Multiplayer Needs Penalty Options for Dying ASAP

[220g Protein]

I was having fun until I realized dying is meaningless and therefor there is no actual danger in this survival game.

Playing co-op on hard, it is fairly easy, but caves especially can still get you killed. We wiped for the first time 2 weeks into the playthrough, and then we realized you just respawn 2 minutes away with all your loot.

When your party wipes in multiplayer it should be GAME OVER, and you must reload your last save.

I'm with you on that.
The only way for now is to be honest and just start from scratch after you died.

yeah our new oath is if we both die we close the game and rehost so it goes back to our last save, but it is a hassle, takes me out of the game, and it really should be part of the core system.

I usually save hardcore mode for a second playthrough, but they shld add that as an option for sure. One mode where it deletes your save, another mode called 'classic' mode where you respawn at the helicopter crash with nothing, but game state remains the same and your items are in your backpack where you died.

They should make a "Hardcore" game mode. Kinda like Diablo. You die...game over. Start over.

They didnt care enough to do this with the first one. Doubt they will give a crap with this one.

Really, this game is super casual. Just keep loading the savegame over and over and all the supply boxes are full every time.
There is alot wrong from a challenge standpoint.

Agreed. There seems to be no incentive to not play reckless. Doesn't feel like a survival get yet.

It is a huge shame, honestly the difficulty is there if you turn all the hardest settings on, but the fact that dying is meaningless invalidates all of that difficulty instantly.

All the danger has been sucked out of the game, it's a shame because even though it's light on content, what is here is pretty good.

this is sadly correct.

i cannot even imagine HOW easy multiplayer must be currently. singleplayer on hard was already a joke. any experienced the forest player will eat this game for breakfast currently.

i am about to try a custom playtrough with ALL setttings cracked to MAX aside animal spawns which is set to low. will see how that goes but given the core design issues this game currently has i just dont see how they can make this game harder currently.

i mean even hard survival in the first game wasnt very hard if you know what youre doing. all the threads about people crying about difficulty and too many enemies are all players who DO NOT KNOW what theyre doing yet. but they start to make silly demands already.

once you cater to the mainstream you lose. period. and this game clearly does....sigh. another game falls to the overcasulization market trap.

maybe theyll add new modes down the line.

I dont even need a super hard game, it's just a shame that even in the rare instance that you die, there is no penalty. We made it to day 14 without dying and finally died in a cave to a mutant.

We respawned IN the cave, with all our stuff. Holy ♥♥♥♥ what a bad decision game design wise...

Ironically it would be more efficient to just blitz the cave, never use healing items, and just respawn when you want full health again. That is horrific design.

given the ability to revive your allies would be sweet if all die it's a reload

The Boyz and I, Had to drop the game after playing with friends for 8 hours due to how easy the game is. 😕

Its a shame that every suggestion here will be ignored anyway. In charge of this forum is only one person, and he only answers bug reports.

You want to play "perma death" then do it. You don't need a game app to do that. Just delete the game and start over. Simple.

Are you serious?
"Just delete the game and start over." is just a form of roleplaying/made up challange. It has nothing to do with actual gameplay mechanics.

I play all my games with the hardest setting and the game isn't really that hard. If you start a new game with the hardest settings don't forget to play on short days. this one setting changes the game the most of any setting. still not that hard but is the hardest i've found.
