Player Features and Ideas Discussion

1.Make a place, where you do not need to wait for a target if you want PVP.
2.Make a place, where you will face approximately same hulls, not like faction frigates vs T1 frigates in novice plexes.

1. Let say CONCORD arena let players come into special dead space in 2 teams of 5 or ten players on each side. Capture the flag, kill all, what ever scenario is good one. The main idea is that as soon as your team is registered by CONCORD you will get into waiting queue. You can see, what team are already waiting, so you can make your team quickly ready. Like you see that there is a team in T1 non-faction frigates and team in T2 cruiser hulls are ready and wait. You coose to fight in cruisers, fit accordingly and let your team register. You get your match. Almost no waiting, sitting on empty gate for who knows how long. Alternatively you can just register yourself as a single pilot for a fight and you will get in one with other random ppl.

2. Teams will be build on strictly same class, including separate classes for normal T1, faction, T2 and T3 ships. There can be also leagues, where experienced teams will meet equal opponents.

I know eve is a sand box and that this can empty usual PvP places, but lets face it - few years ago Eve can afford it to stay like this. Now gamers, who wants action, can go to some other online games, where they find fights, even with match making. They get them almost instantly, with just one click. And Eve with all its super nice infrustructure and traditions seem to lack this ability. I know places, where you will almost instantly get killed by local pirates but even there it can happen, that you will spin the button for 5- 10 minutes before they kill you. I see so many topics made by semi-newbees, who want to join the fight but they are sitting in different regions. Let them meet each other in some sort of match making, where they will not get slaughtered before learning much.

This idea is probably an old one, but it is so obvios... I did not find similar suggestion for next few pages of the F&ID section, so sorry, but I decided to make a post anyway.

I want to stay in my corp. I want the fight and I want it now, before some RvB arrange something big and serios. PvP in Eve is not RvB only. Of cause Brave newbees, factional warfare, RvB - that all give you more chances for fight. But you always have to wait long...
And this new arena can actually run on a separate server, or even servers if it will become that popular. So basically no need for TiDi or some other form of anti-lag software tools.

If you want an instant fight, there's never not suspects on jita undock.

Never liked the idea of arenas in EvE to my mind they would undermine the entire sandbox aspect of the game.

Not supported.

Quite so, I'm sure people would marvel at the opportunity to be super lazy and use it. Lots. Instead of pewpewing on the main server. Which hurts the original game. Which is bad. Which makes this a bad idea.

And scene.

Indeed.

I believe EVE Valkyrie I what you are looking for.

Valkyrie is not out yet. And from what I saw it will be a first man shooter rather then Eve online. I want to make Eve better, more populated. Not to find myself a clon of WoT in space ;) So I am 150 % positive to refactor the whole idea for something, what will not ruin sandbox, but gives players easier access to PvP and at least some form of match making better, than FW ones.

I do understand, that big part of the PvP personal skill is to avoid fights, where you can lose, but let also new player to fight before they die. Cause that is why we lose most of the players, who payed their first month of subscription. If I remember correctly, less, then 10 % of those, who payerd for their first month in the game, stay there.

Love the idea, a specific arena for duel or team fight sound great. without leaving corp, roaming etc...

Also why not plublic bet game on dual etc...
