Willson Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi guys, I wanted to ask one thing to the developers of multiplayer do not starve, but in the final version on the server will be friends forever marked on the map? because now it's a mess because when you are away even just a little do not you score more on the map and it is bad, in the final version will always marked their positions?

Spazmatic Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I like it the way it is, not always knowing where your fellow survivors are. In PvP the element of surprise is nice, and when cooperating it emphasizes good coordination and communication between each other. However, I would not be against the introduction of an item that could give away your position to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a multiplayer game like don't starve know where your friends are is critical, otherwise we have to walk to force all together .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing where everyone is at all times makes for a way easier game. Less handholding more unique survival experience please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranberry Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Related to this issue, has anyone else experienced being unable to see other players on the map at all, ever? (Even if the other players' characters are on your screen.) I hosted a server and my client player couldn't ever see my character's icon on his map, no matter whether we were near each other or miles apart.

cranberry Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, that seems to be intentional - if other players are on an area of the map that you haven't revealed by exploration, you can't see them. In my case, however, both of us were at our base camp. Naturally, that vicinity had been thoroughly explored by both of us and was visible on both our maps. Yet my client still didn't get my player icon on his map when we both stood within sight of each other in our base. Doesn't really matter, I suppose...it was just odd!

That's why it would be helpful the fact that the positions of the players are always on the map, so go to them in case of need and help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiTHON Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well it needs to be changed one way or another whether you support it or not. Right now the host can see everyone (in revealed areas) but the clients can't, so they either need to remove it for the host or add it to the clients. For non-pvp server I favor the latter. Maybe "fix" it for the clients right now and then add a server option: "Players visible on the map: yes/no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I 'm not talking bugs , this topic was opened to advise developers to implement the option to display the users in the server on the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to meet you halfway since I disagree with your initial suggestion. It also makes no sense to be able to see a character on a part of the map you haven't explored yet. If you can't see that touchstone, you shouldn't be able to see the man standing beside that touchstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In PvP the element of surprise is nice, and when cooperating it emphasizes good coordination and communication between each other. However, I would not be against the introduction of an item that could give away your position to the others. I come back to this idea but i suggest the contrary :It would be helpful for cooperative playing that when you meet someone on your screen, then you always see its picture on the sides of the screen (or on the map). But for PvP, you can craft an item that make you "invisible" again, to prevent other players from finding you. A kind of camouflage ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsola Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 sorry, i dont think this is good. having to communicate your position, even if it's just "im to the south east of base, on the grassland beside a road!", is a survival skill too, and it would be much less fun / social if you see all the information about your friends.

CaptainFun Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I feel like not being able to see friends adds to the mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
