PvP PvE Or both~?

Hey~! I love hearing from the community, and since I'm completely new to MMORPGs I'd love to hear what you guys like more. PvP, PvE or a mix of the two. I personally have basically only played PvP games, CS:GO , RUST etc. I'd love to give PvE a chance in Ashes, seeing those huge groups of people taking on a super cool boss looks crazy fun~! Let me know what you guys have gravitated towards, or if you like to strike a balance~!

PvE is great to chill but PVP definitely pumps me up more, it's just fun fighting you know an actual intelligent (limited but still) person c: with pve I often feel no challenge due to how MMO's work where if your level is high enough you can fuck everything up, and specific monsters require specific amounts of people, you cant outskill a boss that is supposed to be for 5 people by yourself but you can have a close fight with a player of the same level.

I am actually a true PVX player. My main focus is crafting but I love the rush of PVP and if I have to flatten world bosses with a group of like minded players to get that rare component to make the best product then so be it. Diversity of game play keeps it interesting for me.

Yeah that seems awesome~! I've never played an MMORPG so I have no idea what I am, but I'd love to both PvE and PvP. I haven't PvEd before but I feel I'll enjoy it, and PvP is something I always enjoy so that's a no brainer.

Mhm~! I'm glad to hear you're open to it c:

I'm gunna really try out PvE, it looks super cool fighting huge bosses and stuff. I always PvP in every game though so no worries on that.

Yeah that's what I've always seen, I tried WoW and then looked up how to get into a raid. I just walked around and 1 hit literally everything in there. I hope ashes will have a mix of static levels, and scaling. Without scaling places in the world become absolute ghost towns and meaningless to visit.

Well in AoC there are no level zones so if you think you can farm rabbits and be safe then think again because mommy slime will come with a 20 level lead and melt your ass to oblivion.

A good MMO should make me want to do both.

PVX>PVE ALL DAY.

pve should serve the purpose of gearing up for pvp while pvx is always there to keep u on the edge.

PvP pretty much exclusively.

I'm usually a PvPer, but if the content is interesting enough I'll PvE too.

I enjoy PvP when in the mood, however I have a real problem with it being forced on me.

Playing a game like Planetside where I expect PvP (because that's all that game is), that's fine. Being funneled into tighter and tighter leveling zones and forced into PvP areas to do quests? Not cool.

TBH AoC's apparent take on PvP is... dangerous. Any MMO that makes PvP optional does better, whether or not people opt into the PvP aspects. Games that are pure PvE are fine, games that are pure PvP struggle. Meaning PvP is a limited player base.

AoC's flag system sounds to me like it will kill the game quick. I'm willing to give it a go, but honestly I've seen a lot of PvP servers just die quick because nothing discourages grief ganking. That kind of PvP is only fun for one person, and it ruins game experiences for far more then just the one person.

Every game I've played, the "hardcore" kids scream loudest when they lose, brag loudest when they win, and either quit first or second, whichever part they lose on. So I truly hope AoC doesn't promote that sort of attitude in the game.

I'm mostly a PvE person, with occasional PvP on my terms. But there are features in Ashes that sound fun like caravans, monster coins, and sieges to some extent. I'm wondering with all the siege opportunities mentioned if one could get burn out on them between working on guild prep, castle sieges, Node sieges, and node wars.

I think PvX is both so I'm probably going to be that too! I don't want to just do one or the other, I wanna do both~! n.n

Hmm... I can understand that but hopefully Ashes will be different. I personally LOVE pvp, it's the only games I ever have played. when I was 14 I got CS:GO and then RUST after and haven't even touched another game since.

I think the penalties for randomly killing people will be way too much, if you aren't trying to actively pvp and you die I don't really think you lose much of anything (Maybe some mats? but very few) And if the person who is going around killing people who aren't trying to PvP dies, they could even lose their GEAR and WEAPONS.

I don't think Ashes is forcing pvp, but then again I have never played an mmo so I don't know. I also only play PvP games so I could have a bias, but thinking of the grinds some of the gear takes to get in other games... and thinking about losing that just over killing new players is insane.

I'm sure if it doesn't work they will quickly have a solution anyway, I HIGHLY doubt they'll just let a system like that (If it's actually terrible) just go unchanged and kill their game. Thanks for the comment

Awesome~!!!! n.n I'm hyped too~! For BOTH! It'll be my first MMO so I won't know if I like PvP or PvE, but I'll most likely be doing them both!

Tbh I barely ever play pvp. I got competitive in first person shooters but never in an mmo game. PvE has been a big part of whether or not I liked an MMO. When it comes to playing In MMOs I typically am looking for a more coop experience. That doesn’t mean I won’t try pvp, but for me PvE is key. It allows me to play with others and it also allows me to play without anyone else for quiet moments.
