Hammerwatch Discussion / How do I beat the survival mode?

« on: November 15, 2014, 11:03:57 PM »

I was trying the survival mode with 3 friends and several different combinations (All paladin, 2 paladins, 2 warlocks, etc.).
The only method that would work is having 3 paladins play until the lich is going to spawn, then have one ranger enter, buy all his damage upgrades and finish the lich. This seems like cheating to me, so I'd like to know if there is an actual working combination.

Technical Support / Bug from some patches before still existing.

Sometimes when playing with my friends and we go through a door one of the players just has "Waiting for [other players' names]" on his screen and everyone else is waiting for him. Nothing happens until the "disconnected" player uses Alt+F4 to exit and rejoin.
If this is not a problem on our side but an actual bug I will post it again under the bugs section.

Hammerwatch Discussion / Three possible features for the next patch

« on: October 07, 2014, 05:51:44 PM »

Local co-op with other players online
At the moment you can only play with players online OR you play coop on the same computer but you can't play with one friend at your computer while having two other friends join you from elsewhere. A game where this is well implemented would be Curve Fever.

Split-screen for local coop
It's a bit annoying that you have to be near each other in local co-op. You can't, for example, clear one passage while the other player deals with the other side. A split-screen would solve that.

Synchronisation with the Steam Cloud
Not much to say about this one. It's not necessary because saves in Hammerwatch are not that important but it would be nice to have it, in case the hard drive crashes.

If these features would be implemented the game would be perfect. Great job so far, I really like the new campaign.

Hammerwatch Discussion / Why are we not using the Steam discussions?

« on: October 07, 2014, 05:46:07 PM »

Can anyone explain why this forum exists? It's extremely confusing to have two forums. I posted something on the Steam discussions but don't even know if the developers will ever see it.
On Steam, we could easily create subforums for bug reports or suggestions, so why not do it there?
We should either close the Steam discussions (if that is possible) and only leave the topic that leads to this forum or close this forum. Having two forums is not very convenient for the users and the developers.

Also, this forum needs a "Suggestions" section, so there is one section about talking about the Hammerwatch at the moment and one about the Hammerwatch of the future.
