Open PvE

[Sylveria]

Nah, just disable the ability to shoot and ram other players, and all those mode-switching complaints will dissapper...

Actually, a lot of this would go away immediately if there was a simple ability to flag oneself on/off for PvP- make the game completely open, allow for people who want to participate in space pewpew against others voluntary with a simple flag- and all of these divisive, polarized threads would disappear into nothingness.

I fear, however, neither "side" is going to get what they want- and this will continue until concessions are made that are satisfactory (not necessarily completely, but at least baseline) to both groups.

The counter of course is; if you want mindless pew pew, go play C.O.D. ~ so how about we put aside the brain dead insults and actually look to improve the game.

Some people want PvP, some don't - people on both sides want to take advantage of the Multiplayer / MMO tags the game is sold under.
And as the PvP crowd are getting a way to earn credits for the main game doing just PvP activities with other people, from the main menu - why not let PvE folks have the same option open to them?

A simple PvE only mode so non-PvP folks can take advantage of the social side of the game without randomly getting shot at would go a long way to helping some of the player base find their place in the game and would take the pressure off Mobius to login everyday to accept join requests and administer his PvE group.

wrong thats not a counter the gome provides for pve and pvp already your just telling people what to to play and what not to and its not an insult its a fact players are grinding in solo coming into open all spammed up and losing there nice ships to the first pvp combat they come across then complaining

also if you think this is a MMO then your showing that you know nothing about games this game is not a MMO by an sense of the word 32 players per instance if it was 1 or 2 servers ith hundreds of players on each then yes maybe but dont kid yourself ! the game already cateres for pve only players i just want them locked so they cannot come into open and yap because the natsty guys killed them with all legitimate gameplay

For a start, your definition of MMO means nothing - the game meets the actual definition, so like it or not it is one - plus that's nothing to do with this thread.
Also, mode switching is another thread not this one - feel free to post that comment over there, though check the last link in my Sig as it covers your point anyway.
And finally, you are the one telling people how to play, you are saying I have to play the game how you want - which I don't.

We are asking for a PvE mode / option in the main menu, for all to see - not saying you have to use it or anyone else. Just make it so people are aware of their choices when they play. It may also prevent the threads by people who didn't know PvP is *optional* NOT mandatory.
Currently for PvE only gameplay we have to rely on Mobius, which the general player base knows nothing about it, a real PvE option in the menu would allow more players to play their way, and not be forced to play it your way.

Exactly. Unless FD changes Open mode so that PvP is voluntary and not mandatory- the ability to CHOOSE is not satisfied and therefore the PvP crowd already has what they want. This thread isn't about taking anything away from PvP players- rather, giving the concession to those whom wish to play with others in the PvE environment (cooperative mode) which currently does NOT exist.

I always buy my ships in private mode. I can get in and out of the discounted systems much easier that way.

I also never visit hot spots in Open...although technically, Lugh can be considered that...well, for the unwelcome visitor at least. So did I get my ships with easy mode?

I would also like to hear why, with the Opening of CQC, there should be any PvP in the actual galaxy any more. What purpose would it serve? What goal would be finished? What Power would be helped? PvP is useless in the game...after CQC opens.

No, I am not asking for a serparate PvE mode...I am suggesting the whole BGS affected game should be PvE only.

I don't see the need for another 'mode'...just do away with friendly fire completely. CQC will let the PvP crowd scratch their itch and the PvE crowd can collect their trophies together..rather than separately.

Do you have any examples of this actually happening or is it the usual 'be afraid of the solo player' talk?

I think this is part of the fear mongering package. Along with the whole "target for griefers" argument to try and block a PvE mode

And closing again as this is just another open -v- solo thread now.
