There are tons of games running and the refresh button is not showing them. This feature should show random open games with every refresh, but it does not. If you push right after it becomes available again to refresh, the list will be exactly the same, in the same order. If you wait a bit more, 50% or more of the games remain hidden.
I have checked this with friends. We opened 12 different games and none of them was shown on screen after refreshing the list 6 times in a row.
Please fix this asap, this is a social game, trading is a big part of the game. Also mf runs are almost impossible to find. With the release version of the lobby you had tons of options to join cow, or baal, or chaos runs and you had to spend 10s tops to find one. Now you have to spend 2-3 minutes to find one. If you dont fix this fast, players will just leave the game really soon.

I can confirm this. Biggest issue in ladder-history for me (and i play D2 since >20 years).
It is a gamble whether you find a game e.g. Baalruns and if you find them, they are done for 15minutes.
Trade games are totally senseless. I made games for testing e.g. “Free shako” or “free items” or “offer BER n Rasha Amu” → normally 7 other players would join after 5seconds…
here i stay 30min lonely in the game, nobody came in.
No fun at the moment.

Still no fix for this. Game list is too short, many games never get listed.

Now I understand why I’m waiting so often for people to join my games.
You can’t even meet up with people from lobby chat, because guess what: it doesn’t work either.
This is pathetic.

I dont understand why this has not become a huge issue yet. It completely destroys any possibility for players to find random groups at any time to MF or level grind or even to just trade stuff ingame.
Its just ridiculous. There is another topic where players demand the “/players x” command option for multiplayer mode, and blizzard stated in an interview with some Streamer that this wont happen because it would undremine the multiplayer aspect of the game". And then they reduce the options to find ppl to play with ingame to equally zero. Amazing.

There is a new set of fixes on there way if you read the bulletins that should address the lobby issues
This has never worked fully, at any time in Diablo 2s history.
