Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello,

My name is Admiral EnderWiggin, I have a few years of experience in EVE, and I'd like to propose an Idea that could redefine the pace of PvP in High Sec and maybe bring more players to experience this side of EVE.

I always watched the Alliance Tournament videos and it seemed like an alien thing to me at first, unreachable, something that only the big boys and famous people would participate in, that was my view in the past as a new player, but i doesn't have to be like that. What if , we had an arena system that would behave like the Alliance Tournament in Empire ?

We'd have one arena corporation on each faction ( maybe could be added to the Faction Warfare corp ), where players would pay a fee to get in with pre-formed teams or pick up teams, and then they would get a pre-set ship/ team comp(maybe?... but leave some flexibility to it) ( this would be according to skills , or maybe not even using actual skills here , and brackets ) according to fee paid and a bracket system, where two teams would fight for riches and mostly glory, the loser gets nothing, the winner gets a brand new ship, glory and some ISK. The arena would be set in an unreachable system or maybe even on a separate server so that only the two teams would have access to the battle space, after the end of the match players/teams would get rating based on performance, maybe keep the ships if they're on the winning team ( the ones who lost theirs would get brand new ones or this won't make sense ), ISK , special modules, whatever the devs feel like adding to the game. There could be a ladder system like a championship on best teams / players, and it could also be used as a sink or faucet depenting on what devs deem best for the economy.

It would bring many people to the PvP aspect of the game without them being terrified of the unknown in 0.0 / WH space. In time special events could be held in 0.0 space and this could bring new breed of players to null. This system would encourage players to play at a predictable risk within boundaries they can accept more easily than if they just went to null and got facerolled by gate camp. I know a lot of people that even in null only use less expensive ships like frigates and cruisers because of risk, I'm sure that my system would make it possible to have players getting experience in bigger ships with a more acceptable risk. Lore wise it could be made into an awesome history, think about the glories of having a kind of sport league in EVE where the best ones would be known across the universe simply because players would have more contact with them ?

It is easy to notice how crowded Empire space is today by looking at average number of players in space statistics, and I believe my idea could bring some of those to like PvP more and come delve in null or WH space.


So this is my idea and I wish to receive feedback from you guys ! ... and maybe someday see it in game .... I would love to elaborate more on it if requested, or help on its development if it is deemed a viable idea, I am an electronic engineer by trade and know some of the technical aspects involved. This would be awesome neh ?

Look forward to hearing from you !

-PS: Awesome feature would be having replay system or live relay of the fight for other players to watch high rated players during battles.

Please Please no.

LRN 2 PARAGRAPH.

Arranged fights with consenting corporations and little outside interference....RvB

That is exactly what I would like to achieve , but on tranquility.

No, nein, nai, niet, ni
Please keep this wow garbage out of my game. This would RUIN Eve. Also being that your a complete noob when it comes to PVP, you probably should get more experience with it before you suggest ideas like this. This concept goes against the core of what Eve pvp is. Why not just play one of the many carbon copy **** wow clones that all do pvp like that if that is what you want?

Eve PvP isn't fair just as life itself isn't fair. This is why we LOVE IT.

I meant it to be like the alliance tournament format, Is that wrong ? I don't see why it would be a carbon copy of another game. And it would also be designed with the intent of getting more players into PvP ... the PvP the way you like it in null sec , etc. There are a LOT of players in eve that only do PvE content ... why would it not be worth it trying to take them into PvP activities ?

BLASPHEMY!!!

Yelling blasphemy is just so much cooler than no.
