@lynexiagurl said in The thing about private servers:
I've never understood the need to remove progression from a private server. Y'all acting like progression is this huge thing in this game that gives you power but the only thing you get is pretty cosmetic items that don't effect gameplay at all.
So if it doesn't effect the gameplay at all, why do you care if in the end you get to play without threat or challenge, the way you want?
People are so against others for seemingly no reason in this game. You might have a reasonable argument if say; this game had real character and power progression but it doesn't. So I'd like someone to give me a single good reason to not have progression on these servers...
This has been covered ad nauseum but whatever: if people need a carrot on a stick to be lured in public servers, where the devs wants as many people of all types and motivations to interact together, so be it. It's a risk vs reward concept that is perfectly fair. You get to chose, and you have an incentive to still play both types of servers, isntaed of switching and never come back (and split the community).
Because honestly it just sounds like you want a high chance to be grouped up on servers with gankable people that don't enjoy PvP just so you can feel like you're good at a game because you play with 4 people and that solo player is a solo player who is playing the game because they like the premise without PvP.
And on the other hand, you guys sound like you just want an easy mode by removing the only real threat and real challenge of the game. The game always ahd a PVEVP premise, so if people expect something not advertised, that's their problem.
If all I get is a skin... I can buy most of them anyway if I really wanted them.... How exactly is the integrity of the game threatened in any way shape or form just because you can't gank people?
Point covered already.
Oh and FYI I have never once in my play time been killed for loot.. Most of the time they don't even take it and I just sail back and pick up my own lost cargo and move on.
Oh so you are saying you don't actually need a separate mode because you still end up getting your loot back no matter what? Neat, good to know.
