When the 4 chars are fighting the Siegebreaker, Bashiok (female barb) uses a battle cry (ups the defense of the party) but the char we are watching (the WD) doesn't receive any bonus of that. Is it because she is too far from the barb?
If you check the bottom left of the screen at the start when they introduce the barb, you notice a blue icon telling the player that you are under the spell of battle cry.
My thought would be that they were not partied. I don't know if Blizzard is keeping Diablo 2's party screen icons. We could see two small boxes in the top left corner when the Barbarian received the help of those two mercenaries, similarly to Diablo 2, but not the Witch Doctor when he was fighting with the other 3 characters.
So either they were not partied, the other characters were out of range of the Battle Cry, or some other reason I can't think of.
Yeah, there was a lot of stuff they didn't have down when they released the video, Bashiok said this himself.
Of course in the actual game Barbs will be able to use battle cry on other chars.

Well the gameplay video is in the "beta" stages, so anything is up for change. The guy was probably not partied. Other then that, range is probably going to play a role.
you have found a leak! blizzard hasn't really realized it yet. you deserve 1000 cookies. lol maybe they are having problems with raidus or party, but good note. How do u guys pick this stuff up. crazy...

But the WD doesn't get that. Some thoughts?
If that's not it then probably out of the radius.

Well parties might not work yet or be buggy. Who knows.
