Well as for this, not all multiplayer games need to have a server based connection. Can be p2p. It's just then whoever hosting cant have a shitty connection.

If this game was 2 player local coop that would be amazing kinda like how the tekken 6 single player had it included after

If you want that, as I do too, then pre-order it and hope the number of pre-orders makes them add mulitplayer in the sequel at least. I pre-ordered mine already since I've changed my mind about waiting for it to get cheaper. I really hope they don't treat this with dlc the way they have been. I'd sign the petition if I knew they would possibly listen to the fans, haha.

I like playing these games by myself, makes it easier and alot more fun, not to mention means don't have to play with others for trophies as well.

I'm sorry but I find this dumb and pointless. This would pretty much kill the need for pawns which takes up I'm sure majority of the storyline. Also not all RPGs need to be co-op based. Sometimes it's just fun to get thrown into a story and get through major points solo and create your own adventure. If people want co-op so much just go online and look up the millions of MMORPGs. I think giving DD co-op will make it broken.

Pretty much. Plenty of games with co-op out there. Don't like it? You can go play something else, useless to complain "but ohhh this game could've been so much better with co-op!"

One of the selling points for me for this game was the pawn system, aka "co-op without actually having to deal with idiots". I hope this petition gets ignored.

Still wondering why there is no co-op?

Here ya go! Straight from twitter: A Travel Journal of Gran Soren

Just finished reading that link.

I'm fine with the game not having co-op. Just would be nice if you had the 'choice' of having real people instead of AI as your pawns.
His reasoning behind not having multiplayer were a bit strange.
Especially this part...

“The second reason is that, personally, I think that multiplayer limits your playing. Time, for example. You have to set up a time to play with your friends. You can’t really play when you want to play. You have to work around everybody else’s schedule.

Nothing in co-op makes you work around other people's schedules. Unless you make your system that way. Souls games proved this easily. You can play solo, you can summon an AI, you can summon a person, you can summon a friend.
His reason is pretty strange for him to say that since, if someone's friends they wanted to play with were not online they could just play with the AI as they would be anyway. If they wanted to wait for their friend it wouldn't be the game limiting them, it would be their choice.
The ability to co-op with a person is a bonus, not a hinderance. Anyway, I dont mind about not having multiplayer co-op. I'm still getting the game, but I just had to say something about that reasoning.

I'm curious though about that Facebook and Twitter integration he mentioned about promoting Pawns in the rift and having a screenshot along with them. That's something I didn't know, still not sure exactly what it is though.

It's all a bit strange indeed I must say but it seems like the decision was made. I just think it would have been too much of a hassle for them to implement it which I believe is understandable. No use in using a petition to switch things around now it seems.
