This will presumably make up for the inherent inefficiency of multiple players not being able to get their acts together.  From technical designer Wyatt Cheng&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/us.battle.net\/d3\/en\/blog\/9382478\/developer-journal-multiplayer-improvements-4-2-2013\">developer journal entry<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We&#8217;re still working on the details of what that buff is going to be, but at the moment we&#8217;re looking at 10% more XP per extra player in the game for a maximum bonus of 30% more XP in a 4-player game. This bonus will be multiplicative with MP bonuses. For example: suppose you are playing on MP10 with an XP bonus in Inferno of 510%. This means a monster is worth 610% of its normal XP (510% more). If you are playing in a 4-player game the monster will be worth 793% as much XP as normal. On top of this, you will also earn a flat 10% Gold Find and 10% Magic Find for each additional player in the game, and this bonus can exceed the 300% Gold Find and Magic Find caps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, when I&#8217;ve found something worth attacking, folks will know even though they&#8217;re back in town breaking down their blues with Haedrig.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Starting in 1.0.8, when a player deals damage to or takes damage from an Elite pack or Treasure Goblin for the first time, a notification will be sent out to the entire party to let your teammates know what you&#8217;ve found. This will be accompanied by a &#8220;combat&#8221; icon on the mini-map so other players in your group can locate those enemies. On top of that, we&#8217;re also going to put a combat icon over your banner in town. This way, players who are in town will know that you&#8217;re fighting an Elite pack or Treasure Goblin and be able to quickly determine whose banner to take to get right into the action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-20286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games","tag-diablo-iii"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
