Default Re: The #1 Difference New Players Must Know For MP

I would like to think of myself as a Johnny, but in practice I'm definitely a Timmy. I enjoy finding a good combination, but what I'm really after is "500 out of 500 enemies killed" and battle spells that produce lots of little red numbers without any gemcost (D9 Cloud of Death being my favorite).

I'm going off what I've seen in the forums, having not played any high level games.
Actually, Spike sounds exactly like Micah.

And I would like to add a fourth type of player.

Kenny - Who knows the game, but usually has no idea what the hell he is doing. He just throws all kinds of stuff out there and hopes he finds something that sticks.

I would be a Kenny.

I am proud to be a Kenny too. Kennys of the world unite!

Well, so far my pattern in dom3 multiplayer has been more or less as a wannabe johnny who eventually realizes that in their current game the idea isn't really going to work, and resorts to spiky timmyism.

That and some straightup timmyism in my first game.

Ballbarian, I hereby take away your GIMP for an unspecified period. That is a really great graphic though,

As I do in MP games.

Where can I unite with the other Kennys?
