Updates
Reworked the player group system. The new system allows to gather your friends in a group in main menu, being able to use your stash or Hideout while the group leader sets up the raid:
- Group members no longer need to select the raid location, game mode, and time of day. All settings are handled by the Group Leader;
- After the group leader sets up the raid, all group members receive a raid invite;
- You can cancel the invite if you aren’t ready yet.
In Co-op practice mode you can gather up to 20 people in the group, depending on the location.
After a raid, the group will stay with the same participants that were in it. Only exception is the Co-op practice mode with more than 5 participants, in this case only the first 5 members stay in the group.
Changed the quest reward skill calculation. Players will always receive skill levels in the amount specified in the quest.
