Needs to Be Co-op/Multi player

[RhAce]

title says it all you dont see a real farm with only one guy doing it all

If they put in multiplayer, I'll pre-order.

[Aefian]

Yeah same, If they allow us to get our own servers there's a high chance I will buy it.

[Tampa Powers]

Our own dedicated servers we don't have to pay extra for mind you! Linux headless preferably because anything other than that is just silly.

[Terminal Meltdown]

Sales will mutlipy by 100 easily with multiplayer included. If it has multiplayer I will buy it day one. If not, I will pass on the game entirely.

[Aldodrem]

i disagree and hope all resources remian commited and focused on making the greatest campaign possible

[Jagga]

Concentrate on singleplayer for release.

Multiplayer is for those who dont know how to play alone. This new generation of must-have-mp-in-games is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'm not saying that wont be good, because playing with friends is nice, but single player too is way interesting. The challenge can be very rewarding.

Multiplayer in FS17 is a blast. My wife and I currently play Multiplayer in FS17 and it does add a great element to that game. I think we played FS17 around 12 hrs. just yesterday and another 6 hrs. today. I also have a Single Player game that I play in FS17, as well. I would recommend adding the Multiplayer aspect at some point.

Just because some people think this game would benefit from MP doesn't mean that people don't know how to play single player. As far as the generation of gamers, the average age group of farming simmers may be higher than you think.

The majority of games I play are single player, or I choose to play them single player.

That said, I believe (optional) MP would only benefit the franchise. The OP even stated, "you dont see a real farm with only one guy." Hired workers aside, if one decided to invest in expanding up to 5 seperate maps, that's a lot of management for one person. In fact, based on how they developed it that way offers more of a reason to have MP included IMHO. It's been said that crops will continue to grow while you're visiting other areas. Since it's a simulator, one can presume there will be withering (perhaps a toggle will be included to turn that off). On top of that, the time scale cannot be set at 1, I believe the slowest is somewhere around 5x IIRC. You talk about a challenge? Well it will certainly be one maintaining a combined massive area solo, if one decides to explore all aspects the game offers.

It's fairly obvious they have planned substantial single player gameplay/campaign already. So I'm not sure where the worry is coming from about the single player experience from other posters, IF they devs decide that implementing MP is a good move.

Another thing to keep in mind, Pure Farming is essentially going to be competing with Farming Simulator. Personally I really enjoy the latter, and if you think about it... many people who are looking into Pure Farming already play Farming Simulator, including yourself. FS19 will most likely hit the store page in October this year, although there isn't much info anywhere, there is some about possibly new engine and improved (photorealistic) graphics. Aside from other current differences in features, I believe MP is something they should not overlook. Competition is healthy, and FS is probably going to be raising the bar in the next 9 months. Just something for the Devs of Pure Farming to consider.

It does sound like alot of fun going over with friends who will tend what farm and visiting/helping each other. I do feel the devs are awefully silent on this subject, seeing as they did reply on other parts of the forum. Doesn't feel like a promising sign.

Looking at the forums MP seems to be a dealbreaker for alot of potential buyers.

No coop from TECHLAND in 2018, from creators of perfect coop DYING LIGHT...this is....so annoying...

Not for me. Single player all the way. I also have FS17 and Never play multiplayer.

Although it's certainly not a deal breaker for some, for others that enjoy multiplayer may skip this one and wait for FS 19. You said yourself that you never played MP in FS17. If you have, you might find you enjoy it and have a different view on if this should be a feature.

Another way to look at it, with MP there will be a wider audience, which will help improve your single player experience as there would be more sales. I'm not saying whether or not it's a deal breaker for myself, I honestly don't quite know yet.

No... I meant FS19. Probably due around October.
