Question for clarification. is this 5 minute timer the time in which combat can start? Or a limit on how long the fight can last? I can't imagine many fights created this way lasting more than 5 minutes but it could happen. |

OFF GRID BOOSTS
disable them while dueling or something - its not honourable to cheat as many do now.
I like the idea, but how it works in Eve is often different kettle of fish
Advantages within the confines of the system aren't cheats. They may not be fair but they aren't cheats. Boosters can be beaten, you just have to know how.
Also, please fix pos's. |

I applaud the idea of a dueling mechanic and have mentioned it to Two step atleast once.
But that doesn't mean people shouldn't miss the opportunity to draw the attention of developers to the things they think need attention. Cato the Elder didn't let little things like discussions on agriculture to point out his ardent belief that Carthage needed to be destroyed.
On that note, please fix pos's. |

I think you read duel and stopped there. They aren't proposing a safe style of combat beyond anything other than two people being able to fight in high sec without drawing the ire of concord. The word arena doesn't show up in the blog at all.
As for the idea of leagues, these while brillant in my opinion should be organized by players and not by CCP. at least not with this system. If players want to organize leagues on their own to be able to fight in a semi-controlled enviroment then more power too them. I want EVE to remain as much a sandbox as the next person and veiw dueling as just another tool to play with in said sandbox. |

Have to agree with Schmata Bastanold... The first rule of EVE has always been that if you aren't prepared to lose it then don't undock. |

So you can guarantee 100% that there won't come a 10vs10 "duel" in any future because it hasn't been mentioned yet. Brilliant. Thank you.
I don't see how that's a problem. They do talk about being able to have more people involved, it's at the very end of the blog. Think of it as a short legal wardec with few of the downsides that come with the wardec system.
Just because 2, 5, 15, or even 100 people are able to engage in a massive knockdown-dragout for a few minutes in highsec without Concord interference doesn't mean it's automatically bad. It also doesn't mean other players won't try their damnedest to spoil it.
The only way i'm going to get upset with this is if they take it outside the bounds of the normal game play into an instance. |
