For the love of God please fix the multiplayer

[Man of God]

Please devs. This is supposed to be a multiplayer centric game. But I shouldn't have to commit to finishing the entire campaign with the same dudes.

Please also fix and improve the save situation. The game is definitely a worthy successor to the first one and I don't even mind that some parts of it are tedious. Yet the multiplayer absolutely needs an improvement.

I should be able to pick this up with my mates at any time and put it down and pick it up on my own again with others. It should be obvious that finding a consistent group of mates to play any game these days is a struggle.

Thanks for understanding <3

P.S. Thanks for the remake of the first game. It was a nice surprise.

give it up, let it go, there is no hope

Been lurking the forums / just learned of this-

So let me get this straight, saving in Multiplayer deletes your save?

your data is saved on server(host), which means if the person who host the server is not online, you can't get access to that saved data -_-
also you can't delete your saved data because it's not a client-side option...

no you can play 100 games and have 100 savefiles for each different campgain
nothing gets deleted without you doing it manually
but in multiplayer the save is only for the person who hosts.
all players progress is bound to that save
its A RPG. you dont get to play randomly to boost yourself and join your friend after and steamroll everything.

This exactly. It's absolutely devastating. Unless you are going to host some dedicated server or something it's basically impossible to continue what you were doing if your mate has some laptop that's turned off. This is one of the worst decisions ever and there has to be a way for the devs to change this.

I don't see this game getting anything other than a "Mixed" rating whilst this is the case.

[Man of God]

Yep ratings look bad.

[bonerwizard]

plus the loot system is a joke and the quests are so convoluted that only about 15% of people even figure out how to make potions (according to achievement stats).

Then host the game? It solves all your problems. Really don't see the issue here.

I mean, in my case the issue was a friend joining a little later in the game and wanting to try a class (the ranger, in this case) and finding out that he doesn't like it... But now if I want to play on my "main" save and he wants to join, Ranger it is. No going back. Can't even delete the character and rejoin as a different class. Considering it already bumped the new character up to match my character's level, I don't see a problem with allowing the host to delete any given attached character to allow a client to make a new one.

You'd think with how hugely successful Hammerwatch 1 was ... and then Heroes of Hammerwatch... Sudden Decision to keep features from prior game.... Don't get it.

"With how hugely successful Hammerwatch 1 was, why would they make Hammerwatch 2 work the same way?"

Not a valid response.
