Generally, it is an advantage to group up as party with friends on characters with similar power levels. The life and damage done by monsters in the Open World does not scale with the amount of players. However the life and damage done by Monsters in Dungeons (instances with a maximum of 4 players) scales up with the number of party members.
Diablo 4 Gold, Items, Boosting
Whether you’re prone to partying up or an independent adventurer, Diablo IV will have a way for you to play.
When it comes to the Campaign, you’ll be able to play through the entire story at your own pace or alongside friends, with progress syncing up to the party leader so there’s no question about what’s been done or what’s next on the checklist.
While most of the world is socially open, certain, smaller parts of each region are campaign specific. Once the campaign objectives have been completed, those areas will also dynamically open to other players. This means you might see another party of adventurers pass you by or you could organically stumble into an event or World Boss other players are already battling. You won’t need to party up to enjoy these activities; whether you decide to join the fray or continue your own journey, that decision remains yours.
You can directly group up with your Battle.net friends by hovering their name and either inviting them to your party or requesting to join their party. If you meet a player in the vast Open World, follow these steps:
If a party member dies they turn into a gravestone and have 2 options:
There is no known cap on how often players can be revived.
Loot is personal and has a high chance to be specific to your character, via the Smart Loot system. Don’t worry, no one can steal your Legendaries. After picking up the loot however, you can then trade or gift it to other party members or players. No loot is bound to a specific party. Here is an overview of items that can and Cannot be Traded

There seems to be no Magic Find bonus or additional loots drop while in a party. However if you are in the same zone as your party members you also get rewards and items from monster that they kill.
When a monster dies in Diablo 4 its level is compared to your level and you are rewarded a certain amount of experience. This does not change in parties. No matter if you or your allies kill a monster, you always get the experience suited to your level and the monster’s level.
In parties experience is gained zone wide, so even if your allies kill a monster off-screen you are still getting the experience. Due to this mechanic it can be very beneficial to split farm within the same zone in the Open World.
On top of that there is a group buff similar to Strength in Numbers from Diablo 3. If players are close to one another you gain bonus experience. Here are the base mechanics:
As of now there are no automated group finder tools or systems in the game, however players have a variety of options:
You might know a few people from other Blizzard games. Use your battle.net friend list to group up!
Next to your friend list there is also a local player system in Diablo 4 allowing you to connect with players around you.
There are different in-game chats that can be used.
The Clan System in Diablo 4 is another great tool to connect with your friends and organize groups.
There are many more options out there. We have a dedicated Diablo 4 Channel in our Discord that also includes a LFG channel on launch. Stay tuned!
