So like why would you wanna play multiplayer if your not the host?

[Violeta]

From what I hear you have to make brand new characters if not host.

You lose all items when you log out and its left behind in a chest each time.

Your just working on someone else's farm, not even your own.

If the host decides to ban you or they are done, you lose everything.

Wheres the benefit for non-hosts?

Yeah but other games like factorio let you save the map for your own single player use. Terraria lets you keep everything on your character. A mod lets you save minecraft maps, ect.

A playthrough of stardew can be quite long (100+ hours), just to suddenly lose everything and have nothing to show for it. Isn't a multiplayer where you'll want to play with randoms and friends better than ones you only play with close trusted friends?

whether or not anyone likes or dislikes any feature of multiplayer is subjective opinion. you're welcome to not like having to make a new character if you're not the host and the whole item system that will go with it. i for one am looking forward to being able to marry my bf ingame. X3

No, why would I want to play with randoms? the only people that care about playing with randos are no-friend losers. My friends log into my farm to help me during my busy season (usually summer), then when we're done we log into the next friend to help. Your need to be immediately rewarded for helping someone is telling and is exactly why I don't want to play with greedy randoms such as yourself.

Ok, so your calling anyone who wants to play with random people, "no friend" losers, that's insulting, I have friends, both in real life and on Steam, and I have no problem potentially playing with random people

So you're hired help for the host in the worst case? I'm okay with this because the worst case is someone I wouldn't want to keep playing with anyway. Best case is a new farm started up on the honor system that the host won't play unless everyone else is there to tend things or an established farm where the host and other players have freedom to mess around without any pressures of the regular content anyway.

Plus, what's the goal of getting all the stuff you found in your co-op game back to your single player farm? There's only two years of content and three or even two players will blitz the hell out of the progression if everyone divides possible labor up well. Do you really think it'll be fun to take your co-op gains earned with 1/3 or less of the work you would have had to put in on your own to your own farm and blow through all the bundles for more than five minutes? If yes, that's awfully Joja of you, you should buy a membership...

Hey Carpel! The reason for this is simply to play with friends and work for them for free. You are most likely not going to play with strangers unless you have no friends with steam or SdV.
Its honestly not as bad as it sounds. Just my wording. :)

Since Multi players isn't even in alpha yet and still in QA any info you get from anywhere other then the Dev is hear say. How about we wait til Beta hits before we start Agruing over what might or might not be in the game.

So, you're complaining that there's no reward to joining "some rando's" game, then immediately contradict yourself and say the ONLY reason "randos" join multiplayer games is for instant rewards.

This thread is making me dizzy.

Considering he doesn't have any friends, it's obvious why he posted this and cries like the little pony loving ♥♥♥♥♥ that he is. No surprise there but still ultimately a useless ♥♥♥♥ post from somebody who doesn't know how it is to play with friends and that Stardew Valley's MP isn't really meant for "play with complete strangers" but to play with friends and have fun.

Oh wow, rude much. You know, only someone who calls other people no-friend losers is someone who is immature. I may not like playing with random people all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm not open to making new friends. While I can see your concerns, MP isn't out yet and it's best to save judgement until at least Beta rolls out when everyone or those who opt to play beta, can find out how MP will work.
