Blizzard expects the number of group players to increase steadily. Ofc it will with the forced multiplayer lol
If 85% of the players play solo, lets make their game session really bad for them! lol. Lets throw in every single buff and QoL.Blizzard always going against their playerbase and their games original core game play somehow.
if 85% of our players solo lets not add SSF mode so they are permanently behind 🤣🤣🤣
Here's a crazy idea...How about making some group content then?Real content, that helps forging meaningful and lasting relationships between players. Like Blizzard used to make.-And I'm not talking about 10 people standing ontop of eachother to slap the boss-spawn in a one shot, which seem to have become the sad and lazy standard of modern Blizzard MMO.Where's the challenge, why am I paying 3 times the prices for a 3rd of the content that takes twice as long, why have all the "fun things" been removed from MMO's while we're left with the mundane tasks?
Because Diablo has largely been a solo heavy franchise. Big shocker people want a single player game
Blizz wants less ppl playing solo.. yeah gratz. I just stop playing before being forced to multi player D4. The open world was a big L and now citadel with only multiplayer will be too
Blizzard just proving yet again they hate solo players.
Blizzard once again: Play the game how we want to and not how you would like to.Thanks for making a single player game with a coop mode into an open world mmo. Imagine understanding your audience.
I don't view this as very surprising. Single player IS, and will ALWAYS be, king. 🤷♂️🤷 Besides, Diablo has always been a primarily single player franchise with multi-player elements.
I have zero desire to play with other people.I play Diablo specifically to go on a dark lonely adventure.
Yeah…stop forcing multi-player in a series that’s been primarily solo for 25+ years and actually fix tempering or no thanks. Tempering is so bad, adding one reset per item does nothing, will just make double bricking feel worse.
I have hard time to understand why people are mad that the devs made a mode that is Coop to try. The fact that it has been a raise of players that play multi is a good reason imo to try making a new mode based on that. Its not like it will turn the game into fully Multiplayer just by adding one new mode. I do get the point that you're somewhat forced to do it if you want a scroll of retempering ''guarantee'' (because you can actually loot them at percentage like any other items, we just don't know what percentage it is), but at least it will make them try.If it doesn't work, they will simply make it soloable. They have proved that they listen to the players and made changes for it. If in the worse case they never make it soloable despise not working, you still have other new modes that are soloable, like Kurast Undercity, and they will just make Scroll of Retempering easier to get.
Launch a multiplayer game without a group finder and be surprised that 85% of players won't play without a group.
Everyone plays solo because there is ZERO POINT to play in a group, there are zero incentives beyond rotas. In fact it is literally better to play SOLO...
I know exactly how this is going to play out (I have played lost ark): The expansion comes out and people will group up with the party finder to eventually do the dark citadel, the mechanics are going to include a raid wipe mechanic if 1 person fails, that 1 person will fail over and over and eventually get kicked.Slowly over time people will become more toxic and start gatekeeping and eventually only the people with fully min maxed gear and proof that they have already cleared the raid will be invited and the rest of the playerbase will start to hate eachother more and stop trying to group up.Just make the raid soloable, please.
I have to laugh at some of these comments, they are really funny. Thank you people for your insightful opinions. Seriously, you do have a lot of good valid points to push forth to the devs.Being a totally soloist player since day one of the original Diablo and its spawned upgrades, I don't give a damn about playing with other players. The data that Blizzard sees in grouped activities does not necessarily help them decide on what to do next in how they put content out for us to experience. I believe, and this is my opinion, humble or hostile, idc, this scroll may show up in other "solo" activities once they see just how many really do decide to bite the bullet and try playing with others, or not.I love the opportunity to play this game (all versions of Diablo from 1 to 4 since release, just not the mobile Immortal one though) when not on Warcraft, it really has evolved in unexpected branches. NO, I will never join in with others to play, that only happens during a world boss event or when players show up when I am farming Bloodmaidens. I just hope that the devs do take note that a great deal of the player base enjoys their time playing by themselves. We get to be heroes for a short time, slaying hordes of demonic monsters while defending our beliefs in what we consider 'good' in life.
