Private Servers?

[Tutuff]

will co-op be official servers, player hosted, private servers?

From Official FaQ.

You can invite up to 7 friends to play, or jump into a game with a public host. Once the host has left the game, the person with the determined next-best connection will become the new host.

So player hosted sessions, not servers.

Heya! Check our FAQ - it has been updated with some new info. But our servers are indeed player hosted.

So if a player hosts a game and later that day or the next when the host isn't online do the other players still get to play or is that server closed until the host returns?

"once your are in a drop, you can host the session if migrated to you
So if the true host is offline. You can still go in and play, and you are the host" - Rocket

ya i'm not seeing how this going to work well Lol imagine playing with 2 of your freinds for a few hours you build your bases ect then log out for the day, then you all end up playing by yourself for a bit because you all can't play at the same time then next time you all want to play together again i'm assuming it will just use the hosts map (cause trying to merge all players maps would be dumb) so your friends progress was for nothihng.... This is why you should always use proper servers so people can play on there own if they want or join in the group without the risk of losing everything you built

Read the FAQ. It explains how sessions work and how the game and sessions are saved on their back end servers.

i have read it Lol still doesn't solve the problem i was talking about what that info does bring up is another problem in itself if they shutdown their servers your SOL with anything useless game you can't play in your library this is why all games should be private/local servers so when they do shutdown (not if WHEN they do cause they will sooner or later) you can just host your own server for when you and your friends want to play
