Why is PvP not popular?

[ryan]

I don't understand why people aren't playing Merciless PvP in V-Rising. It's like cutting out half the content in the game. Alternatively you play with PvP on but with such limited raiding and looting, what's the point in playing a survival game at that point?

Some people don't like it when they find themselves at the wrong end of the boot in a butt-kicking contest.

because pvp sucks in this game. Level 84 pking new players. After that happens a few times, most ppl go pve, or single player.


PVP level 84 vs level 20 isnt pvp. It's a douche bag killing the player pop of a server.

Then these same players will say: "why does no one want to play PVP anymore? this game is dead."

it's just tedious and very few devs can make actual fun and balanced pvp instead of a breeding ground for toxic people

if it would always be fair maybe I'd be interested but higher level players can easily ruin your day, same with multiple people attacking you while you're alone

i think the game is at odds with itself. on one hand you give players an extremely robust castle building system and on the other you want them to play a mode where all their hard work could be destroyed in an instant by some random player. i think this funnels a lot of people, myself included, into solo or coop only because a lot of us are drawn to the castle building.

Since launch this game has been mostly pve or groups of friends playing. not many people ever got on the dedicated servers as far as i can remember. but pve and small clan pvp on a private server is awesome.

I am a solo on a pvp server, these forums are dead. I have asked several questions and to this day have yet to ever get an answer. I get more replies commenting on others threads lol.

to much grind, teaming in 2v 2.. a group of 4 joins a 2 man server and ganks every one on the server its unfair and no 1 can stop it. campers at every boss. just afk with rat and spider and just loot the guy when he loses or gets low
every 1 knows is grindy so when you get raided there is no reason to grind again to recover..they rather quit.. just right now some duos quit after raid.

Pvp very toxic in these games : When you die, you loose all your loot AND you take durability hit. The concept of the game is an arms race, so the first on the top of the chain food eat the small fishes. The game very unfair for solo players on official rules, no solo mode.
They should add a MMO like system (an option) : Pvp zones in pve server, with better rewards, each zone has a level range, if highter level player enter the zone they are downgraded.
Another popular option, survival coop, with no pvp but NPCs can raid your castle. A vampire vs NPCs (human or vampire) where every players on the server as to help each other to survive.

Anyone who has spent 40 hours or more will know what pvp is in this game and how disgusting it is.

Prohibiting or penalizing killing newbies, or having protection in the castles of players who play alone, would be a good point.

Not to mention that if 2 or 3 vampires put you on their raid route, your castle will be destroyed in a short time. pvp 1 vs 2? you are dead. There are also master vampires who are level 80, and are dedicated to killing low levels.

Its just a terrible unimaginative power-creep gankfest.
Not worth to spent a second with.

To be honest - the devs have proven that they have no competence to implement any meaningful, usable PVP.
Its just as if some inter slapped some junk onto the mechanics pile.
Sad, but

All official PVP servers are almost completely full. On PVE servers half is empty. This can be easily verified in the game itself when selecting servers. So what is this thread about?
