“Get people interested in OWPvP” - are you being serious here, or just a troll?
That would solve nothing, the server will not get a healthy population as you think.
And I don’t think all PvP Players will join an new server. Furthermore many complain about to be forced to do PvE Stuff - so what is Gathering then?
And after 2-3 weeks nearly no one will play on this server because it will be frustrating if you always have to gather with your friends, even just to farm.
At the moment, many player are complaining about fairness in PvP, that the mega companies have the best gear they can’t compete with.
What would you think will happen on a PvP server, when just a few people will be able to farm?
The only one trolling here apparently is you. Please read my other comments.
Been saying this is the one thing i really want from this game. Would be free from bots too. They need to nerf light armor first though
obvious troll poster
I’d join it if they did. I doubt they will though.
It wouldn’t hurt to try, people have been asking for a forced PvP server since before the game launched.
It doesn’t require all the PvPers currently on other servers to jump to this one, it would simply be a server that attracts more PvPers than normal. PvPers do PvE too, as well as gathering. Sure, some don’t want to do PvE, but NW is an MMORPG so some PvE has to be done to progress your character.
I do agree that it may suck if you’re getting ganked 24/7 and are unable to do any open world activities without having a group of your own, but I’d rather have that and contest farming/gathering areas than have people with PvP off freely doing whatever they want, at your expense.
AGS could at least mark some servers as “PvP encouraged” even if they work fundamentally the same, to simply attract more PvP players, which would in turn make OWPvP more common.
Can i ask you in which way someone that is pvp off is hurting you?
What is the issue?
To name a few: lack of random OWPvP, being unable to fight for resources, being unable to kill bots
100% they just want to farm their PvP track on newcomers
Unable to kill bots… i agree. Useless, because they respawn and start over again, but still satisfying.
Fight for resources? Well, if someone farm and put resources on the market, you can just buy what you need without ever farming yourself.
About owpvp: as i said couple of post ago, i will like to see more pvp events, leaderboards for duels, and special rewards for pvp activities, This way, i think that a lot of pve players will be interested too. For now, doing pvp is not so rewarding
I find it interesting that there are so many fortunetellers here.
An overwhelming amount of posters seem to know for certain that there are not enough players willing to play a PvP server. They seem to know exactly how such a server would fail when one has never been launched live. I have to wonder if they’ve met and interviewed all 913,000 paying customers that were on at the all-time peak.
They also seem to think that because they don’t enjoy PvP, no one else would. I don’t think they realize that they’re currently playing a game where the majority of the player base is PvE-centric because the game itself is PvE-centric.
They seem to be quite defensive when someone requests a single, fresh start, PvP server thinking that it will somehow divide the player base. That somehow all of those people who love PvE will suddenly abandon their PvE servers for that single PvP server.
Absurd.
A PvP server would invite a wider variety of players and improve the overall health of New World.
More like 3+ million. People are always trotting out this peak concurrency number without apparently knowing what concurrency means: It’s the fraction of the total player base who were all playing together at the same time. The number is always less than the total number playing.
You’re mistaking bored ridicule for defensiveness. Why ridicule? Because you guys have been at it ever since the change to the current flagging system was announced years ago, and you have been told repeatedly no by the devs.
It’s beyond flogging a dead horse. You’re flogging the mound of dirt over the ancient dead horse skeleton.
Great!
Thanks for strengthening my point on the amount of paying customers. Out of 3+ million I’m sure that 2000 or so players would love a PvP server.
You say we’ve been at it for years, do you? Oh, that must mean WE’RE HERE. Hi. Our wallets are ready. We’d still like a PvP server.
What does your wallet have to do with anything? Does the “give me always flagged or give me death!” crowd spend more on skins and other fluff? I want to see THAT survey lol.
The thing is. Pvp already exists. So if you want this mindset. Why don’t you organize a Discord with all you pvp devotees and make it an agreement to all join a low pop server perma flagged? Oh, because maybe you aren’t as popular as you think in comparison to the whole community. Or maybe because you’re scared of facing other tryhard pvp players and just want to pick on people just trying to play the game as they please? If you want this kind of environment, and claim you all share this mindset. Why don’t you fill a server with you guys and do this?
You seem to be under the impression that I’m asking for more than a single fresh start PvP world.
If you aren’t interested in this, why are you here? Just to be contrary?
The idea behind having a PvP server is to centralize people who enjoy PvP. Sometimes that means you get the short end of the stick, sometimes the other way around. Either way, there are people who enjoy it. Why stand opposed to them having a place to experience it?
If you can’t understand the futility of organizing a PvP group on PvE servers, please move on.
Is your opinion that people who enjoy PvP do not also enjoy customizing their appearance? Alright. That’s quite narrow.
Depends on how PVP server is implemented. I don’t see it improving health of New World at all if you are supposed to level on that server. It will be toxic experience to anyone who isn’t starting at launch and speed running to max. If the servers are transfer only for max level players, that should work
Great post, very well said but unfortunately you’ve used too many big words for the ride-or-die PvE crowd
