Hello All,

I know that I would be interested in doing more pvp in a "controlled" environment, as in 2 v 2, 3 v3, etc. The idea has been proposed many times that CCP do this, however, we all know that won't happen (some argue vociferously that it is anti-sandbox).

I am looking for interest primarily, my thoughts would be we do a ladder style system, pilots put down a deposit, locations are kept as secret as possible, for obvious reasons. Anyone found "cheating" loses their deposit, is ineligible for future events, etc. Clearly MANY terms need to be defined.

Why not just go to low sec? cause I feed pirates enough as it is already.

Will there be many ways for people to make it fail? sure there will.

Is it possible to have a lot of fun trying to make it work? Absolutely.

So if you're interested, please post here and let me know. I'll "like" your post so you know I've added your name to my list.

If you hate the idea, and think it and/or I am stupid for suggesting it, please let me know through your silence,

Best

Its not anti sandbox if the players Create it and control it. TBH is it makes it sandbox because player can control it and its not created and run by a dev team from CCP or any other company that involed in the making of eve online.

I for one would love a boxxing ring to siliance the dogs that call me out in eve but it will not happen

1 - Cloaked Logi, TD, Painters all that ****.
2 - It would have to be in 0.0 due to the Sec Status hit if its in low (then it will just get blobbed by some pirate gang. LOL i know would do it)
3 - just see 1 & 2 its the reason it can not happen

Sir, I think you misunderstand me. For CCP to run it, it would be anitsand, I agree. For us, it would be ******* awesome.

I have means for #1 and #2, so I ask, are you interested? If so, eve mail me and for fun, let me know who you're interested in taking on, maybe I can arrange a 1v1 for ya.

The silence is because I know you want this in hi-sec which is a no-go. The police (Concord) is not going to sit around letting people mame and murder each other. That would be a barbaric society that is not allowed as such in Hi..

As for WH. I don't know many wanting to jump into a WH for ***** and giggles just to arena fight. Practice for AT is a little different. I think a player run arena would be awesome. CCP just has to provide the mechanic whatever that would be.

Possibly it could be something like setting up a station. Laying the egg and filling with preferred modules for 2v2, 3v3.. etc. Something constructed in Null or Lo- (I'd be willing to bend on that one)

I think the silence is due to many reasons,

1) Not in the general forum,
2) At best 10% of the player base read the forums, likely less than half of those post,
3) Idea is very vague

Also Apollo-Moor, I didn't mention HS, and I have no intentions of doing HS

lol ... Goose, I understand that the history of these ventures have failed, why do you feel you need to keep repeating yourself?

Obviously, I took it upon myself to troll you until you give up on the idea.

Just use the test server.

I'd be generally in favor of this. I'd love to see a Roman Gladiator style arena -- basically Alliance Tournaments for the average Joes. You set up time, number of combatants per side, etc, and you get a "ring/arena" to fight in. No outside disturbances possible, no podding possible. Just a clean fight, but you DO lose your ship when it blows up of course.

My only worry is that it would deter a lot of people from low/null sec if they could get this type of PVP in a stadium environment. I'm not really looking to move WoT into Eve.

My thought is that the location would be dynamic, and the matches "invite only" meaning, you get asked if on night X, you can be within Y jumps of Jita (or other location). Then 15 mins before your match you get your location, if you bring others, you don't get invited back.

There are many ways it could be done, including JCs (although the 24 hr headache is pita). My other thought is to do it in C1 whs, all combatants enter without scan probe launcher, and then the hole is closed. That could provide the security needed.

If you try to make this through invitation and get the fighters in the same fleet in high sec, getting aggro from can fliping for example, most likely someone will eventually drop your fleet, fleet up rr or corp mates and ruin the match. Doing this through WHs involves way too much work to be worth it and you also have external variables you cannot control. AKA uninvited guests from the depths of space
