Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I am almost 30 years old. And my time for eve is less and less. It's hard to find a gf when you have few time in eve especially in AU time zone. My corp members are same as me as they get married and have children. If there is an arena, it is easy for us to find some gfs in very shot game time. Our corp used to roaming for 3~4 hours without a fight, this is what we can't pay now. That's why my corp members leave eve. They couldn't find fun in short game time. Although I still like roaming, but time for roaming is luxurious for us now.

Could you pls add arena in game? It will be a good reason for my corp member to back to eve.

Here is some suggestions.

1. Team could win lp when win a battle. There could be special drops, skins in lp store.

2. Maybe there is a rank system for every arena season that could give a medal as memento.

3. There could be some ticket fee to enter arena and winner could get some payback or depend on destruct isk.

4. The tournament tool is a good tool for arena and maybe the fundament for arena.

5. If it is hard to programme arena, give someone could use the tournament tool by pay some isk or plex. It is always good to consume something and help ppl to organize arena.

Thanks you for taking your time.

The code was written, https://www.themittani.com/news/ccp-veritas-parting-gift-dojo but nothing ever came of it. You may want to ask one of the CSM members what happened and if enough community support might boost its priority.

Also duels.

Arenas are against the very nature of Eve and the sandbox. My vote is no.

No.

You should biomass and start over, rethink what EvE is.

The first times I thought through this idea, it seemed like it should be a thing. Nowadays I'm against it, mostly because it's been in the game for a long long time in the form of FW. What I would like from FW though is to be able to join it without leaving my corp to make it even more accessible.

agree the arena idea. why ccp do not make a subgame just include arena and we afkers will be very pleasure to pay for this

1. EVE is a sandbox game, so there should not be a arena.

Yes it is not a part of game now, but I think a sandbox game is not incompatible with arena.

2.You should just go low sec and fight.

I have spent a lot of time in low sec roaming. I can tell you a lot of tricks in low sec, such as solo player with cloaking falcon or logi or both, bait or tackle with full tank punisher, maller, if the target have strong reinforcement, you just lost a cheap ship and avoid any kind of being kitting, slowly killed by a more than 10KM/S garmur(for old off grid link time, you could easily do this with snake impants set), hot drop super for battlecruiser(Which PL have done that for my fleet once, thanks for change of jump fatigue, capital operation is harder than before) and etc.

For first time you met these, you may be think is fun. If you suffer a lot of times, there will be no fun at all. By learning these failure you will know the end before fight. I learned to check KB before fights to see if someone will use ecm alts or so on. As nobody just want to lose their ship, they will engage when they have some advantages. This will decrease chance to fight. I am really tired of these tricks which cost a lot of time to prepare before a fight, and just want to a relatively fair PVP. That's why I suggest arena.

3. Create your own arena.

Here is a story of my PVP experience. At that time you could use off grid links. In a low sec system, one of my corp invite one solo player who has a off grid link alt to a 1v1 fight and rest of my corp member will not help him. Solo player agreed and fight my corp member. In this fight, the rest of my corp just kill his link alts when they are on 1V1.

So you can see it is a big price to make to trust. Anyone will against rule with big rewards. If there is an arena, the cost of trust will be lower, and fight will be more fair.

This is my new suggest:
It is very boring, especially for 1V1 when both fit a lot of deadspace equipments. If you are a good EFT warrior, you will know it is easy to increase self-repair effective and hard to increase dps. Same level of ships will easy to tank each other. The one who die first always the one out of cap charges. So AT rule is suit for arena, this rule restrict Defense efficiency.

Sisi and Faction warfare have you covered.

I do agree about the time taken to find fights on a roam though. I wouldn't mind warping to be faster.

In exchange, maybe tone prop-mods down a bit to reduce sub-warp speeds. Ships have gotten faster at a rate that has outpaced weapon system ranges, while server ticks are still 1 hertz. So combat can be a bit too: "Here he com...goes!"
