Seriously, the PuG (pick up group) mentality is worse than the random games in d2, unless you get very picky about who you invite.
Actually, it is from a (normally) very helpful, friendly group of people that I was told to either "party with a PuG" or just shut up, because it was all "just me".
Quote:Unless you decided to leave the guild for some reason (I do remember inviting you and seeing your name appear on the roster), you've already got access to quite a few players who are more than willing to help out on any mission. You just need to make use of the guild channel. Usually the only time you might not see at least 4 of us on at once is during the 3pm - 9pm EST time block. I've completed the game with 3 different characters, so, basically, when I'm signed on it's to help out people in the guild.
Again, I refer you to the guild channel. Even when we're unavailable to help for missions (which would only be because we're in the middle of a mission/quest) we can still offer advice.
I haven't left to my knowledge, although I haven't found too many helpful faces, either. :P
Quote:I completely agree with you that the AI is horrendous, the only way I was able to beat some of the missions was to put them off until I could get at least 1 other guildmate to help me complete them.
I can live with the bad AI most of the time. But the god-awful pathfinding just kills me. I play a R/E, and so tactical positioning is of the utmost importance to me. Being unable to move anywhere reliably because of horrendous AI, thus not being able to hit my enemies with spells or arrows is a real PITA.
