Cooperation, or open multiplayer PvP? (Opnions how multiplayer will be?)

[lardi]

Will the multiplayer work like in dark souls?

Y'know like when you are human (Built the teleporter) people can help you fight the evils that lurk in the world, but also invade you for your precious humanity and souls? (Resources).

I think this would add a layer of thinking before triying to make a teleporter.

 

...then again people would spawn the teleporter through console, and all other crazy stuff, so maybe you would first need to press a button before making a character, disabling the console permanently for that game?

 

It's just my opinion, that I think would make the teleporter a helpful but also harmful option, post your own opinions about how multiplayer will be.

 

 

 

Edit: Darn that grammatical error.

You would have to implement something to avoid the entrance of griefers into public games...because we all know they are out there in every multi-player game.

If you open your game to public, the public can get in. Pressing a button or removing console commands wouldn't change that.

I would imagine it would work by "invites" where you can get a group of people going. Being able to attack each other would be interesting, that could give players something else to do if PvE is to easy for them.

The Post by JoeW says there will be public and private games, I'm sure the private are invite only...but it still brings up what recourse there is for public games infested with a$$holes.

PvP sucks

It has it's place, I don't think ds is it.

Now that I think of it, what wouldnt prevent someone to come to your world with a character with 1000 health or a wilson with modified stats to murder you? Or on his world, he used a mod to make a thulecite armor and weapon with just a stone....

this is turning into animal crossing but darker

That's why you play on private servers, to avoid kids like those.

The ability to play on private servers shouldn't negate the need to deal with griefers on public servers, not everyone will or could have the private server option.

Maybe there could be an anti cheating system, that if it detects you using a trainer or modified data boots you out to your world again.

Well yes it goes without a question. Anti-cheating systems will be applied. They should be.

The thing is that nowadays even anti cheats are fooled by some, and they can manage to get through the protection, given the time.

[BizzarreFr0g]

I think people shouldn't be able to join your game without you setting your game to "public" or something like that. And (obviously) you should be able to invite people.

 

It'd also be cool if there was like, a "multiplayer settings" screen, where you can specify if your game is public, if PvP is activated in your game or it's Co-op based, and things like that.

 

Can't wait for Don't Starve Together. Keep it up, Klei.

It's still too early to know, and there's not a lot of gameplay details at the moment. What I can tell you guys is you will be able to play with friends and even with complete strangers in either public or private games if you'd like. 

 

If you do have suggestions or ideas about what multiplayer could be, by all means share it with us!

[Jastiari]

OH yeah, i really want griffers and trolls

Exactly the type of person I'm referring to.

My guess on how this will work. Is that we will play with each other like in Minecraft. They'll have to add a few more things to balance the game and add a way to trade items with each other.

Trade items? In Mnecraft you just put them in a chest or drop them at your feet, both can be done in ds now.

Trading items would be better IMO.

[Jastiari]

But added coding time that doesn't need to be spent.

[Ysulyan]

As long as you play with strangers and not against strangers, I guess Public could be passable.

This is personal opinion though, based on personal experiences. I just dislike PvP.
If PvP is what most people want though, then whatever, what can I say?

Thing I don't like about minecraft was the survival paled in comparison to the fun people where having in MP.

[Monkey_BBZ]

My assumption is that if you just don't post your ip address on any forums, you should be fine. And even still, if you do, you should probably change ports and notify other players.

Have you ever seen the internet as a whole have the ability to "play nice" together?  There's always at least one in every group lol
