6 man groups currently get 3.5x currency drops. 100% for the first player and 50% for each subsequent player.

If I understand this correctly, A 6 man party will now get 7x currency drops.

This is broken and will break the economy. Please don't do this.

Wouldn’t a 6 man party in the current patch get like a 7.4 multiplier to currency? Since the more quant and the more currency items are multiplicative with each other?
It’s not a party buff it’s more of less a rework.

Pretty sure this is impossible to actually do, but I really hope larger parties consume more scarabs if this change is going live. You're just stupid to play solo in trade rn.

Merc gives 0.5 party play buff its an overall increase for everyone. aint it?? you can also have 2 self characters of your own at a time. Just gotta be a try hard xdd

Changed how additional party members scale the quantity and rarity of items the player finds.

We no longer increase Rarity per player in a party but we increase the number of Uniques specifically, this will result in the same number of Unique Items per party member as before.

so you are saying I should not play solo, but if I want to be solo, bot ?

you destroy economy for normal solo players


revert this change

RIP Trade league for 99% of players.....
