Martyn 246 Posted July 15, 2019 Yep for people with decent pc's or maybe home servers to make their own mp 8 player game on, for themselves to play on with just their mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiberius_theron 99 Posted July 15, 2019 So it's not server hosting then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krazmuze 120 Posted July 15, 2019 Its like singleplayer mode, but your coop friends can join your game. Most likely they will be leashed onto one grid or two. No need to run a server just need to have your game running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will probably be the whole map, but friends won't be able to be too far from host, as on Ark On 7/15/2019 at 9:04 PM, Tiberius_theron said: So it's not server hosting then Server hosting already exist though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INVALID 1,037 Posted July 17, 2019 It will be the entire map, there will be a tether range (limitation for playing as a server and a client at the same time), and you do have to stay on the same grid as one another; only the host will be able to initiate a transfer as the host is the server, so they control which grid is active or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is 3 peoples on different boat, and host change grid, do their boat will be transfered aswell ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We working on this too, it's currently being tested by our team so hopefully, it'll be good to go with the release of the game mode. Though you'll want to sail in tandem with the host in order to make sure you're not pulled off your boat for exceeding the tether range. It's recommended that you slow down once you get towards a transition wall, so that everyone can be together rather than sailing off into the distance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDoe 1 Posted July 17, 2019 So how does this work for saves? Are the saves and character saves local, in case you want to reload your PC image or backup for DR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saved locally in the SavedAtlasLocal folder. It's the same as the SP save. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linea 80 Posted July 18, 2019 will we be able to adjust the tether range? for example when using a lan connection and a powerful rig. in ark we had to stay really close to the host, will it go farther in atlas so we can be on different sides of one island or different island within one grid? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
