Aww, stay strong! Don’t worry!
In fact, it is/was better than this in Legacy D2LoD HC, before D2R launched, and that game is 20 year old graphics. (Yes, i played Legacy right up until D2R released)

Yup it was definitely better, even with a lower player population, which is why I refused to believe this online mode was functioning correctly since the game launched.
I have played since 2001 , yes they pooped the bed on the lobby big time. Games don’t show up as often as usual, maybe when 2.4 launch be better .
Definitely always been a lot less games in HC its always been that way.
Go on discord on something only way to find games right now.
what discord exactly?
Most hc games are probably in hell. I’m assuming you’re in normal since you said you were doing tomb runs. Usually the Hc rush dies down fairly early for normal mode and a lot of players either will find you in hell games and tell you to go on discord for group private runs or if your lucky you’ll catch them in a public game.
I agree it sux. Devs should bring back custom channels too. I don’t like having to log on discord even though team speak is nice. Idk why blizzard doesn’t add custom channels and team speak to d2r. Maybe they will one day. I hope you find some games in the meantime.
Discord is just a gaming chat app.
You can join groups for different games find players to play with , rushes, clans, help etc.
Its very handy, I use it a lot to find people to play POE and grim dawjbwith especially as those games gave no lobby to begin with.
i’d hope everyone has realized that’s not an efficient place for… anything.
It’s efficient for 20-25, before you can start baal runs.
I know what discord is, I meant what discord server are you using to find games, etc.
i mean, you can choose to believe that. lol. there’s better areas for 20-25.
and if i’m just lvling a characters, and i’m not there yet, or i’ve passed it, i’m not going back to do it, it’s not good enough. and i’m not gonna go out of my way to just do tombs.
Can we please get a response that this is at least a known issue? Like I haven’t seen ANYTHING from the developers mentioning lobbies.
Yup, there’s plenty of people that have asked for these changes since launch, their threads almost instantly bomb soon after. This is a core problem with the game. It’s not even asking for a new feature. An acknowledgement post would help. Releasing ladder in this state would not be a good look.

The only better place is cows, which requires an enchant or an escort (and having beaten Baal to open, of course).

Yeah the chance of doing cows solo at 20 without gear is minimal. The chance a bunch of level 20s could kill cows without a carry, like literally impossible.
Welcome to no Ploot , zero reason to play in groups, and then people further being divided to only see games within close proximity to where they live and by close proximity I do mean very close.
Add in a bored player base because no one wants to group to compete for loot by whoever cheats the best (pickit for example) and you have zero incentive to list games .Add in no /players online option and you have less reason because anyone who joins will just be magic finding in your game.

I’m pretty sure tombs is good/efficient for 15-24, normal cows is better for 20-24 but you would have to find some high level carrying a normal cow game
whenever i converse with people on the forum i always wonder if they actually play the game, or to what extent. but it seem like most of you, don’t understand that JUST PLAYING THE GAME NORMALLY, is the fastest way to level, not going to certain area, getting a certain lvl, and moving to another “lvling area” … but i guess that needs to be explained.
That’s not true at all. There is a reason that baal runs and trist runs and tomb runs exist. It’s because they are super efficient for leveling.

I’m very happy (not really) to see that LoD players are affected by this now too. So far this issue only affected (actually destroyed it) pre-expansion players due to the small player base. We’ve been ignored, maybe this gets more attention now because of low ptr player amounts.
The real problem is that you can’t see games created by players from a different area. You only see a small proportion.
