Gyms or other "trainers."

[Natey]

Do we know if there are gyms or other trainers around the map to fight?

[᲼]

dunno about gyms but one of the recent trailers showed "trainers"/people holding palspheres... so probably there's a bunch around the map?

Hopefully. I don't even care if there's no story at all (seems like there won't be), but I am hoping there are trainers to fight and it's just not just big monsters.

Bruh, this is creature collecting open world survival craft,
nope you don't start in a cute village you either survive or die,
nope you don't start with starter you'll find and catch one,
nope you don't collect badge or fight the trainer you defeat the faction leader in order to progress.
You'll be disappointed if you expecting this to be like Pokemon. :)
While there's no story, there are lore which will expand more in future update.

Yeah I don't really get the vibe of trainer battles more so seems the focus is open world survival/crafting and the pals are more so used as tools to further the survival aspect. If there will be fights with others npcs it's not going to be in battle aspect like Pokemon but more so you run up to the enemy NPC and smack them around till they are dead using whatever pals you have or weapon on hand. Try not to get hung up on Pokemon-esqe mechanic and more so think craftopia with pet utility to help you survive.

This is Ark with pokemons, not a pokemon like game.

I'm not expecting Pokemon. But having trainer battles seems epic. Why shouldn't there be other trainers or owners or whatever you want to call it in the open world to fight against?

That sounds terrible and no reason to have NPCs then. Why shouldn't there be other people in the world, like us, collecting Pals the you fight?

Obviously in this game it would likely be a fight to the death, but still.

If you want a pokemon game just go play pokemon and also there are other people in the world like you. Thats why there's 32 players per official server and pvp will get added in the future. Also remember this game is a mmo survival game not a pokemon game.

You think it sounds terrible because you have a preconceived idea of how games like Pokemon work and making assumptions that this game is supposed to do the same. Npcs add flavor to the game and while the game seems to hint that there is a story it's main focusing seems to be more about building crafting and using pals as resources to increase your survivability. So while it's been shown that you can fight with your pals just dont go into it thinking it's going to be similar to Pokemon. If anything think more of an action type element where you are free to attack whatever is opposing you.

you still talking about pokemon, i am not really fan of pokemon you trying to make Dev to add something "trainer", this is palworld where blasting animals to death or force animals to create weapons, thats it. No childish game like pokemon. (also there will be mod future a furry naked female p0rn someday)

I don't want it like Pokemon - I was asking a question. But other trainers makes sense (gyms I can understand don't in their world).

No, I think it sounds terrible because I think the world should have other people in it who are like my character? Why would I be the only character in the world who collects and fights with Pals? Pretty silly notion.

I don't get why people are acting like trainers would make this a pokemon clone I mean battling an npc in action combat with shotguns and foxes being used as flame throwers doesnt exactly sound like pokemons idea of a trainer fight.

Personally I'm a sucker for fights that involve fighting other human characters with similar skill sets to the player. I'm like this with all games, from action combat to turn based ♥♥♥♥ I just love it, really hope to see something like that here. From the looks of the trailer their are NPCs and one of them holds a palsphere so it looks possible.

Exactly, I'm not asking for trainers in the sense that we get their phone number and call them back for another friendly battle tomorrow! lol

But fighting another "human" NPC with his own monster would be so fun and add a lot to the survival aspect.

Thanks for understanding!

Only thing we have seen so far is a team rocket type of group that i think you get to battle, as for gyms and whatnot i haven't seen those anywhere so i doubt it.
