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.

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.

thats cool but it's so much extra work that even if they wanted to do this it would take a year atleast

That could be nice, but doubt they would do that

100% agree this game need a PVE mode like Tarkov did ! Dont tell me PVE will not work when Tarkov PVE mode is a massive success !

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

The issue there is that YGO is so fundamentally broken (despite all the love I have for the franchise I can admit that) that the difference between a "casual" and "off meta" deck can be the same distance as between the Earth and the Sun, and I'm not talking just obvious nonsense like Mushroom Man OTK, but decks that are otherwise internally consistent that are just laughably weak compared to other masses of powercreep that release.

Also Master Duel's F/L list is based on the OCG and that's literally a meta where you reserve about 9 slots of your deck to the Maxx C meta so it's no wonder that a lot of people bounced off of it imo.

Bro wouldn't PVE Dark and Darker just be FATE?

I think they should make a separate area for PvE only, just like the HR has its own section.

The loot drops are not as good, which means buying luck potions would be ideal, but it at least lets you level to 15 more easily to fully use character and then gives you a chance to find items to bring into standard play, where PvP is the most common.

that also gives you a chance to get gold to buy items on marketplace at level 20.

It is hard to hoard gold when you die often from players, just saying.

While I get and accept and enjoy the game knowing that it is a PvPvE game at it's heart, I can understand that PvE only maps would still be enjoyable for many others. Gear found on PvE maps would need to be marked in a special way such that they could not be permitted on PvP maps, to prevent easy loot horde equipping and use on PvP maps.

Players usually "hear" other players before they actually "see" them, but I get the OP's point on this regardless.

For the devs, it may not hurt to try introducing a DLC for $5 or so just for PvE and see how much revenue is made on that alone.

Its a shame this game doesnt have dedicated PvE because the game does look really fun and I want to try it, but I hate games that follow the PvP(vE) model. Its why I never got into Hunt or Tarkov despite them being pretty well made games.

Alas, like the aforementioned two, I am okay with never playing this game if PvE will never be a thing

Enough PVE games out there, go and play those.

You need to understand that every aspect of this game is made for the PvPvE experience. The new wave of players will master the PvE content within a few months, and then the focus will be shifted on getting the best loot, which is HR bosses and other players, and ranking up.
PvE will become much less of a threat, as everyone will know the attack patterns to succesfully dodge/block them as well as memorize their locations, since every mob has static placement.
In the current build the PvE content just isn't there to warrant a full and rewarding PvE experience. Ppl will become bored with it fast, and ask for more and more content. Considering Ironmace is a small team they should focus their limited resources on fleshing out the current PvPvE experience, the core concept, working to deliver the best 1.0 release they can.

Pve is the way to go .. just use an Ai for the NPC´s for both voice acting and combat and not even a cheater would be able to defeat it if it is set to highest performance ..

PVE is the way .. pvp gets boring as hell over time ..

Never understood this in various PvPvE games, the PvE is so shallow in this game, you would play it for a week and drop it forever.

you cannot reason with a fool that has a goal

Everyone saying that the game is built for PvPvE or PvP rather than PvE is correct but why is everyone disagreeing so steadily. He's not asking for them to change the whole damn game he just wants a PvE mode. Calm down there is nothing wrong with that.
