PvE server not good solution ? Read this !

[bloodfirst]

Yeah lot of ppl don't really care about forums in general and the real minority on this server are the active ( or atleast those who look at the forum ) posters.

The total serv pops is maybe more than 10k players, when we say 6k+ players we talk about connected at the same time.

If we reach 7k players ( or if we're still at ~6k an other month ) connected at the same time, I would really like Nostalrius team to think about a PvE realm option. The game has not be designed to support more than 3-4k players ( connected ) on a same server for vanilla and having 2 servers with both ~2-3k players would be much enough to reproduce Blizzlike experience

Time will tell us if this a necessity or not, if one month later the pop decreases to 3-4k or less then a second server option won't be useful and the overwhelming gank issues will fade away.

This. Don't think there will be another server because of this issue.

No other responses? This is a hot topic on this forum, nobody else wants to weigh in???

I'd be pretty happy with this, but it doens't look like it'll happen so we battle on, despite issues. As long as you can still do end game content, that's all that really matters.

Just drop it. The devs are NEVER going to make this realm PvE (or "PvP Lite" or whatever the OP was prattling on about) so we just have to deal with gankers, griefers, and other people with small genitalia.

"whaa the people killing me have small penises"

why do cry babies ALWAYS think someone's dick is small because they did something you didn't like

either start going into the world with a buddy or quit

people crying "MUH PvE" are utter cancer

I like the idea of flagging yourself for PVE, but I think it would be a mess to allow this on a PVP server. Besides I don't believe such a thing would be possible. It wasn't Blizzlike so the Devs would have to create this functionality. In terms of PVP in MMOs as far back as I can remember - and I'm stretching all the way back to my Asheron's Call days from 1999 - I've never heard of any PVP server allowing PVE flag.

Still, again, it's a pretty cool idea. If the staff wanted to offer it to the community I would definitely support it.

Deal with it. At some point around lvl 35, I realised that you can't "play it cool" - if you don't kill the horde on sight, they will kill you. It's simple part of the game - red = dead. Follow that and you'll see yourself much much less terorized in world pvp : )

Hi tosheybellamy.

I would like to offer you this from the horde perspective. I can't speak for every Horde but the reason why I attack Alliance on sight is because of all the shenanigans Alliance have done to me. Your "merry" band of level 60 ne'er-do-wells have invaded Grom'gol - my adopted home in Strangethorn Vale - and slaughtered everyone and everything I hold dear. When I'm out running errands for a poor NPC, psychopathic members of your faction kill me then sit on my head. Or when I'm out trying to gather resources to sell in order to buy my first mount members of your faction sneak up on me and kill me on sight. They lurk in the shadows. They lurk in the light. They lurk here and there. I was a peace loving member of the horde. There was a time when I wouldn't hurt a snake or bunny. But your faction as done so much evil to me that I now have no choice or regrets to kill you first, before you kill me. I don't care who you are or what level you are. You have taken from me so much time so I show no mercy to your alliance. You are suppose to be a beacon of honor only your faction has no honor. You mercilessly hunt us down. I won't even tell you the horror stories I've heard from the Forsaken.



The Horde never forgets. The Horde never forgives. Count on it.

There's a little flaw in here.

Even pvpers will choose to be "pve" cause it gives an advantage.

Basically server automatically turns to pve

You could make pve flagged players unable to gain honor.

But I'm against this idea overall.

I do agree that some people would try to abuse it. If the incentives and penalties were done right, though, you could minimize the abuse.

I have to ask you guys in favor of this:

If you don't like PvP are you guys trying to do "The Perfect Path" to level ? what i mean is are you all trying to grind out quest in highly contest spots like STV etc ? Yes we all want to be able to complete quest in a timely manner and level but on a PvP you are not going to get that.

Let me get you an example:

Was in desolace yesterday some guy starts complain in region speech because some lvl 50 horde war was helping his level 30 friend shaman level and started to kill alliance players at the magram camp. Now i know you have to work this faction for some quest in desolace , BUT if after 3 or 4 kill if you don't get the hint to move to another spot then its your fault. OF COURSE the horde is going to kill ya just to remove the threat of you taking mobs he and his friend might need.

Litterly this went on for more than 1hour. Me personally i would have moved to another spot and grind out some xp till the horde guys moved on. I got killed by same horde war and shaman as i was selling stuff to the mechanical merchant , but i just came back and moved away back to grind some more xp.

Some people are just to OCD that they can't think OUTSIDE the perfect level path.
