Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Can't you do that..?
Seriously, you spend all that time in this thread arguing and portray a notable personal interest in this feature/its abolishment, yet you cannot update Duality and try it yourself before attempting to debate everyone to the ground?

My first lesson involved a main road, a bus route and several encounters with 40ft Volvos

No I cant. Hence why I am having to dig for info on the damn things.

Wouldn't be the first time we broke something like this. The best way to get this right is to try and break it in every way possible before it gets anywhere near tranq.

Incidently, if these are in highsec will concord respond if you jump into a fight while still on a timer?

Viewable on the screen in your captains quarters.

We have 3km widescreens in space and you want a telly in a cupboard?

I do not understand how this impacts non-consensual PVP. The people using it would be consenting and the pacifists I imagine would not use it and thus be out in the open waiting for your gank.

Its important to note the idea is based around a deploy-able module that would be initiated by players. Its not a special part of space or separate star system implemented by CCP. It isn't a que you select at the log-in screen or a special server. It leaves it in the players hands to organize the event, invite other players, gather modules, etc.

5 Minute match duration - or sooner if one party wins.

trying to warp a 3rd party to yourself in arena doesnt work.

Placing all the parts for a booster in the dojo, then selecting that as your ship for the match, DOES work.

You can be fleeted with people who are in these arenas, as can they you if you are in them. However they will not be able to warp to you.

I can see a couple of ways of how abuses could happen, but it means some serious multitask work, having one of these stocked and up in each system you run in and so much more - assuming someone would try to abuse the link alt aspect.

Okay, I got to within 50k km of the "arena" by warping to my alt. However this was in a bugged arena that had no timer or anything, do not take this as gospel.

Arguing over the exact mechanics in a prototype is kind of pointless. If people have specific concerns (such as being able to run links within them, getting out of a camped station, etc), bring those up and those can be addressed if and when this gets real design work.

The arguing about if this would reduce PvP has gotten rather dumb. First of all, the reason people wouldn't be dojoing all day is because fights in the dojo don't matter in the wider eve world. They can't get you sov, they can't gain you money even.

I also find the worrying about these becoming too popular to be hilarious, frankly. The only way they would be too popular is if they are more fun than whatever else people are doing in game. That is not a problem with dojos, that is a problem with the rest of the stuff to do in game.
