While exploring the forums online, I opened up some public multi player games in adventure mode. Playing with others offers some significant advantages, but it also impacts gameplay in a few noteworthy ways.
When you’re in a party, you can see the health and current status of your party members in their portraits at the top of your screen. If you’d like to get right into the action with them, you can teleport instantly to the current location of your party members by selecting their banners in town. Finally, you can trade items with other players. This is done by right-clicking on their portraits and choosing "Trade," which will bring up a trading window that will allow you to exchange items.
"Loot" in groups is individualized: each player finds their own personal items and gold on the corpses of slain foes or inside chests. It's impossible to steal items another player finds.
Though you can form a party with up to three other players (for a total of four players), you can’t bring your followers along when you’re in a group with other people, no matter the size of the party.
Most importantly, more players in a party also means stronger foes. With each addition to your party, the legions of the Burning Hells will grow more powerful. Although you have the might of several heroes at your side, its important to find that enemies defeated easily in the past may require additional effort when playing in a group.
While enemies grow in power with each additional party member that battles nearby, the rewards heroes receive from working together to defeat these foes also increases. In addition to bonus chance to find magical items and bonus gold received, also receive bonus experience. This experience bonus is multiplicative with difficulty bonuses, so playing multiplayer at higher difficulty levels yields even greater rewards.
