Make PvP consensual

[Kaemik]

The feedback of 90%+ of the people here is that they will quit if this game becomes toggle only PvP. That's because many of us are specifically here for such a system.

If I see you with a good laden donkey, decide I want those goods, and then cannot take them because some artificial mechanic says no. My enjoyment of the game will be decreased.

If I am a trader, and I want the risk of moving good for profit, but the markets are crashed by people running goods for zero risk. My enjoyment of the game will decrease.

If I was back in my old role of ARPK, and I want to protect people, but protecting people is a waste of time because everyone who needs protection toggles off PvP, my enjoyment of the game is decreased.

There are unique social dynamics set up in this game by the fact everyone can be killed and lose their stuff at any time. Such mechanics drive content for bad guys, good guys, and self-interested traders. If those mechanics disappear... most of the current community will leave. Do you think this game has quality enough PvE to compete with all the WoW clones their new audience would need to be taken from when they do?

For the sake of reaching a broader audience and keeping the game enjoyable for those of us who only have so little time to play in the evening who, as a result, will never be as skilled as the unemployed people, I think it would be a great idea to make PvP consensual.

This could be achieved by having a PvP option for every player that, when enabled, let's them damage other players who have it enabled only.

Not only will this prevent ganking, it would make the game a lot more enjoyable for people who only really play the game for the sake of PvE, such as myself. Making it an option will ensure the people who are really into PvP will still have all the PvP they want while those who just want to have some PvE fun without being interrupted by PvP groups will get to do what they enjoy best.

No.

Thanks for shrinking down these various cases, maybe literal cases can be more understandable to people without imagination or sandbox experience.

New World might be the game you are looking for OP..

Im back boyz, only to wake up with this kind of thread

 

[Meos]

Nice b8 m8

 

[Kebek]

No.

That's not really an argument.

 

[Kebek]

there is no need to argue
LOL

I know. I think most of us already agree that PvP should be consensual.

"Excuse me Mister, do you mind if I start hitting you, or would that be too much of a bother ?"

"Please just let us smash your keep down, pretty please ?"

Imagine this version of MO, they almost reached that point in MO tbh...

For the record, I'm not a huge PvP'er.....I'm sure many here can attest to that. Andy yet, moving away from the danger of being randomly attacked to "consensual " PvP in MO2 would make it a different game altogether. So the simple answer is No to your OP Statement. Also, SV will never do it as their branding has always been as a "full-loot PvP MMO".

Dealing with some philosophical and existential dilemma.

but seriously full loot is unique, keep it 100%

Well, if were honest there are guards in the large towns. There is also incentive to NOT randomly kill people but yeah, you can be killed at anytime for no reason.

Aahahahaha that's the funniest shit I've heard all week.

Consensual pvp would kill this game. The core audience of the game are players that want a hardcore experience. That is the game selling point. If you want consensual pvp, this game is not for you.

great thats an awsome idea you can go play wow or guild wars or something like that, the point of this game is to be open world with open pvp like real life, there would be 0 wars over resources or dungeons, wich are core features of the game, who in their right mind would run a dungeon with pvp on while some guy with pvp off can just wait around till he gets low hp and change his mind about pvp in the moment...

i will not come back to this post and for the sake of sanity i will assume this was nothing but a troll post.

if it was not, its sad that after so many explanations you fail to see the point and you think this is all about choices... (i wonder if you would petition to remove stuns in wow because they remove the choices from the gameplay of the people that get stuned lel...)

 

[BongRips]

No, dont

I am sorry you have been so tainted by the internet community that you now have to resort to dismissing different opinions as "trolling". I hope you get better soon.
