First thing i will admit here is i haven't finished the game, so i'm not sure if there is some swathe of options that open up upon completion however i went to play my first game of online co-op last night after about 3 days of SP and i found it just puts you into a random mission with 3 other people, go, kill stuff, end. I just feel that the potential is there for much more than this, the ability to keep your team going through a whole story arc or something at least - the way it is now is just idk, very bare bones, no real point, no reason to come back for more. I realize there is local co-op which might allow you to do the entire story but that....local co-op is great for siblings living in the same house or something but theres a hell of a lot of adult gamers now who would much prefer to play with their friends from the comfort of their own home (in any game i mean, not specifically this)

I am a huge WH fan and i got this game as soon as it hit the psn store, it's really good however with a little more work it would be great.

Also the matchmaking on ps4 is annoying af, you sit in the matchmaking and then get a game and 1 of the 4 in the match doesn't ready up, so everyone gets booted and has to restart the whole thing sometime leaves you looking for a game for 10-15 minutes, some penalty for looking for a match and going afk too long or booting the afk player from that group and replacing them as a priority please.

We got a couple of requests to implement coop campaign in the game. This may will be a thing in the future since we naturally take the players' opinions and requests into consideration!

The multiplayer does not demand 4 players, you can join your friends and play together.

The coop suggestion to not start the counting from the beginning and let a party of 3 start a mission is indeed a good suggestion I will forward it to our devs.

The local co-op definitely needs sorting out. The whole reason I got this game was to play alongside the missus, only to find out she can't even use her own character. That is utterly disappointing and basic. Almost like multiplayer was tact on the end, and the premises were a cheap and easy shortcut.

Well, that dog won't hunt and so defo getting a refund until this shit show is sorted out.

I agree. Multiplayer seems aimless. It's like it was added so the game could be called a Multiplayer game.

These features would allow a group a friends to play co-op:

The host controls which mission is played.

The host sets the difficulty level which sets minimum level requirement.

No 4 player requirement

A 'friends only' option.

I'd bet there are probably some issues with cut scenes as well as required interactions with NPCs to progress missions that are preventing something like this from being implemented.

I haven't tried MP yet, but are you saying there is no way to invite a friend to play? You are forced to play with random players only? I would be shocked to hear there isn't a party system.. but then again at this point maybe I wouldn't be too shocked.

Also local co-op doesn't allow second character progress, they just use a pre designed henchman. For local co-op you cannot do story missions, just side missions.

Yes it is sorely lacking in terms of MP, i suppose the only reason you would play it is to show off your build or perhaps grind for a few new weapons and some credits, it also has no real scoreboard at the end, no individiual player stats. This is far from being irredeemable, i'm sure the devs could put a bit more work into it and improve the game vastly overall with better multi, also a last stand mode.

One of the biggest drawbacks for me is not being able to run the story missions with friends. D3 was great in that area of multiplayer, it is surprising to me that Neocore didn't make that happen. Mission difficulty should automatically scale with number of players obviously, but still......... disappointing.

I will say that I did try multiplayer with a friend the other day, I hosted and he joined and we both ran around and did a few missions, this was on PS4, so it appears the 4 person rule is not in affect for PS4.
