There is not any PVP in survival recreation Enshrouded, however that does not imply there aren’t methods to harm different gamers. Regardless of the 100% co-op nature of participant interplay, there have been experiences of some dastardly deeds being accomplished in multiplayer periods. Nobody’s died but, however pleasant co-op vibes have undoubtedly been hacked to demise.
Enshrouded works so much like Valhiem, the place the characters you create aren’t tied to servers you created them on. You may take your character and their belongings to any server or world you want, and no matter you acquire there—weapons, gear, assets, even expertise—all comes with you if you disconnect.
This form of system is beneficial when you resolve to take all of your stuff and play some other place, like a buddy’s server, or when you select to depart a multiplayer server and play some other place. The issues start when folks begin abusing the system by taking stuff that does not belong to them and vanishing ceaselessly.
It is identical to Michael Corleone mentioned in The Godfather: Maintain your folks shut however your enemies nearer, and hold your multiplayer servers password-protected.
“Simply had two f*cks come into me and my companions world and take all the pieces from our chests,” mentioned JakD987 on Reddit. “Keep in mind to place a password in your servers!”
Jak is not alone. In the identical thread and some others, gamers are sharing tales of invaders making the most of unpassworded servers.
“This occurred to us day one as a result of our server host’s password setting wasn’t working!” mentioned Renegade_Python. “However we wished to play so unhealthy.. it occurred like 3 occasions earlier than the server host mounted it for us.”
“Somebody took each single merchandise I had collected and saved in chests. A whole bunch of things and hours of labor,” mentioned R3d_P3nguin. “I entered my compound and watched him exit my essential home. We stopped and stared at one another for a second earlier than he disconnected.”
“I had some guys soar on and take all my stuff, new to the sport so this was disappointing because it took me some time to get used to all the pieces, then to grind and have stuff taken from the chests,” mentioned Deaths_Kaos.
Stealing is not the one nefarious exercise, both.
“2 assholes got here out of nowhere and began placing explosive barrels throughout my room,” mentioned RedWerFur. “I hit escape, didn’t see a celebration choice to kick them, then I simply give up to essential menu. Loaded again in with a password. They’d positioned round 20 explosive barrels throughout my crafters and chests.”
Fortunately the interlopers did not have time to detonate the bottom, although they did steal from a few of RedWerFur’s chests, too.
One other participant, evensteventyler, was additionally the sufferer of some base vandalism. “A number of random folks joined, not inflicting any havoc. I used to be like wtf? Thought it was my associates trolling me. Then I went additional away from my base and a few douchebag was busy eradicating all of my home that I constructed. Spent a pair hours messing round and making a reasonably cool 2 story home that I favored. Now I’ve a small shack and a password on my server that works correctly. Lol”
“I performed on public server when the sport launched and it was simply chaos with just a few gamers griefing bases,” mentioned MysteriousElephant15. “In the event you may stop them from teleporting to your base and have interaction pvp, perhaps it could be fascinating however, no, you possibly can’t do something in opposition to it.”
What are you able to do to keep away from being pillaged or vandalized? For now, simply password any on-line periods you’ve got and solely let your most trusted buddies play with you.
However I would not be stunned if there is a extra official resolution sooner or later. Valheim has a Ward, a placeable merchandise that stops different gamers from altering your base and opening chests. I count on Eager Video games would possibly add one thing prefer it sooner or later to make it a bit safer to play Enshrouded on-line with strangers.
