Server browser?

[Literally Me]

I sorta understand that they want to work on the party matchmaking system. Unless the matchmaking system is as great as the one in say, Rocket league, I think there should still be a server browser for at least the time being. All of the matches I have played so far have had some form of latency issues.

Also, What about custom servers or playermade servers? I could be mistaken but I thought that was going to be a thing. You would need a server browser for this as well.

You can already make player-hosted servers, but you can only acces them via Steam invite (so unless you have a friend that invites you to one or you join theirs yourself, you can't enter a private server as they are only accessible via Steam's friends window)

Many people would like to have the server browser back, we don't know why they removed it, maybe they wanted to stress-test the matchmaking of the new servers and it'll come back next year?

Cant even join a server rn they need to fix these garbage servers, game isnt even worth the money rn

Please don't release a game with broken multiplayer servers when the entire point of the game is to play online.

How does the first player enter the server, so they can send out invites? I would like to host a server, so me and my friends can play... can you explain the method for utilizing a custom server?

There is a button that allows you to make the server private, only thing is that it only shows the PS4 buttons so we don't know the ones used on the keyboard.
Technically we could just try mashing the keyboard but for now let's wait until Boneloaf either makes the UI change based on the kind of input used or explains us how to use custom servers with a keyboard.

Nevermind. That is not a player-hosted server. It is a player-hosted match. Nevermind.

Based on what I found online, they use to have player-hosted servers. They removed the ability to join servers manually by inputting ip/port/passwords ect... So hosting a private server is impossible at this time for the current version of gangbeasts.

I seriously wish they would stop forcing certain features on us while also taking away other ones in the main build. The main build is supposed to work. They are doing it all wrong and its pretty annoying.

what? Who the ♥♥♥♥ gave you that notion? This is a local party game that was never intended to be online. It was stuck in early access for so long because hordes of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fans demandes online from thevteam of 5 devs and it took them away from doing other things.

True. and that's another reason why people shouldn't be getting so upset over a "broken game." There are only 5 people working on it. I still think, however, that they could utilize better practices when it comes to releasing versions.
