Quote:several times now upon joining a public game i have observed another player carrying on a one sided conversation. speaking at length to someone whom i could not see and read no chat text authored by, there in game. today i joined a game with one other visible player and two town portals already cast in town.
"Invisible" players are often caused by bad connections. Typically, when you can't see a particular player, you also don't see their chat. Likewise, the player invisible to you cannot see you and cannot see your chat. These games very often get hourglasses every few seconds. You can often fix the problem by rejoining.
I'm told there also exists a hack which can "invisible" players. You may be able to foil it by simply rejoining the game.
