So far I’m loving this game when I play solo. However, playing with friends is not great.
The loot system is super frustrating. I’d much prefer each player sees their own random drops instead of us having to constantly discuss who gets which loot and trading everything back and forth. Same issue with rewards for Bounties/Challenges. Only the player who turns them in gets the loot which leads to us having to decide who gets which reward. If it was individual rewards and loot, it would be much better. Because at this point, it’s discouraging us from doing bounties and things together because why bother when we can both get the rewards if we play solo.
We are constantly accidentally damaging each other so for most fights, we end up just having 1 person back off until the other needs a break. Which is frustrating since enemies are harder and more frequent. This isn’t the biggest deal but it isn’t great.
I also wish there was a mini map display so I can see where my friends are without having to either pull up the big map and zoom in or try to find the tiny icon on the screen.
When one player talks to a merchant, it won’t let the other player which means we have to take turns shopping. This is super annoying and time consuming.
It would also be nice if when one player talks to an NPC, if it would show the dialogue boxes for both players - right now it seems like that only happens for major quests so we keep missing out on smaller side convos when playing together.
In game chat would also be nice but we can just continue using Discord if we need to.
Great game but it’s definitely discouraging co-op right now
