There is currently a known issue affecting public games in which players are either not able to enter a public game or will not be able to successfully have others join their own public game.
The current workaround is to start a game on the final quest (Reign of the Black King). Talk to Cain to trigger the quest. Immediatly after Cain's dialogue and the quest is triggered leave the game and then try to join a public game. It should work then.
and even then good luck getting more than 1 other person in your group (not counting friends). Its rather sad as I like playing with 3 other people.
Yeah
