Remove player names from Castles

[Laserreptar]

So I've been playing official PVP servers and noticed a certain trend, I think when names are visible on a person's castle, it causes people to be too friendly because they're afraid someone will retaliate against them. This is something that I see in a lot of the PvP servers I play on, folks are just scared to provoke someone in the wild because they know that they can go around searching for their castle and prepare a raid against them.

This is something that Rust and other games like it already do really well, you don't really know whose base is whose unless you see them specifically enter that base. In V Rising that element is completely gone and I think it'll kill the longevity of the game. It would also make some of the polymorph abilities like rat form and human form more useful for stealthily scouting and tracking players back to their castle.



End of rant, let me know what you guys think.

"The PvP crowd is upset, it'll kill the longevity of the game." This trend is getting really old, really fast on V Rising's forums.

Here's a not so secret elephant in the room thats existed since launch. This game sold millions of copies. There's only a few PvP servers with a couple dozen players each. Even if you used the most generous of inflated numbers for things like time zones, weekend-only players, private servers, etc... heck even throw in every PvP server thats ever existed and every player who's ever played the game in a PvP mode- The PvP population never made up more than 1-2% of the game's entire playerbase.

The other trend I don't understand about PvP that appears on every game that allows for PvP, (regardless if its the primary focus or not) is the fact that many PvP players aren't interested in the challenge of PvP combat, but rather the enjoyment of nuking someone back to the stone age and/or ruining their day. The developers go out of their way to put in disadvantages for agitators as a disincentive and the PvP players lose their minds.

I'd say no too, I like to know where the guy I have beef with lives.
I like to know that he knows that I know.
My wrath will be swift... And trust me, he knows that.

How does that matter, back in the day you just scanned with batform and open map for those players and took notes, now you dont have to anymore. If someone want to raid you he will find you regardless.

I actually agree with op. If they would hide names, PvP would be a lot different. Other bad thing is social tab.
