I for one don't understand the sand part.

It should be called a spacebox.

Really?

PvP doesn't exist and never did.............
It's always PvP's......... less against more.
No arena's.
Wanna have fun? Shoot at something that fly's by and see what happens.

IMO the thought of having a scene set for 1vs1 PVP would totaly ruin the whole idea and atmosphere of EVE.
It would take it 1 step closer to WOW than necessary.

I started playing EVE because its a world open for you.
Not a scene set for you.

Sandbox ... sandbox .. sandbox ..

The more artificial rules you put into it the less sandbox it is ..

Only those look for 1vs1 that know for sure they are going to win due to overpower in some field. This applies in real life as well as EVE. (and usually the searcher has friends standing by if **** goes the other way)

Going to have to say this thread is dumb. Although, it's nice you're trying figure out new ways to improve the game.

I Google'd a definition of sandbox game.
Can someone explain to me how the idea I have posted breaks these princilple of any of these defintions?

Don't take this be wrong way, but some of you have an false understanding of what sandbox means.

Having a zone for 1v1 PVP ONLY would break that imo.
And lets say even that it WOULDNT break the Sandbox effect.

Even if EVE is scifi, it has somewhat a realistic perspective..
A limitation on 1vs1 PVP in a system only would make no sence at all...

Imagine walking into a bar and seeing a sign on the door:
Fighting is allowed in here, but only 1vs1 !

........................SAY WHAT?



Either the system/"bar" is guarded to prevent combat or not. ^^
This is an MMO. Not an arcade game.

Does there need to be an entire system dedicated to solo pvp? Why not just spawn a celestial beacon named "Dueling ground" 1-2 jumps from every major trade hub. That way people could hang out there and see instantly if there's suitable opponents availabe. I don't know how the cluster system works but this could also ease the server load on trade hubs.

Personally I'd like to see a proper dueling system without the ridiculous can flippings or corp involvement. Just select your target from overview and challenge him to a fight to death. Shouldn't be too hard to do and would hardly break neither the sandbox nor the very principles of EVE.

OP, If you don't like Eve PVP then find another game to play.

Arranged 1v1s are usually boring. Most of us prefer the thrill of hunting someone down or playing with gangs to pick off the weaker/stupid members.

There is nothing better than the thrill of thinking you will probably die and then managing to get out with a kill. That is why people roam solo - not so much to find 1v1s as you rarely do, but to get kills against the odds.

Eve PVP at the moment doesn't only rely on fittings and SP - but also on pilot experience, knowledge, skill and intelligence.

Some sort of Arena PVP will boil down to SP and fittings having too much influence on the fight. You would lose all those other factors that give you such an adrenaline rush.

Perhaps Call of Duty would suit you better, or if you hold on for a couple of years, EVE is bringing out Dust for people not quite bright enough to play Eve.

@OP: Honestly, this game is horrible solo, but hey, I like people.


Go play an FPS...or duel someone in world of warcraft.

My new goal is to bubble a super....but who is going to kill it for me?

I like people too, but I have several dilema's holding me back.

1 - i don't like being bossed around by knuckleheads (my leaderships starts to show pretty quickly when people scratch my surface)
2 - I like freedom when it comes to my game time, I don't have alot of free time usually so I tend to already have things in mind to accomplish with my limited time.
3 - I wouldn't mind starting my own Corp, but with my limited game experience and the nature of eve I would be severely disadvantaged.

I do like Eve. I did learn a good lesson with the new crucible patch. Don't buy any ships on day 1. lol. I lost about 180million isk becuase I couldn't wait one day.

comments welcome. I hope everyone is having fun

EVEonline is about the immersion
the feel of being around other players and the ever expanding quota of tears for my cup of evil

i for one think this idea can go to the failbin
for a few reasons
1) EVE is an "MMORPG" can the OP please state what this means? no? well it means other people are going to take a dump in your cerial at every chance they get for as much excitement as they can garner from it.

2) the OP doesnt get the idea behind aggro mechanics because shut up

3) the OP is always going to be outnumbered by people who want to kill him because killmails are just irresistable to your average joe... and how many of those are here on the forums let alone the EVEonline universe

4) OP thinks that instances will save you from the vastly superior enemy, then i am mightily laughing in my boots

as the heavy from TF2 says:
"CRY SOME MORE!"
