The Diablo series has always been better with friends, with its compulsive demon-clicking providing a great, grotesque backdrop to your hangout without being too taxing to hold a conversation over. But what if your friends just don’t have the time to turn the hordes of hell into fountains of goo at a moment’s notice? Until now, Diablo 4 players were pretty much out of luck in that scenario, but two new features coming with the Vessel of Hatred expansion will make it easier to find strangers to play with, or do away with other humans altogether and team up with NPCs who don’t have busy schedules to attend to instead.
