PvP No thank you

[lonl123]

Extremely disappointed with the approach they are taking with this game. I really wanted a Dune adventure game of some form with a Narrative not some game where I'm hunting "10 baby sand worms to make a Sand Worm Belt" type MMO. It's extremely disappointing and to be able to fully "Enjoy" the game you will have to join a guild and play PvP crap. Sigh, very, very disappointed and I will pass on this one...reading some other threads I am not alone in this either. I know there are some people that really enjoy PvP and I say more power to ya, but just not interested. I would like the game to succeed however, so that maybe they can go on to make a different game that I would be interested in...but I just won't be bothering to get this one.

Ill watch some game play once it's released...I wasn't all that impressed with Conan, though I have only watched game play, I didn't purchase it (For much the same reason I'm not planning on getting this one) and don't ever see me taking the plunge on it either. We'll see maybe they will surprise, but I seriously doubt it. All good regardless, If the 3rd movie is as popular as the second one was, there will be more games made.

Yeah you should look into more of the gameplay videos and how Conan Exiles plays as well.

It's not the kind of MMO you think of at all.

Reading the description of the game it will probably be a soft forced pvp mode, yes, you can skip it and refuse to participate but then you are locked out or slowed down in some part of the game until you cave in and try it anyway.
mixing the 2 NEVER works and it will be the same in this game.
PvP zones that you can avoid will most likely have resources you need to progress faster because they have to lure you in somehow.

I am not against PvP, far from, but mixing PvE and PvP has never worked for me personally.
let me play my PvE and choose to PvP as i have done in many other games but everything on one map is a disaster waiting to happen.

big pass for me also, not interested on pvp at all. Shame

Already they say there are performance issues there. UE5(. Huge chunk of pvp where there will be 3 frames and 90% cheaters. There is Once Human and it's free.

this is so NOT TRUE at all, most games like Asheron Call still exist today..... FPS games are all PVP exist every where, so not sure what your smoking, but people like PVP... WOW exists even with PVP, and PVE..... . So does many games, if you like playing against JUST AI all day, there are plenty to do in most of these games..... with that type of game play, but to say omg, its PVP its DOA, its total nonsense....

what are you talking about...... UE 5, UE 5 performs perfectly fine.... Have you ever developed before or used it professional? I doubt it ....

The games that had issues where companies who used experimental plugins and for example Stalker 2 released with UE 5.1 with experimental plugins, UE5 has been stable for many of these same plugins since 5.3, 5.4, UE 5, is on 5.5.2 and soon 5.6. SO LEARN the facts before spewing nonsense about something you know nothing about. ..

Lastly UE has nothing to do with cheating, the developers who build it do......

Did you even read anything about this game? I found it about a year or year and a half ago and it was toted as being a balance between PVE and PVP and a balance between Guns, Melee, and Vehicle combats. If you made it as far to get hyped about the game... then you must be the most easily impressed person alive... because it was very clearly going to include PVP in all of the documentation since the steam page opened up.

Or, you are dealing with Dune fans who have followed the Story for years through all forms of Media and did not even have a hard look apart from that it's a Dune game.
a LOT of people just want to play in the Dune universe and got exited before realizing it's going to be just another "optional" pvp game that chooses to pit people against each other for a few months over a worthy pve endgame that can entertain people for years.

i dont understand how a game can be greenlit with forced pvp endgame after some 20+ years of data showing these types are a niche market and not money makers.

also, realize that the combat is clunky and, given funcom history, will never be any good. so why would you want to pvp with a crappy, laggy combat system anyway?

but yeah this game is a flop and dead already. Unless they do a major pivot quickly.

Yeah it's a very niche genre that most player do not want.

We'll see if Funcom has pulled off a good PVE/PVP balance here or not.

It can't be done right, it is that simple.
the moment you try to mix PvE and PvP, you no longer have PvE but forced PvP.
If you can flag yourself to enable PvP or not, then maybe it can be done but not while tying resources or progress onto PvP.

a separate PvP mode that influences the PvE world could be interesting but that could be hard to balance depending on how they do this.

overall, it is just a bad idea to mix the 2 groups together.
