Everyone does Lockdown all the time.... Before the update, I thought that they should add more pvp to the game because that is all i saw people doing....
Poor pve...
Check the population from each gates vs. LD.
vs.
Gate 1 = 32
Gate 2 = 42
Gate 3 = 64
Gate 4 = 63
Looks like PvE wins.
If pvp was removed a lot of people would quit.
PvP is still the minority. Spiral Knights' community wouldn't suffer much with LD or BN gone. In fact, I think it would tone down the aggressive side of the community.
I love me bomberman's D: I just wish that the coliseum was more of a mini-game hub than a place where people just beat the pulp out of each other. :P
People would quit because they aren't satisfied by what PvE offers anymore, not because PvP is more prevalent.
A lot of the people playing LD are there only a partial amount of the time. They're either farming crowns, or watching the CE trade or AH closely to earn money. More prep goes in to readying your character for LD then one might think.
- I create a party at the start of tier 1
- people join
- once we all get to basil people check recipes
- they say nothings good
- once on the elevator all of them leave the party
- I continue to tier 2 (or 3)
People still join until basil then then leave, but i've gotten used to it. (It's what people did back in 2011 and it's still going)
But this time it's for FREE
I only play PvE for PvP. PvP for fun and PvE for farming and heat.
" More prep goes in to readying your character for LD then one might think."
This. I'd say that those who really want to be properly prepared for PvP probably spend more time NOT PvPing since VH/Max UVs are so absurdly expensive.
I'm pretty sure more people do PvE.
