nimzowitsch10 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Here's what I'm thinking it could offer: - access to exclusive klei servers that don't reset after update/crash and of more variety such as pvp or wilderness - spools or klei points - special item offers - more dev support Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/145081-how-would-you-feel-about-a-klei-subscription-service/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk Mujunk Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 No. No Battle Passes, no Seasons, no paid Loot Boxes, no "Games as a Service". We currently get spools (through unraveling) free, their Bolt packages are more than fair, and the bit about dev support and server issues seem to stem from something else entirely shoehorned into the poll description as a shot across Kleis bow.

00petar00 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Instead of asking for subscription just pay a server hosting service to host a server in your area and play however you want. Why do you expect klei to run endless servers for you and for them to actually put aside their time to solve any issues they may have?

nimzowitsch10 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 At this point, I can only think that money will make klei devs care about their servers unfortunately. I can't be the only one that would pay for klei servers at this point. There are 0 good servers in my area @00petar00I have tried running my own public dedicated servers, all my server show up with ??? ping so noone can even see it. I've tried 10999 port forwarding and all that other stuff, nothing works. Noone ever joins and my patience has run out with hosting my own public server because noone can even see. Haven't played DST in a while because of low server availability and I really do want to play, even with a subscription fee.

So I am not a social person but even I have met many people that i added to my friend list from public servers that i played on. You can just invite people that you know and that should be all you need and ping shouldn't matter anymore? Also you can just pay for server host, they should have ping shown, just look for server hosts that offer free trials or refunds in case ping is "???".

SapoLover Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I can imagine it: "The starving pass". 10 dollars, doing missions on Klei servers, galactic themed skins, alternative portraits for already existing skins, medalls in the profile picture and maybe a new character locked behind it. It's hard to imagine a good first impression from the community.

Mike23Ua Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Guy complaining about servers, lol should buy an Xbox- we do not have and to the best of my knowledge have NEVER had Klei Official/Dedicated Servers. This means… while some people are over here wanting Klei to quote “wrap up” the story for Billy & Mumsy, some of us never got a chance to even find out who they are, there’s a huge chunk of that story plot entirely missing from Xbox players, and to wrap it up would just be confusing as heck.. but then again, Klei’s been throwing in NPCs lately in the form of things like Corvus Goodfeather so people who didn’t get to experience Billy/Mumsy ordeal will likely just think they’re something NEW like Corvus just magically showing up.. As far as your question about a GTA+ Membership, this is what ultimately lead to me deleting GTA (well that, and the fact it eats up a whopping 112gb) In a world where Covid rapidly wrecked the economy and people are just struggling to pay their bills as is, we didn’t really need a 10$ monthly premium subscription. Klei even advertises the game as not having the features your asking if they should put into the game… and Why? Just so they’ll give you better servers? PLAY ON XBOX you won’t even know they ever existed.. -_- You can try to make the best of the servers you have & be grateful for it, or you could’ve been an Xbox player and never really had them at all. Fixing/maintaining those servers should not be a priority to Klei, fixing bugs, finishing character reworks, re-reworking characters who still fall short of expectations, new content, reworking old gameplay mechanics, those should take priority. Please.. don’t get GTA+, Loot Boxes, or Pay to Play features added to DST.

Loonytoony Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 No no no no I don't want one of my favorite games to have a game pass of some sort. Cosmetics are enough and if it does get a game pass it will become free 2 play which is a nightmare.

Harrowick Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Unironically, a "battle pass" for days survived on a public, un-modded world *could* be a very cool way to incentivize players to work together and stay for longer. It could even be styled similarly to Don't Starve's experience system. However, I believe it would only work if it was exclusively cosmetics. (And it would be pretty cool if the pass wasn't limited time exclusive, meaning players could choose when to participate without feeling the overwhelming sense of urgency) This is just my take, I would welcome it, but it certainly isn't necessary unless Klei needed additional revenue.

JazzyGames Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 If you’re willing to pay for a more reliable public server then perhaps consider hosting a public server of your own? Plenty of game hosts out there that provide decent rates and intuitive backend, and you can set them up however you like!

Your missing my point, making sure you have the experience you want to have on official/dedicated servers is NOT a priority to Klei.. Fixing the bugs that still linger within the Newly released Nintendo Switch version of the game as well as catching them up to other platforms in updates THAT would be a priority to Klei.

nimzowitsch10 Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 @JazzyGames I've tried to host my own pub servers and the ping is always ??? so noone joins. My server remains at the bottom of the list, unlike klei public servers. I've tried different hosting providers and all the servers remained at a ping of ??? so I'm at a loss for what to do now. Does anyone have experience with fixing the ??? glitch? @Mike23Ua If I could configure my own public dedicated servers to not have the ??? ping glitch I would have no complaints, but my server remains at the bottom of the server list all the time. I ran my servers for over 3 months and the ping remained the same "???". at that point it was just a private server instead of a public server.
