request a rez. Perhaps the devs could add a "distress beacon" or something like that, you could buy from possibly Kami/Karavan or NPC merchant and it would cost a fair amount, if you get killed you could activate the beacon which anyone could then target on the compass (it would be a one-use item). Just a thought.

Agree that the first post in the thread was quite excellent.

Talk about a BRILLIANT idea. You die, hit the HELP ME, NEED REZ button and you now FLASH and your dot is twice normal size (hard as HECK to miss), and maybe florescent PINK or I don't know, something LOUD to the eyes. Or maybe a Blue light flashing over your recumbent form.

/target [entity]

/target gfunk (targets gfunk)
/target robust (targets a robust in the area, not necessarily the closest)
/target bodokin (target a named mob)

/target does not support spaces, so you couldn't do for example "/target robust psykopla"...you would just have to do "/target robust".

this helps alot when finding people. especially in large large 100 player groups :0)

/target has gotten kind of flaky in the last month or so though. Used to be that you could target most anything up to like 200+ meters or so... but a lot of the time now you will need to be within 50 or so =(.

this is exactly why SoR needs to join almost every other MMO out there and get coords systems displayed next to the compass. the old 20 questions to figure out where the corpse is gets old, in Pyr where noobs like me are fresh off the boat, the conversation goes something like:

"I need a rez"

"where at?"

"ummm.... i'm near a tree on top of a hill"

"I need a little more than that"

"uhhh.....there's some Goari near by, and I went straight outta the gate"

"which gate?"

"dude, there's more than one gate? "

"yeah south, north and east"

"man, sorry I don't know then....... respawn timer just went, thanks anyways"

I mean come on, there's karavan , guns, spaceships, teleportation. how hard would it be to have a GPS, a diving rod, or crimeney, even a flare gun would be nice for after you die..........
