Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred will introduce a party finder to complement the new co-op endgame activity

Following the news that Blizzard would introduce a brand-new co-op PvE experience as part of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, the community’s reaction was predictably apprehensive. Most worried that the game’s lack of social features would make this activity a chore for solo players, especially since finding other people to play with is nigh impossible. Recently, however, the dev team revealed they’ll be bringing in a party finder feature to the Diablo 4 expansion to make finding a group much easier.

According to a recent developer blog post, Blizzard announced that the upcoming Party Finder will arrive as part of Vessel of Hatred. “Party Finder gives you the ability to list the type of party you’re looking for, set what game type or activity you’d like to run, where you’d like to play, and add preferences for both casual and completionist players alike,” the post added.

“You can use Party Finder to list or find a party for multiple activities within Sanctuary: from slaying through Nightmare Dungeons, selecting Wings to complete in the Dark Citadel, finding other players to share Materials to summon Endgame bosses, to completing your Codex of Power,” it continued. “Party Finder can be accessed in a variety of ways, with quick access via the map, in-game menu, or through a pre-set action on your emote wheel.”

As someone who has had to look for groups through the in-game trade chat begrudgingly, this is a feature that I’m looking forward to trying out because it’ll undoubtedly make completing endgame activities infinitely easier. The upcoming Dark Citadel endgame activity, which many had initially complained about, should also be much more bearable now that there’s a way you can find a group to play with.

Of course, you’ll have to wait until the Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred release date to try out the new Party Finder.
