situation:

your friend is AFK and hosts a game. you join his game and do a lot of MF runs.
do you benefit from better and/or more drops?

The 2nd option is a bit confusing.
You need either a 3 player game to get more loot, or a 2 player game with both party members being in the same area and afaik close enough to each other (xp range).
So you actually just slow yourself down because you decrease your killspeed

oh shit. there is a type in option 2 :/

no, you'll get more xp. but for better loot you need a 3p game with 1 in the area OR 2p with 2 guys in the same area
this is really much what you just said
thx

every player increases the drop rate pool and exp gained.

thx

pls read:

Drops, however, are not the same. When you kill a monster in a multiplayer game, the game calculates a number to use as the nodrop exponent. This is not simply N.

It counts 1 for you, the killing player.
It counts 1 more for each player that is (a) partied with you and (b) within two screens of you.
It counts 0.5 for each other player, either unpartied or far away.
It rounds the final total down.

Also 3, 5 und 7?

ja genau, du willst immer 3p, 5p oder 7p games
oder halt 1p^^

Aber ein gesperrter Charakter wird weder auf p1 noch p3 Drops bekommen

soll ich dich schon als rip eintragen oder hast du noch hoffnung?
