Never let it be said that they miss a chance for petty changes, I'm sure it was done to 'fix lag' lol

Sadly only scammers are "selling" boxes now. But if you do want to get scammed, I know a guy.

Just for the record, I bought ten stones from Dragonborn a few days back. Fair and civil trade which went smoothly

Possible it wasn't even an intentional fix. Just something that got "Fixed" while they were breaking something else.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

what is strange is that there's been no patch in the last two weeks.

It was fun because, while they were utterly useless for defense or regular survival tactics... you could get them all assembled, send them off to agro the living fuck out of everything, then sneak past all the mobs you just don't feel like dealing with because they're too busy eating all your hires...

So 5 hires (assuming you were soloing) in a dungeon?

I wonder how many folks were doing that?

One cause of lag, maybe?

I've always done it.

I just tested going from Storm Horns into The Tracker's Trap and out again.  All my 5 hires came with me.  Am I missing something?

There is still a working trick to summon 2 same hirelings or to summon over the 6 slot limit. It's super funny to run a non-raid with 5 ppl and 5 hirelings Wink

That does sound entertaining, but doesn't it turn into a giant lagfest?

Oh, I never knew that. I'll kindly ask for a share via pm, if someone feels I'm worthy of this knowledge.

I’ve seen it happen by accident too.  It’s generally a timing thing.  2people (or more I guess) initiating the summon action at the same time.
