How will DLC handle online play without splitting the community?

[BFishY ><>]

If the host has the DLC will everyone else have the content similar to other games with DLC sharing or will all parties have to have the DLC?

RoR2 ins't exactly a huge game with lots of players, a DLC split will make finding pubs to play with even harder.

That would kinda defeat the whole point of the dlc costing money. They might as well make it free if they do it that way.

paradox interactive does DLC sharing in multiplayer pretty well, i don't see why hopoo couldn't take a page out of their book

I think itd almost be necessary to have DLC sharing. As OP said. It would split the playerbase too much if there wasnt. It'd be hard to find lobbies if you didnt own the DLC. If you ever wanted to play alone, or use the new characters, youd need the DLC either way. Doing DLC share for public lobbies wouldnt hurt them, because everyone who wants the new content would buy it I imagine.

I think they actually mentioned that only the host would need the DLC

I think after paying dlc realse in just who is the host of the game. If then don't have you can't get dlc iteams.

I'm getting the DLC. I was wondering how the devs would handle this because I don't want the community split and multiplayer to die.

I will be dissapointed if you you cant play with DLC characters in any player's server because it wont hurt anyone, you can choose the character you like and new players can see how the character plays and even can work as a way to incite players to buy the DLC.

But everything else should be only accesible if the host have the DLC and only players with the DLC will be able to enter, you can of course host a NON DLC server if you have the DLC and you still want to play without everybody (lets say one of your friends does not have the DLC) you can play with everybody in case even if you have the DLC already

Fromsoftware games manage this great.
you can carry YOUR DLC things into other people worlds without the DLC, but the exclusive zones of the DLC are not accesible for them.

that would be terrible in ror2 multiplayer when you're suddenly kicked out of the game because the teleporter teleported you to a dlc map

you readed my message?
you cant access the DLC content by yourself, but other players can still use the DLC survivors in your world

that wouldn't work in ror2 because you'd need to complete challenges to use the survivor. paradox model is still the best
