Modes Restrict or remove PvE from the game, making Open a nicer place

Meh, it'll never happen. Somewhere above 80% of the player base of ED is PvE.
Not wanting to stur things up but where did you get that info. I spend a fair amount of time in PVE sessions so guess Im part of one percent :)

What I've mainly seen from posts of PvP players is they normally complain they're being forced to participate in PvE in this game... usually in terms of having to pay for rebuys. :)

(Guess everyone needs a job to pay the bills)

Too true. Its the main reason I don't actively seek PvP - its also why I own 7 billion in assets from lazily playing the game for a couple years. :D
 
So if PVE is runing PVP, surely the pesky American and Asian players are running my background simulation by messing with my factions after I've spent hours getting them just so, then logging in where I cant get to them and stop their meddling.

This is exactly the same issue PVP players are citing as the main issue why PVE should be got rid of.

Its like saying the only sport you are allowed to support is Football, and then complaing to the police that someone says they like Cricket, or Rugby, both or which are played on grass and often the same piece of grass.
 
how about:

Suggestions:

1) Restrict PvP only to private groups. Players that don't want PvE...oh wait, this is already working as intended

2) Create special zones where PvP players are ok to murder. It could be called "private group" or something.

3) Implement a system of PvP consent. You know where the greifers can play and complain

I'd go one further.

Remove Open. Make it two choices....

Private Groups
Solo

Bingo. :D
 
Stitch is nice, and smart and funny. I like Stitch. Now that I've actually read AA's post which Stitch was trying to provide a counter-point to, I agree even more:)

Keeping this light hearted: I don't think I've seen any PvP players complain they have to engage in PvE, and even less complain about rebuys. Is this something you've actually seen or just fabricated because it sounds impressive? ;)

Any PvP player I know recognises that PvE is mandatory and that PvP is "endgame"; that is, you must progress initially through PvE activities (most methods of earning money between CMDRs only are deliberately hamstringed to avoid any potential money farming/transferring exploits). However, once you have got to the end, there is nothing that really challenges a strong player; PvE combat becomes little more than a farming exercise, and earning money for rebuys is seldom an issue unless you enjoy flying a cutter into each and every PvP engagement.

More often than not, it's PvP players offering advice to newer players on earning dem rebuys. Once ya put the pitchforks down we're some of the most open to giving constructive help.


You're forgetting something. PvE doesn't ruin other players experiences, Your definition of PvP does.

Gee whizz, I met a psychic, guys!

As I didn't mention my definition of PvP anywhere and I can't be bothered to type it as you're already so knowledgeable, would you mind sharing my definition with the class for study?

Cheers bro.

Why stop there? Remove Solo and PG. Training missions are the only true consensual fights!

I do indeed have the feeling I'm erecting a post every time I click "reply to thread". The points within often penetrate to the heart of the matter when it delivers it's essence.

Is it getting hot in here?
 
This idea again, echo chamber syndrome, my responce pigs arrrrs. have the laggy uncontrolled mess you call open and leave solo alone as many of us would move onto other games if solo/pg were not available, fortunately frontier aren't stupid enough to alienate the large base of players that feel this way, as for why, I could not be bothered repeating what's already well known and clear to all that can be bothered reading wordy things. :O but considering frontier already took a lot of us for a ride with the offline mode many bought into, I think the least they can do is leave well enough alone with the game modes. but OP feel free to keep dreaming of all the cannon fodder you will never get access too. [haha][haha][haha]

You're erecting far more than posts, Ziggy. It gets hot everywhere you go.

Ziggy, we may need you to break out the miniature violins!

Sorry, you were playing "that" while you read my OP? How does a "that" sound?

I got nothing I can say without getting banned for indecency. Anyone want to take this big opening of Shar's?

Oh look, it happened anyway -_-
