Is PvP coming in the future?

[hOLDtHEdOOR]

Will this be a thing?

How many of you would like to see it be a thing?

I think it would be alot of fun to have people who join your game be able to choose if they join your tribe or to start out on their own and if a player starts a new tribe then as more people join they can choose to join your tribe or other player run tribes.

Never!

Not me. PVP has ruined literally every single zombie survival game out there. Keep it co-op max, otherwise single player.

It doesn't make sense for a jump-in/jump-out coop game to allow non-primary players to build tribes. It takes dozens of hours of build-up and work. Maybe if this were a permanent server, but that would ruin all the balancing choices..

I would like to see it but not on my map.
Exploring other maps where other ppl can join with their existing community while exploring too, would be fun.
If you die you wake up unconscious at the border of your map. Exploration failed.
Everyone who was part of the expedition and died during the last 10 mins before you died has a chance of 25% to show up unconscious as well instead of being dead.
Everyone who was alive after you've died will decrease the loot loss by 5% up to a max. of 40% (random pick) and with a base rate of 90%.

The problem with PvP is that for "fairness" it usually means gutting many of the interesting features of a game, if it isn't designed for competitive play from ground up.

But without "fairness" I wonder that PvP will gather enough players to make it actually worth the effort/cost.

iow, almost certain somebody will get upset in the end?

I don't want to jump to conclusions on this one, but I am pessimistic about it, and will actually object if it means it will mess up the single-player experience that I am enjoying for now. (Co-op should really be considered the single-player "plus"?)

I would highly doubt pvp would live for long.

It's nice, but in all honesty in the long run it ruins the entire experience when people go out their way to just full on grief people.

Plus it would take a lot of effort in order to keep your community together if you had to worry about human players as well.

[Vuyek]

EF NO
NO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PvP = grief heaven. a "game" for psychotic sadists and no less psychotic people who enjoy the abuse. go play eve online.


besides - check the invite all checkmark and "enjoy"

I agree.
If there's any distinction to be made between survival games and fighting games, it's that combat is secondary to basic survival needs. It would be nigh impossible to preserve that distinction in a PvP setting.

Instead of building with each other you could build seperate bases or you can recruit a few people and be a roaming raider group.
