First off, congratulations on expanding the game with new content like Versus. I’m sure there will be many players who appreciate this addition. However, I want to express a concern shared by players like me who are solely interested in the PVE aspect of the game.
While it’s great that you’re offering more gameplay options, the integration of PVP elements into the core PVE experience is problematic. Specifically, I don’t want to see any PVP-related features unless I actively choose to engage in that mode. This includes the display of PVP ranks or any HUD elements related to PVP while I’m in the PVE environment. It should be self-explanatory that if a player has not entered the PVP realm, they shouldn’t be subjected to reminders or details of that mode.
My suggestion is straightforward: please ensure that all PVP-related elements are entirely hidden or rather disabled when playing PVE. For those of us who do not wish to participate in PVP, these elements serve as an unnecessary distraction from the immersive PVE experience we enjoy.
Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope you take this into account to enhance the experience for all types of players.
I can’t think of any other PvP indicators in PvE, so I think the rank indicators are all that’s bothering you.
May I suggest this option in the settings?
Hope this helps.
that’s how one might talk about somebody who traumatized them :0 did versus mode hurt you?
i like my growing insignia, and you even got the option in Settings to not look at it. i know some folks have a chip on their shoulder about versus splitting the playerbase, though the math does not support that. a free pvp mode brings more players and increases the total player count. 100% of 3000 is 3000, but 50% of 10000 is 5000, you know? and they will wear their rank 0 versus insignia as a badge of honor like “i REJECT pvp”. thats cool too.
we got a whole new game mode launched for this game with multiple alpha and beta tests taking in feedback, a remarkably smooth launch and balanced launch state, it’s FREE, and folks still gonna find a way to get mad about it smh
i don’t think the OP was mad about it, actually was a polite post giving their feedback.
just opinions really.
also nobody ever complained about people hiding their own loadouts ( such as talents, weapons etc.) in player tab.
so asking to hide pvp related elements from other players in other game modes it’s not a big deal. especially since the rank in versus isn’t anything of competitive anyway, because you can’t even demote. can only rank up, which is a question of doing versus matches (doesn’t matter if victory or defeat)
Devs gave the options to hide builds in player tab, making either “public, friends only or private”
also i don’t think OP said to hide from others to all times, but just in pve game modes where pvp rank doesn’t really mean anything.
OP didnt want to be “subjected to reminders” of PvP, which suggests some strong feelings. They want no sign of PvP’s existence to appear in PvE - well I do! And Steam discussions are a cesspool of negativity with plenty of people getting mad about the free new game mode (I do not recommend looking at the comment sections of game updates).
Anyway there’s a Settings option to not see insignias. ZenithGuard already answered the question. I disagree with OP’s request to hide PvP’s existence from the rest of the game, that’s basically NIMBYism. Plenty of us love all the game modes.
