Questioning the community on what is PvE

what does PvE mean to you
some people define PvE in diffrent ways, some people say there are 3 “modes”
PvP
PvE
and Exploration

I personallly believe that PvP is things like bountyhunting and PvP at munera/elysium
and things like quest, the dark sea, climbing the stepstones are PvE as that is you VS the game
but I would love to hear the opnions of others

fighting npcs is all that pve is to me

That’s literally the definition of PvP.

That’s literally the definition of PvE.

If it involves you fighting or competing against a player, it’s PvP.
If it does not involve fighting or competing against a player, it’s PvE.

so then what do things like water poisioning/climbing the stepstones/ sailing the bronze sea count as (aside from being minor but sometimes fun (excluding water poisioning) parts of the game)
do those fall under exploration? or are they “ungrouped”

some people would say that quest/climbing the stepstones falls under a 3rd category called “exploration” and believe that exploration is not apart of PvE (despite it being in the definition)

gameplay

well i think it depends on which definition of pve you’re using, there’s player vs enemy and player vs environment, though even with vs environment i wouldn’t place those things in it since versus makes it sound like an actual fight to me

so like this (made in 5 seconds using google drawings)

i guess so, yea

okay yeah thats fair
since movement and climbing are skills usefull for both PvE and PvP

I have never before heard someone use Player Vs Enemy
thats a new one, I am used to Player Vs Enviroment
(cant wait for PvPvE in AO where we have to fight another players army of crew*)

i had never heard someone use player vs environment before a discussion similar to this one before

I personally view every system of the game that aren’t directly related to pvp as PvE

I’m pretty sure some people would throw hands with water poisoning and the like if it was possible, so I’mma call that pve too at this point.

PvP = Player vs Player such as Bounty Hunting/Sparring/Witch-hunting/Wars/yada yada.

PvE = Player vs Environment such as Vs NPCs/Dark Sea/Sea Hazards.

Players against the Environment. Come join us and beam those trees!

PvP is fighting another player under any context. That’s the literal definition. But, generally, I’d see fighting in Munera as PvP more than hunting or being hunted. To me, hunting is an integral game mechanic, and game mechanics are what I’d start to consider PvE. Surviving the Dark Sea’s disasters, fighting a boss, or fighting other ships.
