@gunner646 said in Coop server? PVE:
This is a bad solution to a nonexistent problem.
Because a problem doesn't affect you doesn't mean its nonexistent. To many players have complained and spoken out to bury ones head in the sand.
But lets try this, without saying you are admitting there is a problem, if it did exist how would you solve it?
I see what are you are saying overall and it highlights that the situation is more complex. Your suggestion boils down to, get good. I mean your making the assumption those who dislike PvP aren't good at it. I think the general understand we have reached reading through the entirety of the thread is that Its not PvP or PvE alone that create the divide. Most who have posted dislike the PvP they experienced because instead of being fun or engaging has been dry or pointless. For example sinking new spawned ships and or spawn camping. There are other points to, just using these as quick examples. Then we have PvP supporters who prefer searching for treasure and doing voyages, but love the tension PvP creates. Those players and the PvE posters would mostly get along quite well in the same server even though it appears they are on opposite sides of this discussion.
The real problem is extremists. These are the PvP supporters who consider that Winning is the only way to play. Spawn Camping is not only ok, its a valid strategy. They consider forcing an opponent to quit a victory. These are also the toxic PvE players who throw constant stream of insults and profanities at anyone daring to engage them in PvP. These are the people that stand still letting you kill them just to scream that you are ruining the game.
My personal preference is player controlled private servers that would allow content and settings to be controlled by the owner. My second preference is for invitation on play, allowing private communities to work together to bring about a more static player base. In games like DayZ, Rust, and Conan for example playing with one set community leads to the development of relationships and rivalries. I have over a dozen friends I can play with. You put us all in the same shard and the Seas will see more than a fair share of blood as we tend to hold grudges between titles.
