Is Diablo IV solo player friendly?

[Mr Washee Washee]

I don't have friend that play this game and I never play any Diablo before. Is this game solo player friendly? Do I need to join Discord for any Raid? or are there any content that is not playable as solo?

I've been playing solo when my friends are not on.
It's fine to run solo. Just need more backup if you plan on doing crazy events/dungeons.

Yes, you can play it to level 100 and "beyond" completely solo, the only thing you might have trouble with is the world boss since most of the time another player is nearby. The game is always online though, so you might encounter randoms in areas.

You can solo it all, I haven't been in a clan and I've played in 4 full seasons.

Thank you guys ~

I just got the game a few days ago and it seems fine solo. Occasionally I see other players in the world. Some events you can cooperate with other players without having to explicitly join a group or anything.

The game is changing. Some Content will require parties, a party finder is being added.

The first play through of the story is stupidly easy, so unfortunately you apparently have to beat the game at least once to find any degree of difficulty in the game which is a long wait and a lot of running around to get to a challenge or fun.

I just finished playing the game solo as a necromancer and I beat the game at a jog and the last third of the bosses often died before they finished their opening talking at the start of the battle because my minions just melted them in seconds.

So it's definitely solo-able, I guess you kind of need to expect your fun to come after you beat the game the first time.

He's that desperate for attention.

For now the game can be done completely solo for the most part. The only exception is World bosses really.

This is changing however as soon as Vessel of Hatred comes out, they are adding an exclusive party only dungeon area. You will not be able to solo that at all and it just so happens to be their upcoming and brand end game content.

I have no Friends playing, and I dont Trust randoms.... I solo everything fine, I up the difficulty because the game is too easy otherwise

The thing is.. you can't play solo.. you think you are solo, but you are not.. there are always other players around, and lag will be your best friend.

[Das_P0m]

True that. It's my first game ruined by always online mode and it makes sense at all.
Several times I got kicked out due to a lost connection.
The line was totally ok but the connection was lost.
Quite frustrating on a single player game.

Till the end of season it's solo player friendly, absolutely and always has been.
In season 6, there will be some content that will be more party orientated, but prolly it means that if one peep messes up, they're dead, while you can still solo it.

Only for you.
