If you think there's no pve then you need to explain what you think pve is

[Cordially_yours_Dennis]

Maybe you mean PvP? PvE= Player vs Environment. PvP= Player vs Player.

the most pvp focused game ive ever played, even when in group you have to fight your friends to shoot the animal first so you can get the loot

This has got to be a joke 😂You understand that PVE doesn't have to involve combat at all, right? PVE and PVP are terms referring to how players engage with a game or its game modes. Any sort of competitive activity can be classed as PVP whereas any non-competitive activity is PVE even if there's no combat involved. Crafting and farming are PVE activities in any game that has them.

If combat is what you mean by PVE, then no. Palia doesn't need combat, bosses, raids, etc. There's nothing wrong with an online game focusing solely on farming and crafting. If you want combat, there are so many games out there you can play instead, so see if your wife would be interested in any of them in case you wanna play together. FFXIV might please both of you if you can be bothered to pay the monthly sub, as it has very extensive gathering and crafting systems. Let Palia be the strictly cozy game it is.

I actually agree. I would love some actual combat elements and dungeons beyond just basic platforming/exploring puzzles.

So either OP actually doesnt know what pve is or the title and his dialogue are an attempt to dissuade players from joining....

This is purely pve... there are NO pvp elements... and I a PVP mainly player am loving this game... its nice to relax and not be yelling all the time and simply sit here in the company of friends doing something that doesnt make me rage lol

The game is very relaxed... the community as far as i have seen has been amazing.... its played by both PC and switch players currently so... the playerbase is nice....

I would suggest giving it a go and trying it out

I've never heard anyone use "PVE" to refer to anything non-combat. And PVP does not mean high score leaderboards, it means directly interacting with other players in competition. This game is almost entirely co-op, not pvp. Yes you can snipe prey and ores etc but its not an intended competition, and many resources can not be harvested in one "attack" (whether pick, axe, bow, bomb, etc)

[Kinsoku-Nyan]

Well, funny you should say that: it IS PvE, from the very start of the game release. There's no competition in-game, since it's mostly shared loots anyway. If you hurt a Sernuk (the deers in this game) and someone kills it, you'd still get the loots, wherever it is killed. Someone trying to mine your Copper rock? Shared. Another player trying to capture your bug? Shared. Someone cutting down your tree? Shared. No matter what, it will always be PvE...or, in this case, co-op.

There is zero PvE in Palia. At no time is the player attacked by anything, which is good because you have no health. Shooting an arrow at a deer and having it run off isn't combat. It is hunting.

I mean, you don't have to have health to have combat. They could just make the player get temporarily stunned like Animal Crossing

[Exploding_Acorn]

Last time I saw the devs discuss PvE combat it had been planned for, but wouldn't be a launch feature. I'm assuming launch meant open beta launch, not 1.0. So unless they pivot it's on the way at some point.

If Op meant something more along the lines of fighting enemies that fight back in the game, they do intend to one day introduce PvE battles into the game, but they are said to be completely optional and not forced. The devs already made it clear there will NOT be any PvP elements in the game, period.

That sounds good to me.

Player Versus Environment. The game is a pacifist life sim. There is no conflict. Farming trees and catching fish is not PvE.
