Give us a PvE Mode.

[ManicLibra]

Like most extraction games in this generation now, I would also like to have an option to play PvE. the PvP isn't even that bad. the formula is as follows:
Players don't USUALLY actively Hunt other players UNLESS they see them. If any player sees another player, 9 times out of 10 they will chase them down. I know i'm not alone in thinking that me and some friends could have fun in PvE or even Private games. So, IRONMACE, Please give us a PvE mode for Dark and Darker. And i'm sure your player base will rocket up even more than it already has with the steam/epic f2p release.

I saw the game on twitch and I liked it, so I installed it... but when I read that it can come to PVP at any time and I uninstalled it before I even started it...

I don't want to be forced to play PVP, other than that I'm so honest and I'm bad at it =) so I avoid games where you have to do PvP.

If the game only brings in a PVE mode at some point, I will definitely play it.

Nope. There will be no pve mode.

Uh IDK. There are some players who are fixated on PKing. I've watched you. I've watched people run around and not even try to loot big stuff, some don't even loot to save time and exit with empty inventory. They just go from spawn area to spawn area. Its kind of psychotic. Just say you like killing other people instead of the "its a PVP game".

Why, with 40k players why shouldn't the player base be split (other than you wont have any easy prey) and people that want to not pvp get the pve they want? What makes your wants to prey on others more important than theirs just because you like doing it?

Make an argument but not some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

What makes your desire to not get PvPed in a PvP centric game more important than the people who want to PvP’s desire to PvP in the PvP centric game?

Who cares if somebody just wants to be the game’s super villain and hunt down and kill other players just because they can? Their desire to do that is just as valid as your desire to not have that happen to you, the problem is that the game as it currently exists favors the PvPers, heavily so. Sure Ironmace might make a dedicated PvE only mode in the future, but right now that doesn’t exist, and you are making the conscious choice to play the PvP centric game only to then get mad that people are doing PvP in it.

It would be like you playing League of Legends, getting in to a match, and then just roaming around the jungle killing camps and getting upset when an enemy player attacks you because you feel entitled to play a certain way the game just doesn’t support.

By all means, advocate for a PvE mode, I wouldn’t mind seeing one for those that want it post-Early Access. But this mental gymnastics of “I’m coming in to a PvP game notorious for its PvP made popular because of its PvP by content creators who do PvP and then when I get PvPed I’m going to cry on the forums about how people are evil stinky poo poo heads for PvPing me” is actually insane.

People who want the type of PvP experience Dark and Darker offers have Dark and Darker. You can just go play something else if you don’t like that those people are also playing the game.

Just like Tarkov this game would be better off as a PvE title. PVP is rather jank and the netcode doesn't really stack up well.

nah its fine. there will be no pve mode.

More than the same game but PvE, I'd love to have longer PvE dungeons. Get your stuff and try to go as far as you can. Or going without stuff beside base equipment and try to go as far as you can with what you find inside. The 15 minutes runs often feel a bit too short, it could be nice having a mode in which you have time to think and plan things.

But as it was said, it's a small time, for now it's best for them if they keep a short loop and make it work. But after release, if the game is successful enough, one can still hope for more game modes.

I dont understand why you would want to play pve. Between what the game is and how dumb the ai is, why would you want to play that? The only reason why people play sot in pve mode is to complete tall quests, tall quests are hand crafted pve dedicated sections. even then ima be real that ♥♥♥♥♥ boring. this game does not and probably will never have anything like that. so all you are left with is just playing the game minus other players.

I would just think at that point theres better games for you to play, like might an magic or somthing

I play PvE SoT because i love the game. not to complete tall tales. Some of us like playing games with friends, and have fun. A fun experience doesn't have to involve PvP. Your opinion isn't the same as everyone else's, so don't pretend you are the only one with a valid opinion.

Come up with something valid to add to the conversation or just don't say anything. Just "No" means you have an opinion, congratulations. Everyone has one and all of them (including mine) stink to someone. Thanks for having no input lol

Yeah PVE in this day and age is must have, i'm tired to get into solos just to be ganked by 3-4 friends who q up at the same time and roaming around killing everybody, plus pvp is junky anyway.

I disagree, with the amount of extraction games both releasing with pve or adding pve modes after years, game developers are realizing that some players don't play games to dip their balls in someone else's mouth. I hate to break it to you, but PvP isn't the only way people like to play games. that's a troll mentality. so thanks for your feedback, it's been promptly noted and ignored to those it offends.

The only way this could work is the way Tarkov did it(which I think they did that part quite well) is to have an "offline" pve mode, that allowed people to explore the maps/fight the PvE with whatever gear they could bring into the match. You can't take any of the new gear you find outside of offline mode, but you can't lose your gear you brought in, including used consumables/ammo, ect.

That way, it would give the pve lovers what they want, and wouldn't diminish the playerbase into pve vs pvp crowd.

totally agree that i'd like a seperate mode and loot pool. hell, the AI could get better too, or change some damage settings. I just want to play a dungeon crawler like this with friends. Most people getting hard for pvp are just lonely, miserable bullies who think their life is measured by how many people they can tea bag in one day.

that's not the world we live in anymore.

i used to play alot of YuGiOh masterduel (unrelated) and the players begged for casual mode since forever. they added it and there is not a single person playing it more deserted than my phone's contacts list
pve would get boring very fast since nothings changing there just the same mobs with their same 2 attack patterns
