CoOp Lies. A message to devs (Though they likely won't see this)

[Power]

Q. Will Lords of the Fallen have co-op?
A. Yes, you will be able to play the entire game with your companion of choice, in seamless co-op.

From your FAQ. Your ♥♥♥♥ is not "Seamless". If loot and story is not shared then it is not seamless. If friends have to be re summoned it IS NOT seamless.

How do you develop a game like this. In a world where the seamless coop Mod for elden ring clearly exists and does everything right. Then still manage to f up the seamless coop part? What is wrong you?

Refunding your trash just for you lies. So annoyed right now -_-.

Playing through Elden Ring seamlessly with my fiance was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've had. Was pretty hyped to hear this had "seamless" co-op but clearly it doesn't. Hoping a modder fixes this. It's a shame Souls-like games don't like co-op, I guess we just have to mainly stick to Monster Hunter.

agred, as long as the loot is shared fully and pickups and interactions.

I bought this game on Friday to play Crossplay, haven't even left the first bonfire yet :)
Not got to play the game because they disabled Crossplay -.-

This is exactly what we want. Everyday I see these patch notes coming out but its such a disappointment not getting to see any of those co-op changes..

You may have misread the thread here. This is not about difficulty, this is about having to play the game on 2 separate saves because player 2 doesn't get the loot.

Git gud at reading.

I am sorry but everyone here calling the game trash or wanting to refund it for such a small thing are stupid.... Ok progress isn't shared but guess what that's actually really cool because if you want to be the main character too or to see yourself in the cutscene then you can instead of having to create a new character. You can't pick up item on the ground or chest ok but again doesn't matter you can loot enemies and all of the players get the EXACT same loots and souls... This coop is very good and all of you saying "You don't get loot, you'll get to the end of the game with no loot as the guest etc etc" then your friend is an A S S H O L E for never switching. My wife and I play together and we are both so well equiped and upgraded we do a couple region for me then for her it's that simple... + You are all rage blinded because you keep saying "loot loot loot" but you can legit buy stuff from the merchants or farm ennemies.... Overhall I can understand you would prefer progress to be shared so you don't have to switch like in Remnant 2 but remember in Remnant 2 your own world wouldn't progress neither... You guys are all just blind haters who hates game just for that... Elden ring multiplayer is ♥♥♥♥ and from soft has been doing the same ♥♥♥♥ for 15+ years and no one says anything...

I mean it's not wrong you just don't have shared progression. That's how all of these games work just summon your friend to your world and run through it again together, but quicker!

[TheDearBlueJay]

The lack of good co-op is the reason me and my hubby won't be purchasing it for the time being

[cheshire.panther]

We have a group of 3 ppl all skipping this game because it has no proper coop. Devs must be high.

do you guys know what a seam is? like the seam in your pants where two parts are sewn together? A break in the gameplay, a seam in the gameplay. The co-op has no breaks or seams. You might not like how key items are not shared - but thats irrelevant to if the game has seamless co-op.

Sorry but you not liking a feature in the game has nothing to do with your attempt to redefine seamless. The co-op is seamless. Other player can stay with you from start until literal end of the game.

They also don't lose any vigor on death so they will likely stay similar power to you as they can buy gear and upgrade weapons and level their character as well the whole time compared to how much vigor the host will lose from deaths. Also co-op partners get additional currency from assisting, as well as loot from all the sub-bosses. Also all normal monster drops.

However, none of that matters. Even if all you did was float around as a spirit and zap enemies, it would still be seamless. Because a seam is a break. and it has none. Thats just words. You can't redefine seamless just because you dont like other things about the game lol.

You know what people mean. They used vague terminology and made gameplay appear as if everything is shared. How hard is it to say, "Items and story progress will not be shared"? Also, seamless can be defined as "having no awkward transitions, interruptions, or indications of disparity" and disparity is defined as "the condition or fact of being unequal, as in age, rank, or degree; difference". I think you can say there are some major differences between the host and the other player...

Well, to be fair, I got grouped up with a random who clearly advanced further than I did by having a shortcut open. If you got what you wanted, I could easily skip ahead in the level, which is not what these games are about. If they did what you guys are asking, they'd have to have a checkpoint system linked up with multiplayer so people can't just cheat ahead.

Aside from that though, I agree. If you can constantly play with others, you should be able to progress with them. It doesn't make any sense to go back 5 or 6 hours to do the same stuff over again.

Its a co-op or SP game. Its not a competitive shooter or fighting game. Who cares if someone "cheats" through the game? You can easily save edit any of these type games, elden ring, dark souls, etc. You could even cheese a million levels in bloodborne on the PS4.

If someone cheeses or cheats in a SP game the only person it effects is them.

I never have understood the gatekeeping mentality of some gamers. I've noticed its primarily the younger gamers who think like this though. They have grown up with "live service" games, MMO's, and MP games with locked servers.

Us older gamers grew up playing SP games or MP games where the server was either self hosted or hosted by another gamer so you could have all types of servers with a million different settings (BF servers with no vehicles, BF servers with tons of vehicles, CS servers with respawns or shorter timers, etc etc).

lmfao who cares about having shared progress, they never said it had that just said seamless which it is cause you can go thru the WHOLE GAME(minus very start) with someone else without having to summon over and over

[Ægirson]

Thanks for this. Saved me from wasting my time.
