definately sounds like they need to encourage coop play in inferno, the monsters would be harder and therefore = should be better loot, even if ever so slightly, it would encourage team play even when ''''farming'''' and discourage being a loner.

Uh .. no... do not be forcing coop on me. I played D1 solo, I played D2 solo and I prefer to play this game solo. I have no problems with them coming up with incentives for people to coop but not come up with ways to "discourage being a loner"

like i said, just a mild item drop buff, not to make it impossible for solo players to find stuff, but how else would you encourage coop once it comes to just item finding? ( ''farming'')
and wtf are you doing? you have to play this game online might as well play with people

I have no issue with item drop buffs for groups. as for why I play solo I have a family and I need to be avaiable at all times. I have my friends list if I want to group or need help with something.
blizzard needs to stop penalizing co-op play and the ridiculous difficulty of inferno makes people not want to play. the disparity between hell and inferno is ridiculous. even from inferno act 1 and act 2. blizz said the game was about co-op and fun. they lied. it's about grinding by yourself. they said it's about variety and playing how you want to play. they lied. they keep adding enrage timers to everything. it's about farming elites and dps. they said it's about story and they wanted you to play through the game and not just be forced to farm. then why nerf champions and quests rewards? they nerfed all the variety, fun, and open worldness out of the game. all thats left is farming elites by yourself so you can have gear with bigger numbers to tackle the ridiculous damage in inferno act 2+.
I believe he asked where you were, not for your opinion on the game
Alert, rabid fanboy spotted
Yet here we are, on a fan site? very observant you are

Lots of folks are frustrated with the lack of social in-game. Most are playing solo....as am I.
That's nothing new though. Strangers in the Diablo universe have always been disappointing to play with. You'll enter a game and be like, "Hey guys!"
And if you're lucky someone might, might say, "No talking."
Except they'd go, "no tlkng"
True...
Another aspect to keep in mind; In order to play a pub game with 3-4 people, you need a high-end vid card or else you get an extremely choppy performance, almost unbearable, even with minimum settings. I'm thinking many folks thought they could squeak by on a low-end card and were greeted with disappointment. It still plays, but it's really hard to manage.
You can play by yourself, or even with another person, any more than that and a low-end card shits it's pants.
Easiest way to get people to play with is to create a game and open it to public. If nobody joins start a different quest. I only play in groups. Otherwise my poor ass can't grind act 1 inferno at a decent rate. I can do a full run of act 1 in 30-40 minutes with a full group as long as we have one person with decent tanking gear.
It's funny how everyone quitting. I have 4 friends who play and are still grinding away like myself. Although I dont have 300 hours played. On a fun note, I found 2 Legendary's over the last two days!!! Lucky me, feels good to see that brown color pop up.
I almost never play public, my friends list is stacked, there is always a run or progression push going on, I occasionally play solo now, but 90% of the time is 3-4 player madness.
Actually, I play often with several people from this very forum!

Just got home from camping... I'd be on playing but i figure i should be trying to do some at home CE. Gotta keep your skills up in a competitive work environment.
And yet it is freaking awesome so much better than HoN and LoL (/flameproof-coat on). The graphics, the hero quotes ("now that was a failboat!"... "son of a..!!!"), the functionality.
It should alleviate my PvP needs until the patch comes.

Ditto. I've not played one public game. But I'm still definitely playing, and I have a ton of friends who are doing the same.

Before I would see in the 10-20 thousand on and recently it has been in the 2000 range.
I like playing co-op.

The same folks that want to perpetuate this false narrative that nobody likes the game.
