dedicated server?

[GrandmaDeath]

or did someone have to host the game for coop?

[fatesdeath]

im going to assume is hosted on a players pc...
you probably could figure a way to get a "server" going that ran 24/7 though

Peer to peer on launch, with dedicated on 1.0 :)

will PtP hosting still remain even after dedicated servers are added?

Awesome to see dedicated being planned. I would however strongly urge to push this out a lot sooner than 1.0, unless 1.0 is in the next few months. Games like this thrive in multiplayer , and a lot of people simply can't easily play MP if it's only peer to peer, as then whoever hosted needs to keep hosting for the gaming group to keep playing.

Having dedicated allows us to ask our favorite game server hosting provider to get it setup, so we can easily keep it 24/7 :)

Great to hear. Sick of buying coop games that don't do dedicated server support.

I totally agree with you there with out dedicated hosting people tend to lose motivation for games like this just because of that reason like it happen to my group today I have to go to work which I am the host so they can’t continue to play.

I'm surprised dedicated servers at launch hasn't become a standard for survival sandbox games like this. It really is important for the survival of the game. I'm coming from playing Sons of the Forest with my friends which also doesn't have dedicated servers yet. We had a great time but decided to stop playing after a couple weeks because it's such a pain to play when everyone has to wait on one person to play.

I also agreed. This was the first thing I looked for before buying. I've been wanting this game, but I will probably wait until the dedicated server is released. I only play these games with friends and its too hard to keep a hosted player online all the time. A dedicated server is the way to go when releasing these types of games. Even basic ones to start with. Can't wait to play this.

[Lord Keldrin]

Same. I'll wait for a dedicated server for the same reasons PsycoKiller mentioned

Yes, please make efforts to get the dedicated server out before 1.0...since EA games sometimes take years before we see a 1.0 version. Dedicated servers can help you iron out all sorts of MP game bugs and help your game grow.

Bump. Dedicated servers for sandbox survival games are a MUST. I purchased because I believe in this project and wanted to support it, but I'm not playing until we get dedicated servers so I can play with my friends as I usually do. Getting them online ASAP is critical for the game's success imo.

[Xerxsea]

I would just like to also express my desire for dedicated server to play with friends on. It is essential for this kind of game.

Taking a little time to set up a dedicated server for our survival games (in my house) is the absolute first thing I do. After having used it, PTP is simply a terrible system for a grinding, coop survival game, so, this omission is a deal breaker.
