Expand the number of players in the game

Currently up to 8 players in the game
Hope to add more people

Hmm. I don’t see the number increasing. There’s a bunch of reasons as to why this isn’t a real good idea, but I will list two:

  1. More people = increased difficulty per player
    • This would be beneficial to end-game players, but not new players.
  2. Chaotic loot scramble
    • The more people on a server, the less chance you will get any dropped loot

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind increased player count in games. More people = more fun… BUT more people also = more chance of toxic people, especially those that want to hostile the entire game and ruin any progression.

I find this interesting & relevant.
I can agree to more players in one game, but the size of the maps has to expand too.

While in theory this is an interesting idea, in practice I don’t think its going to work given that more players = more HP + Damage for Monsters and Bosses would hit even harder. Unless you go 75% Block and have ample Damage mitigation for Damage that gets through, you’re not going to last long against P12+ unless you’re a Mosaic Assassin where you can melt them before they even get to you.

Besides… every class can be represented in an 8-player game. You would think with modern hardware that they would give that possibility on Diablo 3 AND Diablo 4 but nope.

These are not valid reasons. Game makers can already cap and control the amount of players entering a game. Anyone concerned about difficulty or loot sharing already takes advantage of this.

It’s not going to change simply because blizzard doesn’t care about this game anymore, and not for any other articulable reason.

Imagine 20 players in the throne room, none of baal’s minions would be able to spawn!

Console players, at least on switch perhaps it isnt the same for xbox/ps, can only play with 4 instead of the 8 if that tells you the state of this request…
