What about PvE contents?

I’ve seen many activities/contents since the game released. Like this werewolf mode, previous Map monsters, and Art of War, etc.

Things I listed had a chance to become such a great online PvE contents. Sadly their purpose are just simply serves for PvP and skirmishes, and making the whole game feels like imcomplete imo.

All of them prove that Relic have the ability to make PvE contents better. So why not?

well multiplayer is the main and basically only focus with aoe4, for better or worse

yeah I know that, but im tired of this patch overhaul and some toxic opponents.

i understand but people like us at 1000 or below aren’t heard in feedback, only the conqueror III rank seems to be, and not every change they suggest is a good one, just like not all of my takes are suitable, its selection bias

yes, thats sad but true, devs make this game serves for esports, just like starcraft ii…

yet im pretty sure this game got the potential. after all i like their design. (comparing to AoE2)

oh a lot can be done, but someone will have to encourage developement of more PVE stuff, like more campaigns and imo big miss the COOP mode with dedicated scenarios if feasible, but that’s up to management that sadly sees mostly esports less elsewhere

sad for managements,
guess i gotta rollback to aoe2 for a while (thats more friendly for me), and waiting something new.

or try 3, has some PVE content of quality, or AOMR

3 are awesome but my friends don’t like it, i will
try aomr once i change my new pc

if 3 works for you then retold should too, unless you’re at minimal end for 3 with specs

well im gonna take a look, thx for sharing

I agree with you
I would really like to see Campaigns added about the same way it looks in AoE 2 DE, also I miss more Art of War type quests. And the most important thing is to improve the enemy AI.

I don’t agree with you
AoE 2 DE doesn’t stop it from being a competitive multiplayer game and having a huge amount of single player content . Remember how many Campaigns are in AoE 2 DE and the developers keep adding new ones. AoE 2 DE has tons of PvE content , and I also forgot about Coop Campaigns and Missions :slight_smile:

Yeah Art of War just gave us 2 civs to learn, ottos and malian. it suppose to make us to learn civs but forgot some civs like Dehli and Chinese, they were way more complicated than English.

Yes, I think it would be more appropriate to make missions that will help to explore all Civilizations in the game

I think aoe4 have fear of success

Game needs more PvE content, or specifically, more replayability.

Mod tools support would go a long way here - there’s a good amount of custom content available as-is, but the ways some modders have to integrate their advanced scenarios is clunky and not straightforward for end users.

I really want a weekly rotating crazy gamemode or something. Nothing that would be forced on normal gameplay, just stuff to make it interesting to play.

Something like: all units explode when they die, meteors fall from the sky randomly, farms wither and die after being gathered from (with increase to their standard foodcap), 1 super ai vs 3 players (or 1 super player vs 3 normal ais)

They need to get really weird with it. I hope the Full Moon gamemode is just a drop from an upcoming deluge of new content. I really like the idea of facing waves of gaia forces.

Bring us something like Arena of the Gods in AoE IV!!

indeed mod can solve this problem, but mod also got its limits. once game update to a newer version, mod may also need to update too, or just crash.

beside the content editor are really hard to use imo (comparing age2 editor)

The game and game engine are much more complicated than AoE II or III. Understandably - they’re much older games.

That said, the usability and workflow could 100% be improved. It’s just unlikely to ever be simple.

The good news is there are plenty of modders who are currently up for modding the game, who produce content for it. Who also update their mods between versions.

The main issues are how unstable the editor is (it crashes a lot), as well as problems publishing mods (especially with non-English locale).
