Co-op issue

[ImYourHuckleberry]

How can this be considered co-op if we cannot play cooperatively with our friends? I cannot see my friend when we are in a party. We can be standing at the exact same spot and not see each other. I cannot see him on the map and he cannot see me on the map. Are the devs considering this co-op just be cause we can see other players at some of the main hubs? Because that is not co-op.

As far as I'm aware, the only place players can actually play together are in the instanced boss encounters, which is essentially an arena area with a boss and a ten minute time limit (but usually it take less than half that time to complete it). There are only around five of these, but you will typically run them often for equipment.

I think you can only be grouped with other players on same server as you, and there's no way to pick your server (I believe you're assigned a server based on your physical location when you first launch the game).

There are also small public areas in safe locations (like Winterfell) where players can see each other. They recently increased the number of locations this occurs in, which is an odd choice given that the feedback on this feature was generally unfavorable.

I appreciate it. Thats what I was suspecting. I was wanting to play with my friends in full co-op. Bummer. On to the next one I suppose. I'll not waste anymore time with this stinker then... Thanks for the info...
