Open a Nmd 50 for example and people join during your run?
Dunno… in d2 wasnt it alwa,s o e bot porting to throne and 7 leechers ?
I dont think d2 had much social features…
Only thing i remember is ppl crying in gen chst after 300 pindle runs still no hr
Maybe cause items in d4 still not special?
Fractured winterglass makes cold sorc viable, sure it works without but not as good.
Ppl get it after 30 zir runs now.
They need pre uniques for uber uniques like in D2.
In d2 it was Shako midgame, opens all builds and griffon uber unique replaces it to make good build gozu.
We kind of skip midgame now. And no reason to really trade.
If you saw someone with enigma in d2 it was special, you chatted and traded. In d4 you basically need fractured winterglass for a build to work.
The, gotta fix that, if thats fixed chat comes
We need incentive to chat. Nothing is “wow” in this game, everyone can do most things solo. The only reason ppl grp is to share mats for spawns. And the ones who dont grp and play solo are to lazy to add ppl complicated and join discords.
I am not too interested in making “friends” so much as I would just prefer to play on a team, to do coop, to do quests, Helltides, etc. in a group. Some of the best times I ever had online gaming was in Diablo 2 with a fresh new character joining a group and playing through. I once had the fortune to get a good group in Normal and play all the way through to Hell at the start of a ladder. It was especially good with the variety of characters and how they complimented each other when no godly level 90+ rusher was there.
My one sad experience was having to go to Discord, minimize the game and find a player in the Bnet app to add them as a “friend”. Huh? Are you serious Blizzard? I just wanted to join a “game”, not add people to a friends list, not have to go to Discord.
There are at least 2 instances when during Helltides that people have grouped up. Downside is the small party limit is a continued legacy of the disaster known as Diablo 3.
