How often do you personally run into PvP

[The Grotesque Abomination]

A collection of data, if you will!

Always wanted to play, sale is a great time. Though, I enjoy PvP, and as I understand it, NO MAN’S SKY has a toggle for it. However, from what I have gathered on here, is that you are in server with both types of players, and if you have it on and someone else off, they can then damage you while you cannot damage them. Besides the fact that I think that really sucks—how often have you personally run into PvP while playing? Do you think I’d get my fill? Or is it truly an anomaly here, frowned upon by the majority of community.

Damn, you all are awesome. Saved me some money. I am appreciative of the informed responses.

If the main thing you were looking for was pvp, sounds like the game was spared as well.

Ah, no way. Not strictly. I enjoy leisurely strolls through space and base building. I also like having the option for PvP. But this game isn’t hot on that feature, even though it is implemented, and so I think other games would be a better investment for me for the time being. Especially with all of the reasons that have been brought to light such as no anti-cheat, etc.

Personally, I enjoy the way SEA OF THIEVES handles it. Everyone is in the same server with no option to disable PvP. Come what may. I enjoy chaos, is all. I appreciate all of the quick responses!

The way PVP works in this game is just arranged meetings by like-minded players. There is no "official" score keeping or rewards involved. It is basically doing a Bevis and Butthead. It is also completely on the honor system since it is really easy to mod your stuff to insane levels or forget to turn off your protection so the other player can't hurt you. There are no tells until you start firing at each other.

The only other activities is trying to kill aimless new players who don't yet know how to set their network settings...and that they are important.

I have seen a couple of posts where players tried to get something going. You might try Reddit.

End of the day, it is pretty lame, even if you want to do it. Find a game that promotes that stuff.

It's kind of ironic you ention Sea of Thieves, considering optional pvp/private servers is a hot topic over there.
Sounds more like you're wanting forced pvp, Where you can seal club. If that's the case there's always invasions in Elden Ring.

I’m not quite sure what forced PvP would be. If it’s enabled in the game then it’s an optional feature to engage with. I also don’t know what seal club is. I guess this is what middle age feels like? Woof. And yeah, I have been PvP-ing in Souls games since their conception. I enjoy some Elden Ring.

There's also no "servers," the game is P2P, connecting with people in the first place is optional. Most of the time you will be running around in what is essentially an offline single player experience, unless you can get a friend to join on you and teleport into your area. There isn't really a case for PvP to happen outside of planned occurrences regardless of the PvP flag, or griefing your friends who don't yet know to turn it off.

For reasons already stated here, having multiplayer turned on is a very bad idea. PvP is even worse. There are a lot of hackers and modders and nothing that can be done about them. Hell is other people in this game. You want to go for that S class alien multitool?

If multiplayer is on chances are it will not be there. If pvp is on some modder can speed gank you in the comfort of his Invincibility all the way from the other side of the planet. Everything should be arranged and agreed upon, and you should preferably know the person you are playing with well enough at least to the level of co-workers or better.

The first thing streamers do is turn off most of the games networking functions outside of the Discovery server itself. I would play this game as if you were streaming it, and mitigate all potentialities of outside interference. There is no boundary failure when I play except for the ones I visit on glitch worlds. I have also heard rumors of people being given corrupt items that can bork their saves.

I also play SoT and I accept that PvP is just part of the experience, however I play NMS to relax and not worry about other players.

I absolutely can respect that. I guess it just comes down to my personal opinion that with such a lorge game, and with so much potential for PvP not utilized, it just isn’t what I am currently in the mood to play. I also think I was kind of expecting more PvP due to the Space Pirate upgrade taking place. I know I’ll come back around to it. Each update looks more rad than the previous.

Forced pvp is exactly what Souls/ER games have: Invasions. When the game forces your coop experience to endure a pvp event when all you want to do is play with your friend. It's a terrible concept in Elden Ring especially with how unbalanced the weapons are.

pvp would be even more terrible in nms. Modders, Unbalanced upgrades,etc. Would get pretty annoying if I built a base on a nice planet and suddenly a bunch of sweatlords showed up and kept blowing up my stuff.

Nms doesn't need forced pvp like that. If you want pvp in a space game, Go play Star citizen.

I thoroughly understand what you’re saying but claiming an integrated feature such as PvP is forced in-game simply because you do not like it is both erroneous and personal preference. If PvP is a feature you do not enjoy, simply do not play those games. Reading the label and then willingly ignoring the label does not warrant grounds to express remorse. If one is given the information and plays the game anyway—that is on that person, not the game.

Many pvp games are full of hackers. Explain how that is "on that person".

The guy simply asked a question to make a better informed purchase. Stop being a toxic troll.

That is a pretty shallow way of looking at things when the function could be made so much better, Like what nms did. nms made pvp completely optional in a game they advertised as having coop, which is how it should be done. It shouldn't be like elden ring who edvertised itself as having coop and then you come to find out your coop experience can be ruined by a highly unbalanced pvp event. From a developer standpoint it is just sloppy to force an entire playerbase to pass on your games simply because of that.

Nobody is trolling, Move along if you can't handle the discussion.

May I suggest New World for folks that need some pvp in their lives. They could use some new blood.
