I know this has been debated over and over but honestly. Whats the harm in the option being there. Its not like anyone will be foreced to play on the servers. Although i love PVP, I would enjoy having the option to run around and explore free of being destroyed by a sniper at certain times too. Would definitly help the teaming up and working together side of the game thats disappeared now due to people KOS to avoid losing all their stuff. Put it in, make it optional. 100 or so PVE servers arent gunna affect anyone but the peopel who want them there in the first place. Like I said whats the harm?

Would be great if they ahad their own personal hives, however that costs the devs money. Id be happy with a private server, open to anyone but with a decent no pvp reinforcement. That way theres no loot farming and it doesnt affect the main game at all. Putting NO PVP in the title, which is what is done now, just attracts people who want to annoy others. A no PVP option like the crosshair on or off would be enough. The only option we have now is password protecting it, kinda defeats the point of having a server for teamwork. Anyway im done posting now. If anyone has any other reasons, other that they dont like the game without PVP, let me know :)

Yes but thats your personal opinion. I enjoy the game even without the PVP aspects and many people feel the same. Theres tons of topics asking for a no pvp feature. I'll say again, whats the harm in having an option for these people to go onto a no PVP server. You would not be forced to take part in them at all, and your game experience would not be affected in the slightest, however the people who dont enjoy the 'shit-can-hit-the-fan-at-any-time' aspect can also play the game the way they want to. I would still play on PVP servers most of the time, but sometimes i just want to relax and work together with random players to rebuild cars, scavange, fight off large hoards ect. On a PVP server its almost impossible to do this because of players tendancies to kill on sight to protect themselves.

My point is I dont WANT a password protected server. I want anyone to be able to join, if they wish but not be able to pvp. At the moment there is no way to enforce this unless you are a server admin. There should be a no pvp feature that does not allow shots at players to be taken in the first place on these select servers. Non pvp servers are not immortal player servers. Players can still die from zombie attacks, falling ect. Its still the same game, but with limitations. Same as how MMOs have both PVE and PVP servers. ( im aware this is nothing like an MMO) I honestly dont see the problem with this. The whole point of a game is to have fun, and if sometimes a player wants to explore without the risk of being killed by a sniper then I think they should be able to.

I would like to add i know almost nothing about hosting servers, ect. Im very much a noob when it comes to stuff like this and i apologize for that. As far as im aware though, even with a private server not connected to hive, there is no way to make it open to public and, simultaneously ensure no bandits join and kill people without banning each one individually.

I dont like fully private servers as they limit options for playing with strangers. I think the game would be alot more fun if you could team up with randoms, instead of just friends. However that also means people can come in and kill anyways to piss people off, which is why i would like a proper no pvp feature. I do agree that PVE characters should not be able to switch to PVP servers. I think some of the servers have a no switch feature already so wouldnt be hard to do.
