Like the title say, simple and straight forward.
I’ll start with peoples inspecting you.
I found very rude during those last days that a lot of players just come in your room, inspect you, and if you have a build based off rare MI’s with good prefixs and suffixs, they insta ask you if you ‘‘Cheated’’ your gear. In all honesty it is very annoying and it happened more then once lately to me. They join my session, come near me just to inspect me and then they do that. I find it highly unrespectful, since almost everyone of them assume you didn’t play the game while i have a wholesome 3000 hours on GD. It would help a lot into avoiding those kind of problems, also because if they really have this obsession about others players gear in multiplayer, they can play in single player, And No, don’t tell me that the problem could be fixed with me playing single player, cause i’m not the obsessed one about assuming things about others players, i don’t even inspect peoples online and also, if i open a public room, it means i want to play with others, while those kind of peoples just come there and if they see anything for which you require time to farm, they just instantly doubt you, which is BAD. If they are obsessed to that point, the option to play single player is always there instead of bothering peoples in theyr own rooms online(or in others peoples rooms as well).
Now about password rooms.
Grim Dawn doesn’t have many players, or better said, the peoples making lobbies without passwords are very low and not always you find a room focused about something you might be interested to join for. Meanwhile the ammount of rooms with passwords are really high and i don’t see any reason for that. First of all because it hit badly peoples who does look for peoples to play with and secondarily because GD does have a local adhoc option, meaning that if peoples really want to organize a private room, they can through many programs like hamachi or similar. At least make it so that public rooms can be joined by everyone since it’s not even a matter of peoples making rooms with passwords because they have a full team…the majority of those rooms have 1 or 2 players at best in them with very few of them having like 3 players. Never once saw a password room with 4 players in them.
I know those kind of suggestions usually are taken badly from peoples, so i do not expect much but those things really are annoying to see in a game that does offer the possibility to play multiplayer. Peoples often refer to GD as a single player based game, but i do not agree, not even a bit to that. The possibility to join others players, have more loot dropping, searching for loot together, IS THERE, and this just kills the purpose of it being there. Finding gears that each others looking for would be much much easier since you can trade to your companion of adventures and looting something he/she looking for and makes the game way less stressful when it comes to find that legendary or that MI that isn’t dropping for days eventually.
