Co-op is a joke
I just played 4 full games and didnt get a single gem to slot in any of my weapons because another player always got the loot first. In fact, the only thing I managed to get was some gold throughout all 4 games.

Its not making me want to go back and play more, thats for certain.

Great way to kill off your player base super fast.

Infact, you described the most important problem, especially in Horde mode. If you enter in a lobby after some time it is started, all doors have been opened already and you can't take any amulet to power up your gun.

I would prefer an upgrade system like the one in call of duty zombies, where you pay money in order to power up your gun, such as 5000 money

I know it doesn't solve the co-op problem, but there's an easy way to farm gems in single-player. Some specific chests produce gems about 80% of the time.

For example, on the Hidden Valley map, the chest in the cave near Cat #5 almost always produces a gem. At that point in the game, you've just completed a big battle, so the "checkpoint" is right there. If the chest doesn't give you a gem, simply reload the checkpoint and you'll be at the cave again. Voila...all the gems you want!

There are a few caves in the area, so I've posted a screenshot of the exact location at: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1556652051

They really screwed up what could have been a great game

It takes about 10 minutes to get all the money you could ever use in this game.

Anyone who rushes for treasure when they have no apparent need for it....

I think 10 minutes is a bit of an exaggeration. Unless there is some sorta exploit you can do.

Besides, I was refering to gems to socket in your weapons, not gold. If you never get to loot chests, you never get gems.

Just such a stupid system. The fact that the devs arent communicating doesnt help either

I a agree about the horde comment, should be some way to put 2 gems in every box if there is 2 players. 3 for 3 ect. all the same and you can only pick up one of any gem.

Get Deep Rock Galactic. Best co-op in ages

So many reasons for no coop, but game is supposidly made for coop. We hated no loot sharing, but found no need for it since we got the guns AND weapons we wanted in just a half dozen hours. Nothing to really work/play for now.

And the UI is not made for coop either. Health bars? Potions/Money shown? Map or mini map to plan and use as battle tactics together? Ping even?

I've played games just like this, in the 80s.

its all about the party, i was just in a party where we almost took turns on loot. after that first match you should have known better, and found a different party, why did you say for four games with them?
