    Lightbulb Thoughts on in game etiquette

    So, I've decided to make a rule for myself. I don't go to the store in a map (when playing with others) unless it is a very quick purchase of much needed health or mana potions.

    Even if I level during a map, I always wait until the level is complete to go look and see what I have. I basically like to see what weapons & armor are available to me at the new level that I might want to purchase or that I might have looted. It takes me time to compare before I spend my new points. So, I do this in Towne. I don't want to be mistaken for a leecher when I am taking my time choosing how I spec my char.

    So, my thought was, to be polite, unless everyone in the group is fine with waiting for a player in BUSY, then do your upgrading & shopping in Towne.

    Just my two gold on the matter.

    Anyone else have any other in game etiquette thoughts?

    Yea true. Good to check on the tank/healer to make sure they aren't phailing before you go off to buy stuff.

    I pretty much donthe same thing (selling and biting stuff in towne). The one exception is for when I level. When I level, I wait until the instance is done and then allocate my new skills at the entrance of the new level).

    I agree, im seeing more and more afkers daily.

    Other than pots keep it in Towne.

    Maybe they could make it so that other than potions, other parts of the store are disabled while in mission.

    Possibly. Generally if im going through a dungeon with someone I don't mind if they sell some stuff during the game or buy stuff. I guess the usual rule apply for etiquette. I wouldn't complain if the armour/weaponry shop was moved to the town it would give it some much need purpose

    Here's one: just ran levels with a player who spammed the screen with the fireworks emote all during combat. How annoying. This was over and over.

    Perhaps the store could be disabled except for potions outside of the 'safety zone' at the beginning of levels?

    Never thought of moving the weapons store to the town, as you say, will give it much needed purpose.
    I'm the same as the rest, leave everything till Towne unless it's for pots.
    I do see many players, when going to the next level, go to Busy but that doesn't bother me as it's kind of a 'ready check' and as long as they're not doing it in the middle of a fight it's cool.

    I prefer running up to bosses to grab aggro then going to the store to browse. It just makes sense!

    I think the use of towns could use a lot of things to warrant its usefullness

    firstly lol@lostboy. pocket Legends needs more people like YOU ;P
    secondly: emote spam in combat?!? why would anyone do that :/ My guess is they were on an ipad.
    Thirdly: How about adding 'try to complete others combos but don't whine if they don't' so help people know what the combos are (like wall of thorns+lightning) but don't get angry if people aren't perfectly pulling them off.
