Why? Because theres no point of partying when you can just do the job alone.
"Lets go clear fauzt with group of 5". For what? Everybody will just clear different spot simultaneously. No need teamwork to clear the uber.
Unless every char designed to have different purpose then whats the point of MP?
And the xp based ladder doesnt competitive at all. "Look guys, I kill more monsters than you"


the new endgame rift seems challenging, that might be worth considering party play. Would have to wait for more details, but if they're calling it endgame rift, I assume its goign to be extremely hard for solo play to complete the 15 level dungeon as they wrote it

Well, the current uber are challenging and its super fun. But the subject is about playing it on sp or mp.
Yup, lets wait for that new rift.

Dumb question: is the mf you get from multi player games also reduced or is it just the experience that's changed?

*posts update thread* *saltybois start pouring out of the woodwork*

Edit: Sounds like just the exp is affected because of the purpose of cutting down on the need to party up to get quicker exp.

But on the other hand it feels nice to help people, showing them around the mod and just talking trash with some friends/ people online.

Yes I do find it annoying that SP is made more and more unattractive, especially since even online most people play alone on their own anyway. But on the other hand mp is the future because you can‘t make money with a sp game (like EA said a few months ago) and in general people like socializing more than playing alone. One of the big strengths of Diablo 2 were the chat channel system and the friendlist system imho. And I‘m glad that wasn‘t changed.


I understand your points, but EA isn't a good source for quoting, only if you wanna quote very bad business practises, many awesome game made a lot of money this year/last year and are single player only, such as god of war.. seikiro and many more, I think that excuse, especially coming from EA is just corporate bullshit to push lazy game designs, lootbox and p2w.

Well, that quote is bs either way because they said that when they talked about the Star Wars franchise. And now the next SP Star Wars was announced.

Either way. Sp doesn‘t give you as much money. And that is very true, no matter who says that.
