Hi,
I’m a 3 year DayZ player who recently purchased Deadside and have been playing for 3 months now. I like the game but am experiencing what many others are with too much ‘pvp’ occurring on ‘PVE’ servers. I am about to quit. There is a serious issue with what seems to be the majority of players just running in and stealing the prize after another player defeated the mission. The reason why it’s the majority, is because all the good players are quitting due to it. The players who steal and dont even fight missions are the only ones left.
So many good people I’ve played with keep leaving and specifically cite this issue. Arc Raiders is another real world example of this issue.
More should be done to remove ‘PVP’ aspects from ‘PVE’ servers. Or it might be good to label the server at least with PVE/P as to not annoy/waste people’s time, who assume it’s really PVE. I honestly wouldnt have purchased the game if I realized PVE mode allows other players to just steal every mission I try.
Lock mission crates to the player who initiated contact or to the player who makes the most kills at a mission. Most people who steal wait for you to kill most of the bots.
Lock cargo drops to the player who is first in the vicinity of the drop.
Lock personal flare drops to the player who dropped the flare
Lock the bunker door after someone enters with a key so other players can’t hijack the use of your key basically.
If none of these measures are implemented - What other recourse is there aside quitting the game?
The two main reasons I keep hearing from real players via mic and social media why they dont play -
Thank you.
