In D3 there is no more party system, since the hostility option has been removed. (There will be dueling and [[PvP]] in special games for that purpose, but it's not going to be an option in regular, [[PvM]] games.) The D3 Team found that it was pointless to have a additional party system menu with invitations and joining required, so they simply removed that option. All players in the same PvM game in D3 are in the same party, by default.
==In-Game Notifications==
Jay Wilson spoke about the various in-game notifications and conveniences in an interview from Blizzcon, 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2010-interview-jay-wilson-diablo-esp/]
<blue>We’ve tried to put a lot of hints in, for cooperative play, so other players notice if you stop moving. Especially if you open up a skill page or your inventory, we put an icon that displays over your character’s head and on your portrait so the other players will see it and know that you’re busy. That you’re doing something. ...As developers, we’re looking at ways to make it easier for characters to communicate and we’re looking to put more option in for that. After all, the game knows if a player is looking at their skill page, so why don’t we just provide some sort of in-game notification to other players? So the players in the game don’t have to wonder why someone in the game isn’t keeping up. When you know the other player is doing something specific, you’re a little more patient.</blue>
