Diablo III – 4 players per game ?

What do you think about the concept of 4 players in a Diablo 3 Game ?
I personally like it, it would make the players more united. When creating a game you can get the game full in no time, a 4 player crowd is easier to create than 8.
Also there will be more loot and items for everyone and the greatest thing : More monsters per player.

But why would Blizzard do this, the drop from 8 players per game to 4 is a bit drastic.. i suspect they did it because of the graphics. You saw the gameplay videos and trailers, there will be a lot of magic and eye candy (even for the Barbarian) so 8 players using skills in the same area would create huge lag.. I personally prefer a smaller number of players to quality of gameplay, i don’t want my battles to lag because of an 8 player game

On the down side if you have 5 friends for example one of them would have to sit out or play in a different DIII game.

Some say that we should have the ability to choose from a 4 player or 8 player D3 game, i agree but i’m ok with number 4. I don’t mind i just want to play Diablo 3

      8 player games are better i think, just so u can go relax to town to buy some pots without the others aint even missing you for the moment

    • haios Said:

      Indeed, i would love to play diablo3 with all my friends in a 8 player game… I do hope Blizzard knows what it is doing.

      8 or 4 we will still buy this game though :)

      4? awesome. it’s not like a couple people will leave and you’ll be stuck with one other guy who’s afk or in another area as is typical of the other D games. at least in an 8 man you have a better chance of finding decent teammates

    • Bobby Said:

      I think it will work fine

    • diablo Said:

      IT WILL BE 4 PLAYERS!!!!
      remember d2?
      i got a good computer and wen theres 8 people casting shit it can get bad

      with the graphics on diablo 3 there will be no 8 player option

    • Waotong Said:

      wow it will probably be like d2 8 players a game because u can choose to have less people in your game

    • Sam Said:

      I hope they plan on eventually patching it to 8+ players. Its unique already not being a MMORPG, not its you and 3 other people per game??! The previews looked really slow, I hope PvP is as good as it was on D2

    • Mat Said:

      They might have brought it down to 4 because 8 might have been to powerful for the bosses.

    • Dirtybush Said:

      I don’t think the powerfulness of the characters is a problem if you can’t get to the goldly point in a diablo game then what are we doing people? Nigma Hoto CTA and let’s call it a day =]

      Godly*

      +1

      Man to my mind it’s a nonsens to put the limit to 4 players. Firstable there is 5 class just because of that it should be more than 4 and also the lag problem isn’t real for me, Blizzard can make wow not to lag in like 40 people instances why 8 man will make it?
