Add dedicated servers... Please!!

[Big Osky]

I like to host servers for this game but sometimes i'm not able to play, and it would be awesome if i could host a dedicated server instead being afk to let other players play if i'm busy.

Just check out this page http://riskofrain.cyber-dev.net:11100/ and look at the shout box (chat).
There are people that pass more than 30 minutes waiting to join a game, because games last approximately 30 minutes, and the lobbys get filled in less than 5 minutes.
It would be great for all the hosters and for all the players to have dedicated servers, we could have more servers and more people playing.

Please consider it developers

And sorry if my english is bad or very basic. It's not my native language

Thanks for reading

I just don't see HOW dedicated servers would work or what the point of them would be for a game like this.

I just wish I didn't have to ♥♥♥♥ with my IP settings to get multiplayer to work, since I don't know ♥♥♥♥ about that stuff and I always coward out for fear of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ something up.

They could help with lag issues, if you host a server somewhere between your machine and your friends' locations. I currently deal with playing with a friend in Finland, and I always end up with a ping ranging from 235 to 350, and as of the latest update, that gets me killed almost constantly.

A dedicated server could tie ownership to one or more Steam UUIDs, and allow those users to change game settings and start the game after all players have readied up. They wouldn't need to stay connected for the match to continue, but the match would automatically reset to starting lobby when all players disconnect, or all players die.

Players would not be able to reconnect to the server when a match is already in progress, but it may allow a player to join and spectate the match in progress.

Exactly. You got the idea, that's the point of having dedicated servers. Hope developers consider it

Me and my friends just started playing this and we love it. I lead our gaming clan and we would love to host a dedicated server for this, would love to see this added.

There is about a 0-1% chance of this game even being updated. They only have one developer on this game from what I've searched and for a professional product, they don't treat it as such. On their kickstarter, they had a variety of stretch goals and even promised to update this game for a long time to come, they've only come through on the mutations, that's it.

There is no arena mode, no constant updates on either the games or themselves, just silence and a bug filled game.
