After the publication of the gameplay trailer for the MMO shooter PIONER, the community had various misunderstandings about the game. It was published in the official vk group fastin which the game development director gave answers to the most pressing questions.
The penalty for death depends on the region of the island: in regular PvE regions it is damage to equipment, and in PvP zones or shadow lands resources are lost. You do not lose equipment, weapons, backpacks, but precisely the resources for which you go to these places.
The island is divided into two parts: the left part of the island is the dominance of PvE content, the right part of the island is PvP. At the same time, there is only one region in the game where PvP operates everywhere – the Shadowlands. In Middle Earth, only partial zones with PvP rules have been implemented. Additional rules are also being introduced to avoid bullying of single players and camping.
The story campaign takes place in closed locations or in closed areas in open worlds. To complete the game’s plot, no one forces you to visit PvP zones, and the game does not limit you in any way.
You can also get better equipment in PvE activities. The main thing you need to have are blueprints and resources. And you can get the latter in a large number of activities, including PvE. For example, raids and special missions of the game take place on the right side of the island. Completing them is an alternative, but less effective way to accumulate resources for upgrading equipment. You will always have a choice in how to upgrade and in what activities to participate.
Raids are full-fledged PvE missions. They have their own plot, their own cut scenes and a very serious difficulty that requires pumped up equipment. Details will be shared later.
World bosses and permanent events, as well as raids, have already been implemented in the game and are waiting in the wings for demonstration.
The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 4, and there are no plans to switch to the fifth version of the engine before the game’s release, as this will require a lot of time and does not guarantee success. The trailers feature regular gameplay recorded via GeForce Experience.
