Game Development: Mammoth

separate pve and pvp gear and skillsets

And here is where you lose your audience. That's a sham. It's a stupid waste of development resources. It's a stupid waste of a player's time. I like most things about WoW and other theme park MMOs, but this is one that has really annoyed the hell out of me. I hate wasting time grinding for two or three sets of gear (or more). Truthfully, several games pull off using the same gear and equipment for all aspects of the game, even ones with very large development teams.

why not scale down damage when pvp? like all damage is halved when it's pvp :3
or damage is doubled for pve, whatever floats your boat

It's not about the separate gear for PvE, just make it all revolve less around gear and more around skill. There is no kiting, there is only being capable of face-tanking it or not being able to do it. There are no moves to distract a creature so group hunting means everyone has to be clones of one another tank wise. Spam defenses , surround, bash, chase, rinse and repeat with other big creatures. Archery on big creatures? Get rekt when they reach you, and they will unless you're on horseback. Be on horseback and have framerate lag mess you up anyway. Idk i'd just like a more interesting system, if only by the addition of flanking and directional attacks rather than magically connected ones. Wether it's too much dev work put in is arguable, it depends on how long you want to wait till hunting becomes a fun aspect of the game instead of another grind you need to do to advance. I'd rather it be both those things

Will nerf. Thanks.

No idea how they're force resetting large areas or scouting them, but in a 6 hour exploratory trip last night and all foraging trips since the patch I have yet to see one. So perhaps just make spawning less exploitable rather than making them unfeasible to hunt or find for the less than hardcore crowd.

Agreed. We wasted a few hours trying to find one without success. Mby u should make them fate instead? If you find one, you'll have no luck finding another one for some period of time, no matter how hard you try?

Separate hunting from pvp. Some other mmo games I've played have seen fit to separate pve and pvp gear and skillsets because balancing one usually murders the other. The hunting minigame should be reasonably hard, but doable with skill more than armor and defense spamming. Perhaps give animals turn speeds, limit attacks to cone areas that make sense for each attack. Make people need to dodge or flank. Make attacks be negated by more reasons defenses. A weak boring / blunt attsck would need a shield. A clawing/slicing attack metal armor. A mammoth boring would need you to dodge or be shattered for a month if alive at all. But such a system would require optimizations to actually make such combat (or pvp for that matter) viable.

NO. as it stands hunting animals gives a bit of practice for PVP and the general idea of how combat works. raiders already have the advantage of being more skilled, more prepared, and having movesets specifically designed to take out other players, compared to none raiders. lets NOT widen that gap by making non raiders less skilled at combat.
