When you will solve this problem? XP it’s very hard without and low kurast high runes farming it’s impossible. We need a patch,until there are players 1-8 I will not continue to play d2r, don’t treat console players like outcasts !!!

This is something both beta’s would have cleared up right away, however both were online only and no one knew otherwise. Still not an excuse for a feature that has been in the game for years on PC.
Honestly can’t believe how this wasn’t added on console from launch when you look at some of the achievement/trophy requirements. 40,000 Baal runs roughly will get you 99 with no players 8. I got a lot of beer to drink but damn…

I’ve been talking about this since the beta and the devs have never bothered to give console players a straight answer.

Exactly ! I didn’t know because I’m a SP but no problem if there isn’t from launch a small patch is enough to remedy the situation. They may have mistakenly assumed that all old D2 LoD players should play on PC, but there are a thousand reasons why I chose to play it on consoles. However when all those who have never played with D2 LoD find out that X players is essential I hope that blizzy will solve it.In the meantime I have stopped playing, without a patch I do not think about continuing

Sad that there is no answer from Blizzard. Without this feature, diablo on the console doesn’t make sense.

Ja również przestałem grać mają nas w dupie na konsole dostaliśmy grę która nie ma sensu to tak jak w Spyro grać robaczkiem zamiast smokiem albo w sekiro grac tylko proteza a pc ma wszystko lol
Yeah they need to address this. I’m waiting to play as well. Definitely not paying for this without players 8 feature. Tcp ip was bad but this is just unacceptable.

We must also insist on social channels, in the consoles the old D2 LoD players like us are few, we must spread and inform about this problem because the new players do not know in the least what we are talking about

I have been wondering for a while if we were getting this feature. I didnt even know what buttons to push to attempt to try it. If we do get it how do we implement player 8 on the controller?

I bought the game in hope they would have added it, since it appearently is still there for PC.
This leads me to believe that it “only” needs an interface added for SP.
They have the useless emote feature. Replace two of the emotes in SP with increasing/decreasing the player count.
That should be possible without too much effort…

Blizzard please respond for once, this question is being asked everywhere but still nothing from your side.

This would be the easiest thing to implement. A simple option in the menu would have taken care of it. Obviously someone will get in touch with Blizzard, somehow, somewhere, sometime, either in an interview, or through feedback, and put them to the wall.
It’s just plain stupid this isn’t implemented on consoles. It has been an integral part of Diablo 2 since it was implemented and helped make the game vastly more enjoyable to replay and experiment with.

I actually tagged Rod Ferguson in a D2R-related post on the 23rd asking him if players 8 command is going to be a feature for console version. He said, and I quote, “Not at this moment. Something we’re discussing for post launch.”

Please Blizzy/Visions, add /players on console
like the game engine is literally the same as pc
all they have to do is add a chat option, we already have on screen keyboards in all console OS
what is taking so long?? it’s literally one line of code
It’s not one line of code… but it should not be much work 
At least the functionality should be there. What is missing is the interface ingame…
Yes
20 chars limit sigh.

I mean, it seems like it should have been easier to keep it and make an interface slider than to hide it.
Why occupy developers with a useless tool like the emote wheelnand not use their creativity in something that actually INCREASES playability AND longevity of the game for single player.
If it were not for Single Player Mods like PlugY and streamers THAT USED THE PLAYERS X COMMAND for grailing, d2 would have died long ago leaving no community for the current remaster.
It evades me how this was left out of console…
