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~!

Gonna probs do a lot of both, so PvX. Really hyped to experience the PvP!

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!

Oooooh, nice! Yeah I think this game is gonna have a really good balance between 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.

Yea~!! n.n That's what I'm thinking, I'm really competitive in CS and RUST but I feel like that'll ruin some of the magic of Ashes. Maybe after I while I could really get into PvP and high end PvE or whatever (if PvE is competitive, i dunno) But Yeah I'd love to run around with some friends and do PvE for a while, then once I'm a high level try out some PvP stuff.

I usually pve which is why I'm so excited for raids in ashes. But with pvp being such a focus I'm also really interested to try my hand in it.

I made this guide for newcomers.

This is me.

I've PvPed in MMOs before, however the only time I've *enjoyed* it is when I voluntarily walk into it with the mindset.

I have my PvP pants, and my PvE pants. If I'm hunting mats and critters, I'm not thinking about killing people or looking for any kind of thrill. I don't want to constantly look over my shoulder or, worse, constantly assume everyone I see may or may not attack me for no reason.

I *like* the idea that anyone is killable, and at the same time I don't. I plan on playing a Mage, with a lot of AoE effects. I don't want to accidentally damage someone just because some flagged bastard pokes me with a stick.

TBH Poko, MMO PvP is an entirely different kettle of fish compared to Counterstrike. And for a game like AoC where you don't actually *have* team mates who you can rely on to *not* stab you in the back, it get's overwhelming quick. The flag system is complicated, and potentially grieftastic.

Imagine you're running along, and you see a dude in trouble. He's green so you know he's not up for PvP. He's got himself a fight with a few monsters he likely won't defeat. You decide to help him out and start dropping some AoE spells to thin the herd of critters around him. Some corrupt SoB nails you with an arrow just before you drop your spell and suddenly you're flagged and damage the guy you were trying to help. Now he's flagged, and you're corrupt.

I'm not sure AoC will work exactly like that, but that is a thing I've seen in other MMOs.

Ashes has always been described as a PvX game, so my goal is to do PvX. I am looking forward to both equally.

PvX for me, I plan on exploring the game to its full measure and with open world PvP your not going to be able to escape PvP.

Very much a PvX player love to take in all a game has to offer and Ashes has the potential to offer rather a lot.

For those not following Atlas they implemented different server types because the megas were doing their normal zerg/grief spam. They made a server just for them to play with the ruleset they wanted. Turns out like every other games anecdotal evidence. people don't want deal with asshat behavior. Current populations without even a NA PVE server (conspiracy theory right now it that they are waiting for Empire to fail so they save the cost on adding a new server before implementing NA PVE.)
NA PvP Colonies - 2,516
EU PvP Colonies - 2,926
EU PvE Colonies - 1,625
NA PvP Empires - 115

Edit: Called it. Empires shut down and replaced with NA PVE tomorrow.

I'll play PvX. Both is enjoyable and both I'll practise... with friends and new folks I think it will be fabulous :-D

I'll probably be PvX ! I didn't even know that was a thing lol

Me too! I googled PvX 😂

Raids are really great it 40 can be chaotic... organize everything and if there are tricky mechanics.... it could wipe the raid if you have some moment cripples 😅

PvE start... guild captures PvE Castle...
...other guild declare war on the guild to conquer the castle. Nice idea to get ready to rumble

I'm looking forward to doing both as well~! n.n I'd love a nice mix of the two~! Seeing as I've never done PvE that should be especially fun for the first time.

Ooooo~! n.n That could be really fun~! People could pay you to protect their caravans while they transfer goods~! ^-^ Crafting should be awesome too, your name gets put on everything you craft from what I heard so. You could craft some awesome gear or something and it would be signed by you!

Why would anyone settle for just one instead of enjoying the whole experience? o.o

True ouo but I've seen some... people who just ONLY want one or the other cx and hate the idea of even trying out the other so o-o weird!

PvX for me, Although my preferred choice is generally PvE content.
