Looking to coop? LOOK HERE!

Please note: This thread is NOT for bugs or issues with playing Dead Island. It is for finding other players to co-op with. If you have a bug issue or an issue with playing the game, please refer to the thread titled "Common Issues and Possible Fixes". If that thread does not resolve your problem, start a new thread asking for help.

This thread is for two basic things:
1) To be a place to find other people to co-op with.
2) To answer a few questions about how to start up a co-op game.

Finding other players here:

If you are looking for people to co-op with, simply post your character name(s) and their Level. If you have other things you would like others to know, add that as well!

How to start up a Co-op game:

What do the Online settings mean?

Game Type: 1)Single Player - Play the game by yourself. Nobody can join you. 2)Cooperative - Play with your friends or people you come across in-game.
Game Visibility: 1)Internet - Play with anybody over the Internet. 2)LAN - Play with other people on the same local network (same router).
Public Slots - The number of random people that can join your game.
Private Slots - The number of friends that can join your game.
Voice Chat - Turn ON if you will be using a microphone.
VAC Secure Game - Turn ON if you want anti-cheat enabled. Recommended: ON.

What are the typical Online settings to co-op?

Game Type: Cooperative
Game Visibility: Internet
Public Slots - 3, so anybody can join.
Private Slots - 0. Unless you ONLY want friends to play.
Voice Chat - ON
VAC Secure Game - ON

How do I join my friend(s)?
To join a friend who is currently in-game, open your Steam Friends list, select the arrow next to your friend's name, and select "Join Game". However, if you are BOTH in-game, you have to be in the same area and BOTH must have Online settings: Game Type - "Cooperative", Game Visibility - "Internet"

How do I join my friend(s)?
To join somebody while you're in-game, you BOTH have to be in the same area in-game. Make sure you have at least 1 Public slot and simply follow the on-screen directions.

Note: Please remember to be patient when asking for co-op partners as everybody has different schedules.

*Quick update to clarify something relevant to these pinned threads: I am not affiliated with Techland or Deep Silver. I just enjoy Dead Island, and I had some help from a Steam forum moderator with pinning my two threads. I hardly ever come back to Dead Island. Please don't be offended if I ignore your friend request.*

**Also, I cannot alter the locked "common issues" thread without the help of a forum moderator. If you have a list of fixes/advice that is not included in that thread, I highly recommend writing up a thread for advanced troubleshooting or game tips and seeking out a moderator to pin your thread.**

Hi, my character is level 19 and I still think i'm pretty n00b at this game. I don't really have much experience at co-op, but prefer playing with others mainly because zombies starting to freak me out lol. Feel free to invite me if you don't mind someone who isn't that experienced, thanks :) <3 KikiJade

My charcter is lvl 4ish, but I've played this game numerous times. I never finished the game though, and I look forward to doing so this time around. Add me and I can play between 9pm and 4am est. especially on weekends

I haven't played this game in a really long time but wouldn't mind getting back into it from the start if anyone wants to play, never finished it so I don't really want to rush through it though!

I wish to finish and do some other stuff over the weekend or see why every one else is still playing this game after compleation let me know and feel free to add me. I am PST and can play this weekend and friday.
