Lonesome, while the issue has been noted, it would help, especially in this case, to fill out the form at the top.
Reports are that this is online-only and single player games are not affected. The form is there to narrow down the issues to specifics and help us to test and verify under those conditions.
LOL no my comment was aimed to the part of : āto help usā are you implying you are doing work for funcom testing their game? if yes, then its good to know, would love to hear from them the news tho, if no why Use the āusā instead of ātheyā.
having earned āchosen of asuraā (which btw i am not saying you did not earned it, so congratulations on that ) does not makes you part of their staff or teamā¦ you are still member of this community as i or anyone else reading this.
( IMHO ). as for people providing feedback funcom should be EXTREMELY thankful that us (players) are taking the time to provide feedback and report bugs found in their game, its not an obligation for anyone to provide it in any particular format, regardless of how(the players) do it, they are using their timeā¦ yet again . they should be asking the questions regarding reported bugsā¦ not having other community members asking people to fill formats.
but hey i know you have a good hearted intention , so kudos to you for that.
damaging your thrall on pvp or pve-c is intended
itās actually a server setting, itās usually set at a lower percentage than regular damage. 50% I think.
If youāre playing single player, you can turn the friendly damage down or off
although why you would have single play set as pvp or pve-c I donāt know.
I understand the confusion now, thank you for that. The āusā to which I refer is the many volunteers who try to help those running into things that are new to them, not Funcom. While I thought the answer was in the gametype, there was no way to tell and no clear basis for a solid answer.
Weāve been through this before and some have personally investigated friendly fire. Lorail is spot on, and this is what we observed, many moons ago. By default, friendly fire is disabled on PvE servers.
Official servers (PvP/C) are preset to some value of friendly fire (I donāt know what, do not play officials) and can only be changed by the devs.
Dedicated and rented servers have a slider whose lower limit is 0.1 which can be overridden in the ini files to zero. Sorry, but I do not remember where. Droch may remember as his post is also spot on.
My apologies to you personally for the quick response without fully understanding you were, in fact, referring to a different āusā.
Singleplayer games have PvP enabled by default. The only way to disable it is before you create your character enter the custom server options and untick the box. After you start your singleplayer game, you can only adjust the friendly fire damage and the āraid windowā times. The checkbox for Enable PvP doesnāt appear in the in-game server settings menu.
There are separate threads for those issues. This is a thread for this issue.
I play on PS4 console, offline modeā¦Sorry for posting on a pc topic, however,
Is it only the pc versionwhere you can turn off friendly fire damage in PvE? I have slain many thralls due to friendly fire. I know horses no longer take damage but every other follower does. Even at the setting 0.1, I inflict the majority of damage to my thralls.
Coming from singleplayer to when I started a game on the testlive server, this was my biggest shock. Granted, Iāve only been playing the game for a few months, but Iāve always been able to damage my own thrall and not being able to felt like cheesing to me. The default friendly fire multiplier is .2 on singleplayer, so Iād wager a guess that itās the same for official servers.
BB, I was also shocked when I encountered that. Like you, I came from several thousand hours of private PvE and swung with complete abandon, damaging everything around me, on a server that enabled friendly fire.
I suspect you are correct, 0.2, but have no experience with it. Perhaps a PvPr can look at on an official and verify?
Since you said offline I assume you are playing single player. If you turn off PVP in settings ->server settings after clicking āmake me adminā, you shouldnāt do any damage to your thrall. This should be the equivalent of PVE on servers.
Yes, this is why Iāve been telling people they need to set their options before starting a character since early access.
However there is a work around.
Back up your save - game.db, set your options, create a new character exit game, replace the new game.db with the saved one. you now have the old character with the new server options.
You can also edit the server.ini directly with a text editor like notepad. Just make sure to turn off read only.
Iāve been telling people that since EA also.
But, I am a PC player so I donāt know if those things are possible on consoles
If youāll humor me for a moment, which tab is it under in server settings? Because as you can see from my earlier reply, I couldnāt find it. Just realized this is a question specifically for console, aplogies for the confusion.
