Should i play on a private Server?

[The Unteachable]

Hi,
i want to buy the game now and i'm not sure where to play it, on a regular server with other players or on a private server, because i dont want to play pvp, just pve.
Any Advices?

Thanks

i play solo on a private server and it works just fine. some of the bosses can be difficult but the game is very playable solo. might be better with a friend, though. you can play with friends on a private server as long as you don't toggle solo.

start on single player, less your going online for PVE server, then start online.. if you're goin pvp you're gonna wanna prly do a run through solo to get the hang of it

if PvE play whatever server you want, if PvP, stay on private servers, as theres a huge design flaw in PvP...

That is teaming/Zerglings scum.

The best experience lies in community pvp servers with trusted admins. There are a good bunch of admins that are... Bad. If you want pve with randoms and want character to not get wiped for many months then official i'd say.

This is incorrect.

1)Private servers hosted by others can disappear at any moment, without prior notice and no explanation.

2)Official PVE servers will get wiped in about 20 days, so I wouldn't start there either until they do.

This is only true if you are already an experienced player.

Otherwise a new player will likely get steamrolled in PvP by people who have had hundreds of hours of PvP experience and will absolutely not have a good time.

Thanks for all your answers.
I tried a private server and think this is the safest way.
Maybe a few friends join me the next days.

For a first run, go private server.
So you learn the progression system, how abilities works, game mechanics etc.

V Rising is build for multiplayer tho, particularly pvp. So you might find some feature inconsistent in the solo run, but that's ok.

To balance the fun and the usefulness, challenge yourself to build as compact as u can without sacrificing mobility, also this is not a farming game.. you're never rewarded for farming excess of stuff, the fun is into understanding at glance what u need, take it, use it and go.

My first run i had need of tons of big chests, my lastest i ended the game with 8 basic chest through the whole thing.

Once you get that, then transition to multiplayer can't go wrong ;)

Nothing wrong with going on a PVE server, world will feel way more alive if there's active players.

LOL? This is the dumbest thing I've read this month.

There are TONS of crap rolls on Jewels and there are TONS of crap rolls on blue and orange weapons. It is almost certain you would want A LOT more of those to get the mods you want.

Not to mention you will likely need more than a few 95%+ prisoners before Irradiated Gruel gamble gets them to 100%
