so how does multiplayer work exactly?

[✪ Captain Slow]

i have never played the forest, but i liked dayz a lot.
all i know is that it is a survival game, but with a story.

but how does the MP work?
what is the main goal in MP, just surviving with friends or actually following the story with them?
how is my progress saved in MP? is it another „savegame“ than my singleplayer progress? what happens if i or one of my mate dies?
is there a server browser? who is the host of the game?
i do have so many question because i have no idea.

Yeah its coop more than a multiplayer as in you survive together, you progress story together, in the 1st game host saved the map and personal progress and then friends who joined would only save their personal progress as in when they save they only their own inventory, stats etc. If you died you could be revived and if you failed then he just dies and respawns unless you are doing permadeath. And it's not usually like a dedicated server but 1 guy hosts and you play together when everyone is online, in the 1st game also you could have multiple singleplayer and multiplayer saves

Main Goal of multiplayer is to survive and have fun but you can folllow the story too. Progress is saved by the host because it will probably use peer 2 peer servers again. If you die you will probably respawn somewhere. There probably will be a server browser like the last game. The host is probably the lobby creator.

Is the story progression is personal per player or server wide?
if I did some quest with a cutscene regarding the pufftons will my friend miss that entirely if he was not present with me?
