Aloha Thrivers!
Long before our Early Access release in January, people kept asking us if we had PvE and PvP-only servers. Our community’s feedback was that if we separated the servers they could group up with their friends for PvE only fun or stage epic battles in PvP. It was close to the top of our list so we’ve decided to split up the servers and now we need your help!
Now that things are updated, we want to hear your thoughts on what types of features you love the most about a PvE-only experience or how to amplify the PvP play style.
Since we split all of our servers into PvE, PvP, and PvEvP realms, our players can choose the experience they want whether it’s raiding player bases, storming the depths of a forgotten dungeon, or enjoying a bit of everything. There is now a server perfect for how you want to ride out the apocalypse!
PvE
When we asked players what they would like to see, a lot of folks mentioned wanting to have a PvE-only server so that when they logged out, they wouldn’t lose all their stuff if they hadn’t built up a secure base yet. We can’t help it if you forget to add windows to your base but we wanted to make it a bit easier to keep your stuff.
Here’s a list of our PVE servers
- US WEST 03 PVE
- US EAST 02 PVE
- EUROPE 03 PVE
- AU SYD 02 PVE
Players on our PVE servers can focus on dungeon crawls and exploring the dark parts of the jungle without the worry of being shot by other players. Some of the rules we’re considering for the PvE servers include:
- Sleeping bodies should not be lootable, regardless of zone.
- Players should not be able to access other players' containers unless the container is within a Totem and the players have been added to the Totem.
- Increased total Totem and adjacent Totem size limit. (Maybe increase scales per zone?)
We’re still working on finalizing rules and would love to get your feedback so please join our discord and let us know what rules you’d expect us to implement.
PvP
While not as many people have asked for PvP-only servers we have had a few requests for a more gritty experience where fighting other players is just part of survival on the island. We heard you too.
Here’s a list of our PvP servers
- US WEST 02 PVP
- US EAST 03 PVP
- EUROPE 02 PVP
Like our PvE servers, we’re still solidifying rules here too. There will still be a safe zone around the starting area to give those just starting out a chance to get established. We’d love to hear your suggestions about other rules you’d like to see.
PvEvP
For everyone else who liked the way our PvP and PvE rules worked before, good news! We have a bunch of servers that work just like you’re used to. The only new addition would be that sleeping bodies would not be lootable in PVE zones.
Here’s a list of our PvEvP servers
- US WEST 01 PVEVP
- US EAST 01 PVEVP
- EUROPE 01 PVEVP
- AU SYD 01 PVEVP
These servers allow players to experience a little of both play styles - testing the skills of players you run across in the jungle and helping to keep the mutant population in check while exploring the map. All of our player's feedback is important to us and we hope these changes make your experience of surviving in paradise a joy. Please let us know what you think about our new servers on our Discord!
