Why do you get put into a greater rift that has already started over and over again? Any why do you when you leave a group being put back with the same group over and over again instead of a new group? This is so frustrating and take a lot of time and pleasure out of public rifting.
Its a Bliz “quality of life” feature they added that nobody wanted. It sucks.
Stay away from pub games. Problem solved
The game matching system in D3 has always been poorly instituted and likely not to change any time soon. Best bet is to join “communities” and or Clans as an alternative.
Cause a group of people were complaining of NO PUBLIC games of GR’s and that it always started you solo and complained about having to wait for a game.
So they added the QoL to put players into ongoing GR games so you could join in on the next GR run.
Now people complain about waiting again..
Personally players looking for GR’s use one of the many communities to get into GR groups they are looking for. They are far far superior.
Could be because there are no other open rift groups and instead of having you wait 30s then it create your instance of the game it will put you back into this group. If this happens, make your OWN public game so you can bypass that one but chances are as well, your trying to do public rifts at the wrong difficulty level where no one else is. If your not T13+ (expect for the the start of a season), dont expect any public games below the T13 level.
@OP Starting a GR with 3 players or less is a troll move. If you join a GR in progress, it’s either a troll or some one legit DCed. Starting a GR with less than 4 is pure troll - Knowing people will join your game. ETC.
Starting a GR is not considered troll if you are less than 4 man. Not everyone is going for a 150+ push.
We defintely need a better lobby system. It’s so fustrating when you join a GR game and everyone is looking to do different GR level, and at times it can lead to lower geared players to be vote kicked or if your the only high paragon you keep leaving and rejoining games until you find a good team.
We need a way to create games with titles and requirements, and be able to view games like a list.
I agree we need to define more the capabilities and expectations of public so you can easily find like parties to run with. To many people trying to tag along who offer no help to the party. Every character should have had to solo at least close to greater rift wanting to run. To many who have only solo 75 want to run with 110 parties and offer no or very little help.
Finding a good public game requires as much rng as finding a good item lol
