@mri1ama said in [Mega Thread] - Balance between PvE and PvP elements, to ensure a great experience for everyone (Part 4):
@deusnecrotis
For your first point that is entirely part of the game, I really don't see why this is viewed as such a terrible thing. If you literally cannot handle PvP or hate it. You need a game that has no PvP instead of a game that has PvP as a core part of the game. The reason you get rewarded as much as you do for loot is because of risk. Without PvP the risk is minimal at best. This is a PvPvE game, take all of it or take none of it, it's that simple.
Yeah I get that PvP is a wholly unavoidable part of the game, I'm not arguing that point. More specifically, I'm arguing that PvE is definitively not an obligatory part of the game. But that's not really even the point of the post, perhaps I shouldn't have included that bit. I also get that you don't understand why not everyone is happy with the state of things as is, that you think they should come to this thread already armed with all available knowledge on the subject so as not to post anything that's been said before, and that if RARE has made any statements about their intentions people should just accept those decisions and if they're in any way dissatisfied move on and not buy the game.
If you want to just do PvE cool go ahead and do just that and realize you are gonna have to run from ships when you have loot.
If you want to do just PvP cool go ahead and do just that and realize you are gonna get less rep/gold per hour than if you were doing just PvE.
This still isn't really balance though. Whether you personally choose to acknowledge their existence or not, there are pure PvP players who regularly post their intentions to wholly ignore all PvE rewards including gold, rep, cosmetics, Pirate Legend progression, and the rest. By their own words, all they want is to hunt and kill, and they like this game because literally nothing holds them back from that beyond their own willingness to invest time. That's the real reason no one is in here begging for a reduction of PvE, because PvP is already wholly unrestricted and nobody centered on that play style has anything to complain about regarding how PvE is constantly getting in their way. Not so the PvE player.
If it wasn't just the same blabber as the past 3 threads I wouldn't have to reiterate the exact same things i've said in previous threads. My opinion is just as viable as anyone elses. All i'm doing here is reiterating logical points that were made in the previous threads because people seem to either not read them or dis-regard them. I'm all for things that make this game better and on the previous threads every 100 posts or so someone would post something innovative instead of the same "less loot for pvp, mark pvp players like they are witches in salem etc etc."
Again, you've stated those opinions... if other people, including new posters, are not allowed to re-iterate the same views they or others have already posted, why are you allowed to continually re-post your ideas? Is it because you are right and people who aren't right should not be allowed to speak? Why do feel so compelled to correct every wrong person who comes in here failing to understand the nature of the game? Are you afraid RARE will cave and ruin the game? Are you just mad that they don't get, even after all this time and all your posts?
I realize that if Rare is reading this they get my point, i'm here to try and educate people to think about their posts and what it actually means to the vision of the game. If I wasn't here it would just literally be an Anti-PvP thread where fanatic PvE players would feed off eachother into a frenzy because most players who are satisfied with the game like myself don't come to the forums for just that reason.
Ok. Could you direct me to the part of the OP for this mega thread where is says players who are happy with the game should continually correct and shoot down any ideas or posts they don't agree with, or that they feel RARE doesn't agree with? Because I only saw the part about...
"One of the most important topics, the topic of inclusion as we all want to make sure that Sea of Thieves appeals to as many gamers as possible and everyone enjoys the game regardless of their own personal motivations.
Discuss below.
Thank you! :D"
Ok, one reply. Now I'm really done, I won't be replying again to this particular subject. Much like the other ongoing arguments you are engaged in, I feel it clutters up the forums with unnecessary information RARE already possesses. The new people coming in to express old ideas count as necessary, because if they don't come in and post their thoughts at least once each, how will RARE know how many people are actually unhappy with their design decisions? Near as I can tell, the thread exists so RARE can get a sense of of how the community as whole feels. Let the people talk... that's all I'm really asking. There really is no point to individually arguing with every wrong person who comes in, other than whatever it is you think you're getting out of it. As always, thanks for reading.
