[SUGGESTION] Invading other peoples games, as Unidad or Santa Blanca | Forums

[rop1980]

Great idea +1, now listen to this,

We have 4 players already doing Ghost Mode on Tier and we receive a warning in which all 4 players need to accept or deny kind of like a vote to allow the invaders come in. If they are allowed in Bowman will give us a briefing on an estimated location or general area of the invating force.

Instead of Santa Blanca or Unidad, why not a third mysterious faction...the BODARK :P Could tie in with a new season quite well.

I didn't like the FOB Raiding in MGSV and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it in GRW.
But as an Option, why not.

....or Watchdogs but yeah, I'm all for it if others are interested as long as it's an option. Why not?

Clearly everyone have never played Dark Souls.

This concept isn't new. It only attracts pestilence. That game series is f*cking grieving fest clusterf*ck with mindset like OP's "I'd love to ruin other people's game". That's all what the audience attracted to this kind of thing will want to do: being a pest.

If anything this game needs is to take any ideas related to this and bury it inside the void of space and time and never ever let it mention it again.

F*ck, man. What's with this pestering ideas in video games? Are you really happy being a burden to other people behind the excuse of "it's just a game"? This is the same sh*t as those "it's just a prank, bro" idiotic ideas.

You're not griefing people really if they have selected an option to allow you to invade. They are saying bring it on.

The issue with the DZ in the Division when it released was that there was no option to explore and collect without being griefed. This put a lot of people off any kind of repeat in Wildlands. As long as it is optional I'm good with it.

On the topic of VIP extraction there already is a game mode in the PvP to extract the hostage which is pretty good. There are enough mature PvE fans in this forum to group up into 2 teams of 4 in a custom room and turn the HuD off. When you get two tactical teams the game shines.

As long as it's an option that I can keep turned off. If I wanted to play against other people, I'd play PVP. But the mentality of other players who only want to get their jollies by ruining other peoples' games, is why I hated the DZ in Division, and never completed playing Watchdogs.2. I didn't care about getting hacked, but it was a pain in the A$$, trying to play the SP campaign, and some random player just shows up, shooting me in the back.

Watch your tone. Your clearly didn`t understand the basic idea behind this suggestion. And by "ruining" other peoples game, i meant kicking their buds, if possible.
For sure you obviously didn't see the smiley behind this sentence.
I also inderectly mentionend the "pestering", by only allowing one invasions every few days, or everytime (s.a)
We are of topic again, aren't we ?
Thanks.
And it is even more obvious, you never played Dying Light invasions, since you are so pre occupied of the idea of how it would end and look like.
As long as it is an option, why not ?
As stated before : I'd love to fight real ghosts, under real conditions, "and kick their buds" !

I feel stupid, just having to replie to such a post...

At least in Watchdogs it was optional. You didn't have to engage with others in that way if you didn't want to.

I think the intent for the DZ was obviously different than the way it turned out when you look at the marketing during development. I rather liked the idea of teaming up with randoms on my way to an objective, helping others with fights against AI, etc. but there was still that element there that people could turn against you. Well, we all know how that turned out.

Give players an option to be griefers and they'll take full advantage of it. Players who tend to be more cooperative then become wary of joining other randoms until it's a "shoot first" or "if you can't beat 'em, join em" mentality. ....the rest simply leave and avoid the DZ.

When Destiny came out I actually liked the idea that everyone was on the same side fighting again the AI. IMO, that system worked well in a PvE environment. I didn't much care for the game but I liked the mechanic.

Anyhow, as you mention, as an option I don't see the OPs idea being a problem. Whether this is an idea that interest GRW fans s another story. I have no desire for such an option but that doesn't mean others wouldn't.

Watch_Dogs 1 & 2, especially the first one, are great examples of "invasion" type games. You can recon, assault, try and find the invaders and nix them, hack their coms..

[Ringwraith5]

why I hated the DZ in Division.

Same. The problem with DZ for a long time was that it was practically the only place where you could get decent equipment. Although I must admit that this had its upsides, because actually finding something good turned you into the most religious person in the world, fervently praying that you don't get ambushed during extraction. Things changed a bit once they introduced elites to the SP area of the map, but it still wasn't quite the same thing.

I really hope they fix this system in D2 by the way. I really like the game, but DZ and everything connected to it was a nightmare for me.
