In the process of being exposed to games, we often hear others say that they are PVP players or PVE players. So what do PVP and PVE mean in the game ? The following are the details.
PVP - (English) Player vs Player, player versus player. That is, one player attacks another player. PvE - (UK) Player vs Environment, a battle between player computers and computer-controlled opponents.
PVE is the abbreviation of Player VS Environment, which means player vs environment. It is opposite to PVP (player versus player, such as PK, battlefield, siege warfare, etc. we often talk about). It refers to the game in which players challenge the control of the game program. NPC monsters and bosses are sometimes called PVC (Player Vs Computer). In online games, they mainly refer to activities such as challenging powerful BOSS.
For example, in World of Warcraft, servers are divided into two types: PVP and PVE. In PVP servers, all regions are divided into three categories, alliance territories, tribal territories and contested territories. In the alliance territory, alliance players are protected and cannot be attacked by tribal players unless they turn on pvp status. On the contrary, in tribal territory, the tribe is protected. In the contested territory, players can attack players from opposing camps at will. This also led to the emergence of phenomena such as corpse guarding and trumpet killing.
In PVE servers, players who have not actively turned on PVP cannot be attacked by players from the opposing camp unless they turn on PVP. In the PVE server, you can turn on the PVP state by typing the /PVP command or attacking NPCs with PVP attributes such as guards in the enemy camp. In PVE servers, some PVP missions, such as the wild PVP tower battles in Eastern Plaguelands, Hellfire Peninsula, and Zangarmarsh, etc., must be opened in PVP mode before they can be completed.
For example, in the game Jiansan, PVP players can turn on the camp mode to fight players from the enemy camp in the wild. If it is turned off, it will be fine; however, on some maps and at different activity times, the camp mode is forced to be turned on.
