Description

Hi

I recently started to play lobby public games (mostly to be able to change characters when DClone spawn)
And I perceive that many time a lot of random people enter in the game and just stand still on town... for a long time sometimes... don't even send or respond to messages...

Why do people do this? I didn't get it...
It's is just to try to get "garbage" that I may end up dropping on the Ground?
I even thought it is because of that, but today when I asked a player if he need a set item that I dropped he just exit the game...

Can be used to make Runewords:

If you're making a public game for the purpose of killing D Clone then make it simple and use a simple password to keep unwanted visitors out. For example game name DC, pass D1.

Please post offer in item trade before adding me on Bnet, I'm in EST time zone (E Coast U.S)

But is it the reason to join strange people games?
("stole" their Dclone?)

Yes, it's quite common. I've made public trade games where D Clone makes a sudden unannounced entrance, and had people enter my game and get to him before I did. They usually choose the Arcane/Cellar 3 or
Frigid Highlands
way points for quick access.

You can always verify it before leaving the game to change your character. Just hit P (for Party), then click an eye-shaped button next to Password. Write it down just in case.

Nice tip ("tap P") to confirm your current game name and password 👍👊
(I was actually not able to confirm my game name before... not a joke)

FYI, you can rejoin a solo game (non-lobby) from the lobby. Like if you create a game from the player screen and then a dclone walks, you can leave the game and log back into it with a different character from the lobby.

Just do the same "P" (party) trick to get your password. For a solo game, the password and game name are identical. I retype the password into notepad, that way I can paste it into both game and password fields in the lobby.

Try it out in a game where there isn't a dclone so you get some practice. I used to do this all the time with uber runs.

All prices negotiable. BIN always wins. Americas (Pacific), but int'l trade times can be arranged.

i tried to look at a non lobby created game and the only info i can get is a game name showing lots of xxxxxxxxx and a pass, and if i type that info into join game, it do not work, just says the game is no longer avaible to join.. and i know it is open because i tested it with a friend joining my game to keeping it open, and i cant join it with that game name xxxxxxxxx, ill try using the password as game name as you mentioned

it works :)

I had a trade game last week and was searching for a war shrike . I think i was joined by more than 50 people in less than 20 Minutes. Sometimes it was the same person. Everyone was looking for the DClone in
Frigid Highlands
or palast cellar. In the end no trades and douzend of no responses on my "hi"...my nerves...

This really works :-)

just put your
Game1015798506
on "game name" and password"

But I see no way to copy the text... you have to manually write it on a file to copy/paste... (so double check before exiting the game ;-) )

At first I though the random people entered into games to do some good... 😝😓😝😓

But I think I was fooled by my first public games, where some random people just entered dropped a lot of stuff on the Ground and left (on this episode I gained
Immortal King's Detail
,
Immortal King's Forge
,
Frostburn
and Ethereal
The Tannr Gorerod
)
But it happened only once...

You can rejoin a private game, because I've done it, but the effort required to do it is more irritation than another 14/10/8 anni is worth. :D

It's far easier to make a public game with a 2 letter name, 2 letter/2 number password where it takes only seconds to get back into a game. This is something that everyone who runs Ubers does as a precaution.
