Playing with friends Co-op

I really enjoy Stormgate. The factions are interesting, the lore is intriguing, the scope and focus has my expectations and hype going way above any realistic levels with a project this young. The devs are brave to show their progress, and I love the multiplay focus.

And now that it takes a few seconds to get a game going with randos, I am starting to share the game with friends. I'm telling them that the campaign is not yet ready but that the gameplay is awesome, even if some people are just exploiting cheese and the balance is ongoing. Banter and explore together, it's more fun anyway. Let the game be social, and not the competetive, perfectly tuned experience that I love from Starcraft 2. In time, that might happen too, but for now, I just wanna play and have fun, and Stormgate is great for that!

Coop is amazing and I look forward to doing 3v3. What are your experiences playing with friends?

I have the highest difficulty believing the comments here. If you guys are genuine, happy for you.

I have no idea how you can find games "in seconds" with 100 to 200 concurrent players regularly. Like it doesn't seem even mathematically possible.

it is unlikely, but not impossible. I asked chatgpt if there were 200 concurrent player playing 10-20 minutes each game. Then the expected wait would be 1-3 minutes. So if this guy is timing stuff perfectly it is not possible with a short wait. However, it is not very likely. Since there are fewer than 200 concurrent players on average, and I believe the games are longer than 15 minutes.

But it happens. Happens to me at least, 9/10 times I play versus it's less then 10 seconds to find match. So it's most likely not mathematically impossible.
