Co op details?

[toesmeller634]

Can someone break down how the co op works for me?
What can the guest players do/not do?
Is there desync issues?
Are bases shared? etc

Quest Progression is HOST related so if the Host for example completes the Quest everybody else has (it is always the same Quest cause its tied to host) its completed for others.

Ships / Speeder the first Vehicles are tied to the host and only HE can resummon the on their location. (Play Singleplayer till everybody has their own stuff - bad workaround but should work for the mates that join the host)

Desync not for me atleast.

Bases are "shared" but not really.
Only the Host can craft out of Storage but others can normaly build, if they wanna craft something either the Host crafts it (which doesn't level the Professions of your Mates) or they put the single materials out of the chests

And for the Quests for example:

"Smelt Gold ore" - if u play with a Mate and he does it the Quest sticks at THIS point - as soon as the Host completes this task the quest will get "refreshed" to the new Part

Eeek they need to get this sorted asap. Today or tomorrow preferably. Most of these things should be controlled by flags. So ideally should be an easy fix.

That's a really scuffed form of multiplayer, yikes.

What about player progress? Can one person use their character on multiple worlds or do you have to make a new one everytime you join a new world?

The Character u create is your "MAIN" Char afaik.

So for example if i would join with my ship on your server and my inventory it should stay with me (from my SP world for example)

oof alright good to know. reminds me of no mans sky co op kind of. While the game looks fun, i dont really solo play games much these days and im not really interested in a half baked co op experience that feels like something which should have been ironed out before release. Almost feels like they just wanted to check that box to say the game is multiplayer. I'll check back in a few months, see if they've corrected any of these "features". thanks

As hard as it sounds like but i would play it either SOLO right now or wait for them to hopefully sort some things out in COOP (thats my honest Opinion)

Me and my Wife quit after like almost 2 Hours of COOP cause it was just frustrating to find a workaround for every little thing.

Jep, sometimes it works when joining others, sometimes it doesn't sadly.

But as i said, give it a go in Singleplayer atleast thats worth it - but on COOP i would wait for a few Patches.

[Kurp ♥]

Yeah the co-op is undercooked, which is disappointing. If you can look past the issues, it seems like a fun game. Gonna try to continue co-op, impressions just not v good.

id wait till coop atleast has private lobbies fully working since some players are jumping in open lobbies and steal ores then leaving

[SkootyWang]

can verify coop has issues. all things said in this thread are true. now i'm not seeing a way to make game private for just me and my pal as well. can't lock other 2 slots either so a guy joins and takes stuff from a chest, hehehh
