Please DIV team. Put a way to seamlessly group up in game for bosses, or somehow change the way boss rewards work. Bossing without a group feels like a waste of mats right now.
Every step of the process:
- Leaving the game to go to Discord
- Adding people as a friend who want to do the same boss
- Party up together
- Uh oh, they found another group so you’re solo again
- Adding other people as a friend to invite
- Finally killing the boss
- oops another person that you added earlier finally accepted - let them know you’re in a group so you can remove them.
- Leaving party and removing everyone as friend so your list doesn’t fill up.
- You still have extra mats, so time to start the tedious process over again
It’s so rough, I hate it.

I just focus on making a lot of gold early so that I can buy mats and just run solo. I’m busy, I could be called away from the game at any moment and then I’d be abandoning a group. It’s not very solo friendly unless you’re willing to throw gold at it.

I don’t do them since I’m that fabled “family man” everyone likes to meme about. I just never know when I’ll be called away at a moment’s notice. Maybe it will be for 1 minute, maybe it will be the end of my game time for the night just cause who knows what happened around the house.
As such, for the respect of the playtime of others, I just can’t commit a timeblock to be dedicated to the group. I don’t want to let others down and ruin their game experience. Thus I feel my options are to basically solo everything, but the miserly boss mat rates this season are really harsh for players like me.
I don’t know that I’m even asking for change, I just want Blizz to consider data points like myself if possible. Maybe they deem we’re not worth catering to, and I guess that’s fine.

I stopped doing them. I seem to get about the same number of mythic uniques just soloing tormented bosses as I do in rotations. And I don’t have to wait for a group, deal with scammers, etc. say goodbye to rotations, you’ll be happier!

This is a fable for a lot of players. Rotations are still far more efficient and rewarding.

So is playing the Best class/spec at any given time. Do you always play the most OP build on the most OP class? If not then you are not being efficient enough.

Math is math, 4x the loot for 1x the materials far exceeds what a player can do solo. Argue it all you want and then head back to elementary math class.

This is the first season ever I am playing in a party and joining a clan. And whenever you do rotations, make sure you party with only your clanmates or someone you can trust. I never had any issue with anybody in my party running away for mats.

Huh?
I did a 3x duriel rota and a 3x andy rota with the same group yesterday.
Today i’ve done 3x rota iving steel guy with 2 seperate groups.
It’s awsome and working great.
4x loot for every 1 set of boss mats you put out
Which is pretty depressing but i just don’t have another 20-30 hrs in my to level and gear another character
I’m just hoping for ring & grandfather to maybe do some dmg with this class.
Remove materials to summon bosses, problem solved. Change drop rates to compensate.

Idk why but I get 0 mythics in rotatios while if I solo tormented bosses I get a bunch of them

Boss mats are bad. Dungeon tasks are bad. Free the players, let us play.
Grinding mats to grind a boss so you can grind the mats for the actual boss that is rewarding is so obviously a terrible design it’s shocking. Imagine bringing this up in a meeting and people agree. What?

Yes it is absolutely tedious and nerf-killing. has Nothing to do with a relaxed gaming experience.
There should also be a vendor or at least a chest at the boss. Currently after each run you have to go to the town and sort the inventory. That also takes away from the flow of the game. And in the group you are still feeling stressed because you don’t want to keep people waiting.

The whole point is to grind a boss over and over and when you finally get something good to drop you get hit with dopamine. Right now you sleep through getting materials for 3 days just to killed the boss 16 times in a group because its efficient and most likely get geared within the first rota. Like I said, remove mats to summon bosses, and give uber unique drop rate like 1/5k, trust me on this, you’ll be able to solo at your own pace and get 100s of kills per day if you got time for it, if you only got an hour to play a day well too bad, not everything has to be a participation trophy.
Oh and the reason why they added materials was because they know they screwed up on the lack of items to chase for, so they make you do all this work for just a handful of uniques to put you in a false sense that you “grinded” a lot to obtain them and slow down the process of loot hunting instead of just introducing 300+ uniques split them up between the bosses and make you instantly summon and kill them 1-5,000+ times for something cool to drop.
Try getting in a Rota, let everyone know up front, then run your mats first. If you have to leave after you’ve run your mats, no one else is put out and you’re no worse off than running them yourself. However, if you do get some time, you can get the benefit of running in a group and get some extra runs. Most people that I’ve dealt with are pretty understand. Plus, worst case scenario, you leave early and they get someone to replace you.

It’s why I quit WoW.
And even WoW has a group finder!
But 100% agree! Group finder, everyone pays their way in. Such a simple solution.

Meh, be wasteful and don’t worry about it.
How can they make it easy enough for you and not put everyone else asleep?
