Rebomonkey Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 *I know this will probably be removed due to spam, or people have heard it before, like, a lot, but I backed this game up at 2011 (or when ever this game was started) I would MUCH RATHER have my friend and I desperately trying to get out of a second story window when a horde is coming at us, then wait ANOTHER year or two just to be able to also drive a car, and get killed by competent npcs. My Point is, My friend and I, and inevitably a few other people that may or may not orbit the sun, suggest that you bump up the date of multiplayer SLIGHTLY! You don't have to go out of your way, you don't have to even acknowledge this post, but yea, let me know what you think BEFORE you delete this, and may the schwartz be with your team of hard workers (I hope) Also probably should have put this into suggestions XD chthonic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebig44 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Gosh, how many times you people asked fotr Multiplayer... Theres no date but i can say it MIGHT come in end-2014... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToastedFishSandwich Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The thing is, online multiplayer is a massive undertaking. If the devs were to start it now, then they would have to neglect optimisations and, more importantly, every single person whose top priority isn't multiplayer.

Jeb Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Like NPCs. NPCs can be your multiplayer for a bit. How about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodWaffle Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I believe what TIS has been working on for a while (fixing bugs, optimizing and graphics changes) are essential before considering multiplayer, also we have NPC's coming up soon which should at least satiate that for a while. As fun as multiplayer will be, I'd rather there was more to do in the world first and believe that NPC's will be what I'm looking for.That being said, I think multiplayer will be awesome and can't wait to try it, but I don't think it should be put ahead of more pressing matters.

plekpot Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I concur with GodWaffle, bugs and fixes come first, Multiplayer would just create more bugs. When NPC's get implemented and the bugs that come with them, only then should we think about multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waib Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 ya as awesome as it would be to play with actual ppl, if the game doesnt even work with npc's yet then multiplayer is probably out of the question regardless of how many ppl want it Xadhoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuitism Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'd rather them finish the core game first. If you guys have seen Lemmy pissed before, you know that if they started working on MP now, he would start playing out a fantasy from The Shining.

Besides, imagine you and your friend teaming up against NPCs when multiplayer IS added in! plekpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebomonkey Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Like NPCs. NPCs can be your multiplayer for a bit. How about that? Normally i would be ok with this, but i am not some weirdo that likes playing with programming instead of people. Also NPCs can't be my multiplayer.

Dr_Cox1911 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 As much as i want multiplayer I think it´s best to get the basics done. Especially the 3D-engine-change is a really important step. If multi is coming out it will be a small one I think so NPCs are mandatory even for the multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCenturion Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Indeed, and so much more. I still don't think multiplayer should ever be a primary focus for PZ, at least for now. Not every game needs to have some type of multiplayer- this one, I think, will always have stronger SP. ToastedFishSandwich and Fj45 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireglobe109 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 In my opinion once the 3D stuff comes out, vehicles, fixes to co-op, wipe out the big bugs, and get in the NPCs. I'm ready for multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I can't imagine anything worse in the world than working on multiplayer and sacrificing the entire rest of the game for it- don't mince words, that's what you're asking.

Zombiepupz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Imagine a bunch of competent players who concentrate on surviving rarther than how good their 'Yo mama' jokes are.Lo and behold NPCs!!!!Patience, my friend, is a great virtue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phesired Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Personally I think theese should be before multiplayer (Personal list).1. Optimization because the game isn't running it's best right now.2. NPC's (Alot of other small updates such as Ability to lock doors to keep us happy while we wait.)3. More different sneaking animations.4. Traps5. Passing out & cleaning up corpse and blood. (I belive this gives the game a nice touch.)5. Vehicles6. Multiplayer7. By this time I would like to see even more on the map.8. Suicide as this would be sexy to see.9. -10. - This is my personal list of what I would like to see *personally*, ( I don't mind you telling me I'm a idiot and saying "This is how it should be done!" and writing your own list.

Well NPC's are coming before optimizations (3D engine) though the mondoid today said they wanted to get a new update to fix some bugs and memory issues, and tweak some optimization, then its back to the NPC train.Or at least thats how I read it.

PlasticandRage Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I honestly am not all that wild about the notion of multiplayer in PZ. I wouldn't argue against its inclusion, because I can see how it'd be enjoyable, but this is just the kind of game that I think I personally will enjoy more solo. I'm glad that it's where the focus is staying. Part of the reason I always kill NPC's on sight too. My apocalypse strategies just aren't very compatible with more than one person.

Erm, I'm fairly sure that's not quite the case. I think the 3D engine was top on the list, NPCs are still a little way down. No point having NPCs if they don't work properly.

GretSeat Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd like a game without bugs first, before multiplayer. A game that doesn't crash. A game that screams "THIS IS AMAZING AND NOTHING CAN RUIN MY EXPERIENCE" before multilayer. Because what's going to happen when you and a buddy are surviving and a year passes, only for one of you to randomly crash and lose your progress, or get "STuck in a wall" or zombies lag into you and you die. Hmm? I would prefer stability over multiplayer anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
