The dedicated server MUST be present if the developers announced co-op and even up to 4 players. I understand EA, but still (7D2D never ends an EA so what? it had a server since day zero)

You can't possibly force the team to have a single save (for a host master) while all other team members don't have any saves or progress saves—that's absurd. So the proper option is to have a Dedi server option where all team members have their progress independent and ARE able to play whatever time they prefer. The second option is if you still want to force people to peer 2 peer host only, fine, but again, it must be SHARED gameplay, not master save for the host and nothing for others.

... you do realize 7D2D announced it was leaving EA? Worst time to say "7D2D is never leaving EA"

Not buying until there's dedicated server support (if ever). I have a dedicated game server machine in my house that I host several games on for myself, friends, wife, and mom (yes, she's 72 and still plays PC games and loves survival/rpg/mmo games) - This game looks like it has a lot of potential but seems kinda boring in single player mode. Co-op could be fun but not if one of the players has to be online for the others to join a world in progress, otherwise you end up with 4 different worlds... "Hey, stop playing and join my game", "but why? I'm farther in my own game, so you should join mine", "we should all join Tommy's world", "but he's on vacation next week"... blah blah. No thanks.

if its not using dedicated servers why are host advertising hosting servers for the game?

I got the game for single player but dedicated servers would be cool for multiplayer, not very interested in co op. Thanks for asking this question, the more I think about it the more I want servers

No it "MUST" not be present simply because the devs said it was co-op.. co-op does not instantly equate to servers.. co-op means that you have the capability to play co-op which hosting does provide. Dedicated servers is more of a wish-list item and the devs already said they would look into it. We should be happy they have co-op at all because if they didn't the same people would be complaining about that.

This shows that you have no understanding of how co-op game mechanics or progression or cooperative collaboration works in computer games. I hope devs are reading that and they are aware of that to be a major issue

I 100% agree it needs dedicated servers. I just bought the game and haven't logged in yet. If there are not dedicated server option, I'll probably refund it. I play these games for the coop, and everyone needs to be able to progress without others being on. I understand if you're solo and dgaf but that doesn't mean others shouldn't have the option!

another couple of useless replies....

Does it have dedicated servers?

Hey Literally said it was a Single Player game, and another said 4 coop. which neither of those take Dedicated Servers. IE. No, no servers.

But there are servers because whoever is hosting is running a listen server so they just need to make that headless and a few other changes.

We've designed the game to be played with friends or solo, but we'll be looking into dedicated servers during Early Access. No specific plans for it yet, but we've seen many requests already, especially once modding becomes possible

I read this with great pleasure, but in the case of dedicated servers, an emote system and Voice talk option would also be very much needed, personally, I could imagine a Roleplay server created on the model of GTA, where the players' kingdoms interfere with each other and politicize for power.

[BigCountry]

We need dedicated servers ASAP

[Elatax]

Please add dedicated servers

[RustyFlipper]

+ 1 dedicated servers, please.

my friends will often want to login and progress while I'm not online, having a single save and trying to share it would get messy.

No dedicated servers? Not interested. Perhaps when you get them up and running, but it concerns me that if they are retro-fitted, then the network code will be rubbish. It needed to be built with multiplayer and dedicated servers in mind

Its being worked on and their last game had servers... Also, you necroed a DEMO post from before EA launch lol. Its 4 person co-op its damn near unheard of for dedicated servers to exist for those, its 99% of the time drop in drop out co-op sigh.

It makes no sense for a survival game to have dope in drop out play, For all the reasons listed above. Its good they are working on a dedicated server, until thats a thing and they raise the player cap I'm afraid myself and my group probably wont be buying it.
