    PvE servers is braindead.

    You wont be saying that when cowards gank you.

    ganking over nothing currently pretty much never happens unless ur a big streamer like asmon due to corruption being so penalising :P
    think ive been attacked once so far that wasnt for any reason at all, most of the open world pvp fight have been over mobs spawns not realy randoms ganking somone and if i do get ganked o well shit happens

    either way game doesnt work as only PvE was never designed for it and never will be and if u just want a pve experience there plenty of other options out there for you.

    Not that I'm really interested in stepping into a debate about PvP vs. PvE, since at it's core it will never be resolved. It's the same argument in almost every game.

    However, as a person who has PvPed a time or two, I enjoy it when I'm in the mood. When I'm not and I'm playing a game that has OWpvp, I need to make a decision if I want to do that today...that's all.

    BUT, there is a VERY LARGE difference between PVP and ganking/griefing. This is what those arguing for PvP are refusing to acknowledge. NO ONE enjoys being continuously PKed by higher level characters OR large zerging groups of sweaty tryhards living in grandma's basement.

    If your PvP group outguns my PvP group, great, nuf said. BUT you and I both know that camping spawn spots, newbie areas, etc., and similar places to simply inflict the max amount of misery on another player is what we're talking about here. This is the real argument. What to do about those players that set out to make other player's experience not-fun. Hence corruption....but, if you read other forum posts, there's crying about that from the SAME people who want to make life miserable for everyone else. NOT real PVP.

    I'm amazed at HOW many people, who are testing the servers, have never watched a livestream about the game. ALL of these topics have been discussed in GREAT detail by Steven/Margaret/Guests with respect to their vision and what they want for their mmorpg. PvP is not going anywhere (the whole game is centered around it), there will NOT be separate servers (Steven WANTS CONFLICT - he has said it a thousand times), the corruption system is not leaving (maybe change), none of this is news.

    Besides, it's 3 weekends into Alpha II, why are so many panties in a wad? It's like complaining that the food is too salty and you haven't even taken a bite.

    Exactly Lughlaoch, these forums are just an echo chamber for the vocal minority of MMO players fighting to have an outlet for there sociopathic/narcissistic tendencies, they cant fathom most people want fair competition and don't get joy or feel the need to make other players mad or sad or quit the game.

    The world Economy and Node Mechanics cannot function in a PVE state.
    God we've had this 'discussion' for years now since before the Forums were updated...

    Stop trying to make a knife into a spoon.

    If you don't like PVP hire a body guard...

    streamers will always be sniped, the Devs can add a TOS clause about targeted greifing, easy to see a kill log, and also check if a person was baiting someone to kill them over and over. Most regular players will not get sniped. I could see guilds who get bored or for content decided to PK a whole area. However adding other mechanics to corruption like dropping of storage keys that other can loot and 1 time use on your town storage would be a solution to that.


    best fix for a streamer is like all other MMOs, hide your map. also in the end no one really cares, look at EvE you can figure out where people are but streamers do not get sniped that much.

    If there was no pvp what would you even do?

    - Nodes would max out and have no threat of being toppled
    - Caravans would have no risk and be extremely boring time sinks
    - No course of action if someone wants your farming spot

    This is just the stuff off the top of my head.
    There would be so much of their vision they would have to rework to fit PVE servers in and not have them be dysfunctional when compared to PVX.

    This game is not for everybody. There are certain things Steven will not compromise on, and you can read more about them here. Sorry you wasted your money.
