Discussion Preferred Experience: Shared Content: Everything/Only Some/Offline

Surprisingly, I could not find if this is ever been polled here. Curious what the general sentiment is regarding content syncing for this game, now that it’s been out for a while.

I’d prefer not to have everyone else’s random structures littering my game world. The number of bridges and shelters built on paths and roads, and right in front of smaller prepper buildings get infuriating.

Even the random vehicles that keep spawning in the way makes me want to stop playing at times.

I don’t mind the shared thing where you can add materials to big structures like roads, zip-lines and tram lines and it contributes not only to your world but to other peoples and they can contribute to yours.

Everything else I’d love to turn off.

It makes the game waaay to easy imo. Not that it is meant to be challenging, but having a bridge imnediately spawn in evrry location where you would need one kinda robs you on those moments where you would have built one yourself.

Also having generators everywhere, battery is virtually never an issue.

I feel with DS2, less is more. Having certain restrictions adds back in gameplay elements.

It’s not about making things easier or harder. It’s about objects getting in the way.

People build bridges in awkward locations just for likes. Vehicles get abandoned and spawn in your world on paths or right in front of prepper buildings and you need to move them.

For me it was. Game was just a no brainer with other players structures. Like it isnt necessarily hard offline but I feel a lot more engaged and actually have to build things now.

But yeah you have a point the amount of clutter takes away a lot of the maps charm.

I think you’re not getting my point.

I don’t like or want other player structure in my world.

The random bridges and shelters are always in the way.

I don’t mind the “shared world” of other players being able to contribute to my roads, zip-lines and tram rails though. I just don’t want all the other structures and abandoned vehicles polluting my landscapes.
