[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8174425, member: 6779196"] This is true, but wort noting that the Update when Token drop feature can cause lag, especially on larger maps. in my experience though, this isn’t as much of an issue as players spending time moving their tokens around to try and see what’s ahead instead of just moving ahead. Yeah, good faith play is important. That said, when I’ve played in games on VTTs and the DM has set the expectation that we should not move out tokens until asked to do so, I’ve mostly found it frustrating. I open a door. DM tells everyone to stop while they read a description of the room. At this point, no one can actually see more than a tiny sliver of the room being described. The description is overly prose-y, hard to follow, and not particularly helpful, but the game can’t proceed until the DM finishes and says we can start moving again. Once we’re allowed to move, everyone starts doing the little token jitter-dance to try and get a look at the room before rushing into it. There’s nothing in the room. We hesitantly move our tokens inside, waiting to be told to stop. Nothing happens. We jitter around the room some more until we’re confident we aren’t going to stumble on the square that triggers another bit of narration. I open another door, rinse, and repeat. [/QUOTE]
