PvP and PvE different modes and servants changes

[Fox]

Ok sooo i understand that PvP is in core of the game, BUT i reeealy woud like that if you choose PvE mode on server, game`ll say F* balance and make magic, weapon skills and gameplay base around fun.

And my second idea concerns the Servant System. Now it literally consists of: bring a slave, put him in a coffin, wait for magic to brainwash him, and then you get a dummy that can only do tasks, and stand by the coffin guarding the castle.

I think this system can be very much complemented and improved.

Let's start with the fact that we make two different types of servants.

The first type will be made of normal workers, and they will actually work in the castle: Drag objects between the chests, pick flowers, and if you want: processed into resources, according to your wishes. They will also breed and keep livestock, go fishing, and cook food for themselves and prisoners.
As well as captives they will have a Misery score, which will directly affect their work. You can have a lot of servants who will have a very high score, but this will be compensated by their number and the ability to replace the deceased very quickly.
Or you can give them their own rooms, rights and simply improve their living conditions in your castle, which will lower their score, or you can even make a servant serve you wholeheartedly, gaining more resources and doing your tasks better.

As for the battle slaves, you will first have to catch them and then "talk" them into serving you. Just like with ordinary servants, you can do it by force, or you can lure them to your side with promises, and in time they can even leave their past beliefs (e.g. Priestess of Light lose faith in the light) and learn dark arts from you, becoming dark heroes. In this way you can get operatives that you can send on missions in groups and they will bring you rare materials, or even recruit new servants.

And of course if you have a PvE server, you can take them with you on VBlood hunts (no more than 4 servants) and they will support you in battle, which will make the battles a bit easier... Or harder (;

This is just my idea of how this system could be improved, for right now we look like a bunch of crazy-ass bloodsuckers rising from their graves and just slaughtering the living for no reason, subjugating some useful ones to make the slaughter easier, than those who can rule this land after we've overthrown the Church of Light.

Here I conclude, I wish you a good day, and good luck in your hunts!

I feel like you just described the sims 3 with the supernatural expansion.

Tho I don't see much of this being really used for this game the idea of having servants go on hunts with you could be a fun thing to add. Would love to both hunt V Bloods or in PvP having a pair of bodyguards with you and I say a pair because rather then 4 a nice balance would be at least 2 Servants following you and if they die on hunts you have to res them back at the castle. Would also like to have a way to post your servants as guards in the castle, would love to have two of my best just standing at guard on ether side of my throne.

Well 2 or 4 is balance problem, and we already can res our horse. But i think it would take some rare resources to resurect the dead.
And Guard idea is nice)

What's with idiots blaming PVP for everything they don't like?

The weapon skills and spells are already balanced around fun/PVE, not PVP.

I didnt blame PvP or said that it is bad. Its just i personaly think that a pure PvE mode witch will make game more chaotic and vampires a bit more powerfull, would be nice.
