Hi everyone was just thinking what would everyone’s opinion be on if they changed the game into a multiplayer game even tho it will never happen but a what if they did. And would it be a positive or negative impact on the game. Me personally I kinda feel like it would make it twice as fun interacting with other players as when your driving on the routes it feels like your alone and the AI trains don’t go past as frequent as real life. So having actual players on a map driving past while doing that route would make it a bit better. I don’t know I’m just after peoples opinions but that’s mine.
Well for starters this ought to be in Suggestions where it has cropped up from time to time, with a discussion just recently you could have joined in rather than starting a new topic. The general consensus seems to be MP would add little to TSW. The experience in games like SimRail and Run 8 is not that great. There are far more urgent issues DTG need to be sorting out with the core game than figuring out a MP side. Not to mention they don’t even have resources to moderate the forum 24/7, let alone police MP servers with people out to cause trouble, as seen in most MP games.
Why don’t u become a DTG for Australia because seems like your fairly knowledgeable about everything. I see u having a say on nearly every forum you’d be a good start for a DTG for Australia might help us Australians actually get somewhere even tho we ain’t gonna get anywhere anyways coz no one can’t a licence or approval which sucks. Should think about it man you’ll make everyone from Australia that happy and if your from Goulburn then that’s even better considering you would have the train line running straight through there.
I would like multiplayer, but I always imagined it to be a separate game mode, with everything we have currently still open as an option.
I think if we ever get multiplayer it would be great if you can signal too instead of just wave to someone when you pass them and never see them again. you will create a copy of Simrail but that's the only way I see multiplayer happen. without a dispatcher. dynamic track choosing and delays carrying over multiple routes like Stellwerksim has. multiplayer will not add much for the insane development cost it needs in this already buggy game. why not fix dispatcher mode first or any of the other unplayable trains
I also made a treath about multiplayer- I would like it! But indeed, there are still a way to much bugs that need to be fixed. When a MP will come, it will come whit many new bugs indeed. But still I agree-I wan tmulitplayer.
Nee way man! Bet u love a bottle of dog and a bag o Tudor man I'm a Geordie myself so let's leave the forum guessing haha But as for the Multiplayer aspect of TSW5 It would be good to be able to switch between being TM and Driver with 1 friend On the route But a full multiplayer server of people driving trains and guards managing them Would end In disaster Guards going afk at stations leaving drivers stranded Drivers going AFK causing reds and stopping the network it just wouldn't work unfortunately Or even just a new player just slowly going down the line delaying everyone The Complaints would be endless and the only way to fix it would be to break immersion and GHOST the train causing problems
Multiplayer is not coming to TSW. It has been explained many times. You cant add múltiplayer to the current single player TSW. You need to rewrite all the game so it is a multiplayer game and then make it possible that each train has an automatic driver. It is a totally different game design.
yes agree, but a way to invite people is posseble, so u can kick.ban afk people and only ur friends can join like steams p2p
