Wait what!

Im new here, ive been hearing about something like /p8 or something, im guessing that u can ajust how many players u want in your game? Is /p1-8 the correct command to do that?

It's not how many players you want to join, its to simulate how many players are in a single players game to increase your drop chances..

To make it work you press enter to bring up the messaging prompt then type /players X X being 1-6

 

[Zavior]

Its /players 1-8
/p8 is hardest, but most rewarding in items / exp.
/players 3 is common for Mephisto / Baal, since it will disable their nodrop.

Its your choice.

It is /players x on 1.10, on the 1.9 patch, drop the forward slash.

It is /players x on 1.10, on the 1.9 patch, drop the forward slash.

Also, in v1.09 the playersX command went to 64. In v1.10 the game defaults to 8 if you put in anything higher than 8.

Yea, just press enter, /players 8 and then enter again and voila. Nothing happens so you wont know if it worked until you face your first monster

 

[DX-Crawler]

Actually it says players set to X after you typed it, in 1.10

In v1.09 and earlier, you get no message or other indication. I believe (I might be mistaken) that it just appears as regular text, spoken by your character, like:

ImmortalBlood: players 8
​

In v1.10, you get a confirmation message:

ImmortalBlood: players set to 8
​

Note that for versions before 1.10, the command is players x or playersx, and in v1.10, it is /players x or /playersx. Note the / before the command. This also applies to other commands, like /fps, which was just fps before v1.10. Another thing to remember is it will only affect monsters which have not yet been spawned. Stuff spawns somewhat off-screen (I'm not sure how far off, but it's not too far), so if you know you're coming to an area with tough monsters, and you want to lower the /players setting, do it well before you get there.

If you're playing in Normal, though, you should be able to do the whole game (Ancients and Act bosses too, if you have a bit of patience) on /players8. One of the best things about this for characters dependant on life/mana leech is that you can leech more from tougher monsters, as the most you can leech is your leech % of its life. Thus, with 5% leech, if you do 100 damage to a 20-life monster, you get 1 point back, not 5. Most melee characters still kill in three hits or less in Normal on /players8, so the added leech is really nice. For spellcasters, it's a bit tougher, as it means you need to expend more mana to kill everything, but now that you can buy mana potions, this is nothing more than a mild annoyance.
