killa17456 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 So, I just saw recently that SCS announced they are officially working on making their own multiplayer which is cool, but what do you think is going to happen with truckersMP? I have no doubt that truckersMP is going to remain the more popular version of multiplayer but it still makes me scratch my head on how the outcome of the official multiplayer is going to compare to this one. I've always thought SCS was going to team up with truckersMP considering the amount of work they've put into the mod and how flawlessly and popular they've become. But that doesn't seem to be the case after the announcement of the official multiplayer. What's everyone's thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuaad Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well, TruckersMP is a different platform than SCS multiplayer. Yeah, SCS MP is cool but not in the level of TruckersMP. In TMP, we need to follow real life road rules but in SCS MP, there are no rules. You know, we always need to follow rules in every single step of our life. Without rules, everything would be the worst. Also, you can meet with players across the world at TruckersMP. Although TruckersMP has some issue but we need to give them some time for improvement. In my opinion, SCS MP never reach the level if everything remains the same. Some player maybe started to play SCS MP. But still, as I mentioned above, rules are a big thing.

XioPlay Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hello @killa17456, First of all, I would like to remind you that the official multiplayer mode created by SCS Software is no longer just an announcement. It has already been released for more than a week. Moreover, we don't have enough hindsight to say anything about it yet. It's far too early to say whether or not it will have an impact in the long run. Of course, many people are curious to try out this new multiplayer mode at the moment. But I personally think that all the players who have created a TruckersMP account in order to play with real players, to meet people, to be part of a VTC, etc. will surely not experience the same pleasure. By the way, regarding VTCs, which is a concept that was largely created thanks to the TruckersMP community, it will be impossible for them to make the transition to the SCS mutliplayer (unless they are only 8 or 12 within their VTC). So to conclude I would say that for the time being we should wait. Maybe this new mode is just a hype that will fade over time. Kind regards, XioPlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ Xris Aurora ~ Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yet another controversial subject in here. I don't really care about SCS convoys feature, haven't tried it yet, I'm not at all interested in it. Always been a TMP player, I don't like the SP gameplay as well, so yeah. TMP all the way, I'm remaining loyal to TMP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash.exe Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Even if SCS has already released Convoy multiplayer, I don't think it would make a big difference to how many people are playing on TruckersMP. Some people may like this new convoy update but some people may not. I would say the convoy update is probably more suitable if you have friends to play with and would like to experience some AI traffic. Whereas, if you intend to drive on your own or in a large VTC convoy, TruckersMP may do better here due to its large community and large server sizes. However, you never know what SCS may do next regarding multiplayer. So I guess it's better waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelforgamers Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Most of the players already shifted to scs official multiplayer because you can see very low players even in peak hours.So here's the consequences.What more do I need to say,you can have a look at the peak hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the case with any previous game version update. Considering that many players would automatically update the game but would not be able downgrade due to issues that it can cause with the profiles, I am not surprised that the online during the peak hours is quite low right now.

CHRISTINA Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 As the SCS MP is official, there are rules for driving, speed, AI, respect for others etc, while the TMP doesn't demand that much, and gives you the freedom to choose between playing alone or in a convoy. I started at TMP in 2014 and, as long as TMP doesn't "resign" me, I'll be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 ^^^ I would say that it's the exact opposite. TruckersMP runs their servers, moderates them, have a set of rules that users must obey. The SCS's Convoy mode is hosted by a player, only that player can decide the rules and even if they can "remove" those in the convoy that don't follow them, these "convoy-breakers" are not really banned from Convoy mode, they only need to find another "public" one to join.

KeELONMUSK Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Here is my opinion on both Traffic - If you like following rules on TMP (speedlimits, signals, etc...) you will notice how most of the time the roads can get pretty empty unless you drive in an area that's populated. But not on SCSMP as there are AI always surrounding you which feels more realistic than having an empty road to drive on. Trolls - As you may or may not know, people like to swerve into you narrowly missing you or completely ram into you by either turning 90 degree's to the right or left or literally straight into you. Reporting them is the right thing to do, however that might take a while for them to be kicked/banned unless you have an admin watching. It still gets the job done, but not instantly. But this is not the case on SCSMP. If either you or a friend host a convoy server, the host has the power to kick that troll out of the server. Mods - SCSMP did say in a livestream that they were to allow mods in the future. But for now, local modding is a thing similar to TMP. Servers - SCSMP is limited to 8 as of now, but in a livestream, they did mention that they will increase that number.

_raffaele_ Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I think nothing "special" will happen, the only thing that i think will become a bit noticable it's the change in the activity overall or numbers, but nothing drastic to kill one or the other option _raffaele_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote And now servers are half empty cause lemme guess many players are trying out the new SCS features etc. Sooner or later they'll return back. So let's bet about that when 1.41 gets supported by TMP, lots of players will get back and everything's gonna return to normal operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stappat Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I think the SCS MP is not comparable with TMP. TMP excists already 7 years and is very popular. You can drive with thousands of other players in 1 server. The SCS MP is only for 20 players. Also locally hosted. It is a nice addition from SCS, but it will not replace TMP (yet?)

Nothing can replace TMP. Many have tried and failed. TruckersMP has been a strong reason SCS made so much money. With out the multiplayer that TMP made, I don't think they would have gotten this far today. Heck, SCS asked for help from a TMP Dev to make the ATS MP. So even though player count is low. We have seen this before with the new update and people unable to return due to profile issues. It'll be back to 100 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 @Angelforgamers How can you be so sure that they didn't? Do you have any contacts inside SCS that told you about this? They surely have the expertise with the games and experienced developers, but until recently, they had never tried the MP mode. If they know that someone in TruckersMP has the expertise or the knowledge, why would they not ask for help or even hire that person? They did in the past, when they hired "Rootkiller", the creator of TruckersMP. I can't say if they did it to try implementing MP into the game or not, because I don't know, but it's clear that they would have no problems in hiring anyone that can be an asset in their development team, just like any other companies.

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm sure that they hired Rootkiller, yes, it was widely commented back in the day. What's there to think about that?

MarkON Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 11 minutes ago, CryingGodly said: New players will not know about TMP. Hey, In my opinion, many new players Euro Truck Simulator 2 or / and American Truck Simulator will sooner or later find out about the existence of TruckersMP. It is worth remembering that TMP has its own channels in social media,thanks to which they reach many SCS Software game enthusiasts (using tags, shares or likes). Additionally, they are active and visible on websites such as Twitch (live-streams) or YouTube (video). It's worth to say that a huge work to promote TMP is also performed by the community of players itself, which has its social media of friends, vtc, etc. It leads to constantly increases the number of people actively staying on the servers. In addition, I believe that amazing, unique events such as Real Operatons and new features will also attract the attention of new people. So to summarize, I personally believe that many new players will be aware of TruckersMP, but whether they decide to join and be active in the community is up to them. I keep my fingers crossed for the greater community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
