I just want to hear what you guys have to say about the way multiplayer games are handled...I mean is it just me or is the auto-joining thing is really bad if you compare it to diablo2 ?

Personally, I totally dislike the way they made this...there is no channel to chat, no way to choose the game you want to join, if you want to go back in normal mode you have to choose a quest specificaly.

I'd like to know if Blizzard is planning on changing this because at the moment D3 just feels like a single player game with an AH. 4 players games are not fun either.

It may looks like a rant but there are other aspects that I like about the game so it really isn't. I'm just wondering if they are going to better things I've talked about.

 

Thank you

The way they did the multiplayer is pretty bad. You can't see any games not can you create your own like we did in the past. Definitely a single player game that has been forced to online only.

You really have it out for blizzard huh? lol

Anyways the game fine for Multiplayer. 4 is a good number of players for this game and it feels right. There is a chat channel if you want to chat.

As for the game thing, you can create your own there just isn't a title. You can join games easier, you no longer have to hop 10+ games to find a decent one worth staying for.

Nothing forced here, it all runs quite smooth imo.

This is not entirely true.

 

You can create your own game and make it public or keep it private. In a private game anyone on your friends list can join you at any time.

 

You can join a random public game by selecting which quest you want the game to be on. that way the public game you join is in exactly the same spot as you are.

 

These features are awesome if you ask me.

Mm, yeah no dedicated server browser kinda sucks, but I end up friending the ones who want to do certain runs and join their game. There are ways around it.
