Campaign Co-op

We worked hard to deliver this first experience for playing co-op in a party with a friend and we plan to keep improving it.
Since we didn't set out to have COOP in the campaign, and had to make some deep changes in our systems to account for your interactions, progression, and the many instances in which you unlock the next stage of the campaign, were you to play alongside another player.
We had to come up with some creative solutions for these reasons - and are still polishing some aspects of it - as there are some glitches still present. They occur due to our technology setup and we are still ironing coding wrinkles out. To minimize the frustration of possible glitches here is how it works.

  • Once two players enter any mission in co-op, the first one to load is proclaimed the “instance owner” by the server.
    This is not related to the party leader or to suggesting missions in Pantheon.
  • This “instance owner” is in charge. They will be the one to trigger all of the interactions, dialogues, and events during a campaign battle.
  • KNOWN ISSUE 1: In some cases, the “instance owner” dies and cannot be revived at some points of the
    mission because of how our revival system works, and the next quest event cannot be triggered.
    Future Hotfix: We will address this in some of the hotfixes to come by making revive a manual action by players who are alive after the encounter.
  • KNOWN ISSUE 2: If the “instance owner” gets disconnected from the game, that mission cannot be finished because the other player cannot trigger mission events.
    Future Hotfix: We will try to address this by making a check to see if the other player has the same quest, then transfer ownership to that remaining player.


The Campaign can now be played cooperatively in its entirety, alongside one other player.
Missions still work as they previously did and support 2 player co-op.
