Full Solo gameplay?

[Blaidd]

Will this game have a story mode? and can it be played completely single player without the participation of other online players?

[Kingkat54]

Yes. Check some of the videos by Riloe. Talks about PVE

PVP ,,PVE ,,,servers are separate

Hello friend,
As far as we know there won't be a Single player or offline mode. The extent will go to PvE servers later on once everything is done and prepared.

Isnt PVE considered a single player mode?

Single player additionally means developers take time and ressources to balance the game for singleplayers (e.g. enemy difficulty, amount, storyline etc.), while PvE most likely will balance the game according to the realistic setting (e.g. some bases only can be attacked with a very dedicated team etc.).

Six Days of Fallujah has exactly that problem: If you try alone, you can, but it's awfully hard and will frustrate the majority of the playerbase if you title the game with "Soloplay". So they keep the settings for singleplayers, but will implement friendly bots later.

Scaling enemy amount and difficulty could ease this pain a bit, would be interested as well, if devs think about that stuff (e.g. server with an avg. of 4 players against a server where 16 players work together - will the setting on the server scale/adept or will it be super hard with few people while super easy with a full team?).

Player vs AI is a good idea.

PvE won't be offline, it still will be played on dedicated servers. But afaik there won't be any ENEMY players, only friendlies. The only enemies will be the AI

No, PvE itself is not necessarily single player - although single player must always be PvE. PvE only means Player/s -vs- Environment (bots) - so if you think about that you realize that a player can play against bots either by himself OR with other players on his team - either way it's PvE. so while we will be able to play player vs bots we do not yet know how well, or not, the difficulty will scale down for a single player.

if you enjoy shooting some lame AI's in a massive 100km map doing nothing but running then yes the solo experience is 100% up your alley

You've obviously never played a decent Arma3 mission.

But regardless, if you have nothing constructive to contribute to the discussion then why not just move on? Seems silly to put others down just to suit your own personal issues.

PvE is quite literally offline without opposing players. PvPvE is online with opposing players. . . .


Devs have already confirmed that PvE will be their dedicated mode without opposing players in these servers, but can still be played in co-op.

If the A.I is anywhere near as brutal as Tarkov, then it won't even matter.

Too add, some people really don't want to deal with cheaters in PvPvE games. I would prefer to play in PvPvE servers in GrayZone, but if cheaters are going to ruin the experience, I got no problem going into a PvE servers with friends.

Grayzone will have dedicated PvE servers without other players for PvP, but I still believe you have to be connected to their servers.

@Uncle_Festus - PvE will not be an "offline" mode. it will require you to join a server so this means that an internet connection is required and therefore is played online. Which, by the way has nothing to do with whether the mode is competitive (PvP or not (PvE).

Even though, yes you have to be online to connect to a PvE server, PvE servers are not competitive and will not have any type of PvP in them. in a PvP server, you have a 0% chance of being killed by an actual enemy player. Their PvE servers are designed for solo players who want to play the story and those who want to play only co-op; who DON'T want PvP engagements. If players want PvP engagments, they will have to join a PvPvE severs, hence PvP. This has already been confirmed by the devs, so don't understand why you keep trying to argue that there might be PvP in PvE servers.


On top of all of that not sure where you gathered that PvE in games hints that's there's going to be PvP. Every open world PvE game I have ever played doesn't have PvP unless it specifically says PvPvE.
