At the portal itself, you can set a number of rules right away to preserve your creations. It, like the major hubs on your island, lets you get people to the most important areas ASAP. The teleporter to open your gates or go somewhere else is, conveniently enough, a fast travel point. It means you’ll have a functional area set up so your online visitors won’t starve and could rest if they need to restore their health, as well as maybe have something cool to see or some direction. Getting started on the Isle of Awakening helps you learn to terraform your own space and get people settled with a small farm and hopefully some basic buildings. Furrowing helps you learn the basics and prepare food sources.
Think of it as a sustainability tutorial. You have to clear Furrowind Island and help get the villagers from there who agree to move to your island settled a bit. Visiting becomes this fun activity that you can’t wait to do again, and you might even have plans for things you would like to add to others’ worlds that may not fit in your own.įirst, Dragon Quest Builders 2 requires you to get a little experience with the game before you can just hop into multiplayer. In Dragon Quest Builders 2, there are all of these little things that make the idea of working together even more attractive. It is much too expensive for a 'friends-and-family mode', the slave ship tutorial (and possibly IOA as well) should be optional after being done at least once, and cut-scenes should allow skipping.Games where you can build and create things can be fun with friends, as it provides a creative and leisurely activity to enjoy together while also sharing your own developments with them. The near-deserted islands encountered in DQB2 don't really allow for learning except through NPC encounters.) (DQB3 might fix this by having a single repository for NPCs to give advice, in the form of the Quester's Rest inn.
If every player was thrown that far into the game with no background instruction, then the NPCs would need to explain how this stuff works and there's enough complaints about how they overexplain things already. And at least one player needs to know how things like the Bottomless Pot, crops, and blueprints work anyway so I don't see that being a problem. So co-op can be accessed "near instantly" for all but one of the players if you do this trick. Given the major importance of party makeup in Dragon Quest 3, a DQB3 that is presumably to be based on DQ3 would need to solve this problem and make multiplayer more accessible, much cheaper (if not free), and activated earlier in the game.Īs far as the eight hour investment, a save game to the point Multiplayer becomes available can be moved from one player to another. Most "sharing" is happening through the Noticeboard in an offline/non-coop mode because its free.

These numbers are for PC/Steam only, which makes up a tiny percentage of the player base compared to the much more popular PS4 and Switch versions.īut the game really isn't that strong on multiplayer on consoles either - requires PS Plus or Switch Online so adoption isn't widespread.

I am near positive the horrid co-op and multiplayer decision to require an 8 hour barrier to entry is part of those low numbers for an RPG CO-OP game.įix the game by making co-op instant on login or shortly thereafter finding one another. Oh yeah, and there are only 493 people online this game, with an all time peak of 3400, and a daily peak of less than 800. $240.00 turned away by a really really poor decision in game design. You have to instead do 2 islands of content to unlock multiplayer. #3 - And next All login and play together near instantly or shortly thereafter. #2 - Give them to your friends and family
$59.99 for a game that I only want to build and do some fun stuff in with my family is pretty much a game killing decision. I was going to buy the game, 4 copies for us to play with our kid until I learned it takes going through hours of content to unlock that.
