/players X command needed (NL)

Exactly. So to use it would involve doing what?

D2R is a game from 2021

Youā€™re thinking of D2 and D2:LoD which are indeed from back in the day

First, last, and only post in this thread by me.

Who cares what some game-sites say? The devs integrated a slider for SP, so it clearly isnā€™t a cheat. Itā€™s an official feature.
I donā€™t remember what Blizzardā€™s stance was about px 20 years ago, but now itā€™s an official feature in the game.
Like the shared stash which was also added. And is still sorely missing in Classic offline. Grandmaster Brevik mightā€™ve been thoroughly against it 24 years ago with his storage space miser blahblahblah, but again: Who cares nowadays? If VV/Blizzard/Activision/MS decides how they did that is the new reality.

And regarding px in online play: It wonā€™t come, so no need (for me) to discuss it. I would see both advantages and disadvantages for it.

In single player (off line) I have high doubts anyone would argue that.
On-line, is designed in itā€™s nature, as I understand it, as playing solo (with the associated lesser drop rate/experience gain) - as a true single player - or, having grouped with others (with the associated increased drop rate/experience gain, trade opportunities).
Players X on-line allows OP characters to progress with manipulated/concentrated higher drop rates/experience gain while maintaining trade opportunities/wealth and access to items not otherwise earned/dropped.

So, people loading X characters into their game via multiple accounts (which is also regarded as ā€œcheatingā€ btw) somehow validates players X online?
2 wrongs now somehow make a right, Billy is cheating/benefiting resultant of multi accounts, so - I should also be granted a benefit from PXā€¦ is that what you are inferring?

Are you trying to have a conversation/discussion, or leveraging a self proclaimed condition to gain access to a special level of enlightenment/stature/exemption to bolster your position?
Seems like a crutch if Iā€™m honestā€¦ one which I have no time for.

Hmmmā€¦ and all along I understood D2R was essentially a graphics bump from D2Lodā€¦ which may/might/could-possibly get a few tweaks to the original game-play.
Admittedly the Devā€™s have added some good, and some (IMO) bad, but fortunately a PX options command for On-Line has not been implemented.

PX online is nothing more than a plea from the lazy/greedy/status-seeking players to attain said status on-line without putting in the cooperative team play efforts and/or solo time/work/effort, to achieve goals they otherwise ā€œthinkā€ are unobtainableā€¦ 'causeā€¦ too hard and time consuming.

Grabbing another beer.
Take care.

I mean neither do unicorns, but I can define those as well. :stuck_out_tongue:

Iā€™ve played D2, D2LoD, D2R, combined, for 24 straight years now. I have I donā€™t even want to know how many hours played. To see you think that this game is at all relevant or that any of it matters or is a competition in any way, such that adding a px option to online would somehow someway ruin the experience, is laughable and insane. I will probably never understand your viewpoint on this. If it were 2001 or 2002, I may have ā€œtaken your position into considerationā€. But weā€™re 20+ years past that point. Iā€™ve seen the ā€œcoop team efforts to achieve goals blah blah whateverā€ in action, and itā€™s neither good nor fun nor interesting nor challenging. Itā€™s banal, and lame. Very few people like it, and even fewer care to participate in such charade. Px for online is long long long long long long long overdue.

Yes, itā€™s always been needed for bnet play. Single player is a better version of the game simply because this command exists. The only people speaking against it are the ones multiboxing. Partying with other players is purely a preference, and the lack of /players x hasnā€™t changed the amount of players willing to party up, and the addition of it will likewise not affect the number of players who want party play.

That as well has non ladder hardcore on xbox. I played 3 hours this morning and didnt see a single game in the lobby que. For private games it shouldnt be an issue especially in Non ladder

So youā€™re another one of those who claim to know THE ONES? xD
Iā€™m against it and never multiboxes/cheated.

People can say what they want, itā€™s more than just a difficulty slider since it not only increase the difficulty.

Thats a lie. There many problems with it. First and biggest problem are bots. They would benefit the most and way more than others.
Another point is that you give people less reason to team up. All of you talking like you only run around with top gear. While those creditcard-warriors would also profit more.

I could also talk bs like you and claim that everyone is in favor of /pX are THE ONES who buy stuff or bot lol.

Big lie and nonsense. Donā€™t spread :poop: like thatā€¦

The botters are already benefiting, this improves the QOL and levels the playing field for the actual players. Otherwise, lets just continue to tread water wearing an anchor like we have for 20 years, us vs the nerd bot farms, yay!

It changes NOTHING for the botters, but adds some enjoyment for the manual players who dont need to rely on other people all the time.

For those saying ā€œmake friendsā€ cant be on all the time.

My opinion is that the sole source of the constant posts about adding /px or other asinine request that pestered these forums, like higher drops and personal loot, spawns from the one of the diseases of the 21st century: Entitlement.

We want the best gear , fast, without hindrance of any kind and without fighting over our loot and ideally without trading or other human interaction. ā€œBut I dropped itā€¦Hurr durr durrā€¦thief!ā€. Is it frustrating to get a HR snatched from your face, a millisecond before picking it up? Yes it is! But itā€™s a feature of the game. Appreciate it is able to make you feel stuff. How many games can say that they are able to generate this kind of intense feelings. From elation and hope when seeing that Ber dropping instantly to anger and frustration when ninja level 57 sorc snatches it.

Appreciate the freedom of choice the game offers you. You can be the hero, the merchant, the thief, the philanthropist, the lone wolf, the villain, the dueler, the trickster, the collector, the warrior, the sociopath. All the /px apostles should stop for a moment and just take these aspects in account.

But some choose the troll live and keep on compulsively :clown_face: begging for a feature that will never come!

Do you not see or realize your own entitlement here? Itā€™s shockingly ironic to see you talk about entitlement honestly.

benefiting by what? i donā€™t get your reference. obviously they ā€œbenefitā€ from beeing a bot lol.
you donā€™t get my argument lol

Iā€™m sure you will enlighten us all!

The botters are already using players 8 with 8 bot games x however many bot farms they possessā€¦ They are already benefiting. Why dont we allow regular players to reap the same benefits?

You are correct, you said the botters would benefit moreā€¦ Oh well, they already crash the market within 24-48 hours.

Please tell me how it would benefit them more and how keeping regular players locked into a massive disadvantage, is good for anything other than some personal kudos because you did everything legitā€¦ If blizzard allows it, its legit.

So with /pX they wouldnā€™t be able to create more p8 games with the same amount of chars :thinking:

Yes, they wouldā€¦ But again, how would that impact anything when they already crash the game and market within 48 hours?

Lets take this a step furtherā€¦ Ban the bots? Benefitting botters wouldnt be relevant if their were no bots to benefit! So why punish progress for real players based on something that isnt allowed in the first place?
Yeah I know bots have been around longer than 70% of the current player base LOL, its a pipedream!

I know specifically here people against it that have talked about how they multibox.

I mean individually finding loot isnt how you become wealthy anyway in game. It pales in comparison in time and effort to offering services.
For instance finding a jmod is worth 2thousand fg(ive never found one) completeing a 1-99 service for someone can net you from 30k-120kfg without inclusing tips for speed and what you find doing it. Botters amass fg because they run up to 400 bots at one time and generally will have atleast 10 bots farming countess by the end of day 1 ladder. There is no comparing a single father that works 12 hours a day logging into the game to play 1 hour before bed to that.
