Can we please stop asking for PvE only servers?

@juicy-xi It is Possible to take down a 4 player galleon. If you are having trouble you might not being using all the tools of the sloop to the fullest potential. I would be more then happy to play with you and help you learn the strengths of the sloop and weakness of the galleons and how to deal with them.

Edit: I actively hunt galleons when I play solo. Why? because the more times I fight a galleon when I have nothing on me the better I will be at defending myself when I do have loot I need to protect.

I appreciate your offer, and I would like to play with you sometime. But I'm saying that some of us don't have that much time to dedicate. However, we still enjoy the game, and would like to play without being chased by 4 players.

@sirpoopalot999 why? because people who would have never played multiplayer get an avenue to play and not affect you at all? boo hoo :'(
i would compare this game more to Elite Dangerous which DOES have a solo mode to allow players to explore the galaxy by themselves, so why not here?

@d0wnt0wn711 You are correct that overwatch and sot are completely different by design. But the same mindset appeals when you are asking for a PVE only server as it would be asking for a PVE only overwatch story mode. Theres really no reason you should ever get killed at a outpost either. Did you get a spy glass like the rest of us. USE IT. look for a ship if there is no ship look for a mermaid in the water. If you see one expect players to be there. if you read my other comments you will know that I'm not being hostile or mean to anyone but you.

@blahsahrow and again, ignore my point about killable NPC's, well baited friend

@juicy-xi And I understand that completely. That's what I'm saying though if rare could focus on future content and updates to add to the game more players will have stuff to do other then PVP. However you wont get rid of PVP completely but you will minimize it. But if they have to focus on making PVE only server and add more A.I. to it. It will take away from the game progressing.

@d0wnt0wn711 Ok if it makes you feel better I will say something about the killable NPC. Have you ever played WOW if so were you ally? Because I did and I was. Did you ever go to westfall? in westfall there was a quest giver that was killable and you know what that did. It allowed horde players to kill the NPC denying everyone able to get or turn in quest there which ment that you could not progress. Now why would Rare want to hinder Progression. again we don't need (killable NPCS) because you get killed trying to turn in your chest. So you want to Grief and kill the NPC so the other players cant turn in. This whole situation is 100% avoidable if you USE YOUR SPYGLASS. Happy?

@juicy-xi I forgot to add the reason you see the ( kill on sight type of PVP) that is currently in the game is because people have already became bored and have ran out of stuff to do. That's why I believe once more stuff is add it will drop off.

Again this is all my view of it.

@blahsahrow said in Can we please stop asking for PvE only servers?:

@dairadh are you going to pay for it? That's why. Rare made this game the way it is why should they have to remake it for players that didn't think about PVP when buying this game. I believe that Rare wanted a more CO OP version of what we have now I really do. But as it stands I don't see that happening because of Lack of Content. I love this game I put more hours into this game since launch then I have at any other game. If Rare can focus on adding more to the game instead of making PVE servers the PVP will slow down not stop nor do I think it should. It will slow down because players will have stuff to do.

Would creating PVE-only servers takes so much time and ressources ?

Duncan went on to highlight out how the game's success will ultimately benefit Rare as a whole, saying, "The bigger we can make Sea of Thieves, the more opportunity it brings for Rare in the future." He noted that while they've invested the past three years making the game what it is today, the team looks at Sea of Thieves as an experience that will grow as people return to it in the months and years ahead. "If people are playing it in five years or 10 years and it's a very different shaped game, that's awesome for us as well," he said.

PvE servers are not a closed issue as much as some players want it to be. It should continue to be discussed along with every other player request. This forum is how players communicate with the developers regarding the direction of the game. You're free to share your opinion on why you don't want PvE servers. Others are free to share their opinions as well.

@dairadh I believe it would yes.

@pocket-fox-au That is exactly what I have seen after surfing the forums here for several days. I do not seem much of a future for anything past cutthroat pvp and certainly nothing of the friendly, fun community that was advertised. The same people that are griefing in game (yes you are griefing when you are spawn killing, port killing, etc.... Pirates had a reason to kill....money not just the jollies of it or they were bored) are the same ones out here trying to make sure the game stays the same so they keep their sheep to kill. I do agree that there is a lack of content in the game, I disagree that this is a reason to pick on other players. Attacking for loot is one thing, killing for fun is something else entirely.

That is my concern. If pure PVE-players are abundant, won't their departure harm the game as a whole ? RARE need to keep a lot of players, and from what I see, PVE-players don't seem to be a minority. I may be wrong of course, and maybe PVP-players don't voice their opinion, but if I'm right, PVE-players leaving will be a huge issue.

I'd love for new content to be the solution, as some of you suggested, but I seriously don't see how more things to do will keep very agressive players to stay very agressive and bother very passive players.

There is a free sailing simulator for people that cant handle PVP in an open sandbox yes you guessed it PVP game , its on a system that sounds like hot air

@lord-dyonsus Actually no Rare was NOT very clear about this game.
"What kind of game is Sea of Thieves?
Sea of Thieves is a shared world adventure game (or SWAG) with crew co-operation at its core, designed to let you be the kind of pirate you want to be. Want to follow maps and solve riddles to find legendary treasure? Assemble the mightiest, most fearsome crew to sail the seas? Set a course for the horizon and just explore? Our ambition is to build a game that lets you pursue whatever adventure your salty heart desires."
NO WHERE IN THERE DOES IT STATE YOU MUST BE A CUTTHROAT KILLER OR CONSTANT PREY PUPPY TO ENJOY THE GAME DOES IT!!!!!!

@blahsahrow LOL sweetie, sitting at port and killing people multiple times even when there's no point beyond killing them is exactly the same mentality as killing a quest giver to stop a quest from being turned in, you just don't want people to be able to fight back

@d0wnt0wn711 I don't know how else to tell you that this whole situation is avoidable if you pay attention. If people used their spyglass to scout the outpost then the people on the outpost wouldn't have anyone to kill.

@d0wnt0wn711 and for me not wanting people to fight back you have the same guns as everyone else. its a pretty fair fight already.

@blahsahrow THEN I HAVE TO WASTE MY TIME SAILING TO ANOTHER OUTPOST AND OOPS LATE FOR WORK AND NOW I HAVE TO LEAVE GAME AND LOSE ALL MY PROGRESS. i guess it's different for people who can spend 8+ hours a day playing but i play for enjoyment on my downtime. i've played with friends and had a blast but why can't they have a mode to enjoy the game itself without PVP? some of us just want to sail around and be adventurers and don't say that the game tells you "you will get ganked by 4man crews when you play solo" it says AND I QUOTE "set sail on a more perilous adventure" which i take to mean that everything that usually requires a team will be harder, which it is. GETTING TROLLED BY SOME [Mod Edited] IS NOT HARD. IT'S ANNOYING.

@subaqueousreach You know some people do not play games to become pros at it they play to enjoy the game, you are completly discounting those people. You are arrogant and think that your style of play is the only one that is right for everyone. Getting good is not always an option , as I pointed out to another arrogant person the game was not designed for you either....let me give you the quote since you like to CLAIM that the game is not designed with any PvE in mind. ( you are wrong btw, but whatever, I am done arguing with walls. I am simply going to post the facts and people can judge you and your comments by those facts) This is from the Games Home page.....

Nothing there states that you must get good at it, nothing there says you need to do anything past just sail around if you want. Nothing there says be serious, nor walk around on egg shells waiting for the next person you see to kill you either. Your views are valid me bucko, let me not say they are not. They are, they are also arrogant, and wrong IMO. I have just as much right to my opinion as do you. I do not claim mine are right other then the fact I can back mine up somewhat with actual quotes from RARE. Does not mean my OPINION is right, does mean you need to jump off your soapbox and deal with all the other people you are trying to shout down and pound your chest at with equality and reason. They have just as much right to their opinions as you do.
This could be a really good game, but atm it is just tearing itself apart and the company is letting it sink from what I am seeing. THey are afraid of alienating any side and costing themselves profit. I understand, but they need to understand they are going to lose all side in the end that way.
Years ago my ex wife and I had a lot of friends that avoided dealing with us because we were getting a divorce ( it was amicable, I didn't want it, but you cannot make someone love you). They all said when we talked to the privately that they didn't want to tick either one of us off. We talked about it and they ended up ticking both of us off and we both cast the lot of them aside, and stayed friends with those that picked sides no matter which side it was. Just a life lesson that I think is applicable here.

@sorenthaz you are 100% correct and only trolls and children disagree. FACT!

@microphonestand said in Can we please stop asking for PvE only servers?:

@subaqueousreach Then Rare must implement a "change server" command,. Why should players have to log out and back in? There should be something in place to rid players from spawn camping and toxic behavior. Oh wait, Xbox Live has a block feature that actually works!

I feel, there's needs to be a way around the toxic player base, because it's there.

I have no issue with a server hop option, as long as you cannot take loot with you. Otherwise the PVP would be broken, because if I started losing and engagement I could just change servers and keep my toys.

Maybe it would just respawn the players to a new server and sink the ship on the current server and just leave the loot floating.

@subaqueousreach said in Can we please stop asking for PvE only servers?:

Rare has stated in multiple interviews that PvE only servers or safe zones within the world are never going to be a thing.

They also said they were going to introduce a death tax, but they changed their minds after feedback from players. So perhaps they may also reconsider PvE servers/PvE switch with all the player feedback.

@duilliuth I agree with you on some things, however just pointing out facts. In the quote from rare it says "designed to let you be the kind of pirate you want to be. Wouldn't wanting to PVP fall into that?

I dont understand any stance that portrays pirates as nice chicken herders.

@d0wnt0wn711 I wouldn't know if its different for people that can play 8+ hours a day as I have a full time job and kids. However I also have common sense you came to the forum to blast PVP therefore you know it exist but refuse to take counter measures to avoid it. sorry you have to sail to another outpost sorry your late for work. Knowing what you know you should expect that in this game and maybe take precautions? just a thought.

Exactly it's a big waste of time. Some people are trying to change the game completely. You know what you were buying into when they made it clear they weren't doing those things. It's really annoying when people ask about that.

@goblobsters most pirates were hunted and hung. I find it hard to believe that was because they helped an old lady across the road.

They just need to make Custom Servers. That real clients can create. For example Roleplay servers.

@d0wnt0wn711 like ive offered other people. Ill offer you the same thing add me and I will help you when it comes to dealing with other players.

Whoa, so much hostility just because you don't want the same things... that's kinda sad. Don't think there can be a discussion here with such mentality.
