The way it works is you and an opponent pick ships from a selection already in the dojo, match is created and you are magically placed inside the ship you chose.
Anyone trying to warp to you, say if you fleet them during the 5 minutes, simply gets warped to the dojo deployable itself, not the arena. So I think outside parties using it to hide would be SOL unless they had an exact duplicate of their current ship sat unassembled in the dojo. RvB Ganked: EVE's Number One Public Roam |

Under the vague description of the proposed mechanic I get the impression that flying to the depot is not needed by the person who deploys it? Or the invited guest? That there is some in station stocking of items and match making? Is that correct?
***IF*** this makes it to TQ what reason would anyone have to deploy these anywhere else but in HS where there would be almost zero risk to assets?
48h Reinforce timer means ample time for assets to be evacuated. No bubbles means nothing actually stopping anyone from leaving with assets. Meaning no reason to bother shooting the arena deployable whatsoever.
Given most pilots in Eve will go to great lengths to minimize risk in any form I don't see this being used anywhere other than HS so that peoples assets are untouchable....and effectively unassailable while in space
Idgi The owner has to deploy it in space. The owner has to go into space to stock it. Matches can be arranged from anywhere in system it looks like, you do not necessily have to be docked. Am uncertain (not tested this aspect), if being in space in a ship already affects anything. When a match starts, players are transported from station to the arena and magically placed in the ship they choose. Participants cannot warp in or out of the arenas, or even inside it. One additional point to address his statement about them only being in high sec... currently I don't believe you enjoy Concord immunity while in a match... though that would likely change.

All you leet people here whinning about the dead of 1v1 are just ridiculous. Flying for hours and searching for someone to kill with your off grid booster and cyno ready, is just pathetic and should not be the focus of PvP oriented gameplay design. Arenas are fine for people that want just fights. No drama, no ogb, no falcon, no blob, just figts. PvP in general - 1v1, fleet, blob, whatever - in my opinion should happen where player interests collide. This can be sov or fw or hunting explorers, haulers, or other juicy targets whereever you want. But it should focus on the friction that different interests generate.
So *thumbs up* from me. I hope the feature get's more dev time and focus to become a great arena implementation with betting, tournaments and competitions, maybe even leaderboards, crack and whores. As I said, who wants to go hunt things and risk being blobbed when you can push button get fight.
Bold added by me
Because getting blobbed isn't fun? Because blobbing people is just lazy? Because being in a blob doesn't require and skill?

25 pages of people screaming yes/no and how Eve is about to die when this feature is implemented. It seems to cause some conflict.
I like this idea.
Duel mechanics needed an iteration anyway, and this is going to be a lot easier organizing small tournaments. People can throw matches I suppose, or "coerce" another player into doing so. I couldn't care less if blobbers will have a harder time stomping on people looking for an actual fight. Nor will the dojo feature fully satiate my lust for emergent PVP. |

I think this would reduce the number of ships/fleets roaming and therefore openworld pvp. For that reason I hope it is not implemented.
If it is implemented then please make it destructible. Bloody hell, another eve blog! http://johnnytwelvebore.wordpress.com

The issue is that most people looking for 1v1s will just use these things rather than going out roaming and PvP in the wider world will be greatly harmed. All you are doing is proving my point that people prefer to use arenas over having to go out and look for a fight and take bigger risks of things going wrong for them.

Are you thinking the dead space pocket remains after the 5 minute match ends?
Because I rather doubt that... otherwise you'd have little pockets of "safe" space all over the place. Not that it would matter actually... because you can't warp into one. You would be bounced back to the arena structure... which would probably end rather badly for you. If you like EVE Online and War Thunder content stop by my YouTube channel.-á

Right, because when you take out a 7 man gang of t1 cruisers, its your fault for getting hotdropped by supers. You just didn't try hard enough and take a big enough risk to get "The good stuff"
Honestly, I would probably use the dojo with my corpmates. That at least is the biggest appeal I see for it. I think if you added larger fleets, betting/gambling, then it becomes a larger risk of affecting PvP I will agree. I do however think this has a lot of potential to be a great teaching tool, especially for new players. |

Yes you won't be able to blob people looking for 1v1s if they to use dojos instead of roaming for hours to get decent fights, what a shame people should roam for hours so you can blob them because people looking for 1v1s having fun is illegal (it's in the rules of eve, btw if you don't agree with me eve will die).
You also forgot that a lot of people look for outnumbered fight and that adding dojos won't affect them.
Do you want to go for a quick 1v1 and have no time for a roam ? Go to a dojo.
Do you have time and are you fine going 1 vs odds ? Go roam.
It's all about options and choices. |

Quote: The owner has to deploy it in space. The owner has to go into space to stock it.
Ok, so that's two points of the 'this thing just screams KILL ME WHEN I SET IT UP' list.
Can items be removed when it's RF'd? Does it have an anchoring timer, allowing people to find them and set up waiting for the owner to come stock it? How much storage space does it have (ie: how often would it have to be restocked, as the more often it needs to be restocked, the riskier it is to deploy one)? |

It's not bad for the solo player because solo players can use dojos, you know it's literally made for them and a lot of solo players are excited for the dojos implementation. |
