Also,
Something that should be made clear particularly for new players is that your ship will be lost, often in other games Dueling with another player wont actually result in any loss at all. just a victory notice or something.
Will a players pod also be able to be destroyed? vaguely remember reading that under limited engagements you can pod someone who has aggressed you, correct me if I'm wrong.

I realize the elitist attitude in this game is far more prevalent then most; however, for any game to survive you have to cater to an incoming class of players (beginners/noobs). As with anything in life, people will only do things they enjoy. Part of enjoying any game is learning. Learning takes practice. Any way that a game can facilitate that learning is a plus for the community as a whole.

I'm not sure where you're getting that I said either low-sec was "evil" or that it was "inconvenient." All I did was observe that there apparently already is, or rather was and perhaps with FW one could still say is, an "arena" atmosphere in some sections of low-sec. These changes don't really add anything new, but they do legitimize what's been there for years.
Schmata Bastanold wrote:I'm sorry, you mean those plexes that were removed from lowsec due to "metrics showing farming in hisec"? Plexes which disappeared because of change that was smuggled into Retribution without any warning and annihilated huge chunk of lowsec pvp. Those plexes?
Yup, exactly those!
I haven't been logging in much lately so keeping track of and remembering changes to play styles that aren't really up my alley isn't easy. I even just got caught up on those changes a few days ago and they completely slipped my mind, which is sad given that I posted in a related topic asking if that meant that 2/10 high-sec drone complexes were fixed given that they'd been broken for years. /shrugs.
Rordan D'Kherr wrote: Because it weakens
- the purpose of wardecs, - the meaning of hisec vs. low /null and - the sandbox approach at all.
The purpose of war-decs is to engage in comparatively regulated small-scale PvP? Low-sec has real meaning and null-sec allows for random, limited-scale PvP without significant worries about wtfstomp battlegroups ruining the "fun" to work well? Adding options to a game limits its "sandbox" nature? Or are you suggesting that "creative workarounds" to bypass game mechanics is a good thing?
Mara Pahrdi wrote:Maybe because the solution they chose is anything but immersive. Contrary to the one that existed before. It may have been clumsy, but at least you had to interact more with your environment.
What other forms of PvP require environmental interaction? Gate camps, PoS assaults, and station games are the only ones I can really think of. Well, and anything involving an acceleration gate. I don't really see any of those first three getting listed in the top three spots for what people like about EVE PvP. |

Thank You. So much this. Window-spamming is abusable in many forms (such as fleet invites), and there should be an option to murder it if we choose. Speaking of which, you should also look at fleet invites. Actually I have an even better idea. If you window spam you'll be immobile and unable to dock, jump, or activate modules for 15 minutes while you're in a limited engagement with the person you spammed for that duration. ;) Phrases like "you can't nerf / buff X EVE is a Sandbox" have the same amount of meaning as "If this is a sack of potatoes then you can not carrot." - Alara IonStorm Want to enable BBcode on the forums?

Sounds great.
Only one piece of feedback.
Let me put up ISK as a reward to the opponent if they beat me. A kind of "mini bounty".
This could even be a two way thing. Where the opponent must also accept to put a "mini bounty" on themselves for the fight and the winner takes all. |

My stance on this subject has nothing to do with being elitist.
You wanna pvp do it right way and there is only one right way to do it: doing it for real. Anything staged and with safety nets like game mechanics which will end fight at hull is artificial and has nothing to do with training pvp. Most of glorious fights are won deep in hull with flames burning bright and long trail of smoke your ship is producing when doing that last circle around opponent's wreck. Newbies have to know and understand that fight is not over until you have a shred of hull and locked target for your guns.
Catering to e-honour knights in shiny armors by creating rainbow bubbles around engagements will put off vets looking for good fights and teach newbies nothing.
FFS man, you are in RvB - as far as I know the only wardec that is burning for years and is excellent training for newbies. What more do you want? You wanna try new fit?

I dunno, maybe because that'd defeat the purpose of EVE being "PvP anytime anywhere?"

#1 Do'able, but only if there are NPC guards (something "tough, but fair" of course, it's low-sec, not high-sec) in low-sec and CONCORD in high-sec to provide consequences for people breaking the rules.
#2 Considerable. Just remember that cosmetic options increase the size of the client's resource files and the amount of things the art team needs to keep updated.
#3 No. Achievements do nothing but make people feel vaguely good about grinding, and I don't think that that's a particularly good thing for MMOs. Secondly achievements come with achievement whores and the mentality that achievements actually mean a damn thing. EVE doesn't need them.
#4 Again, I'm going to have to say no. There are way too many possibilities in EVE to make any sort of PvP ranking system anything but a laughable farce and subsequently a waste of developers' time and resources. Furthermore giving people even cosmetic rewards for gaming a meta-game inside a meta-game doesn't really strike me as a good idea.
#3 and #4 Another issue with the ideas is that, at least as currently suggested, they create something out of nothing. Who or what monitors achievements? Who or what hands out the rewards? Why are they handing out these rewards? Replace achievements with PvP ranks.
#5 We've already got that with the Captains' Quarters. If you want customizable player housing so that players can add a few knickknacks, some wall hangings, a throw rug, or a few stuffed animals to their CQ in a specific station then I can agree with that, but in order to do that CCP would have to do quite a bit of work ranging from more art assets to a method of placing the items in the CQ, when people are already complaining about CCP (apparently) not working on higher-(player-)priority items like PoSes.

Quite true, but there are two things to consider. Often the "honor" that involves dueling isn't real honor, it rarely ever has been even in literature, and the mechanics proposed here don't really force or shackle anyone in such a way as to prevent them from doing something dishonorable. You can just as easily gank someone after the CONCORD interdiction nullification time period has been lifted or have a friend do it for you with this system as you can without it.
No no, teasing, not trolling. It's a completely different thing.

Honestly, I don't see that there is any more "right way" in can flipping or joining the same corporation for two or players to have CONCORD-free high-sec PvP than there is with some sort of "CONCORD Interdiction Nullification Timer." There aren't even any limits like, "Only to 50% hull, man!" with a CINT.
As for "e-honour knights," does it really matter on any practical level? Idiots are going to be idiots regardless of whether or not there are game mechanics in place to codify their idiocy. All that I've read, and I can't guarantee I've read everything, posted is that there's a 5 minute CINT and that's it. No magical bubbles to protect the participants from outside interference, no mystical wormholes to instantly translate the fighters to secure Jovian space, and no, "You have reached 30% hull and must terminate combat. You have 30 seconds to comply." messaging. |
