Exactly. If it's not hard and people are asking for it, why not implement official arenas? People have been asking for it ever since i started playing.

Right now i couldn't care less but i'm openminded enough to see how some people would like such a feature and that it would probably hugely benefit this game, especially in teaching new players how eve ship on ship combat works.

If alliance tournament is not a part of eve then neither is the metagame or third party development...

Jenn just said what I was gonna say, but I'm gonna say it anyway.

Why do you need CCP to hold your hand for you? You want events and arenas? Then host them yourself. Hell, let me know when you do, I'll throw down.

If people asked for panda bears with space wings, would that be a good idea?

Ideas have to stand on their own merits. This idea is bad, on it's own merits.

The people asking for arenas are asking for a 'short cut to pvp' or pvp on demand. EVE isn't about instant gratification, if you want pvp, go out and make it happen, either by roaming, picking fights, and meeting people and setting up duels/tournaments.




People would also like indestructible ships, no non-consensual pvp in high sec and other such un-EVE-like nonsense. Just because people want it doesn't make it good.

And if new players want to learn ship on ship combat, they should learn it the same way the rest of us did for the last 11 years: jump in a ship, shoot the wrong person, die in a space-fire and repeat till you stop dying. If a player needs hand holding in this aspect of the game, he probably shouldn't be playing EVE to begin with.



The AT is a sporting Event. CCP aslo does other live events. That doesn't mean that they should have to do EVERYTHING for us, those are just nice perks they give.

What you are asking for is a whole different animal, and it's something the game doesn't need.



You have every right to disagree with the truth. What this particular DEV posted amounts to "you can already do this" which is the truth.

*Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

What is wrong with CCP supporting/promoting new forms of PVP and what would official arena support take away from the game?

We have war decs to to help control when and where we engage people. Official arena support is kind of the same thing. Asking for an official system to enable us to create content t that appeals to more people is not the same as wanting CCP to hand-hold.

You are my favorite

What's wrong with CCP spending time and money to make something for lazy players that they can already do for themselves? There, i just answered your question.

As for what it takes away from the game? It takes away the pvp. With areans, instead of interpid capsuleer venturing forth into the darkness to fight for fame and glory, they would be too bust playing 'Jita Gladiator' in the dome. In EVE, PEOPLE are content, you want them flying around various parts of space making things happen, not sitting on one place doing pre-made 'fap' content.



Yes it is. Players already have all the tools needed to make content, those tools being "a game client, guns and spaceships".

This thread is no different than that "EVE needs better PVE" threads. It's composed of uncreative, lazy, entitled people who want game DEVs to play the game for them in the 'name of the children' (new players).

There are 2 types of people in the world, DOers, and people who expect others to do the heavy lifting (and thinking). What if the people who made EVE University (a player run group that takes in new people and teaches them the ropes), RvB, Brave Newbies and all the other groups thought like you?

They'd have done nothing but beg CCP and all the players they've helped over the years would be playing other games.

If you want someone to teach new players how to fight Rek, TEACH them. What are you waiting for?

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

That said, as this thread is more a proposal for a new game feature as opposed to a discussion piece, it gets a lock.
I could have moved it to the Features & Ideas Discussion part of the forum, but as similar proposals have been brought up there numerous times, it would get instantly locked for redundancy.

16. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.
