This game truly is amazing isn't it, how many other games are there as old as D2/LOD that generate this type of conversation, passion. So many good games come and go but this game just seems to still be growing in some way.
I digress, I have just taken a new Amazon up to Act 2, lev 20. (just starting Act II). The game is definitely more difficult and for me has become aggravating on more than one occasion. Most of it is due to my inablility to survive for any length of time at /players 8. So, like mentioned above, I was constantly experimenting with different numbers, sometimes right back down to players 1. (I am still not certain if the increase/decrease in difficulty level is immediate I.E. as soon as you type players 4 for example, does it change?)
I can survive without much difficulty at players 1 and have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that if I want to continue playing, I'm going to stop fiddling with the numbers. Maybe the best way to look at this, in the Single Players game is that you don't need players 8 anymore with the increased difficulty.
I'm probably wrong, but the players 8 option is to provide the opportunity to make the game more challenging, and also to let you level up faster, especially at very high char levels.
Using the gear I have found, to this point I find it quite challenging in many areas, using players 1.
