Diablo Immortal’s recent team update for Season 3 is the first in a series of planned improvements to the RPG party system. However, some players express that the system is fundamentally flawed and should be replaced with a built-in clan grouping feature to allow for bonuses when teaming up with other members of the Diablo Immortal clan.
The Diablo Immortal Season 3 update includes a change to the team system, allowing players to see if their team members are online and what they are currently doing in-game from the team menu. Blizzard says it’s a step toward “improving the experience because we want squads to be a fun way to play with other players.”
While a Diablo Immortal clan can contain up to 150 players per group, teams are made up of small, permanent groups of up to eight players who receive bonuses for performing certain content together. Units are required for certain specific actions, but their semi-permanent nature is frustrating for some players in the game.
Blizzard says that battle squads are for groups that play together regularly, meaning the group stays together unless the leader manually loads players to make room for others. However, this means that players who are not always online at the same time as others may find themselves in a situation where they will be forced to leave their team in search of another group to play each time they come online.
Since this latest change, several threads have appeared on the game’s subreddit, either highlighting the system or asking Blizzard to remove it in favor of something else. The most requested alternative is to make group actions applicable to groups of up to eight players belonging to the same clan. The post with the most votes at the time of writing suggests that Battle Squads may remain “entirely optional for players from different clans, rather than a requirement to unlock associated bonuses.”
One of the most common complaints from players is that the current team system forces them to play at certain times or to follow the level and progress of the team. Others say they have to constantly kick out inactive players and invite new ones to take their place, in which case a more temporary match system will suffice. It’s possible, of course, that Blizzard plans to adapt units in this way, but we won’t know for sure until they announce their future changes.
In addition to making it easier to group up, some players say that using a clan-level squad camp system to provide a shared hideout and meeting point for the entire clan would be a really cool feature. Currently, the only notable clan activity is the Banishing Rite, which allows clans to compete for the chance to become an immortal faction in the realm.
Among the most common team actions are Helliquary raids, the third of which, Gorgothra the Claimer, made its way into fantasy play this week.
