I was only a spectator, because the few popular Havoc (Blitz) Servers were out of my Ping/Region. However, when they were hot, it was some of the finest combat, building, and competition you could ever squeeze out of this masterpiece of a game.
They just aren’t big in the States.
i have found durinf a ceetain pseiod of easy havesting–wink wink–that ssrver pvp was actually more normal than farm and hoard. So i am all for 10x servers, and to avoid over building max piece count. So you get on server, power to level 60 and max piece count and then actually pvp more. Even limit clans to 4.
Quite honestly, this suggestion in and of itself would solve a lot of PVP problems, whether it be on a boosted-wipe server or even just a standard PVP server
Even could do a very generic ranking
Turn on DbD, 24/7 raid
Hours played + total pieces-(deaths*10). See who is top dogs on server.
Because if you are on then you can be raided. Which means your goal is to keep max pieces, not die and play alot.
Now this idea is rolling my head.
Have purge bosses. Only spawn during a purge (Gods???). Be worth decent ranking points when killed . Now you cant just static login to gain hours played.
Also could use these servers as test servers. They get patched after every wipe to match testlve before being officially rolled out. A better more rigorous testing of things added tweaked.
What exactly do you mean by piece count I’m just curious
This seems like a very good idea. I think in all these severs would solve a lot of different issues players have.
Blitz server were dope ! I’m with you op & support their return !
Is there enough population left to support the opening or the closure of official servers? I feel like its going to be the latter. There hasn’t been enough evidence shown that even one of these servers wouldn’t be a ghost town.
Five players in different regions and time zones isn’t enough to launch a new server. I’m not even going to recommend you all even do your own private server. There’s not enough of yall to warrant even a <Netflix Subscription in cost.
You might try to schedule a time to play in coop though. Just let the one with the SSD or M2 drive host.
Let’s be honest tho there really isn’t a big presence of pvpers in these forums. Also if it’s a question of would it work or not what is there really to loose? I see no cons to opening additional options for official server especially when hacks, bans and “entrenched alpha” are something you won’t have to worry about. At least as much
By all means try it out if if there is nothing to lose.
What exactly am I trying out?
A service to give you what you are looking for. You got nothing to lose.
The service is funcom…
Yeah they’re not putting in the effort to rent a single server for 5 players spread out geographically.
But you totally could.
My apologies I didn’t realize I was talking to a employee of funcom. Like I’ve already stated there’s a pretty small presence of pvpers in the forum. The 5 that did reply is a start for sure and I’ll take that. Your sarcasm and weird authority trip is not needed but thanks anyways.
The amount of building pieces. Placeables dont count. How much it is all worth would be stage 2 of developing the scoring system.
For starters
Anythin built with hammer menu in structures (foundatiins, walls,etc) and not the other 2 menus is counted.
T1 1 point per
T2 2 pointts per
T3 5 points per
Then dives by clan count.
Die to an NPC or player = -100 points
Die to a Boss = -25 points
Pull Bracelet (Self Death) = - 10 points
Hours Played x10 points.
Kill a purge Boss (All Clan members get it) 1000 points.
And level x 100 points.
Maybe wipe it every three months when they have a new battle pass… wipe servers easy
I see now that does sound like some good competition. My issue is if we start to add and customize to much it becomes less likely it would happen. The best way for anything along theses lines to happen is to keep it as simple as possible. Only expanding on it after it’s seen some traction. Since blitz servers were already a thing back when the game came out then is isn’t really that difficult to bring the ideas back. Official servers are seeing more and more unsolved issues when it comes to actual player vs player. Conan has a great combat system so it makes sense to highlight those features a bit better.
I hate to make a comparison again but ark has this option. Obviously rust does it well as numbers don’t lie.
I am pretty sure i know a few pvp clans that would be interested.
A few pvp clans have tried to create these short battles by jumping on private boosted servers but the admins usually take a side and cheat. So temporary 3 month boosted officials would be great. And scoresheets to go with that would be a bonus.
Someone mentioned 24/7 raiding. I think this is bad for peoples health and in my opinion i don’t believe this is true pvp. I believe true pvp is where players vs players, not unmanned bases. However Rust proved that some do like this.
