Multiplayer progress isn't shared?

Seriously? I played with a friend who hosted the game for like 4 hours and unlocked Provie and Marian, but I can't play as either of them. Why are the unlocks only available to the host?

Yes, the progress is only on the host, it's not very hard to do the quests and stuff with a higher level character.

Also, if you keep joining people and complete their quests, you gain EXP and money to all your characters over and over again.

Yeah, but that doesn't address the issue that everything I did with my friend isn't unlocked for me. I'd be fine with my story progress even being my own and having to start it over again, but why don't the unlocks carry over? This is a MP game. It feels like a huge oversight.

I agree, the chars not unlocking make no sense whatsoever, like what is the con for getting them early? Even if you didnt start in a lobby at the beginning?

Probably because it would manipulate the save files on multiple players games and breaks people's saves if a later progress player comes and joins.

It affects the story mode actually since Marian and Provie has respective 'story' on why they are there and they are bosses for those first two sections of the map.

By beating them and unlocking them for your save when you didn't progress that far, you outright break that story content.

They could easily just have an option to A. Allow joining enable/disable unlocks from the host story. B. Not lock them in the first place. C. Unlock them for all players present during the boss's defeat, so joining after wouldnt unlock em but players in the game once defeating and the unlock screen is shown, would have the boss.

Played since the beginning with my sister and its pretty dumb she didnt get the new char but I did, now we have to do it all AGAIN and then we have to do it to unlock the other boss later on too! Super frustrating and a time waster on a game that still hasn't been officially patched for it's issues.
