proly dumbest idea ever i dont know but is there a way that it could be implemented...

for example like 10v10 battles...maybe the winning team get isk reward or something else CCP can think of...
it could have classes like frigate class pvp arena or etc.

for new pilots wanting to get a pvp fix it could perhaps give them their little thrill of eve. and perhaps pilots that wanna pvp but dont got too much time to go hunting....i dont know lol

thats a bad idea, because that would be equal fights, the thing that nobody likes in EVE lol

Biggest thing for most players is the discrepancies between their skills. For those from WoW, it's like a lvl 80 taking on a lvl 85 character ... not much fun Blink

nothing is stopping anyone from making this viable business in eve

you just need to establish trusted reputation and have some organization skills and will to do it.

There already is a PvP arena in EVE. It's called Tranquility.

That would not stop someone from coming and crashing the party. Arenas do not, and will never fit in the sandbox.

Tell that to anyone who has ever played sports.

The real world is a pretty big sandbox and arenas work in there just fine.

Feel free to set up an arena on your own. Once CCP starts adding features outside of the sandbox, like virtual arenas, the core game will be marginalized.

Wot. An entire solar system isn't arena enough for you?

Every single MMO that added an arena ended up killing pvp outside of it.

Finally, someone on this forum who gets it, EVE Online isn't balanced, even if you have 1vs1 if the other player can always fit something more stupidly powerful and even if you had two fits exactly the same it would be based on the number of bonuses you had on your character.

What we need is a new server with a complete overhaul of the game ( I would never suggest anything like what happened to Star Wars Galaxies so the trolls can keep their comments to themselves ) or an attempt to at least dull the edge of how much statistics effect the outcome of battles or at least make it more dynamic somehow. At least by using things like transversal velocity there's SOME skill involved it's just a shame it doesn't make a huge difference.

There is literally nothing preventing you from setting this up on your own. Go do it.

Go away troll, If you keep losing in PvP its either because you couldn't fit a ship if your life depended on it, or you fail to realise just how huge a difference transversal, tracking, optimal + falloff, resistances & damage types, ect actually make.

In EVE the order if importance is:

  1. Pilot skill (both fitting and flying)

  2. Luck (sometimes the other guy will fit a direct counter to your fit, sometimes its the other way around)

  3. Pilot skillpoints


@OP, try RvB, not arenas, but the FCs do try to keep the fights fun and fairish.

Life is better with him on block, trust me. Sadly it doesn't also block when he gets quoted. Sad

True and sad.

I like the idea of it, but it never turns out.

Eve is a pvp arena.

Ask the miners for details.
