Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I think there's quite a bit too much knee jerk reaction here. While I am not keen on 1v1 fights as they really aren't realistic for my part of nullsec, when I get home from work I'll give this a try. Definitely good for testing out fits in a controlled environment. Though, that's sometimes what I use SiSi for since things cost 100isk. I'll leave my judgement for after I try out this new Dojo-thing-a-ma-bob-that-floats-in-space and I implore other to do the same. No need to give other players false impressions.

There's something inherently novel about submitting prototype code on a design that's quite clearly going to be controversial, and then go post about it here to create a bit of forum drama, on your second last day at CCP. Scorched Earth all the way!

Man I'm going to miss you and your Cowboy ways.

sure it is the most eve-like implimentation, and it is awesome.

except i still don't think 'structured fights' should have a place in eve. especially when they're instanced off.

Please don't go.

If you don't like other people having structured fights, you can go inject a little bit of unstructuredness into their day by blowing up their dojo.


e: If structured fights have no place on TQ, do y'all folks also oppose the Alliance Tournament? New Eden Open?

My kid is about to wake up then I'm going to have to go to work after and it's not done patching... WANT NOW!!!!!

Hopefully some folks are on later to try this out, can't wait to have a go.

To everyone whining like the little bitches you are: get out. Vertias spends some time making something fun to give to a part of the eve community that massively respect him as a leaving present and you troll the **** out of him. **** off and get out of this thread you ungrateful **** s. This is on duality and likely never to hit TQ, but would be really awesome if it could be run as a side server for eve-players to develop an eve e-sports scene, so quit pissing your panties and leave us tourney nerds be k thx.

And Veritas, thanks again for all your work at CCP and all the best for the future.

Note: I am basing my understanding without having tried this out, but think I have my head wrapped around the concept based on the original post. From that reading, I also don't have much of a desire to try it out in the first place.

I'm going to put a +1 in the "would not like to see this happen on TQ column".

I'm not going to cry out this is the end of the sandbox, or EVE PvP would end, I think the fact that PvP would be handed to us, and consensual, is very anti-EVE. Sure people love the thrill of winning a fight with 5% hull, but just activating modules isn't just the only aspect of PvP. The searching, hunting, stalking, knowing the region, population, springing bait/traps, etc, are all aspects that could be affected by this (and in my opinion, those are some of the most fun things about PvP).

However, I do feel that if this ever made it to TQ (in its current form) it would be used less than the dueling feature (after the initial "everybody is doing it").

To quote CCP Falcon:

Here are some basic modifications you can do to make this acceptable:

Fights take place at the deployable. There should be nothing to stop you from warping to it. You have to be in your pod to board a ship from the deployable and risk getting podded, discouraging the use of expensive implants. Boarding a fitted ship from the deployable makes you drop fleet, enforces the boundary violation rule and enters you into a limited engagement with the opponent. Leaving that ship or joining a fleet counts as a forfeit but otherwise has no consequences. If foul play occurs that mechanically counts as a win, it's up to the participants to argue over it.

Plenty of risk here - the person that deploys and stocks the Dojo is risking it and everything he puts in it.

Can I assume there will also be loot dropped
