Lobby - Is there a way to prevent the default difficult setting to change to Normal?

Hi

More then once I perceived that I was farming Normal game instead of a Hell game, and realized that this happened beacuse I created a previous game with my L1 Mule (which does not have access to Hell) and the Game changed the default difficult settings to Normal for all characters

Is there a way to prevent it?
(make the default difficult settings always the highest possible for each character?)

you can set the default per character iirc

How can we set that?

The default behavior actually saves the last difficult settings used when you enter on lobby
- Create a a Hell L92 game
- Enter on lobby with the same char, difficult settings is at Hell (OK)
- Enter on lobby with a L1 char, difficult settings is at Normal (OK - he don't have acesse to hell) and don't create or join a game...(just enter and exit lobby)
- Enter on lobby with my L92 char, difficult settings keeps at Normal

I think that what "caught me off guard" is that before I explicitly tested today, I thought the difficult settings was only saved when you created a game... and in fact it is saved whey you just enter the lobby...
I will pay more attention in the future...

Strangely enough... the "Terrorized" option do not have the same behavior (enter with the L92 char it is enabled, enter with the L1 char it is disabled, enter with the L92 char again... it continues enabled)

Yeah the UX is pretty bad all around.
Like you I would like the setting saved per character. Only solution would be a mod that breaks terms of service by injecting code into the game.

I don't play much online but once I found myself in Nightmare instead of Hell. I was surprised and pleased of the damage I was inflicting on mobs, only after some time to realize I was in a lower difficulty

really embarrassed to ask, where in the settings is this?

hey, sorry double checked and I was wrong, I was refering to the settings cog bellow the Play button, but you cannot set difficulty there :/
