My question, as always, is why have we not seen a civilized PvP mod? Let's go modders! Supposedly once this mod comes out ALL the servers will be running it
Well Roland, you see, you are part of the problem along with all the other anti pvp posters here because you dont play 7dtd pvp (and no a few hours before you got killed/raided and rage quit does not count, at all.
After almost 12k hours of 7dtd pvp I can educate you that I have seen many
many well done pvp mods which offer pretty much all the features people want although they currently sit across different mods so no single mod gives you everything.
There are only 2 things that matter in 7dtd pvp, these are risk v reward and time.
Risk v reward relates to the effort taken to gather resources v the ease in which you can lose them. Most pvp servers (and I have played on literally hundreds) prefer drop all on death as this adds what most pvp players consider to be the correct and most realistic level of risk. Many pvp servers will set their claim protection slightly higher than normal to offset this so that you may get sniped with a full inventory after scavenging for a couple hours BUT your base is highly protected and difficult to break into. To many players this adds a lot of tension and spices up the gameplay, especially when you are carrying some really good items and just want to get back to your base.
Drop all on death also means that if raiders do come then they risk losing all those nice tools and weapons and gas they brought to raid you so it makes raiding a very risky business.
The time element is common to online multiplayer games and can be summed up simply; 'Players with more time to play will progress faster in gear and levels than players with less time to play'
Time has always been like this, just like in life, the longer and harder you work the better and quicker your rewards and 7dtd is a game that rewards time spent more than any other thing.
These 2 elements, risk v reward and time, encapsulate a lot of what 7dtd pvp is about but without many many hundreds or thousands of hours playing, competing, fighting in this environment you simply dont have the knowledge of the metagame to be making silly blase comments as if you know all about it because neither you nor the other pvp haters on here do.
Its been said a million times but i will say it again, let the server owners pick their options as they please (as they do today) and if you dont like pvp then dont f******* play it, go pve.
If you want to 'fix' pvp then unnerf sound distance somewhat, it used to be silly that you could hear some things from way too far but now its gone too much the other way.
if you want to make some changes that are so simple any decent modder (even me) could do them in a couple of hours) and that work for pve too, then add more weapons, armour and legendary type items plus different level of tools.
Thats all you have to do, leave the community you hate (and yet who pay part of your bills..) alone, let people play how they want to and put in some cool thing that can be enjoyed by both communities.
Drops mike...
