Exo Mech PvP

[R3dxFaction]

Does anyone besides me want a PVP update? am hoping with this Exo Mech update they add new ways of battling if not players then maybe sentinels.
I 've loved this game since it came out even with all its downs. Something i like to do is engage in dog fighting with other players i meet in the hub, And since there is no griefing in this game it makes it fun to kill each other without losing anything.
Exploring the same planets over and over again gets old, building bases burns you out, farming and trading is repetitive, all the game has right now to keep an old player like me is to interact with other players, chech their bases out, see who has the coolest ship or multitool.
Ii understand why no one wants pvp in this game, but honestly the people that dont want it dont play the game enough to notice its missing it. does anyone agree? or am i alone in this, if Hello Games were to add PVP how would you like it be implemented ?

I guess you can always build an arena and call some friends :D

There are people with literally thousands of hours who don't want PvP. Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean there has to be a reason that somehow makes you superior to them.
However, if you do want PvP, all you have to do is find others who want it and invite each other. PvP is already in the game, you just have to actually use it.

i mean actually implimenting it, if not pvp then pve, people that dont want player interactions already have that option, no one will take it away from them. Whats the point of being a trillionaire and having maxed out S class ships if you only use the same ship for everything, i get the charms is to explore, but they dont even add new stuff to the procedurally generated words to make it less bland to explore or build

As I said, you can already do that by getting others to play with you. You don't need an update, all the tools are already there. You just need to use them.

And what is your basis for making this assumption? I have 1000's of hours into this game and don't want PvP. I have other games for that.

[MalikChildish]

That would be.. interesting

[GoreTiger]

pvp in this game would suck. It would mostly just be higher up players who are bored running around griefing others for fun. You see this pattern in almost every loot style shooter or any game where there's pvp and you have to gather materials.

No, just No. PvP now days just means offline raiding and griefing.

Fk PVP. Hell no

NMS is a terrible platform for competitive PvP. The combat model is subpar and the save editor would allow cheating. Why don't people understand this?

If you want PvE then find a planet with lots of predators and take a walk.

There is already the ability to add other players to form up for full PVP battles. Full stop.

So then why?... seemingly OP contradicts them self by denigrating the current system claiming that, "Ii understand why no one wants pvp in this game, but honestly the people that dont want it dont play the game enough to notice its missing it."

The facts are "the opposite is true", otherwise there would be no reason for the topic at hand post by OP. Most people DO play NMS single player and Multiplayer PVE.

Interpreting this, I think OP wants to play a game called "RUST" rather than No Man's Sky... at least the perception i get from the juxtapose of the question, "current" PVP multiplayer options selections vs. PVP "on all the time".

The ONLY reason to have PVP enabled "all the time" is for the ability to random/engage/GANK and GRIEF other players (to steal or destroy there stuff) a seemingly favorite pastime of almost ALL RUST players (i've seen th vids).

Absolutely NO GOOD would come from a RUST model for a game like No Man's Sky.

However, what i think OP should be asking for is a "dedicated server instance" (likely a single solar system) where hundreds of players could log on at one time, to hunt down and blast each other at will, maybe even from pilotable capital ships and buildable planetary defenses and squad play, etc.

Here was my layman idea(s) for a "PVP server instance" from a few years ago...

@ r3xfaction: I have said this before and hate having repeat myself, but a friend and myself tried a PvP battle on a small island once. It was boring and a complete waste of both of our time. NMS is simply not designed for that type of game play.

Go find an aggressive sentinel planet and make them mad. Then you can have your combat.
