    Devs take note. LOOK AT ALL THOSE SWIVELS! STOP HOLDING OUT ON US, GIVE US WHAT WE WANT AND RIGHTFULLY DESERVE!

    As for POTBS a respectful F to them, it's now up to NA to carry the torch

    Up to NA? Heaven help us then.

     

    But look on the bright side when NA goes under in the next year or so there is sea of thieves and skull and bones.

    Someone needs to teach this guy paragraph structure.  Good grief.  My 10th graders can write better. 

    Basically the summary of this post is that because BR mechanics are messed up it's ok to bring alts in cutters. 

    So it's ok for Aven to  exploit broken BR mechanics, but not Sir Texas and his group to use another exploit. Why don't you call out players like Aven for his use of exploits?

    Well, I personally lost quite some ships in my trade runs. I do not mission a lot so the same did not happen to me in mission. But a lot of traders and missioners in my factions lost their ships to gankers and no revenge fleet could avoid this. So point 2 is at least disputable. There is less risk but not O risk as you state.

    As far as point 1 is concerned, I stil fail to understand in which sense reducing the cost for replacing ships and allowing people (so, even PVPers) to move with more ease between ports will lead to a PVE only gameplay. Can you explain it to me, please?

    PVE only is almost 0 risk, just look at the PVE only server.  Almost no risk of loss, and it's a basically a dead server.  If you play PVE only on a PVP server there is still risk.

    You identify PVE with missions? Well you are wrong. The important part of PVE that influences PVP and RvR is crafting (and, to a certain extent, also trading). Since in one server PVE and PVP are connected, I am perfectly entitled to talk about the problems of the cost of accessbility of the ships and about the timesinks in OS navigation.

    Problem is that a lot of PVPers do not realize that - in a MMO game - they just burn the resources that other players produce. So if those "other player" stop producing (or if they produce at a very low pace) also the PVP players will have much less to burn and, then, their gameplay also gets worse.

    Problem is with PVE only players is that they don't realize.

     

    1. This game will not survive as PVE only. No matter how much you want it, just won't happen.

    2. PVE only gameplay ( in NA) is almost 0 risk. No risk of getting sunk and losing ships, no reason to replace them, which leads to boring and tedious gameplay, which leads to empty servers( aka PVE only server)

  5. PVE server needs to be more than the limited scope trading sim if it's to thrive.

    To this point the devs have shown little interest in making a PVE only server viable long term. There is a reason it's a ghost town on the PVE server.

    Simply put there is not enough standalone content to keep it viable. 

    If this is not changed, we will be in the same spot we were just in, only 18-24 months later. I am sad to say I see this mess happening again.

    Most of the PVE only guys demanding that it remains will not be here in 18-24 months. They do not care if the game fails or succeeds. They just want their own special place until the game dies.

    If the game is here in 18 months, we will see who is right.

    I personally want a PvE server because after a day's work I sometimes want to play without looking over my shoulder all the time. Also some battles can be very lengthy and I not always have the time to cater all the gankers.

    Why are you assuming PVP is all gankers?

    Its rare that I see anyone get ganked, but it seems you might be one of the" I want the game to play itself types"

    Your not really playing a game is if all you do is point your ship in a direction and check on it after 40 mins of doing something else.

     

    If we are to have a PVE only server, than we need aggressive AI to make it more than a walk away game.

    Actually in a majority of the comments here the term Carebear has been in a negative manner. It would seem that the greater part of the population here are strictly combat orientated and look down on those that prefer trade or crafting. The part I find amusing is when the players who do no craft go looking for something that needs to be crafting and get upset at the price to produce it.

    My understanding, and I believe that of at least a few others is that this was to be primarily focused on combat. PVE content is needed for obvious reasons but the main focus is/was combat.

    i think the reason so many PVE only guys are looked down on is they give the impression that they want a PVE only game. I seen a few say this should be a trading sim. And that's why they bought it. Then they get confused/angry when the majority gets upset with them.

    no point in doing anything with this game till the wipe comes, why waste time trading, or pb, or crafting, whats the use? testing for over a year only to see all we have gotten gone and start from scratch, again. oh well, ill be back in a month to see what if anything has gotten better before i decide to delete this game and go look for something else to waste my time on! while some will like the complete wipe, there will be many more who will not and hence we will see, once again, players dropping away. add this to the combined server and seperate serves, i do not see this game ever going to full release. at least i only wasted $40 cash. wonder how world of warships is doing, guess ill be checking back in there again!

    If you don't like the prospect of wipes to test changes in development why sign up for EA?

    PcE zones on PvP/E servers are a good thing. It allows switching gameplay (PvE---> PvP --> PvP/E). Pure PvP fighters should be happy to get more potential opponents on the server (PvE-ers tempted to try PvP). Being on the same server favour PvE-PvP switching : no need to  earn gold and craft or buy ships again. That's good. Being able to play faster and more easily favours gameplay and game experience. 

    Just make the PvE zones in the Gulf of Mexico more appealing with AI aggressiveness (bots attacking PvE-ers) and more (imaginary) islands and it'd be perfect.

    I think the issue with making AI aggressive is a lot of PVE only players just want to trade and craft, they really have no interest in fighting unless it's ganking solo AI ships.

    nothing can be abused when u are flagged permanent as a PVE player what u cant change (is a permanent choice u set at the beginning and cant be undone). so u have three kind of players the bots, the PVP and the PVE players.

    and you are not the speaker here man!

     

    Your right, a PVE only ship sitting outside a port to spy on PVP players movements, or following a PVP players armada, without the fear of attack would never be abused.

    Transporting resources on invulnerable ships would never be abused as well.

    How you cannot see this I don't understand, unless your the type that would be abusing the system which is far more likely.

     I agree with EROS.  Been playing this game with him of a long time.  The changes you (Devs) are proposing will destroy the game.  I know the devs do not listen to the majority of the players, just a select few.  I had started this game on PvE, it is a great learning server.  Now you are forcing new players to  start in a small area, and not really fully understand the game and its needed ways to play it.  The bigger problem is that starting the game for a new player, being forced into a small area, what keeps the (children) for going into these areas and laying waste to these new players?

    All in all this happens I am gone, was on PvP, and got tired of all the BS there.  Came back to PvE, and now enjoying the game again.  To bad, was a great game.  Now with these changes, it will no longer be fun.  Like I always said to many playing this game:  It is only a F**king game, have fun!  Now you are taking that away.

    Funny you claim the devs are only listening to a small minority of players, which in this case happens to be the PVE only players.

    If what you said is correct, then they would be removing PVP instead of the PVE server.

    I really think this is a bad direction for the game, everyone I have talked to about this on the PVE server says that they will be very annoyed if this happens, and most of them say that this will likely lead to them quitting the game. Looking at the steam charts (http://steamcharts.com/app/311310), it is easy to see that this game is loosing players (I don't like it either, but I am just stating facts), and if you (the devs), go through with this, you will be alienating and loosing a significant amount of your player base, which isn't good for any game. I completely agree with what ER0S said earlier, and I sincerely hope that you consider our thoughts and listen to your players.

    Thanks, Ethan. 

    PVE averages what, less than 100 per night tops?.

     

    Why does barely 10 percent of the games population insist on acting like they are 90 percent of the games population?

    I wish to say how much I dislike this ides of getting rid of the PvE server. I, regretfully, bought this game to play PvE. I would like a refund, but that will never happen,

    PvP just engenders a bunch of nasty, immature jackasses who go out of their way to harass others. Their only goal is to destroy the work and time other people have invested.

    Your "simple and elegant" answer is utter horse shit. I, as a PvE player, will be limited to small areas of the game world? Then I should certainly get a refund, for I am unable to play most of the game,

    In short, I will NOT recommend this game, with these changes. Indeed I will pan it.

     

    Typical PVE participation trophy player winner response. You want a sense of accomplishment without doing anything.

    PVE is too limited in this game to justify its own server.  An overly simple trading system and ganking AI ships may appeal to a small percentage such as yourself, but few here seem to want a game you turn on then walk away to take a nap.
