How does the PvE work in this game?

[The Ripper {Panda}]

Been debating on buying this game but am on the fence due to all the hackers and how sour the community apparently is. How is the PvE though? Is it just you and your buddies against the world?

PvE is outright boring. The real action in this game is the player base raiding honestly. Huge rush when its going well lol.

Well... I think on PvE server you can't kill the other player... but they can raid you, so you can't defend yourself. BUT there are PvP server which are actually PvE with the rules (no killing, only near airdrops or while raid) I play this type of server and it's great. Sure, the developer(s) need the improve the world, the AI, types of enemies, etc. to make it better.

One of the servers i play on is PvE, and it does have PvP enabled, as in, you can shoot your neighbor, just the admin kindly asks you not to, at the risk of giving you the boot, because all you're doing is KoS.

The people are also friendly for the most part, there was a wipe today, and soon as i rejoined to do some rebuilding, i got a group of guys coming out of a house that were up to helping me without me even asking, and not shoot me in the face. Thats something you don't see very much lol.

From there, your experience is just chill out, build, survive, hunt, gather, kill some zombies for blueprints, research kits, etc etc.

Basically its Rust without the assaulting and KoS, "you and your buddies against the world" is suitable description yea.

There's a few servers like that.

In general, servers with smaller populations are better for solo play. You aren't harassed as much, not as many big groups, etc,.

It's funny how playing on a smaller server, compared to a larger one, can have such a huge impact on the gameplay itself; it's almost like playing two totally different games.

Well I tried a highly populated official server... geez that was weird. Houses, shelters everywhere (mostly abandoned, raided... like a ghost town) a lot of people killing on sight... so my first plan is was to quick make some weapons and surprise the KOS-ers... I failed, tried to get an airdrop with nothing but 3 hand cannons...

Getting this game for PVE would be like getting CS:GO for PVE.

I hope one day they will give PvE attention, but right now it isn't even an afterthought and it will get even less PvE after they remove zombies.

[Simple Man]

Zombies are getting replaced once they are removed, so there will be something, we just don't know what yet, i don't think.

And this game is perfectly doable in PvE. I play both tbh, whenever it gets a bit too slow, i get on a PvP one, when its too hectic, i'll switch to PvE, and so on and so forth.

There are (were at least) PvE servers with entire towns in them lol, thats a lot of building. Its just their thing, let them do it. And yea, works perfectly well.

Probably they will replace zombies, not remove.

Sure hope they'll replace them ...
Hell... that's the only KIND OF real threat that we have for the pve part ...

i heard they were replacing them with some kind of killer monster chicken, that in all rights only resembles a chicken when it loitering... not sure where i saw that though.
