Why DF parties fail so much on hard content

[Laerune]

I have to agree with you aswell. I joined a dungeon and this happend in the first 2 minutes:

1. We all join the dungeon.
2. I type Hi and I want to start buffing, but then I see the tank running away.
3. I swiftcast stoneskin and protection on tank, tank grabs alot of mobs.
4. We have two non aoe dps........
5. We wipe.
6. Tank insults us, dps insults back etc.
7. We respawn.
8. Tank starts step 2.

Aside from a fast Hi, Hello, Salut, Bonjour, there is zero communication. I tried talking with others, but I get zero response. There are times when I get a STFU and go heal, healer response when I am doing a dungeon with randoms. I have also noticed that alot of players assume that other players have the same ilevel and skill.

alot of players assume that other players have the same ilevel and skill.

That is the cause of failure right there, no one should ever "assume" anything of any player @ least when it comes to DF...
