bioned 36 Posted February 22, 2014 i know KOS is a crucial aspect of the game and people will call me a troll just because i point out something that doesnt agree with their mindset but there are people out there who aim to enjoy the survive aspect of the game so.... yeah... will PVE servers come in handy later?

soulfirez 901 Posted February 22, 2014 Once private hive servers are out if you want to make a pve server then its your choice ( not a choice i agree with but hey i dont have to join it so it doesnt bother me ) This may not be for quite a while so for now your going to have to deal with the fact someone might want to kill you for your beans or just the lolz of it all... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scofflaw 73 Posted February 22, 2014 Where's the challenge in pve? Zombies would have to be a lot tougher to get any kind of enjoyment out of pve. With a fire axe and a bag of rice, you can last for a good couple of hours with no challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted February 22, 2014 Unfortunately, yes, but only for Private Servers, which are going to have abusive A-hole little kid admins given the nature of the person who cries for PvE-only. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted February 22, 2014 Only on private hives, and even then they won't be fully PVE, assholes will still join them despite white listing and kill as many people as they can before they get banned, probably even lie and say 'they shot me first I only defended myself'. Unless there's a feature where player damage can be turned off completely, as in you can headshot someone all day and you'll just be wasting ammo, there will never be full PVE.

libertine 351 Posted February 22, 2014 If zombies were like 28 DayZ Later zombies and their speed could be a server option or something and they could grab you and pull you down and other stuff, that would be quite a challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golden Child 73 Posted February 22, 2014 I believe they could implement another gamemode where it gives you another character save (like regular/hardcore) but called friendly or something where there is no PvP and just let the people run around there. Although i doubt after you experience it without the threat of other players you will crawl back to pvp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinealogik 3 Posted February 22, 2014 No. They already said it, PVE will never happen. Dayz is a PvP game. Either deal with it or GTFO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) No. They already said it, PVE will never happen. Dayz is a PvP game. Either deal with it or GTFO.please stick to the facts rather than brand your opinions facts and label them such or you may aswell take your own advice... Edit i dont believe anyone who answered the op is interested in a pve server but realize that infact private hive servers will come have been confirmed and with that come admin control on rules hell if they wanted to they could enforce no wearing pants ( i dont think anyone would would they lol) Edited February 22, 2014 by SoulFirez 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerandar 212 Posted February 22, 2014 Private hives will be able to enforce whatever rule set they want so I guess thats a yes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is being hunted by the best AI you can imagine not a challenge to survival? Pretend the KoS are E and you are set. They don't interact with you, except maybe some clearly scripted death chants and seek only to shoot you in the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepfried 95 Posted February 22, 2014 but there are people out there who aim to enjoy the survive aspect of the game You mean complete noobs to the game? Look, the game is a piece of piss, you can get fully gear and survive until judgement day within a few hours of spawning. PvP is the only challenge. Trust me, you would be bored ridged of PvE within 1 evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PvP is the only challenge. Trust me, you would be bored ridged of PvE within 1 evening.Why PvE or PvP? Jeeze, some people don't like turning the coast into a game of deathmatch, and some don't like churning up zed brains into tooth paste.The point is, be creative. Your killed or be killed mentality spoils the fun of "middle ground" gamers. I enjoy the survival aspect and have logged 112 hours of Standalone play. I have memorized every game function that I have found, and have become adaptable. I am certainly no noob. You know what I do when I am kitted?Instead of the bambi hunting that you call PvP, I hand out food and water at the coast. I do rescue missions and save lives. These people trust me, without knowing me. And I trust them. So understand this; this isn't Call of Duty, stop trying to pretend it is. DayZ is a plethora of unscripted human interaction. It isn't a military sim, it's a survival game and a work of art. And I love it for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted February 22, 2014 DayZ is a plethora of unscripted human interaction. PvE servers are not "unscripted human interaction" Usually they ban you for murdering people, and all have strict "rules of engagement". If they could turn off "friendly fire" I'm sure a fair amount would. Restrictive and forced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop trying to change the minds of the PvP players and start thinking of them as NPC challenges to your efforts. They are basically unpaid actors, bringing a unique challenge to the game, with absurdly two-dimensional play that does little more than provide you with bonus content.

Might be a mistaken reading on my part. The lack of rules is essential to the authenticity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd need it for the simple minded goof balls who can't imagine why you'd want to play that way come to tip over your chess board right in the middle of your game. Me, i want PVP with bandit armbands so i can put all the KOS'ers back on the beach all day long, but thats me. Edited February 22, 2014 by Thane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They want a private hive for PvE? Let it be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SneezeJunky 12 Posted February 22, 2014 Personally I don't like PvE servers. But as some already said. When Community/private servers gets up and running I could imagine some players making PvE servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted February 22, 2014 Op you are mixing up KOS with PVP. KOS is part of PVP and PVP is a crucial part of this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Isn't it a tad disturbing, that even a prospect of some small private hive server with PvE rules, makes people's Jimmies rustled to the max?If it's private hive, those PvE lads will not be able to join any other servers with their gear, so what is the issue here? Will you really enjoy your game less for knowing, there are some PvE lads playing as well?And maybe, one day, they will learn the ropes and sail out to the big world of PvP / KOS ? disclaimer: I would not want DayZ to be PvE, but when talking about private hives, let the people decide themselves what the rules should be.

Valadain 270 Posted February 22, 2014 I may have given the impression that the thought of PvE private servers bothers me, it doesn't. I'm just trying to give an alternate way to think about the current game so people can relax and enjoy it a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
