There were three of us who played together (rogue, warrior, mage) and we liked to thin critters out through doorways. Even having me stand on the left of the door, the warrior in the middle and the mage on the right, the game didn't always have us in those positions on everyone's screens. We liked to work as a team rather than individuals who were just working towards a common goal, but the goofy positioning errors sometimes made that difficult to do. =) At least we were all friends so my stray arrows didn't get me into too much trouble. Although, if I'm already in position and firing a specific direction, the warrior does have to learn to STAY OUT OF MY LINE OF FIRE. The other times were my fault though and lazy play. =)
a-HA, so they DO deserve it once in a while
But first displaced Monsters... and now the partners are showing up all willy-nilly on different spots for each player?
Maybe I was too hasty in my “ok, sounds reasonable” post above.
Which brings me back to one of the original questions: How DO you coordinate? Or am I getting an overly dramatic impression here and this is a fluke which only happens few and far between?
Does it only happen on Battlenet? Or does it happen with IPX / direct /... too?
Up until now, I had zero interest in playing online. Actually, that’s only half the truth. Worse: Pretty much most of what I read here and on other sites made me VERY wary of venturing out there. Sounds like a sure way to catch a lot of grief and/or aggravation. Both of which I don't need. I play to unwind if I can catch an hour or two, not to get riled up.
BUT, you guys got me at my most vulnerable point:
Now I'm too curious not to go...
Hearing and asking about something just doesn’t cut it.
But don't be surprised if I come back tomorrow bitching and whining
