It is very possible to do /players on single play, and on bnet there is shared mf games up and running 24/7… Also if you don’t wanna use jsp, so i can’t really see why it should be implemented on bnet.
I think it is more rewarding to find an endgame type item without the added benefit of P8 or an HR.
I think it is more rewarding getting a character into the 90s exclusively doing P1, if not 99.
I like playing the game as it is and I think turning it up to 11 would ruin the experience as I’ve found out in SP where you can level and gear considerably faster with static maps and P8. That stuff doesn’t belong in online ladder play. If they want to do it for online NL, then be my guest. I don’t play NL at all. But people would be very bored very quickly when they have everything.
If people are botting for monetary gain I get why they’d want the best gear early so they’re more efficient.
But if you’re playing a game, the rewards should be almost unobtainable. They mean more and it’s an accomplishment to see them. You beat the average. Or you ran something 1000 times and put the work in. The satisfaction is in the journey.
As much I would love for /p8 to come to Battlenet, this will and should not ever happen.
Why would I love it? Because it would make things much more easier, remove the hassle and effort to gather a party. I’m lazy in general. But due to the current system I was able to meet a lot of nice people in the community. With /p8 I wouldn’t have met them most probably.
But that would stop being Diablo. It would kill the soul of the game. You need to sweat and curse to get that sweet lowered ‘no drop chance’.
P8 will never come to Battlenet. Try being a little less entitled!
I have played multiple builds for every class, this is irrelevant.
/players command on bottlenet because the multiplayer mode with /players was deleted after Blizzard assured us that it would be included
bottlenet is not static maps
You mean going through extra steps to play alone, together.

/player x is an indication that balance between classes dont exist and characters are not really representing diverse game styles. I recommended this many times already, that:
- All characters should be nerfed/buffed to a point where they can only complete hell in p1 almost easily in GG gear and have quite a challenge when they have average/first playthrough gear on them. Challenge does not mean they have to fight a boss for an hour, but the received damage should give you some challenge while it should be fair, too.
- Normal mobs’ health should be increased, elites’ and bosses’ should be lowered.
- Teleport should have cooldown.
- Drop rates of s**t items should be lowered by a lot on Hell difficulty, good items’ drop rate should be increased, so the above changes will give you challenge, but reward you as well in a fair way.
- DClone and Ubers should be revisited, because they favor melee builds right now (due to melee being significantly weaker than casters).
- Option should be added to you as a player to ban players you dont want to play with, so they cannot join the game you created. This would solve the problem of people joining “baalrun-xxx” games and killing mobs on their own somewhere else. Although, with the above changes it would be suicidal to try to solo p8, because the mobs would kill you easily.
These changes would not make the gameplay of different characters the same (and boring) just because a current op build would be as strong as any currently weak build, because the skills still require different playstyle. But I also believe that this could not even be properly done by the original D2 devs, let alone the D3-influenced new ones, so be careful what changes you wish for!
That’s such an illogical argument
You couldn’t pour water out of a boot even if the instructions were on the heel…
Who made you the arbiter of what type of build he likes to play
Why should Hdin be Stier and shockwave be C-tier? Why couldn’t be the other way around
That’s why balance is needed, so that the challenge comes from the content itself rather than poorely balanced skills which advantage some preferences and hinders others

Ladder race. Get /p8 to non-ladder! And everyone complaining “but the bots 
” can please explain me why in hell you would run a bot in non-ladder instead of ladder…

I want /players 8 to mf items on bnet godly rares that would otherwise take 1/800th the time without players 8… but also keep pubs pub to go BM PK.
Speaking of, I only play NL… PKer since 02
with /p8 there would be no pubs to pk anymore.
It would kill the game, but maybe this would be for the best… luckily not everyone is like the folks on this forum…
Hi Turlok! One honest question. Not trying to flame or anything, just wanting to understand. So if you have no problems soloing P8 on bnet, why do still want /players8 command? Just because of the hazzle?
He doesn’t want to listen to crybabies in game complaining when he goes into their game and doesn’t help with the task that they’re on.
First just flat out ignore them. You’re helping them get better drops and XP anyway. Even before TZ started killing off the P8 baal runs some people would complain in baal runs. We tested it forever ago if you have even 3-4 competent people running the waves you do not need everyone in the throne. Imagine being mad someone came in and gave you extra drops/XP without leeching any of the XP.
But if you want there are MF group discords if you want a link to them that you can split farm in. Also some of the organization teams for those racing to 99 have spots you can fill and farm. It makes finding P8 games faster. Though depending on the baal run it might be hard to keep up.
this is the same stupid idea that ive once read on wow forums
to make dungeon mythic+ you with ai bots
yeah you want that p8 loot whiteboi, dont you ?
would you be running lower kurast for ber runes infefinitly ?
you know what ? shut off

Thats quite ignorant and no it doesnt solve the problem. Most builds can still solo up to P5 pretty effectively.
Another ignorant assumption, I get your point, but its not all about being anti social. Most players play as a group to get going, build characters, but there isnt always opportunity to play anytime, and sometimes you just want to MF solo when you get a chance or feel like it.
Right now, what are the options? Crash public games which is griefing, buy multi accounts and have the hassle of having to load them in each time (if youre doing it legit), join public mf games, assuming someone isnt doing the place you want yet, and they keep to your comfortable timeframe, keep the games going consistently… There are so many factors.
This is correct, alot of players want it for those reasons, but that doesnt mean every single player needs to be painted with that brush.
Restricting something because of a few exploiters, cheaters, ect… Isnt the right way to handle it. We know what the right way is, but they cannot seem to do it because the cheaters are better at this than the game company, no surprise.
Exactly… They let the cheaters and modders win, white flag laziness.
Bingo, anyone who has played offline knows that its not a massive boost, its a boost, but its not game breaking.
Dont punish the many, to target the few.

I’ve voiced my opinion on concessions for /players X coming to Battle.net play. It would make it solely a difficulty adjustment for those wanting to play solo on Battle.net… And give a slight bump in drop rates from trash monsters:
I’d be more in favor of a monster power type setting that is separate from the monster difficulty augmenting that the player count does though.
It’s wasted effort at this point.
All these people, like the OP, see is juicy golden and green text in the world of Sanctuary while they run theirs or others’ bot-laden agenda to continue to fuel the cow that is third party sellers.
Frankly, I’m ready for Diablo 4 to come out. Will be putting my notice of farewell to these forums in when it hits.

Did… Did you just reply to yourself?

I’m fine with the player command coming to bnet tho. But also don’t care if it doesn’t come. Changing up the no drop chance would be cool too. Your idea to P3 eq in every game no matter what is actually decent, but then those P8/8 baal runs will cry that their drop rate drastically changed.
Honestly tho really the removal of TZ and baal runners not being dumb would really solve a lot of this. Those that complain about you farming in a baal run to me are crazy. You’re more likely to get a solid magic finder in your game for many many runs than you are to have solidly valuable people joining you in the throne room. I’d rather have consistency even when leveling knowing that the MF play was always going to be paying attention.
No… No I didn’t. I linked what I said for ease of reference.
There, I changed the period to a colon after “monsters”. 
AHHHHHHH I gotchuuuuu.
Bro I was like man that’s crazy he is about to start arguing… with himself. LETS GOO!!!
The whole P8 thing is so value for those who like item hunting. No drop messes with it quite a bit. P3 command is clearly OP even when fighting bosses and unique packs. I don’t think there is a “right” answer on it. Because if someone builds a char that can handle it shouldn’t they be allowed to actually handle it?
I’m not that drunk… Yet. 
You do know that the player count has no effect on the drops for unique and champion monsters, right?
