Did this game get a PVE only mode?

[hipstertrollviking]

I heard there was a trials update and they added not too long ago. Does this game have a PVE only mode? I do not enjoy the prospect of playing multiplayer with non-friends and losing my gear and character to some rando griefer.

If not i will simply move along. Thanks for your time.

No, and it never will. Hunt is a PvP game.

[BonesawMcGraw]

Basically you don't like the main features of this game.

[Underground Soldier]

ok! go and close a door!

[AllYourToothbrushAreBelongToUs]

Yes, every evening at 19 you get a PVE only mode called "Server maintenance".

[Civilian Squirrel Operator™]

They are right, though. If you don't like PvP, this isn't the game for you.

[Dmitriy]

no

[Dmitriy]

but a trial that you need to defend a place (in group) against hordes (waves) and would be rewarded with bloody boundys, skin or hunting dollars, something like that, it would be interesting ... but it has to be an event and that is not for ever

Why everyone so hate PvE mode? Why its so hard to understand what setting and guns are cool and can perfectly work for PvE modes? PvE mode can be perfect for this game because servers are trash for PvP, but for PvE its OK. And 2 year statistics says what PvP is not popular at all. Left 4 Dead 2 (PvE game) as example have 30k online. It's old as hell, without content and still have better online.

I think what devs just wasting their time with PvP, just because they cant create normal PvP gameplay (bad matchmaking, horrible servers and etc), and even lose their opportunity to make game popular with PvE mode.

And do not tell me what your PvE mode just means the same Bounty Hunt mode, but without players. PvE mode must be different. As example like Left 4 Dead or Monster Hunter.
I even will be glad if they can create another version of Hunt as FPS shooter with real weapons, real physics, real gore, dark nights and with many bosses and monsters. I see it as hunting on monsters, where you can see tracks of boss. Boss must be really smart and can hide in different houses and even compounds. Here even can be PvP mode with should be hardcore as hell and must be like survival game.

With a good PvE mode Hunt can get casual players, which can buy skins, DLCs, Blood Bonds and etc, so Crytek can have more money for a new content and better servers. This means what they can fix PvP modes. Casual players after PvE mode can try PvP mode and online will be better. And this is the reason why I cant understand why Hunt community do not want to see a PvE mode. You all here just losing opportunity to make game better and popular.

Because its not a PvE game? Why waste resources and devtime and splitting the base even more. I even started maxing this game just because its a PvP game with a minor PvE objective to make PvP more pushed.

It's not PvP either. It's PvEvP. Main point in the game to kill boss and get bounty, not to kill people. Also game can works without players at all.

Maybe they already do not have resources because their PvP game is unpopular? Casual players already do not want to play in it, so it's already splitted. I can say more, this players, who deleted their game, now investing their money in other games, so devs of this games can create more content. As I said, you all here just losing opportunity to make game better and popular.

no one has fun walking in killing boss and leaving.

there's zero threat when that happens and it's rather boring. many players hit a money threshold and just look to kill players too. when you have 10k$ there's zero reason to fk around in the map for money outside of thats where the kills are

it's a PVPve game and the E only serves as a gathering place for the pvp to happen

The game has double in player base (concurrent players) in the last 5 months... the game is plenty popular lol

that's just on steam, too.

Who cares? This is the main rule of the game. Without bounties you can't continue to play in a pure PvP.

Actually it have reasons: Blood Bonds and Prestige (skins).

You can believe in it as long as you can. But you should read description of Hunt, which says "PvEvP"

No, it's not. It's event and new boss. This is the reason why game have 30k online. I can say what game have FAR MORE people than this "30K", but they do not want to play in Hunt. As example, if will be a new map, then maybe online will be 30-40k. But right now after event online will be 8-16k as always.

and no one would be playing if it was just pve, so your point is irrelevant. Running in and killing bosses is a figured out system (one sticky) and zero threat. The E only exists as a reason to force players to fight (limited pve commodity) and an area to fight around. That's what it exists for. Very rarely if ever do teams die to the environment and its only purpose is disruption in the pvp. That's what the game is played for.

The game grew in huge player numbers prior to the event too, but good try.
