Open Mode for more immersion

[Internaut]

Im not sure if this was prolly posted a hundred million times before but here I go.
Can FDEV just change the game to OPEN Mode and have an option to flag your self as a pvper or non-pvper.
This way the game will feel much more alive ESPECIALLY as it has the BIGGEST map of any game available.

To Solo Play Players: If You Could Disable PVP, Would You Play in Open Play Mode Instead?

I'm under the impression that a lot of people, including myself, prefer to play Solo mode all the time, not because we don't want to play with others, but simply because we don't want to PVP others. For comparison, let me talk to you about of one of the worst launches in recent years, Fallout...

Please have your say there!

Wait, wut, COME ON.......

So you joined in 2020. You've not had ANY clue in two years of forum use that this topic is actually as dead as the horse being flogged 'more dead' in Darrack's post? I'll answer your post back at you, Wait, wut, COME ON...... Dude have you no shame!

No thanks.

What is a 'pvp-er' in your eyes?

You have Mobius, and various other PGs that will suit your needs.

Imagine seeing everyone in a Community event.

Now imagine how many fewer will engage in community events as they can no longer play in their chosen game mode, having been forced to play in Open to satisfy a subset of the player-base of unspecified size - also imagine those who do continue to partake of community events, forced into Open, and how they'd react to being forced to do so....

Then consider how many console players without premium platform access would no longer be able to play the game at all - just to satisfy some other players' need to see other players.

I've already seen the Rebuy screen. I don't need somebody in a fully G5 Fer De Lance to show it to me again so that they can feel something.

...Not moving. All in one instance, in a state of complete paralysis, having network sync problems with the guy running on a potato PC in rural Northumberland, connected to the Internet with a strand of damp string.

Or not even connecting at all because no one has a dedicated IPv4 address nor properly forwarded ports.

For future reference, this thread from 7 years ago has some pertinent responses from the developers about the modes.

 

[Bottom Hat]

I support this new, unbiased, and completely sane idea that deserves more support from the community.
