I have a weekly game with my wife, nephew and brother. My Nephew has 4 other weekly games with other friends.
This is not a pug experience game but one you play with friends. This is not an MMO or such where you need people to play with, rather you want people to play with. Hence a coop.
Multiplayer is not dead, PUGS might be dying off but with friends it is alive and well.
This is the reasoning that made the last D&D game flop fail. I am saddened that a moderator, and I suppose the developers feel this way. You did not promote or design this game FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE D&D ONLINE GAMER.
You rented an IP and SCORED because you called it Baldurs Gate 3.
Remember Sword Coast Legends????? Same disaster for players because the game population purchased a different game than the publisher built/promoted. And the devs were blind and deaf to the playerbase. How is BG3 experience different for multiplayer?
YOU FORGOT GUILDS.
YOU FORGOT MULTIPLAYER.
YOU BUILT WHAT YOU WANTED TO BUILD, player community be damned and moved onto another game for the most part.
Where are the multiplayer features that the community has asked for FOR YEARS Zentu ???
Where are the multiplayer features that the community is asking for now???
Dont argue with the community that we purchased the WRONG GAME like you just did with the poster your responded too! That's BAD KARMA just like the Sword Coast Legends mods and devs did.
You are SO wrong, I don't even know where to begin...
First of all, what makes you even think that every game needs to be a multiplayer game? Where did you get that ridiculous idea? I can't play story rich games with strangers, I just can't. I am so happy there finally is a good story rich solo game out, AND IT HAS COOP! What else do you need? Why does everything need to be monetized into MMO elements? Go play Diablo or Destiny if you like that, and please let solo enjoyers enjoy this game. Not everything needs to have multiplayer elements. The worst part is, you talk like your opinion is fact, and even attack a moderator and the developers about this lol. Blinded by your own passion, you think you know everyone's needs. If this is not your game, fine, nothing wrong with that, but please don't force that multiplayer crap into every game. You have zero proof that people want that crap in every game.

Every game needs to be a multiplayer game? Where did you read that in my post? I was excited to hear a new Baldurs Gate was coming out with the modern tech, and was promoted heavily as a single player experience and a multi player coop experience. Right here on the official mobos FAQ section exclaims: “Yes, the game offers a multiplayer mode that focuses on cooperative gameplay. You can team up with your friends or other players online and embark on exciting co-op adventures, tackle challenging quests together, and strategize as a team to overcome formidable foes. Experience the game’s immersive world in a collaborative multiplayer setting”
Swing and a miss. We did not get that.2.
Why does everything need to be monetized into MMO elements? Go play Diablo or Destiny? I made no arguments that BG3 should have been an MMO, or more like one.

you think you know everyone's needs. I have a thread posted in this very section ASKING THE COMMUNITY what THEY FEEL needs to be added or changed to the game's multiplayer functionality to make it better for THEMSELVES and their groups. Never would I attack a dev or moderator, especially one that's doing this gig for free. Its time consuming, I've been there myself for another D&D title, Neverwinter.
But I DID challenge them and hold them to the fire... and gave them a very real example of the last time I saw something this happen. It did not end well. I want to see the game not only do well, but FULFILL the hopes of millions who had high hopes of playing this game with guildies, friends and families. The multiplayer experience is a clusterbunk of poor design and just cries out as an incomplete stranded aborted mission. There's a problem here. Its not being addressed with fervor.

"dont force that multiplayer crap into every game. You have zero proof that people want that crap in every game." Oh boy. So you came to the multiplayer section of the BG3 mobos to volley against multiplayer mode and anyone who wants to support "that crap"?? What are you a field general for Ronald McDonald's Happy Meal Brigade?! LOL!
Sorry man, please read the comments in its entirety and think of a good reply before you type.
