What is PvE?

Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk

Player vs. Environment, also known as player vs. cpu. Basically AI combat instead of PVP (player vs. player).

I thought there was always PvP, PvE and PvM?

Its weird because different games seem to change up their specific definitions for each.

PvP: Player vs Player stays the same most of the time.
PvE: Player vs Everything or Player vs Envoronment - I have seen mean just AI and also seen it mean literally everything (Player vs Player and AI)
PvM: Player vs Monster (AI) - I havent seen this one much.

I consider the Darkzones PvE since the definition of it basically stands for what the Darkzone is about. You vs Everything.

Wish I could recall what games I seen these different meanings on.

Btw I was talking to some friends about the Darkzones and I may of figured out a way in Theory to get more OSers together in the same Darkzone.

Get you squad of 4 and go into the Darkzone. Once in have some members of you squad leave your squad (Like if you would do if you wanted to betray your squad). After that invite more people to your squad. This will keep the people that was in your squad previously in your Darkzone while you have the people from your squad in the game still.

Granted this is highly dependent on some things, like how full the Darkzone server is already. If the server becomes filled it will then search for another server that allows your full squad to get into making you leave the server with your friends outside your squad, not to mention the people outside of your squad are subject to friendly fire so you have to be careful about shooting them and becoming rogue.

Be cool if Bolt and company got into a Darkzone by themselves again and could just fill it with nothing but OSers. Lol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_versus_environment

Player versus environment, or PvE (also known as Player versus Monster, or PvM in some communities), is a term used in online games, particularly MMORPGs, CORPGs, MUDs, and other online role-playing video games, to refer to fighting computer-controlled enemies—in contrast to PvP (player versus player).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_versus_player

Player(s) versus player(s), or PvP, is a type of multiplayer interactive conflict within a game between two or more live participants. This is in contrast to games where players compete against computer-controlled opponents and/or players, which is referred to as player versus environment (PvE).

I'm sure it could potentially work, but more times than not it would probably re-instance someone in put them in another server/instance.

Great idea though.

Yea, having that DZ to ourselves was great (and probably will never happen again lol).

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

PvE would be solely player vs environment, or specifically not player vs player.

PvP would count any mechanic where one player could kill another.

Traditionally in an MMO, the two content types aren't mutually exclusive, you can have both types in the same activity. The dark zone would be PvE with PvP (fighting AI with different mechanics applying for a player kill).

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I'm feeling the same way. Was playing Seige last night and Madden, but thinking about TD. I've watched more YT videos on this game than any other game.

I'll have to go back to my PC and fire up Xcom 2 and Maybe Witcher 3 until then.

Yeah pretty sure that was a glitch.

It was awesome though. All that loot to ourselves lol

"The content won't be available at launch when it comes to PvE, but PvP players will have plenty to look forward too once the game releases"


"In the future, Ubisoft will add on to the PvE portion of the game, bringing 'goals and challenges' to those that don't enjoy PvP gameplay"


"We have a tremendous amount of effort and focus on the PvE endgame as well...Not all of it is going to be there when we launch. We're slowly going to be rolling it out for free in the beginning."


These quotes worry me as a PvE guy.

Im in the middle here. At least they are saying they got pve content releasing after launch for free and have a bunch of people working on it.

At least Darkzones have pve content in them.

Went ahead and pre-ordered the gold edition at Best Buy. Had $40 in RZ certs and $73 in gift cards. I'm actually off the week of release as well. Although it's spring break for wife and kids so no idea how much I'll get to be on. Hopefully I can game with some of you guys.
