Yeh, it kinda feels better suited for a solo / duo experience anyway, a lone wolf -type of deal. Even if the public players were Good People (tm), it would be a different dynamic. No idea how common this is among people who pine for the golden days, but resonates with me ... :P

I'm not sure TFP realize most people (at least, as far as I can ascertain) play it as a solo/duo -- friendly cooperative experience -- as opposed to a PvP...at least judging by the one comment that was "loved" by TFP upon the announcement of the acquisition. Kind of reminds of the Automatron DLC for Fallout 4. Is the Mechanist so focussed on statistics that "she" can't see what's really happening in the Commonwealth?

Tune in next week. Same batty time; same batty channel.

Well, for what it's worth, I hope not. ;) And I don't think Hammer does either, but that's just a gut feeling from reading your public interactions ... (an example of how to make an unverifiable claim sound honest and unverifiable at the same time? .. ;) )

Hmmmm...I believe the best way I can put this is:

No I don't think @Roland (the private citizen) should be banned.

My opinion of @Roland the moderator are grounds for banning me...so I can't and won't discuss them publicly. lol
 
What?! Of course they know that. It’s how they play it as well. It’s why they’ve never upped the official player count beyond 8 players and have given less than zero priority to any kind of PVP update for more than a decade.

The PVP community would show up in force to tell you how neglected they’ve been if they existed in any numbers. But Grandpa Minion might have something to say about it. 😉

And I'm guessing they "loved" that comment because they though it was really funny, probably broke out laughing.

would it not make sense to remove the achievements for PVP from the game if it is not a PVP game? Especially if there are no plans to ever support PVP? it sends a mixed message at best.

That is not exactly correct. (As far as I remember) TFP have said on occasion that they want to support PvP players as well, just that it is at a lower priority than other stuff, like for example finishing the game. Though they have also often said that they do not officially support more than 8 players, which probably makes PvP on a big map ... difficult.

It would not surprise me at all if 7D2D gets a PvP mode eventually. Though they will never have a chance against hackers and cheaters, even with BI in the boat. Though it is a possibility that BI will try (and fail to make money with it IMHO)

I'm not sure if that is even possible on all platforms. Sony had a loyalty program that used trophies (achievements on other platforms) that represented vallue in the form of discounts. As a result of that it seems the rewards could not be changed later on, DLC achievements were seperated from the base game. Thanks to crossplay I can imagine this also affects Steam and Xbox.
