everred Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So, lately, I've been reading a TON of tales on the Don't Starve Together Tales of Life and Death section, and I've seen a lot of cool stories on PVP servers. I've started contemplating joining/starting one of my own PVP servers. Any tips or things I should know? (I have no idea how alliances work and how I should act with them.)

illusione Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It's a pretty simple start usually, you gather materials like sticks and grass and spend the first few days like you would on a normal survival server, but also focus on weapons and armor so you can be ready to defend yourself. You have to be careful of other players, they might want to be friends with you or they might want to kill you and steal your stuff. If players ask to join you, you should let them if you trust them, they could be really valuable help in the long run. Also, some players will act like arrogant jerks, and there might not be much you can do about it.

everred Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 If I'm hosting a world, should I wait to come after newcomers? Should I come after them at all...? I feel like waiting for us to meet would take too long.

Kolascay Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If you're hosting a server, a truly competitive game would require some settings. First, make sure the server type is set to Wilderness, as players don't leave instantly when they die, as you respawn instantly as a character you choose somewhere on the map. Second, don't kill people unless they intimidate you first. Due to Don't Starve's PvP logic, if you constantly run away from your attacker, you cannot be hurt. If the player says "Team?" or "Can I help?" it can be benefitial. And if they betray you; just... run away. In reality, PvP all depends on who gets the glommer pan flute first. Because I guaruntee you, they are going to use it as a clutch and make you fall asleep and kill you before you before you can land a hit. So get the flute first and you instantly become winner.

Cellby Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I've never tried PVP servers before. Sounds like an experience to try at least once, maybe I'll hop in one with a friend soon. Are there any established PVP servers running or should I just join a random one with a PVP tag and it all plays out the same? And if I join and immediately encounter a player who has been there for a while, I'm dead aren't I? I think if there's a way to vote to reset the server from the beginning when a certain amount of people are in would be a nice option too. Maybe there's a mod for it?

MrKoopa Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 A few ways you could do it: A) Make a small arena with walls and you and the other player choose armor and weapon. Maybe add an aggressive enemy somewhere in the middle on the left or on the right side of the walls. That means you have to avoid it so that you don't get attacked by it. You also can't have more than 1 weapon in the inventory(to make it intreresting). B) You and the other player spawn in a base that someone else have done for both of you. You don't spawn in the same base. The bases you have are identical to eachother. The base could have it so that you can choose an ally mob that can help you but you can only have 1 mob. C) If you are more than 1v1 then you could do the same thing with A or B but with B you can only have 1 mob/team. Maybe one of you has to sacrifice an armor if you want the mob?

Would you use mods to spawn the aggressive creature...? Because it sounds a little hard to get something aggressive penned up.

MrKoopa Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I was thinking on someone using the flute as soon as you spawn it. Mods might be needed. I don't know how long they would sleep, if it is forever until one gets too close or if it is only a few seconds or something else.

There might be a few mods regarding these type of things to make it easier. I have seen a lot of youtube videos where they're kiting Deerclops on Day 1, I think that's using code to spawn it which might make the arena idea easier.

MrKoopa Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If you have a world that is not pvp you could use the pvp turf mod. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1228256860 You can make an arena fast with by spawning items with the console commands or unlock all recipies(I think the items are free as long as you don't rejoin the server).
