The Great Big Multiplayer Question Revisited

[Heavy]

I really hate to quote older posts from devs that wanted to give us some stuff. But here we go

Multiplayer

Lots of great questions in there. I think that we have probably been a little too tight lipped about it as of late. I think we can open up the dialogue a little more. Unfortunately we are going to put a slight delay on that just until we’re over the patch hump. Once we’re through that, we will take some time to get the community communication regarding multiplayer going better. There was a little bit of talk kinda regarding it in the interview Boardman just put up.

That was before 0.7.9 and we still haven’t got any new infos.

I would really like to dev insight on what the intend to do on MP, don’t has to be super detailed.

Just some comments about one or a few of those topics?

• Economy (Gold? Bazaar? Trading?)
• Loot Allocation in Party (instanced loot/shared loot)
• Party Size (still 5 players intented?)
• Scaling of Mobs (Health? Damage? Mob Density?)
• How much did devs consider performance issues/lags?
• Social Hubs? (Can you see other players in Town/HUB areas?)
• More insight on “Cycles”

A dev blog about it would be great too.

I really don’t want to have multiplayer right now, when it’s not ready, i just would like to get a feeling of what the intend of EHG will be in some regards.

Nevertheless i am super pumped and i have alot of faith, you guys at EHG did show several times that you put alot of thought into new features/design!
