I saw a forum asking what the point of PvP was. I think my views are opposite of that guys. I wanna know what the point of PvE is? Where does the fun come in? What are your goals?

These "updates" are seeming more and more like downgrades.

Can you level your character in pvp? No
Can you get better gear only with pvp? No
Can doing only pvp afford you charms without paying real money? No
Can only pvp afford guardian angels without spending real money? No
Can you learn new skills for your character in pvp? No
Even pvp servers are pve servers actually, because there is something other than pvp on it. A REAL pvp server would have NO monsters, you'd get exp by killing other players, if you were killed your character would be deleted automatically, making sure no exp abuse was possible, and forcing people to actually be good at pvp for once. Any and all equipment would be sold in the cash shop because since coins would not exist since there are no monsters, same with dungeons, there would be no other way to get equipment.Main characters

PvE players overexaggerate what It's like on PvP servers. I've never needed 3 weeks to do 1 quest. I've never suffered more than a minor inconvienience due to PKers.The only way to win is to quit. b:bye0

You can run through fields of flowers without worrying about KOS.'
In all honesty though ---- what does it matter? Different people play different and do not want to worry about killing or being killed.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

On PvE servers you have the honor *sarcasm* of grinding through 80 levels before having a chance at TW or PvP.
You get to sling insults at each other without fear of being attacked.
You get to fall asleep at your keyboard anywhere without being Pkd.
And you don't have players keep their distance from you because you have your NIX out.b:victory0 -

Non-issue. The question was "Do you get exp from pvp?" Can you gain levels by killing other players? NO.
A reason for pve servers? You get to ignore the morons that like to brag about how they kill so fast then can't even kill a charmless, potless arcane veno without 3-4 people at once attacking.Main characters

Honestly, when I played Sanctuary I thought PvP servers were lame and that I'd never get to quest and level etc. Then rolled Harshlands and damn, it was a blast while it lasted.
1. Yes, you do level faster...given fact.
2. You get to deal with all the QQ'ers, quite entertaining.
3. Yes, it does get quite expensive buying dolls etc.
4. Someone pisses you off in your grinding area and what not, you can kill them or do whatever and **** them back off.
5. Faction vs. faction pk wars are fun.
Etc etc, list can go on.0 -

Can someone explain this? Do you get more XP from some unknown source?
When I started my LC char I leveled pretty fast but it wasn't because I noticed I was getting more XP per kill. It was because I already knew how to play the game from HT.
It was less crowded and once I hit 30s I could PK others in crowded areas to get rid of the competition for the mob. But other than that I don't see how PvP servers level faster.0 -

You level fast 'cause you're so motivated to level up to this certain point to kill a certain person or group. That's the way I see it. And I guess just like questing in a level 30+ area and you're so nervous not knowing if someone's gonna crash you at any given time, that you try to hurry up...that can also apply.0 -

Get to lvl 90+ for gear and skills i guess is the main point of pve.
Only pve i do is TT profit runs and occasionally rebirth since i need sp.
All other form of pve is kinda pointless at high lvl. I used to have pve-goals farming gear and farm my skills, but i can get anything from boxes now or use chips i get from event boxes. This game does not really encourage any form of pve achievements at high lvl.
Like how they make all instances a total waste of time. Warsong for example, that you have to finish 80 times to get grade 14 belt... is pretty much impossible to do. Its known fact that 6 characters can not finish the instance...so the belt is impossible to even try to get. They need to use "special trick" to do it on Chinese server, and they have +12 warsoul weapons and 8jun and cant do it with a 6 ppl party a legit way. So trying to do it here would just be a joke. But at the same time anyone can just open an event box and get the belt.
Same with lunar glade, it takes 5-6 hours to do full run same with TT99 takes 3-4 hours. Maybe u get 1 gold if lucky. But if u spend that time famring money and get zhen for boxes, or just charging some zhen and get boxes, you can get Cv items if lucky or just get some chips and get the mats. So much easier and even cheaper since lunar glade is charm ****.
Not saying its a bad thing only, god knows im to lazy farm lunar glade 6-10 hours a day lol. But this game does not encourage or reward pve very much which is why its pointless with goals. They make it so hard and boring that no one bothers doing it. At the same time they make cs-ing so rewarding, easy and funny lol. Its like 0 balance.0 -
The point is that people play for different reasons and in different ways.
I always play mmorpgs for the pve aspect, i want to see what new skill will i learn, the new armor and weapons that i can find, what new monsters will appear... in that case the pvp aspect just gets in the way.
Killing, insulting, and griefing in general is beyond my understanding. Kill me 100 times an i won't feel any desire for revenge, it will just make me want to quit the game. That is why i choose in a pve server.0 -
Usually when I start playing a new game I always roll a pvp server. Here I did just that and then rerolled to a pve server.
Why?
It's simple. I don't pay for games. And here it's a clear disadvantage in pvp. Charms, dolls, money for equips, nix and so on. Usually pvp should be about skill. Here is about if the person has a charm and the otherone not. Or if the person has nix and the other one not.
I had 2 chars mid lvl (56, 54) in a pvp server. It wasn't the constant pking that got to me (cause it wasn't that bad). It was actually because I had to run away from most of pvp situations. Because the person was 10 lvls above me, or had a nix, or had charms which I couldn't afford yet.
On pve server now I can lvl in peace and turn pk mode only if I want to. No need for charms, dolls or to raise 20m to buy a nix on my veno.
This is just my point of view and I expect lots of people will disagree with me. But it's their opinion.0 -
there are botters on PWI? wthe hell??? I might assume in PvE... but in PvP??? Harshlands have botters? WTF. Why would sum1 bot? get lvl90 with shabby and even wron shards? lol and where do they get those bots? and most importantly. if sum1 is able to recognize them, why havent they been banned?

Speaking of botters, whatever happened to BxMeoMap?Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"

I consider PvE simply to a be a form of challenge just like PvP but with different skill set. PvE is more predictable than PvP. PvE need longer term planning than PvP. PvE need to study monster pattern instead of player pattern.0
-
bottom line. For me. PvE=less money to no money spent.
More importantly for me. Also I tend to get agitated with games sometimes. I take them serious. I think most of us that came from the atari and 8bit era are like that. You die, guess what? start again. from the beginning. Loser. We did not like playing the games. We like the challenge. it became something we had to do. For ourselves.
So this game is really to help calm me down not to infuriate me. I don't get my kicks from molesting others, I get a kick from doing something hard, challenging.
Also I like to grind for hours. Yes I like to grind. Alot. I dont want someone coming in and breaking my flow.
I guess maybe PvE is more for the lonesome introverted types. The ones who like to keep to themselves. PvP maybe more for the ones that need validation from their peers, or who acquire their sense of worth from others around them. But this is just some BS I just thought up, dont pay attention to it.
b:bye"Let's all be reasonable here. PWI hasn't fully kept their word about anything since the "Permanent" Charm Packs. This is just another example. We should be used to it by now." -Isala0 -
I have to say i was terrified ov PvP servers and games before coming to PW, but now im fine with it. Yeah there's those annoying types, but man its great to fly in and help a friend from a pker. I think from now on im rolling pvp just cause the inner hero in me likes it b:victory
As for PvE i can see how it can get boring. The random Pks and strikes against rpkers are a nice break form the grind. Er no pun intended. I do see how though it is fun to chill out by skull mountain, or some other non SZ with some friends and not worry about some one running your fun.0
