Grouchybeast Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 They were removed on Live (wiki says I21). I guess they decided it wasn't worth keeping it after super-sidekicking came in. 1 Reunion player, ex-Defiant. AE SFMA: Zombie Ninja Pirates! (#18051) Regeneratio delenda est!

It grinds the server to a complete halt if it is large and active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Yeah, well, even on live when they *were* active they ended up being wonky, so... no surprise when dealing with the spaghetti. 1 Primarily on Everlasting.

Glacier Peak Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 I remember being able to level pact with an alt, so I did like a dual identity character who had two distinct (Ice and Fire) powers depending on who logged in.

Snarky Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 A Leveling Pact is a feature introduced in Issue 13 (and disabled in Issue 21 after changes to the Sidekick system had reduced the need for it) and an innovation to MMORPGs; this system allows two players to create new characters (or use existing low-level characters) and have their experience be permanently synced, whether or not both characters are online. They will always be the same level, even if one pactmate plays ten times more often than the other. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was envisioned (i suppose) as a way to keep a super team balanced as they progressed through content but allow for some individual romping off to do whatever when their friend was not on. In practice it was a farm method and it has broken everything everywhere everytime it was used 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
