What do I have to do to get this to work?

Here's a standalone of the autogroup.dll for the RoF2 version of MQ2 if anyone wants it.

I remember getting the full compile from mmobugs long ago before they had any sort of restrictions or membership only nonsense.

Yeah it's like $119 a year now if I recall.  Thanks for this worked great!

I think Autogroup is VIP only download, I can't seem to locate it anywhere cept on MMOBugs and there, it's in VIP section.

Try adding a pause between the invites of the toons and the /bcaa //invite

like

Multiline.....
/pause 20
/bca //invite

Should work

I tried this but the only one that actually gets added is the last toon I invited on the multiline.

My favorite thread on this board, but I am having a problem trying to invite my 5 ALT toons and accept the invite all within one social.   I can't use 5 lines for individual /invite TOON and send a /bcaa //invite (this works) there aren't enough lines for all 5 toons so I tried using Multiline for the invites like this:

/multiline ; /invite TOONA ; /invite TOONB ; /invite TOONC ; /invite TOOND so on and so forth for all 5 toons... then:
/bcaa //invite

I get notification that I have invited these 5 toons, but none seem to get it, do not join, none of them are getting the invite it appears.

Suggestion from the peanut gallery.  Provide options for every tier that you consider need changed.  If you think FoB needs a change, give an alternative zone that you can do the same thing in.  Although from someone that is just a month or so into the game, FOB wasn't all that awful, it didn't take forever and once it was finished, it was finished.

Dulak is quite boring, but I think there should be more mobs available to kill for the quest.  Maybe some of the ship mobs?

POTIMEa was a blast.  That also I got help with, but once I got the hang of what's what there, I found I could solo and then group pretty easily.  The armor upgrades are very much appreciated.

BOT wasn't to awful, but it was boring... for me.  I was glad to get it over with.
 
LDON's were a struggle, but I managed to get some help.  If a group had zero assistance, and didn't have any Nexus buffs, it is a serious crawl.  Most folks who join that are true Newbies don't have two groups and probably think they will be soloing content.  LDON is the first obstacle and eye-opener.   If the intent is to make it more 'newbie friendly' LDoN should be looked at.  If the intent is to make it difficult and require some time, then leave it alone.

FG/CG was really enjoyable.  Getting to revisit all of those classic zones was awesome!  I wish there were more of this type of quests.  The nice thing is that each step wasn't THAT difficult, and by this time you have got a handle on instances and they help a ton!  It sorta felt like a mini-epic quest, but didn't require a lot of effort, just a bit of time and some ingenuity to traverse these old zones and get thru locked doors.   Loved it!

Hohonora is very boring.  I honestly think this is the first part I have hit that I feel  A SMALL PART of the pain that I read in OOC every day about the time sink with very limited drops.  Hours spent there, crawling along with a few if any drops towards advancement.  Granted, I can't mass pull the zone, but true newbies can't do that type of thing at this point.  Maybe handling 3 or 4 adds at a time can be done (with nexus buffs) but that's it.  No true newbie has the abilities YET for much more.

CT isn't awful, but the drops can be a problem.  Just that LAST piece, at least we can ask for rotts in OOC right?  How about the ability to hand in multi's for the one piece you need, sorta like POD?

POD, not so bad, there are many opportunities for assistance there from phatties mass pulling that zone that don't need the armor pcs that drop.

I know this isn't in order, it's just as it came to me.

How about a way to obtain higher level buffs from a BUFF BOT type NPC, maybe buffs that cost some gold?  100k per buff or something I dunno.

The thing is, who actually can make these changes on the server?  Is Akk the only 'developer' that we have?  I really just don't know who the movers and shakers are but the only one I see in OOC chat is AKK, and I think he has a lot on his plate as it is.

Do I need to reinstall my ALT install, then re-optimize?

I went back and checked the Global file and found it was no longer edited and was completely populated.  Not sure how that happened but I re-edited it to 3,1,TFFF,Global_chr,Loading Characters, but still crashes...

Thanks for helping, I edited those two zone files to the 1: dke,dke.  Still crashed.  Then I went back to your optimization guide and see you mentioned to edit all the EZServer files to that, I did that and still crash.

I finished the quest with two Bezerkers I made and got the ring.  When I click it, I crash after the zone half way loads.  I have four toons with fighter guild rings, and every one of them cannot log in to this zone.  

These four toons are on a dumbed-down install that I made according to the Optimization guide, and when I made this install, and my first two got the ring they COULD zone in, but something has changed and now I am not able to zone in with this install.   If I log these guys in on my main's install, which is NOT dumbed down, they can zone in.  

I thought maybe the map was the issue so I copied all the maps from my main's install over to the dumbed down install, but they still crash.  Any ideas?

Holy crap I can finally filter out Bard Spam!

I havent seen anyone going into a deep dark corner for buffing....typically if they are informing people in ooc they are buffing, then they are doing it in a location that players can get to pretty easily.

How do you get into a guild instance that's closed to invites to get buffs?

Buff Bot is great, don't get me wrong, just not great enough.  I have noticed since I started this week that asking for buffs is frowned upon.  I have seen buffers go as far as hide in out of the way places so their MGB's are not hitting those folks congregating in central areas. 

So, what's the newbie to do?  I guess the answer is that we have to spend our first couple of days getting our own buffers up to speed so we can self buff.
