Really interested in the game, but I didn’t understand something on the Steam page. Is it going to be playable on a server only, or is there also an “offline” option for coop and/or single player?
I ask as a player with limited time so being able to have my “own” game that I can save and come back to makes a difference.
External link →Will Friends be able to join on the fly? Or can one friend Join monday, another wednesday and saturday both Join to Play as three?
You will be able to play multiplayer on release. You can play up 10 people on one server, but recommended is 1-5. When you create a server, you can play by yourself or have your friends join you :) hope this answers your question!
thanks for your reply, i appreciate the close communication
"Creating a server" though means i need to rent a dedicated server slot (which i probably will anyways)?
Or can i, with my regular PC, be the server anytime i am running the game with "my world save" and then anyone can join?
Side Question: Will others progress be stored on my world too or will they join with "new characters" everytime they rejoin my world?
You don't have to rent a server slot, you will be able to host your own dedicated servers. Your friends can join this server even if you are offline.
You can also have a "normal" server that is only active when you are using it, and if your friends are to play on this server you have to play with them.
Their progress will be saved on your servers, and they don't have to create new characters :)
okay that clears up everything (for now ;) )
Yeah, with renting server i didn't mean neccesarily from you...was more thinking about one of those companies that rent out servers on a monthly basis to people like me that want one for a few months without the obligation to stay online
I know some companies have said that they will have servers for valheim available so that is of course also an alternative :)
Are the tools going to out on release in order to host our own server on our own hardware?
Yes :)
Thanks mate, this is literally the most hyped I have been in a long time for a game
That makes us so happy to hear! :D
Awesome news! Is there a link to download and install the DS already? And maybe some instructions
You can download it via your library in steam, make sure that it also shows "tools", downloading that should also include a PDF
From what I understand, does it mean there isn't any need of downloading any extra softwares (like hamachi and whatnot) to have friends playing over with you?
yes
