No more 'gather the whole party' mechanics pls.

[Nick_RC]

I HATE these mechanics with a passion. Just running diplo immunity and having to get the whole party there is a pain. Its easier to have stragglers just wait outside until that part is done.

Awful mechanics please dont implement them. DA was bad enough to stop zerging this stuff is silly.

Sucks waiting on strugglers or, God forbid, AFKers.

You must gather your party before venturing forth!

Happened to me once in Misery's Peak. Hireling leeroyed and died near the start and I just left his soulstone. Couldn't complete the quest without going back to grab his soulstone and taking him back to the end room. Also couldn't dismiss the hireling unless they were in range.

You know you can just dissmiss your hireling by right clicking on it's name on the left of your screen right?


anyway i like the mechanic, stops zerging which by all means is a good thing.

Kind of like in Ghosts/Perdition? It's mean so people don' LEEROOYYY ahead, but, at that point the players should understand that anyway..

That's true but only if the hireling is in range. If you're at the end of the dungeon and the hireling is out of range you can't.

Nothing like your play time being micromanaged by a DM not even present.

[dunklezhan]

I can see that sometimes it's necessary for plot purposes:so how about they just put a timer on this sort of mechanic - after one minute the NPC or whatever says 'well, I just can't wait any longer to eat your face, so lets get to it' and then things carry on?

If you are in a pug:
-stop zerging and let them have some fun too
-stop pugging if this annoys you

if you are in a guild group:
-whip your guildies into shape... they can do better
-slow down... this is not "need for speed"

[Satinavian]

well, i do remember some MP run, where someone lagged and we had to wait for auto-DC. Was no fun.

On the other hand, i would not like zerging made even easier as it is.

Not every pug consists of 6 worthless morons behind 6 crippled toons. If you can't keep up and have fun with the zerging party, maybe you shouldn't have joined ZERG/fast run/no handholding/BYOH/etc. group?

That thing is supposed to prevent pikers from piking misery's peak, etc.
But pikers gonna pike no matter what, and naturally it's a pain if someone goes idle.

Sometimes it's because of quest events, e.g. on the snitch the party must keep up with the NPC halfling for every single fight.

The alternative was to have quests that lock the stragglers out, but then people will get annoyed if someone goes ahead rather than stay behind.
I believe there's more quests that lock you behind than quests where the party must gather up.

[CherryHaze]

Gues it dipends on how lucky u are ... and I perfectly understaind your though.
It is a real pain in teh behind when I have to wait for everyone to come to the quest, speciali if it takesd the 40 minutes o_O (yes it has happended) ... and in the midle, other people just quit the party becous they dont want to wait for an hour.

You play your way, I'll play mine. If I want to speed through stuff, that should be my decision, not yours and not the devs.

far better to have them log in and out to take take advantage of scaling

[Lorien_the_First_One]

This is definately a case of the left and right hand and Turbine not knowing what the other is doing.

They removed that mechanic from WW BECAUSE it was a bad idea in the very same release that they put the mechanic in MP.

It's a bad mechanic, it shouldn't be used.

[fuzzy1guy]

Gather your party to submit this suggestion to turbine.
