Thoughts on the coop experience ?

[HIT2MAN]

the main reason that i wanna get this game is to play coop with my friend.

what are your pros and cons on the coop game-play so far ?

[Vermilion Knight]

Co-op with a friend is pretty good considering you and your friend have good Internet connections and PCs that can run the game.

Right now random co-op can be bad because you could possibly match with people who is have a bad connection or a PC have a hard time running the game.
I'm sure it will be addressed further down the line.

Anyway the co-op is really fun. Enemy health scales a little, you don't have to disconnect from your friend if you die like in the other souls games. You can also even fast travel with your friend. It's a great experience.

I have a really terrible experience with MP so far. The lag is insane. Both coop and pvp are unplayable right now unless you play with a friend on the same network.

Cons:
-- story progress is for host only, coop player have to redo it all again;
-- item pickups are not shared, any preplaced items in the world are not accessible for coop player;
-- EXP gain is greatly reduced for coop player (1/3 or something);
-- coop player cannot interact with NPCs in host world. Not just quest NPCs but any: vendors and sanguenix upgrade are not allowed aswell;
-- coop player has no control over Umbral - Real world travels, whenever host does it, coop player follows willingless;
-- there are no option to invite more than one player for coop;
-- "Cross play" works only if one of the players is on PC.

Pros are yet to be found... Honestly I would have refund this game, but crossed 2 hour threshold unfortunately.

It's the same as any souls game coop, people with no thinking skills just saw the words "seamless co-op" and made up what they thought that would mean despite it not being said officially anywhere

Host world progresses
Coop partner gets drops but not the key items/uniques
But you can play together through the whole thing without getting booted out after every boss battle/death

No problems. Do not need it so I turned it off and runs fine.
I can run solo.

Thanks you for the award. Keep them coming.

This and only this is the answer, it's horrid and needs addressing.

right now coop with rando's is broken (depending on how far they are in the world). not to mention when you collide with an NPC/enemy you get pinged around in coop. it's usually fine until you get to melee range
