Friend Spawning, Map Shape, etc. We need to know.

[Shrapnelx]

Id like a Dev or Mod to answer this, because its been brought up before, but nobody seems to know how the fuck it works.

1.) You can no longer spawn near your friends.

I am under the impression that this feature was removed because the Devs didn't want Alt Spamming, Botting, or anything similar, understandable..

But you fucked it up.. Ive added my friend as Kin, partied with him, and we have (still are) been running for 5 hours in attempts to find each other.. Two guys where streaming i watched them for a good 2 hours as they attempted to do the same exact thing.

You couldn't find a different way to fix botting? or at least keep the arrow to locate party members? This is fucking stupid, ive wasted most of a Saturday just trying to find my friend, when back in old Haven, we would have already built a house and walls by now..

2.) Map Shape Rumors.

Destroy or Confirm these rumors of the map being 'endless' where if you run into the border, you simply continue walking on the other side of the map.

If this is true, which i doubt, it would cause even more hell into finding your friends, you cant run to a corner, meet up and then run to find a place together.

I don't want any more discussion about this, i want answers from either the Mods or Devs.

I dont see anyone buying anything until they fix the finding friends being stupid hard

Seems like this is hurting their game way more than helping it. But what can we expect from incompetent businessmen?

I expect them not to remove core features of the game to fix a problem that even the most successful games cant even solve..

Bump, still need answers.

Spawning near your friends isn't exactly a "core feature"

Bring this same argument to the Dark Souls community and you will get relentlessly shit on.

Although, I do agree, this is a pain in the ass, but I'm glad I made the base and my friend is walking. He got stuck by a river and was forced to learn swimming.


Answers from the devs? This is alpha, there's your answer. They're still trying to figure shit out by experimenting. I'm sure by the time this is in beta they will have figured out a fair way for people to find eachother.

goodjob on the 5.5 month necrothread

You can spawn by your Friends, doe, since we just today added a Wilderness Beacon that lets you do that. Learn carpentry, stone, clay, blocks and boards. It isn't hard.

Edit, yeah, also massive necro. Neat.
