Disabling other players in game

PC General Discussion

Hi guys and girls, just getting started with D4 and bumped into all kinds of players that I don’t know and have no interest in getting to know in my city. They can even kill the monsters I’m currently fighting in the overworld. This is mega annoying, completely immersion breaking. Is there any way to turn this off?

I don’t mind playing online at all, love being able to play with friends, and am even hyped about worldboss events with lots of players. But rando’s while I’m doing side quest? The exact reason why I hate MMO’s? That’s gotta be an optional feature that we can turn off somewhere right? I just can’t find it in the options menu.

Disabling Cross Network in Options → Social should help with that.

It is also possible, in theory, to play a ‘lan’ game using additional command arguments, though i’ve not tested it.

Nahh, I already asked about this, you are forced to play with others (No Trading though!!!). Kind of a lame implement, do it right or not at all. Mostly annoyed at all the party requests

I have given tons of items to my friends already lol

My friends only see me when they don’t have a job.

Disabling crossplay is very effective. Even other PC players with it enabled can’t even join your game, will get “crossplay settings must match” error if you try to invite or join a game.

Really? I have only seen like 4 or 5 people out in the world and im almost level 50.

Yep, I very rarely run into another player and usually at the storage chest. I suppose we’ll see more after 6/6, which will be nice to help clear some open world events faster.

I don’t mind seeing other players I don’t know running around but when I’m at the wardrobe in town it seems every singe one of them use the “taunt” chat ALL THE TIME.

“Join me”
“I need some help”

Very annoying

There should be a way to only hear “taunts” from your friends. I can’t find any setting like that.

Isn’t the world full of other adventurers?
If it weren’t the forces of evil would have taken over and destroyed every town

Do you people read up on the game you buy? I mean… Why would it be able to? Sorry buddy but you should make sure to research a game before buying said game.
