[@FringePatriotGaming]

BE SURE TO COMMENT! Are you playing Offline or on the Official Servers? or maybe just running a private server with 3 of your buddies?

[@AveryMacQuarrie-km8or]

I would preferably do a private sever with my friends so I wouldn’t lose all my pals

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@AveryMacQuarrie-km8or I feel like there are a lot of people who would rather just run a server with their friends. I'm curious as to how they plan on running their official servers

[@NicromeShooter]

I feel like they should of gone more in a valheim route and avoided server based play entirely. Maybe with some type of matchmaking arena for people to do pvp if they want.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@@NicromeShooter I kind of agree. Official online servers took me by surprise in the video I made covering their FAQ. 32 player cap seems small and official online servers is a risky move even with larger server caps. Rust and ark official servers for example

[@NicromeShooter]

Yeah very small hard to do much with. Not to mention people are gonna be practilly unable to play on the same server whenever they want for awhile and arks case I think the only reason people put up with that type of gameplay was because of it really being the only game to tame dinosaurs in such an interactive manner. I even got grappled by it and just wished they made an open world singleplayer game with similar features and a story.@@FringePatriotGaming As why Atlas failed so hard cause it's gimmick didn't work at all for server based play.

[@bobshwinkle3083]

Gonna be honest when I first saw this game I thought it was just a meme and was gonna be a flop but the more I hear about it the I'm actually invested in playing it. Will definitely have to try it out

[@FringePatriotGaming]

I think there is a good chance this turns into a banger. Nda was lifted two days ago for people in pocketpairs creator program. I was too lazy to even apply but have been avoiding those videos so I still don't know exactly what the game looks or plays like but I hopefully they nailed it. 2 days till public launch

[@Stonecat92]

Do the offline servers have peer to peer coop with friends? I thought the devs said that 1-4 coop was just direct invite and then 4-32 required either playing on an official server or renting your own private server, if I just wanted to play coop with 1-2 friends am I going to be forced into the crowded dedicated ones?

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yes you can co op with up to 3 other people, 4 including yourself on your server and their servers I believe via invite. I should have mentioned those but wasn't comparing that to anything so I didn't but you are right you can play with some friends via invite

[@Stonecat92]

@@FringePatriotGaming Awesome ^^. I appreciate the clarification!

[@key.2358]

​@@FringePatriotGaming what if im logout from the game, are the 3 friends im invited can still play on those server?

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@key.2358 if it's your world you invited them to no they would get booted. If your bud invited you to their world they could play when you left

[@imonyourside8376]

Definitely going with non official server hosted by me, you should be able to host that on your own pc setting your own rules and choosing which mods to run with your friends. Exactly how it's meant to be played.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yeah up to 3 of your friends you can invite each other between each of your servers. From what I've heard the "offline" server you host has difficulty sliders. You can still invite up to 3 people to that server and "turn it online"

[@DjDoxastic]

@@FringePatriotGaming you just gotta keep your xbox running as the host ..so a bit of a pain trying to play with a few friends unless the host is an absolute homie and stays logged in infinitely cause when the host logs out everybody gets the boot..would be great if you could have a server between 2 to 5 people that could just log in to a shared custom world whenever they please, as if everbody is the "host"

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@DjDoxastic yeah you could host one via a third party but that's on pc. Eventually you should be able to host a server via a third party but it would cost. I think it's like 8 bucks a month for a 4 person server to be hosted

[@Legionary219]

Honestly talking about wars between guilds and clans has me excited, I'm probably just going to be playing on offline servers with friends but I'll be looking forward to the first videos of full on brawls large groups of players.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

it is going to be interesting to see how the official servers play out that is for sure, especially when pvp launches. pvp not being there at launch almost adds anticipation to the battles that are coming

[@hado33_]

i mean can you even really have clan wars if theres 32 players max on a server and guilds are 20 people max? idk.

[@boywonderqytv7858]

private hosted server is always the way to go with this kind of game

[@montanastax]

Legendaries are on a cooldown after being caught, no way to get the legendary u want on an online server at launch.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Online servers gonna be wild that's for sure. I'm wondering if spawn rates or anything will be changed to accommodate

[@jamesgolden7317]

It does NOT allow offline play. I just bought the game about 2 hours ago, and unless I keep the Xbox connected. It closes the game out, and won't allow any play.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

I've heard several Xbox users with this problem I'm assuming it's a bug because I can play offline using steam. I'll let you know if anything about that being a bug comes out

[@jamesgolden7317]

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@jamesgolden7317 seems a lot of Xbox users are experiencing this I'm assuming it's a bug. Someone said they are playing on Xbox offline by skipping the error messages.

[@jamesgolden7317]

@FringePatriotGaming I click B after the error pops up, and it still won't let it start. I was also told that if I got the $1 game pass thing. It'll allow me to set my game to offline, and it'll play. It didn't work so far.

[@Techshadowzz]

If they had like 100 server player count this game would be considered an mmo and it feels like one. I hope they increase the server cap down the road.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

My server last night was not spawning wild pals. Then all the servers seemed to shut down idk if they could handle 100 people in a server. Also idk why wild pals weren't spawning in mine

[@brentmorgan1608]

They've been having the same issues with the new Ark, honestly just might be nitrados horrible servers, hopefully they open it up to other server hosts

[@DBTHEPLUG]

I think the map is too small to do that.

[@Reaper0123]

Good points all around. Would be interesting to see some of those "Civilzation-experiments" done in Palworld if possible one day. They're a riot to watch in Minecraft.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Right higher pop servers would be needed I think

[@V2slimedraco]

Im definitely just playing private with two of my friends cause i rather have less people that i enjoy playing with then more who might ruin my experience

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yeah I'm excited to see how official servers end up workin

[@edouardesc]

I tried online servers first but there are only few pals on starting areas due to the fact that so much people are farming them

[@FringePatriotGaming]

People farming them and one a palbox goes down it stops all spawns in that palboxes area. Also the server I was on was bugged for a day and pals weren't spawning anywhere. Then the next day my progress was wiped. Not the server just my progress lol so I went to my own "offline" server

[@m7mdrashid760]

for me I like the server been alive with lots of ppl running around and exploring of course the first 2 weeks will be flooded with lots of toxic players but after that it'll be an awesome game to chill and talk to others and make few new friends can't depends on my irl friends on this game XD

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yeah that's a good point. I'm hoping the day 1 server problems aren't too terrible

[@jilliancrawford7577]

I'm confused at how things like hunting alpha pals would work with large servers or multi-player. I would think there would be a massive issue with griefing and frustration with the respawn timers, especially if the game crashing resets the timer to where some alpha pals can't respawn!

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yeah if someone or a group of people are farming the alphas it can be hard to land one. That's not the main problem though. Official servers are dead until there's an anti cheat

[@TimeLordNat]

you can't play offline on Xbox i tired starting it offline and just says connect to internet and i brought the game and it does not work offline i want to play it offline but it won't let me

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Interesting. You are second perdon to report that imma dig in their discord and see if it's a bug or intentional

[@TimeLordNat]

Sweet as let me know if you find anything hopefully it is just a bug@@FringePatriotGaming

[@MySplatterhouse]

I've run into the same situation, the console is designated as my home console, and it just tells me to connect to the network in order to play.🤔

[@TimeLordNat]

Hopefully its just a issue that can be fixed because if your wifi were to go down fora bit you can still play it normally hopefully it gets fixed with an update would like to be play instead of going online every single time offline would be nice i mean it can be played offline as i heard it can but nope that is not working @@MySplatterhouse

[@BigLehbowski]

If you downloaded it from GamePass instead of purchasing the game, that could be the problem.

[@Jake-ky4yj]

Are you able to make private servers? Like what if I just want to play with a small group of like maybe 5-10 people?

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yes I believe at a rental cost though. Yes and it seems they will have tools to do so. They being pocketpair. I'm not 100% sure though

[@Jake-ky4yj]

@@FringePatriotGaming hopefully in the future there will be a way of having your own personally hosted server. I always hated pvp in survival games. I don't get to play much so having another person come in and destroy what I've worked on never sat well. I'm looking forward to this one because it seems more of a base builder exploration type game. And not too heavy on survival like ark was. Having pets do most of the actual work while I manage it is more my style, but it's still more fun with friends.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@Jake-ky4yj you should be able to host a server for up to 32 people that is private. It just probably has a rental fee but im not entirely sure

[@Acesahn]

I play on a hosted server... its awful. The ping is stuck at 270-240. You can't use the grapple hook. You can't drop from a flying mount and pull your parachute. Climbing is iffy because the lag might throw you back over the edge.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Are you in NA connecting to China servers or something why is the ping stuck that high. Also by hosted do you mean hosted by someone you know or do you mean one of the official servers

[@IncubiAkster]

Hosted servers are really only for communities/guilds/friends, otherwise you should really just play official servers or on your own. Otherwise what really is the point.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

True

[@nohist1236]

My friend is hosting the server I'm playing on. The bugs in the game and lack of optimization causes a lot of crashes. There's also problems with how the game handles what happens when other people are playing when you're not on. I always come back to my pals all depressed and weakened since the AI bugs out when you're not there.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

On online or official servers the server is constantly running and official servers have the difficulty cranked a bit. From what I understand when you log off your pals keep working and if they don't have everything they need to stay happy they will all get sick. Even on my offline server if I have everything my pals need and I run em while I afk for awhile they all get sick. I think they over do it on official servers because of the rule set. Idk about the one you are playing on because it's being hosted the rules might be easier or even harder idk

[@nohist1236]

@@FringePatriotGaming Our server settings are pretty close to solo normal rates. Pals will also be moved above your palbox and get stuck when you're not logged in but other people are, so they can't reach food boxes. Self sustainable bases will not work properly if youre not logged on. I've noticed this happen after the server crashes and gets restarted. P2P 4 player is probably a lot less frustrating and more worth it for most people unless you're playing with a large group at least for now

[@emiliogarcia8744]

Im excited it reminds me of ark while everyone was in a tribe I was a caveman running around pumped with mele, health, and speed juts imagine flying around five bombing people

[@ImThugNasty420]

So who is hosting the private/custom servers? Nitrado?

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Idk who pocketpair is using to host their servers. I think for ones you want to host you should have a choice in which 3rd party server host you want to use

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Last I checked the discord bucky said they haven't given any server code t any 3rd parties yet so be careful. But that could have changed by now

[@ImThugNasty420]

@@FringePatriotGaming they have a server provider for their previous game craftopia, and that site is now advertising preorders for dedicated servers

[@benjaminconvery1293]

Also anytime you want to play you have to get a new invite code everyday to join you server

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Seriously? For a community server? You sure that isn't something the server admin put in to help prevent cheaters? This is the first I'm hearing of this

[@Persuasion94]

I agree not playing on a server makes the game boring. I love the game so far and it has been fun playing with family, but they have already stopped playing and now I'm alone and it just feels empty. I do love the grind and solo it was fun for a few hours, but then I got to around level 30 and I explored the whole map, saw most of the pals around, killed bosses, and made my base to craft everything pretty efficiently... but you miss multiplayer aspects these survival games need. That sense of sharing time spent on your base, or your pals. And without other players, the world definitely feels empty.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Yeah we need moderated public community servers but the game needs pvp first

[@MySplatterhouse]

Oh snap character customization AND I can play OFFLINE!?!? I may have to give this a go!! 👍🏿👍🏿

[@FringePatriotGaming]

This game is amazing. I would give it a shot for sure.

[@reaperdragon1]

I will most likely be playing this with my family in the 4 player mode. Do we have any idea how that works? Is there a tether to the host, can you mess with the game setting, etc.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

So on your pc you would boot up a world this is your offline world you can adjust the settings idk which ones for sure. You can then invite 3 other people to that map. Your family can do the same with their own maps but if they want to continue on the family map whoever started that map has to be on. It's by invite as well so you would just invite them there if I'm not mistaken

[@reaperdragon1]

@FringePatriotGaming so kinda like minecraft. Do you know if there is a tether like ark has? An Area around the host that the invited have to stay inside? Thanks for responding BTW 😁

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@reaperdragon1 not a problem I always try to respond, idk if there is a tether system or how big the map is. Hopefully if there is a tether system it's a big area that you can spread out. Yes practically exactly like minecraft. Rumor is you claim land to build on official servers so idk if raiding will even be a thing. Also idk if you claim land on your own server, it might just be free build for everyone

[@reaperdragon1]

Idk how much I'll play on big servers but if I really like it and it isn't too full of cheaters I'll check it out lol

[@FringePatriotGaming]

@ghostface9171 oh right you could potentially collude with a few people to keep others out of the area but from what I understand is it's 1 palbox per guild until level 10 palbox then you get to put down a second base also at level 15 palbox you unlock a third base. It takes some time to level a palbox so I don't think it will have the same problem as ark

[@Obsidianoak]

I think invite only / friends list mp would be ok. Or something similar to monster hunter world - you could still have the duels ect but could keep it know groups. I flat out won't buy a game that doesn't have solid offline single player due to the griefers/ hackers ect. And generally crappy internet. Plus I feel that the mmo style is an excuse used to get people to pay for low content worlds abound with griefers. That said I do favor games with strong world building and character development- so... different genre I guess.

[@antmandj1760]

Can this game be played completely without internet? Or When this game fails or shuts down for whatever reason and taken off the market. Will i still be able to play and own the game for years to come? Or is it just a waste of 30$ thats eventually gonna go poff. Cuz why not just build the game around single-player 1st and then multiplayer? Why dose everything need an internet connection to play a single-player game? Remind me when this game is shutting down for better or worse. And if you guys can still play this game. OFFLINE!

Biggest con for online servers .. the XP gain and egg hatching times are horrid, boss respawn timers are map wide not player bound so you'll be constantly fighting looking for a boss that hasn't been killed yet, and the biggest issue ever is frequent server wipes, take you about 50 hours to reach level 30 only to wake up one morning and the servers been wiped and you've lost all your shit .

I think a big con for me on offline servers is having access to all the settings. A lot of time when I play a new game I struggle with the first step of setting up difficulty. That it kills my desire to play. Not to mention on server based games like this they give you so many other settings that you can play with to make things easier or harder. The best thing I like to see to fix this is to provide a reward for playing with default settings on easy, normal or hard and then providing rewards for harder difficulties. Like cosmetics. It also pretty apparent that games that don't have settings like these generally do better. Like souls-likes and most rogue-lites. Also Pokemon and most monster tamers I know have don't have difficulties either. Games that have fun with difficulty rewards like Dead Space 2 is really great. As playing on hard difficulties rewards you. You aren't just doing it to suffer. I think difficulty settings just heavily undermine the experience of games. As if things are too easy or hard it can be because the difficulty you set it on and it ruins the authentic experience unless you are rewarded for it. I know I'm gonna struggle with this when playing offline or with friends.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

I prefer games with no difficulty settings as well like in valheim when it first came out you had access to all the commands which kind of made the game pointless if you knew them. And in palworld for example if you could just creative mode the settings that would kind of be the same thing. I don't honestly know what difficulty settings are available but if there are some I agree with you about cosmetics earned via harder playthroughs. There is nothing better than earned cosmetics

[@NicromeShooter]

They were letting a few people play early and stream it today and I can confirm they will have easy, normal, and hard for settings. The difference between the difficulties mostly seems to be around if you drop loot or not and if your pals die or just get knocked out. With various other custom settings beside the difficulty, like xp gain and day and night length. Also I didn't know that about Valheim but I try to avoid command menus like the plague.@@FringePatriotGaming

@NicromeShooter oh I read it now that makes sense difficulties wise. I'm wondering what official servers will look like on the 19th

how will the story line work with official servers

I'm assuming the story line is loose like valheim. No direct story but each faction leader being similar milestone wise to valheim bosses. I'm not sure though

No they are going to be shipping the update via UPS. Expected delivery time is two weeks. Take the floppy disc you get and slap that in that ought to fix it.

You can't even build a palbox online because all official servers are full

[@FringePatriotGaming]

They need ironed out a bit that's for sure. I lost two days of progress on an official server because my character got deleted so I just moved to my own offline one

[@FILOdeathlord]

Griefing by blocking an area is childs play wait for them to box in spawn points and with no PvP yet you can't break the wall so a single group could run a whole public server (seen this tactic on ark for certain areas not the whole map)

[@FringePatriotGaming]

Hopefully they are moderating the servers at launch

[@zelphermm]

Okay the way the servers work is your character can move to any server at anytime and pvp wont be in the game like rust if there is any it will be arena style for sure.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

You can't take your base or pals between official servers I don't think

Full loot as well? With raiding ark/rust style? Idk I'm up in the air as to if that would work. Flying pals would be the goto for everything and their cool downs are crazy when you fly em. Some things would have to be tweaked for sure

[@LOLSNAPED]

Oh that a good point. What would be s good cap. At 32 player per server maybe 8? 4 even maybe jeesh 32 is not a lot to work with

[@RRonanS]

They could do simillar to ark survival

[@sonic-bb]

Idk if this game is really built for pvp tho. Considering some pals stats far dominate other pals. So just grab a bunch of end game pals and ur good

[@ApocalypseHistorian]

I just want to warn anyone who hasnt played ark. 1 Guild will own a whole server. Every official server will be owned by 1 specific guild. They will spawn trap you. They will use max level pals to destroy your starter base. They will extort you for pals, metal, and gold coins

[@FringePatriotGaming]

If this ends up having a rust/ark style pvp that sounds about right. If it's more like dueling rather than raiding then maybe some healthy competition can form on the official servers

?

Aside from I could say yep... day 1 servers were a mess just like everywhere other games launch

[@rogerdouglas2306]

damnit i wanted this game to be good but unfortunately its going to fail because it has difficulty sliders. idk why companies think its a good idea to make their games ez mode from day 1. why would u waste ur time with running slow or losing everything on death. or farming monsters when u can just change a slider and save urself days of work. just give us all the same game without cheats enabled!

[@ryproar11]

Official servers have no sliders. Solo/offline will but the official will be standard for everyone.

[@FringePatriotGaming]

It makes more sense for offline servers but at least official servers will be vanilla if those work properly
