@D3ADST1CK is right here -every Event is a possible PvP Event, we had some of them end of 2018.
Rum Runners and the Thieves Have run is still kinda some.
Every Server Event is a PvEvP Event.
@hexternal sagte in Adding a PvP Event:
Rare admit to agreeing with any play style that the sea of thieves provides. PvEers, PvPers and PvEvPers.
let me ask you where is that from, becuase i think it is wrong or lets say this was never said.
First of all the game is about PvE that is contested in a open free for all PvP world.
Call it PvEvP or PvPvE it doesnt matter because it says the same, PvE and PvP belong together.
There is no PvErs tbh. you cannot not PvP in SoT, even if you run or just watch the horizon you are already preapring, defeding, reacting to possible threads.
This is not an Arena, this is a sandbox like environment and the PvP is all around.
The pirates focussing on PvP solely have a self inflicted problem in a game that wasnt made to solely PvP.
You can do that all power to you, but please dont try to change the game to your favors, it would only disturb the balance of the game in regards of PvEvP.
PvP happens best organically, because this is a sandbox adventure, again not an Arena you login and know where and what to fight.
So I think it’s about time we see a PvP related event. (Since there have been many, many PvE events so far).
Again, all the PvE Events happen in a open PvP environemnt, they were all PvEvP Events.
There has never really been anything in Adventure Mode that requires players to kill or fight other players.
For good reasons, you can go o Arena to do that. Not that i support Arena, it is exactly the thing that attracted all the PvP demanding players who just seem to not understand the game in adventure mode.
The Reapers Bones Faction was close to being one of the greatest parts about this game, a purely PvP/stealing faction. However, the majority of the users of this faction, use it just for a gold boost for their world event stacks.
seen, best evidence for what the game really is and not what many PvP focussed players think about and want it to be.
To make a PvP event fair, it would make sense that there wouldn’t be a large number of kills/damage dealt to other players or ships required to progress and complete this event. This will avoid the exclusion of new players or lower skilled/inexperienced PvPers to the event.
there is already some stolen loots achievements/ commendations.
I think a lot of the SoT player base would support this and see it as an interesting addition for however long the event was active. It would also encourage player with little PvP experience to take part in PvP, which in turn will benefit them with enjoyment or improvement in PvP in general, which will support these players to defend their PvE loot in the future. Win-Win for both sides.
EDIT: I just want to a address I’m not a crying PvPer who wants Rare to sacrifice all their work just to abide to the diehard PvPers who only care for the PvP in this game. I am very interested in the PvE in this game as well. I just thought that a PvP event would be a nice thing to add since the events have mainly been PvE based.
then best is to have PvP happen organic and restrict the serverhopping and make the server events or one new server event be super intersting and everone want to do it and is willing to figh for it.
this was how it was in early 2018 and forts. And it was the best time regarding PvP in SoT.
Forts spawned Rare and provided the best and worthy loot in the game, everyone wanted to do them and earn gold to buy the first cosmetics.
The problem with less contestes Server Events and loot is, loot comes by very easy in multiple ways, people are saturated with gold and loot to easily and its not worth the hassle to fight over an event, because the next one pops up in 30 minutes and if there is not the event you want people hop server.
People hop server to find and to avoid PvP.
All this are decicions Rare made over the time analysing the data.
Now the game is popular and we have a split community of hardcore PvE ginders, hardcore PvP hoppers and whatnot.
An event no matter what will be cheesed, avoided or grinded and change nothing.
If you want more PvP Rare need to have something rarely happening on servers, that cannot be cheesed by hopping servers and almost everyone want to do it and is willing to fight for it.
