Coop details please!

[Dark]

@Devs, Can you tell us how Coop works? Is it the full Campaign? or just some thrown together Coop missions? I just supported the game on KS as I did the first game. So I'm really hoping that Coop is the entire Campaign.

Details please!!

At some point, we’ll definitely prepare a multiplayer trailer because it’s easier to show it than to explain it. Co-op in our game operates on several levels, both passively (in a way we’re not ready to reveal yet) and actively, with the option to invite friends to complete specific tasks. However, the vast majority of the game is a single-player experience, filled with dialogues, tough decisions, and base-building, which don’t make much sense in a co-op setting.

You can't play through the entire game with a friend.

Damn, so its not even close to a coop.
I understand that you are required to list the functionality.
But thats like barely scraping the surface of COOP.
Quite the shame :/

Yeah... One of the reasons I'm not going to buy it. Games like this are rare and should have co-op imo.

Maybe they plan to release a full coop in a future update ?

Players have to see the game as the first "How to Survive" game. It seems to be going in the same direction. I just hope we get our Kovac rules

Likely a stretch to compare, but that sounds similar to the level of co-op in the Dark Souls series, which are very fine games and that co-op is very fun.

Well, my friends set up a perpetual ARMA 3 server where we had to invade and then mission-by-mission, take over the entire island from the NPC faction -- it took several weeks of occasional gameplay to accomplish.

We built operational bases together at strategic locations etc etc, and that certainly worked out well, though yes, there was occasional friction in-house when someone would just tear-down and rebuild (as they wanted) when others were not there... [you know who you are...]

Best base IMHO was at the bottom of the volcano cone, my idea inspired by James Bond... (◠‿◠)

I would love to be able to play the hole game with my wife. Why can't you do something like BG3?

Whoever interacts with the quest does the dialogue, everyone in session gets dialogue screen with ability to click which dialogue they prefer like bg3 does. It's so weird how developers over complicate co-op. Avatar frontiers of pandora is an open world action adventure with tons of dialogue with zero issues because they didn't over complicate it. Base building with friends is incredibly fun, I have no idea how that's even an excuse.

It's baffling there are so many game developers willing to waste money developing a game that is not in line with what their fan base wants. Multiplayer games are far more successful than single player ones. (Steam Charts · Most Played Games on Steam) A half baked multiplayer game is enough to tell me that this isn't worth buying, but I am curious how you feel base building is somehow not suited for co-op. Is this a skill issue on your end?

I dont really care about multiplayer in this game but can i continue playing the game after the story ends or there is no endgame? I hope we can keep on improving our homebase and loot and grind some dungeons after the main missions end.

and is there a cute dog to be our companion in this game? Plsssssssssss

[killu4ever49]

Wish it was full co-op tbh

[Aoshi Shinomori]

Friends are overrated we need chernowaifus

[Shari]

noooooooo, no full coop :(

[DEVILDICE]

Oh =( I was extremely excited when I saw co-op listed on the store page. My friend and I both adore the first game and were hype to play this together. It's really disappointing that it isn't actually co-op.
