Player Features and Ideas Discussion

That cornerstone means that instances, of any kind, are explicitly excluded from the design of Eve, because they have no place here.

If people want arenas it's up to them to organise them, like many have before them. If they don't want others interfering, organise them on SiSi.

Nah it wouldn't change anything at all. Runescape had duel arena. Had no effect on the several versions of PvP that evolved throughout runescapes history from PvP areas to entire PvP enabled servers and PvP being put into minigames only.

What's interesting here is that eve already has a duel mechanic. There would be nothing wrong with creating a centralized location or dueling "hub" if a system or location doesn't already exist. You could even do a wreckage field as an asteroid belt or something. Like a ship graveyard, in the sense an asteroid belt is for mining the occasional system would have a ship graveyard for 1v1 or multiplayer duels.
Would be no different functionally than any player created systems that may be around already. Rather than 3 people making their own team and finding three other people to make a team this could be a formal dueling system, submit a fleet, establish rules and things like that. It would just be a more robust dueling system and not necessarily what op might be talking about.

There's nothing wrong with duel arenas. Gladiator style PvP is the best pvp.

Like my grandfather said, opinions are like noses everyone has at least one.


I will never understand or accept this argument, we already have thousands of dedicated magical areas around the EvE universe where a player or group of players can PvP with no risk of being blown up by other players. Yet people rarely complain about these and when someone does they are almost universally defended as a required part of the game.


Sorry but you are wrong, see above.

Name one area in EVE where you can PvP with zero risk of a third party ruining your day

name one

If you are going to go there, which is completely off topic of the OP, you have to risk ISK and assets to market PVP all the while someone can under cut you or out bid you buy orders causing you to fail in that market.
So no there is definitely risk involved with market PVP, also there is the fact that you have to haul your goods to a market which is dangerous in and of itself.

i get figuratively beaten up and robbed every time i open the market tab.
the markets arent safe

arguably more dagerous

I remember my first Tech 2 Frigate.

It was only a month later that someone pointed out that Assault Frigates go for around 15 to 20 million at the market hubs... not 120 million.

Yeah... the markets are no better than forms of combat you find in low-sec.

And few people ***** that they are effectively forced to utilize the market to get anywhere in the game in any reasonable amount of time.
But God forbid that someone shoots their spaceship without their consent... ohhh noooooooooooo...

If you've figured out how to play the market without competing with other players, please let me know. Until then....
