How to Join Up with Friends for Co-op Demon Slaying in Diablo Immortal
As a passionate Diablo gamer and content creator, one of my favorite parts of Immortal is adventuring with friends. Playing together unlocks new build opportunities through class synergy, makes challenging content like dungeons and raids feel epic, and is simply more fun than going solo!
But before you can begin laying waste to demons with your best gaming pals, you first need to join a party with them. Here‘s a comprehensive guide to partying up in Diablo Immortal across platforms.
Step 1: Get On the Same Server
Diablo Immortal uses a massively multiplayer online (MMO) style server infrastructure. This means players are placed onto individual shards that cannot play cross-server. Before inviting friends, first confirm everyone has a character on the same regional server.
You can check your server by clicking your profile icon then looking under your battle tag. If you need to reroll on a new server to match friends, just keep this in mind when making your new hardcore barbarian!
Step 2: Use the Convenient Party Finder
Once on the same server, inviting friends is simple with the Party Finder. Access it by clicking the icon next to your social button and profile icon on the main menu.
This handy gathering hub lists open parties recruiting members or lets you instantly create your own. With creative naming like "LFM DPS Craters of Frozen Blood," it takes no time to get a qualified group together.
Step 3: Directly Send Those Party Invites
You can also invite friends directly once they are on your in-game friends list. The social menu accessible from your profile icon shows friends online and lets you send invites to them via a notification.
Up to four total players can join up in a party through invites. Larger groups can still play together through raid teams or clans which we‘ll get into shortly!
Sync Up for Campaign and Dungeon Runs
Partying allows you to take on two major types of PvE content in tandem with your mates:
Campaign – The main storyline and open world activities. Knock out chapters, clear side zones like the Library, or take down overworld bosses together!
Dungeons – Instanced challenges requiring teamwork. These range from short Cellar runs to longer Primal dungeons. Sync quest progress to play them together!
Only the party leader needs to have quests, waypoints, or dungeon entries unlocked for the group to access them. This gives lower level players a boost by running content above their progression.
Clan Up for Endgame Domination
Once all characters in your squad hit level 30, you become eligible to join an in-game clan. Having an active clan takes the coordination and effort out of gathering online friends. Fellow clan members also provide support like free item upgrades.
With built-in chat and easy joining from your profile, a focused endgame clan means you always have raid teams and warband party members at the ready!
Solo vs Group Play Benefits
Playing solo content allows you to go at your own pace, while coordinating with others brings key advantages:
| Solo | Group Play |
|---|---|
| No competing loot | Class synergy buffs |
| Freedom to explore | Group combos like pulls and freeze chains |
| Self-found upgrades | Shared magic find to boost legendary drops |
| No competing objectives | Revives to avoid death and failure |
The Importance of Balanced Party Roles
While Diablo Immortal offers flexible builds, most party content plays smoothest with a balanced setup covering key roles:
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Tank | Grab threat, absorb damage |
| Support | Healing, buffs, crowd control |
| DPS | Deal maximum damage |
I‘ve found success running with one tank like Barbarian, Crusader or even Necromancer, plus Monk or DH support, rounding out DPS with heavy-hitting Wizard and Demon Hunter builds.
Finding Your Clan Home
As a passionate gamer, putting in the work to locate an active, focused clan that matches your playstyle pays dividends. I spent over two weeks playing solo while observing various clans to find one where I really felt at home.
Here are the key traits I looked for:
✔️ North American playtimes matching mine
✔️ Focus on dungeon and raid endgame over PvP
✔️ Culture of elite gamers pushing to optimize
Don‘t just join the first random clan that accepts you – holding out a bit means you have reliable allies for the long haul!
So in summary, playing Diablo Immortal cooperatively allows you to melt elite packs and depression faster than solo. Simply confirm you and your friends have characters on the same regional server. Then use the handy built-in Party Finder or direct invites to gather a squad, join up with clan-mates, and begin traversing Sanctuary together!
