"PvE" function

50 votes

I got the idea from the game Draconia.
You can switch your character to the PvE setting, you cannot cause damage to other and vice versa.

This would end a lot of the hostility in the game and finally end the killing groups entirely for those who play as a way to relax.

I'm sure there would be a timer or lock of some sort to not be abused.
In example; player cannot switch back and forth to PvP and PvE in the same server, they must log from it and re-match in a server. Probably some function to not abuse the join a friend system as well.

The lockout could be an hour or 30 mins.

I hope this all makes some sense :) I think it would solve a great deal of our community's issues.
And maybe help remove the new 2 min logout(I hate it because I have real, adult obligations and hate losing progress when I have to quick log). And possibly remove the debuff function too with this new feature.

And on community servers, the setting can be enabled/disabled.

Because KOSing is totally so bad for the game that it requires a literal invincibility mode to compensate, very fair and good gameplay.

Maybe for community servers to enable, definitely not on officials.

Do agree with lowering the log timer back to what it use to be for similar reasons.

The only issue I see with this is that herbivores or fight-averted players can just turn this on, and never have to worry about being hunted again. A player could stalk and ambush another player just for nothing to happen, and if they're about to starve this could be a death sentence. A setting like this would also allow people to grow their dino without any fear or caution, and then simply turn it off when they get to adult and kill anyone they find without the setting turned on. It's a nice idea, but it's very abusable and has issues with resource accessibility.

it's all right amaviking

But something has to be done about it because I'm talking about there are already a lot of gangs in the game and those who like survival games and dino are bothering about it!
and even worse herbivores and carnivores walk together and attack you!!

People will figure out how to abuse things anyways, SmaViking. There's just no getting around it. Plus the thing about people about to starve to death, go find salt rocks or a carcass? I've traversed the entire map when it was a full map before as a slow spino literally on the verge of starving(taking damage an everything) and just nibbled here and there and fished until I found stuff to eat and finally got full again.

Plus if they're going to put in AI then there's another thing for people to hunt. They could make the carcasses respawn faster maybe and not decompose so fast. I've heard it's like 5 minutes for it to respawn but ive watched one respawn and then despawn within a handful of minutes without even touching it.

this should be on different servers, when you log in you have a choice PVP server or PVE

I like this but it needs to have locks on it.
Such as no growth while its on. If you want to play just to graze or fish thats fine but you wont grow during that time. That way people wont just grow their dinos to adult then turn it on and kos. Or have a PVE specific server, with its own dinos, and an option for PVE on unofficial servers.
But for pve, carnivore food drain needs to slow down or there needs to be more food options, like more ai and more diet options (such as bugs, crabs, rodents, or things similar)
