A party member told me to click the option next to his name tag, and he said it would allow him to keep playing when he was out of energy. I do this, and 2 floors later, I notice that I'm down 40 energy instead of the expected 20. I mentioned this and he said that energy given to a party member would regenerate twice as fast when the lender is offline.
Is this true, or did I get scammed?
Well, you pay for the other person's elevator fee. What color was the tab circle when he wasn't tabbed? If it was yellow, then I'm sure he had mist energy left and tried fooling you.
No, mist cannot regenerate twice as fast when the lender is offline. That guy is an idiot.
