Keywords: GROUP, UNGROUP
=== USER MANUAL ===
Usage: group group role <role>
group <person> group autoassist
group all group focus <target>
group invite <person> ungroup
group accept | decline ungroup <person>
Description:
Band together to fight harder and earn more. A group shares Mission
and Specialty Points from kills, and grouping is now rewarding rather than
a penalty: soloing earns the same as before, while each extra member adds a
bonus to every member's cut (up to a cap). Roles and squad tactics let you
coordinate in combat. Groups hold up to 8 players.
Forming a Group: (two ways)
group invite <person> Invite a player in the room. They reply with
group accept or group decline (invite lasts 60s).
follow + group The classic way: the target follows you, then
you group <person> (or group all) to enroll them.
The leader should not be following anyone. group <person> on an existing
member kicks them out.
Rewards & Fairness:
- Per-member reward rises with group size (solo unchanged, then
roughly +10% per extra member, capped at +50%).
- Members who are link-dead, in a far room, or far outside the
killer's level range neither earn a share nor dilute everyone
else's. Loot drops use the same rule.
Roles: group role <none|tank|medic|heavy>
tank ... Pulls aggro: intercepts ranged shots aimed at non-tank
members and is weighted 3x when enemies pick targets.
medic .. Group members in the room with a medic heal faster
(+25% HP regen).
heavy .. Deals +15% damage when attacking a target a groupmate
is already fighting (or the group's focus target).
The head of group also grants +10% HP regen to members in the room.
Squad Tactics:
group autoassist .... Toggle. When ON, you automatically join a
groupmate's fight against an NPC if you are idle
in the same room.
group focus <target> (head only) Mark a target for the squad.
Willing members pile onto it at once and heavys
get their bonus against it. group focus clear
to unset.
Disbanding:
ungroup ............. Disband the entire group. Non-charmed
members stop following the leader.
ungroup <person> .... Remove one member from the group.
Group Display:
Typing group with no arguments shows each member's stats and tags:
[120H 85V] [15 Hum] Corporal Hicks <Tank> (Head of group)
