2021 version: Any multiplayer mission?

[ni0g0s]

When i played this game some years ago, the multiplayer had like nothing to do apart of free roaming, which was really disappointing

Did they add any content like missions to the multiplayer or is it still the same?

[CaptainNebulous]

Not really. There is multiplayer competitions the host of the game can initiate but you don't get rewards for them. At the moment multiplayer is for the most part being able to hunt on the same map as others and be social.

IMHO the primary challenge of implementing a fully intuitive multiplayer system, at the moment, is the lack of anti-cheat. Sadly cheating in COTW is easy right now and there is no way we would be able to have fair competitions until that is resolved. The vast majority of the work on COTW to this point has been getting the core game to be as good as it can be. One might assume the multiplayer aspect is a secondary priority.

The 2021 Edition is the same game, it just includes some of the DLC bundled together with the base game.

Why do Devs create so many different versions of the game ? The 2019 edition, The 2021 edition. For new players to come it's not easy to choose.

So if it is the same game as CotW with a bit of added content which is just the same DLC, which version gets any updates when available, such as new maps, tweaks, bug fixes, etc.

Makes no sense to do a newer version that is the same as the last, another thought and that is, when and will the version I have be updated to 2021 version or have I just wasted money on another game?.

What's so hard to understand?

All versions are the same game plus a few DLCs already activated. Just check what DLCs they come with and then make up your mind which works best for you.

They all get the same terrible patch support anyway ;D

Thanks @Blowfeld, good to know that my game will get the same great service and try not to shoot anyone in the back when playing with Gauss in MWO, it hurts

It's very clear what you buy in steam store, every game and dlc have info screens.
Just look at them if money matters to you, if not just click and buy all.
And yes if you buy base game multiple times and multiple bundles with same content you will loose money

I don´t understand how they could do this for The Hunter Classic but not for COTW. I loved the daily challenges and missions with a global leaderboard.

It's not possible to buy the base game multiple times, or multiple bundles, unless you are buying them as a gift. If you only buy the base game, but try to buy the 2021 version, for example, Steam will deduct the price of the base game and allow the rest to be purchased (and cheaper than if you buy each DLC individually). If you own everything already, you cannot buy the 2021 version for yourself, only as a gift for someone who does not have it.

It´s not meant to fool people who already own this 5 year old game, it´s trying to fool people that don´t own it that 2021 is a new game.

That's exactly what I think.

Yeah, it´s scummy sales tactics, created only to fool people. I like the game but this, this is just awful and scummy.

I agree, it´s not ok to do this, it gives people the impression they are buying a remastered edition, although it´s just a bundle.

Yes, you can click buy as gift if you don't bother to read and no, steam won't reduce price when you buy as gift. You can try it yourself. So it's totally possible to buy same game multiple times. People don't read anymore, just click buy button and then complaining it everywhere.

What fooling is selling 2021 EDITION with content explained. Only fools that don't read anything can be fooled.

Thank you for bringing some sense to the "debate." It's called a bundle for a reason, and content within fully described.
