GW 2 No PVE 2???? - Guild Wars Forums

ceechow · Apr 30, 2007, 07:46 PM // 19:46

Racthoh,I have read those posts you listed as links in my preveous post,"GW No PVE???" I have to apologize for making another posting on this suject but the other post was closed befor we could discuss those links.....hope this one stays open for discussion.
From what I have read in those links is that,there will be no campaign(PvE) and only a persistant enviorment in which to run around and kill MoBs.Much like when you finish a campaign in the current GWs games. It says that PvP will more then likly influence this enviorment and that by doing the PvP battles that you may get bonuses like increased health or loot drops.The PvP aspect is covered in more detail then the PvE aspect is but the one thing that stands out is:There will be no more campaigns so,what does this leve us,purly PvE players,to do? I know,as I already stated in the other post,that GW2 is still in Dev and things can get changed and nothing is written in stone until the game goes "gold". We PvE players would really like to hear what others think.

In several interviews that have stated they want quests and missions to be instanced so there will be more than likely a separate section to the game than the normal persistent game play.

Str0b0 · Apr 30, 2007, 08:06 PM // 20:06

A persistent world does not equal no PvE. It just means there will be a different type of PvE. Rather than the purely instanced structure we have now instances will be limited to quests and missions, at least that seems to be the indication. Would you say that WoW or EQ have no PvE portion? They are persistent worlds as well but they have PvE, they have it to the extent that they have servers dedicated only to PvE with no PvP allowed. I this is a case of Chicken Little here. You get hit with an acorn of information and from that you mistakenly assume the sky is falling.

PM the mod in question, don't open a new thread.

At first i was going to award the worlds biggest idiot award when i saw your title but you do bring a almost valid point. Though we know nothing of the storyline, its not correct to assume Persistant world= No Pve.

Mordakai · Apr 30, 2007, 08:17 PM // 20:17

There will be some sort of "expansions" for GW 2

I think this is the most important mis-understanding. Although you're correct that there are no details yet of what these "expansions" would encompass, since GW2 will have no subscription fees, Anet will need to generate money in a periodic fashion.

If these "expansions" do not include some sort of PvE incentive to purchase, GW2 will die very quickly. Anet knows that GW2 needs to appeal to all kinds of gamers: PvE, PvP, grinders, soloers, casual and hardcore. How well they succeed will determine the success of GW2.

Your thread is grossly misnamed.

E = Environment.
"only a persistant enviorment in which to run around and kill MoBs"
That's what PvE IS. You just want to know what the story is and if there will be a linear one. You're asking the wrong questions man.

Lifeinthefridge · Apr 30, 2007, 08:31 PM // 20:31

so your complaining because there making pve better?

Man Id rather not be able to explore a vast world and create my own story through various story archs. Instead Id rather play another solo player game online...

/sarcasm

Mordakai · Apr 30, 2007, 08:39 PM // 20:39

No, from what I understood, he's worried that there will be no new Chapters, with new stories, quests, etc (ie, the PvE experience).

As I tried to explain above, his worries are unfounded. GW2 will have some sort of expansions to make money, and those will have new PvE content. Anet is not stupid.

Exterminate all · Apr 30, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

There will be missions/quests all the other stuff. Stop making useless threads.

Alas Poor Yorick · Apr 30, 2007, 09:49 PM // 21:49

Hey - don't flame the OP

Actually, I think he has a valid question

Yes, there will be PvE from the looks of it -but what kind? I think that is what he is worried about. I myself am worried that they seem to be talking about a "companion" instead of heroes or henchies. Does that mean I will be forced to cooperate in missions and quests with other players - or will I be able to play on my own.

Fact is, I really hate playing with other.

I enjoy socializing in town but I just don't want to be in a live group when fighting.

A game where I have to cooperate with or fight against other players to finish the plot just doesn't appeal to me.
