Some interesting ideas, but why does the game *need* PvP? Why can't we focus on PvE and let those who want PvP, go play one of the countless games that have PvP in them? PvP brings with it countless problems, as was demonstrated in the old Firefall.
Yes, many can be worked around with proper design, but again, why does the game *need* PvP?
At least for the first few years, the Dev team is going to be rather limited in number, which translates to a llimit on what they can focus their time/talents on. Why make things more complicated than they need to be?

I preffer PvE games over PvP, just so you dont think otherwise with the answer ill give, but here is why.
I believe Em8er needs PvP because, i would say, income, money. The most succesful online games out there, are about PvP. LoL, Fortnite, Overwatch, Dota, etc... if you go to Twitch, the top streamed videogames are about PvP, not PvE. That means, PvP has a gigantic audience, willing to spend lots of money, which would benefit the game. Is has been long since a PvE game made it to the top, WoW is still the best one in thst category it seems, and PvP is still an important mode of the game.
Now, Im not saying the game needs it now, but I guess Im saying eventually, it will be needed. As in my last post, lets see for instance Fortnite. If it wasnt for BR, the game would have been forgotten easily, or maybe not forgotten, but not have been nearly as succesful as now. A well made PvP game mode will beneffit the game.
Im really happy that this game is PvE, as I said, I preffer PvE over PvP, and its vital for this game to have its focus clear, which it does, unlike firefall which was jumping bettween PvP and PvE the whole time. And Ill be fine if this game never gets to have PvP, if its PvE is working, but Im just making a suggestion based on facts, PvP is great and has a massive audience.
So yeah, it would be nice to see some kind of PvP added into the game, BR being the best option so far. As time goes, a few years into the future, when the game is stable, BR or any other PvP game mode could be looked at. If BR is the choice, it could have more unique mechanics, that make more sense to the game’s Lore, and dont feel like totally a different game, same graphics, same everything, but doesnt feel like you are playing some random money grabbing game mode that the devs made.
Now, my own crazy idea for the future of PvP lmao me making ideas for a game that I dont even know how it will look like
Realm Royale is kind of a guide and proof that BR can still be BR but also feel different gameplay wise, not just kill everything that moves. To start, the fight happens in an extremely agressive and dangerous planet that the gatestriders have found. This planet is so rich in mats, in resources, that Gatestriders themselves made the planet dangerous, as they started fighting each other to get control of its resources. Only the fiercest of the gatestriders go there, to show their power and strenght. Instead of having a bus go across the map, let a gate open randomly in different sides of the map, to use the gate concept. So a gate is opened on the north (or south, or etc...) of the map, 100 players are teleported and start gliding down. This gliders are different though, they have incredible speed until a certain height, maybe by pressing shift you activate a speed that can let you cross the entire map in seconds. So, once people land, the fun begins.
People will start looking for mats, resources, and will then look for watchtowers, where they will craft equipment, such as gliders, class weapons and abilities, etc..., like in realm royale. But this is different. The first 5 minutes of the match will be for getting allies, joining squads, or choosing to play solo. Solo players will get resources easier. Also, these first minutes players can die all they want and still keep respawning from the sky. And also, these first minutes players will try to get as many resources as they can. Once the 5 minutes are over, Watchtowers are unlocked and players can craft with thr materials they have gathered.
Now, maybe there could be THMPRs, that will randomly come from the sky to help gatestriders mine. These THMPRs will be neutral, which means no one can kill them. They will be walking around, thumping, as long as the gatestriders keep them powered with their resources. Resources will jump out of the ground as the THMPR mines them, keeping the gatestriders ready for anything that might come out of it. During the first 5 minutes Gatestriders will either be looking for resource nodes (like Fortnite trees/rocks) and mining them, or looking for armor parts im different facilities that they can either transform into resources or use them, or fighting for the large amount of resources from THMPRs.
Once the 5 minutes are done, the map will start to close, people will start to craft, and people do not respawn anymore. Gameplay keeps functioning the same way, only now people will start dying or getting more powerful.
And it works the same way as Fortnite, unlocking cool skins that you can use in PvE world or in PvP, Gun skins, Etc...
So yeah xd, Im extrmely happy with just PvE but a well done PvP game mode can not only be fun for PvE players but get attention for a game that may lack of it.
