[Poll] The abandoned Wilderness playstyle

[b l a n k]

I noticed there is basically no public vanilla Wilderness dedicated server available, and I would've liked to have people opinion about it

I see the playstyle as an Endless alternative, with punishing deaths as you despawn, thus losing all your learnt Blueprints/prototypes and your map progress (even though the latter can be mitigated thanks to Map Scrolls)
Alternatively, I also think the Wilderness playstyle fits PvP the most, but PvP is, with Wilderness, also kinda abandoned too...

Anyway, I was curious if some people would try to play it, if a dedicated server close to your region would appear someday, so I made a poll

I think it's a really good way to teach new players. My friends and I played it when we were just starting out, and it was a lot of fun to try to find each other and then make a base. It's a TERRIBLE setting for long term worlds though. Losing your map and your prototypes is really rough. It's good if you want to try out different characters or have trouble keeping yourself or others alive, but once you start to understand the basics of this game, it becomes worse and worse of a setting.

I definitely wouldn't play it with randoms as you are at an even bigger risk of losing all your stuff if you die than that of a normal survival game. It takes a lot of co op that you just won't find with randoms. I personally won't play it if dedicated servers are made

Pvp shouldve been a mechanic that serves just as a funny thing and not as an actual thing unless klei tried to fully rework it, yet they still showed some interest on it for some reason with things like moonwalls taking less damage from players which is stupid and adds nothing

Pvp without a serious mod overhaul is not interesting.
Haven't seen a pvp mod overhaul that does the job well and has good adoption.

For pvp survival games I recommend survival games dedicated to it, like Rust, Ark, Vrising.

I do think there should be more servers for it just not the pvp version. There's plenty of endless players who don't know about portal revival from my experience and while some might not like the loss of progress a lot of newer players quit the server for good when they die because they don't feel like waiting or want to choose a new character.

I don't see it doing much for us longtime players but if enough people joined then new players would definitely enjoy it a lot more.
