Honestly there should be a option in game for this. And people should be able to see this and join you. Like a status in the social or somethingā€¦ I guarantee this would be put to good use by many players.

How is it that D2 had chats and ways to communicate as a community. Love this game but wow has it taken steps back in certain aspects like this.

ā€™ * Why should people use this category? What is it for?ā€™

Why: Because we made a hybrid arpg/mmo and sold the game without a way to find a group unless you want to spam your friends list with 30 new friends a day by adding new people and then removing them constantly like a fun little minigame because we max your friend list at 200 friends. Just sit in town, spam local chat, and give yourself 30-60 minutes to find a group while you wait for world events that will pop up only after youā€™ve left for work or gone to sleep.

What is it for: Due to the fact we didnā€™t take the time to put the effort in to create a proper LFG system and are focused on selling $20 outfits for the full priced game you just purchased, you can manage finding a group on your own through 3rd party software removing absolutely any Quality of Life for group play!

Remember: We do have a Trade channel that reaches further than our local channel. You can utilize this channel to view spam from gold sellers while you desperately attempt to find a group in game!

Why isnā€™t this in the actual game. Itā€™s in DIABLO IMMORTAL as a QoL and should be here. Thereā€™s really no excuse for it being missing especially as this game is touted as some sort of ā€œsocialā€ world full of other players (it isnā€™t and the lack of LFG is a reason for that).

Because someone commit sue after being bullin, after join a party

No group finding options that are easy and intuitive is worse than Diablo I. Every other Diablo so far has made finding people to play together with easy and accessible in a way that was easy to understand. This is a buzzkill and canā€™t play this game again until they fix it.

How can you LFG? When there is no global chat to connect with anybody? Local chat? Who the F reads that?

Not having a looking for group in the game is a fatal flaw. When a huge amount of people were in the game at when it began many new to Diablo have quit. Weak players can not ask for help. They had no contact list unlike old Diablo players or Blizzard. There is a chat bar that is unusable. I assumed it was in the works to have chat and looking for group section. It is just basic gameplay. As it is it is all solo. It is hurting game and players. The game needs a way to interact socially. Just search ā€œlooking for groupā€ on this forum it is a large list.
It should be easy to see it is needed. People are asking for groups on the forums where no one checks while in game. Looking for group and chat needs fixing as a priority.

Blizzard, please give us an ingame LFG tool that lets you easily match with random people.

Sure, I do have friends who play diablo4 too, but same as I theyā€˜ve grown to have families, children, dogs, hobbies, clubs - in short: various IRL responsibilities.
So whenever we want to play diablo together, we need to plan ahead. Weeks ahead if we want to find a slot where more than 2 people are available.

As far as Iā€˜ve found, Diablo4 same as for example Diablo3 advertises playing in a group: you get more exp by doing so. So please, please, please: give me a way to instantly match up with random players who share the same objective.

I can really not understand why such a basic functionality is missing.
You had a perfectly fine matchmaking system in Diablo3 so I would really like a copy/paste of that - but Iā€˜d take less too: an LFG channel that lets me at least communicate my goal to other players so I can find others with the same goal.

Of course I can play Diablo4 solo too, but its just more fun in a group.

Using Discord or Clans for random matchmaking just doesnt work. Period.

*Applauds, you sir hit the nail on the head. Hence, I will no longer be playing diablo. I will troll the boards and talk crap about blizzard. I shall get my money worth out of diablo one way or the other.

What are good groups to join? I belond to comeback kids but not very active

I really hope they implement a system to make it easier to find and play with a group, even if it really only relates to dungeons. Dungeon crawling solo is so boring. It would be nice to see a option when going into a dungeon of any type and have an option to join someone and play even if it ends up only being one random player.

Please, create an in-game option to form groups, it is absurd to have a third-party LFG app (Android/ios) to do it.

Anyone remember Diablo 2 where you could just chat with each other live without even being in a game lobby? Wish that wasnt too advanced of an idea for 2024
