you have to own the dlc for coop?!

[Snootboop]

i wanted to buy the dlc but i only play this game with my friends and they won't buy it i really wish i could still use the dlc if i purchased it but i just don't see a point with these restrictions

[Bosselasse]

I feel the same. Bought both of the premium DLCs not long ago and i really enjoy them. But in my opinion i feel like considering the high price you actually pay i should be able to host a muliplayer with the DLCs in it without all of my friends having to buy them aswell. Taking in consideration that the farming simulator games have always been more of a Co-op/multiplayer game for many players and that the DLCs are almost the same price as the base game i feel like this is a feature that should be a fact. As an example i play a lot of snowrunner and i really like the way they build that game. In that game the host of the server have to own the DLCs and thats it. Anyone can join and enjoy the DLCs as the like without the need to buy them. Would be really nice if Giant could consider changing this or the overall prices of the DLCs. I just think that would be a better way of giving back to the people.

Yes everyone has to have the same DLC to play together.

I calculated it. Using how many active players the game have per month and the amount of servers currently open and how many players those servers generally have etc etc etc. Im not going into detail because that would take more then i care to write about it.

Just how did you calculate how many players the game has per month? It not just on Steam lot of players buy from Giants website and there is no tracking for those plus you have the console version, how did you track those players.

Lot of player are solo players, me included.

I would think there'd be way more solo players. We know the game sold at least 3 million copies.

So no legitimate, verifiable, reliable source. I'm guessing you play mostly multiplayer.

I wish all the DLC were like the single vehicle DLC's such as the old volvo wheel loader or the new Farmall DLC where if the host owns it everyone gets to use it. I only have one friend who owns all the DLC's so the only time I get to use them in multiplayer is when I play with him. The host of the multiplayer game that I play on the most doesn't use any DLC's on his multiplayer even though he owns some because he wants the maximum amount of players to be able to join his game.

If your looking for straight facts directly from giant this is not your go to page. I just shared my thoughts on the developers way of doing the DLCs multiplayer function. I found most of the info on player stats on the internet. Of course i can't say that its an 100% trustworthy fact but i don't see why that matters. I mean is facts in a small steam forum really that important to you that you have to start a discussion on it? But if it upsets so many of you i will change the post so it doesn't say (most users). So i would really appreciate if the people that started discussing my fact instead of what this thread really is would stop it. And yes i play mostly multiplayer. I have played over 1500 hours since farming 15. 70% of those hours are multiplayer.
