Please develope a way to track if you ever join a group

Please give us solo self found leaderboards. Add a tracker that detects if you ever enter a game with another player.

90% of the community would play this leaderboard only, and it would boom in popularity every season.

Not going to happen.

It is a bandaid fix.
Just work on better balance between solo and groups, and you dont need any artificial leaderboard separations.

wrong.

Solo Self Found is a very popular game mode in ARPGs. Calling it an ā€œartificial leaderboard separationā€ is like calling Battle Royal Mode a bandaid fix for Terrorists vs Counter Strike team fighting.

I am not arguing against solo self found. That can exist just fine. Still no need to have separate leaderboards for it however. When it is the balance which is the issue there.

With each set LBs implemented, I could see it happening. Don’t know when though. But no, I don’t think tracker is necessary nor the right way to do it. Just when making a character, or when rebirth, have it have a toggle-able checkbox (like HC). Once character is made, make it so that join public game is disabled. Have it have separate LB also.

I call BS. Much much closer to 9% than 90%. Most players who play solo really do not give a rip about what other players are doing or how they are doing it, and don’t care about GR times and leaderboards either.

The only mode worth fighting for is offline mode!

But many people do. I get it. I don’t care about them. I can’t even tell you how to find them since I’ve never cared enough to look. But you cant dismiss those that do.

While in certain it’s not 90%, it’s more than 9%. The main reason people group in D3 is for the efficiency. The main reason the majority don’t play SSF in PoE is efficiency. If you made solo in D3 and SSF in PoE as efficient as grouping and trade I’m 100% certain the majority of players would choose the solo path.

With that being said, I agree most players in general don’t care what others do. You still cannot dismiss those that want to compete in a fair setting. Solo players being lumped in with grouped players isn’t fair. I would have group and solo leaderboards for each GR. That way if you do a GR150 solo that run gets placed in the solo boards. If you do a GR150 in a group, that group gets placed in the group leaderboards.

I would also go one step further. Divide the boards by paragon ever 200. So 1-200, 201-400, and so on. That way bitters are sort of weeded out since they will be always in a super high paragon.

That’s just a basic, haven’t had my coffee brainstorm. But just because you don’t care doesn’t mean others feel the same way.

Wasn’t that like the third time?

The real issue is a tracker if the SSF player has anyone join their game.
There is a difference.

One can be so very conscious of not joining another party, but accidentally someone joins your SSF game because you have ā€˜auto join’ still on and your SSF season is over.

That is true SSF.

Is it though? You know it’s not going to happen. You and everyone knows this.

There are lots things that won’t happen but yet we still ask for them. Like no war or starvation on earth. I just added 1 more important thing to the list.

It’s not hard to set your game to private.

True, but I know of SSF friends that forgot to do that before a new season where they went SSF and had their shot ruined by someone entering their game.

A less respectable person having had someone join their game will leave game and act like nothing happened.

Hence the need for that one ability to track a persons games/party.

No reason to really. If you make a SSF mode then there should be no way to join a group or have someone else join your game.

I doubt Blizz will implement SSF mode in D3 similar to PoE’s SSF.

So ppl have to be honest and turn off ā€˜autojoin’ in order to play SSF.
