Nothing will ever go forward on it. Code does exist for it in a proto form, Veritas did work on a 1v1 system called "dojos" before leaving CCP as his flex project. It did not survive contact with the opinions of the player base even though it's more or less sitting completed. It was shouted down so loudly it didn't really even enter limited testing to see what sort of impact it would have.<br /><br />I don't particularly agree with their reasons for shouting it down. But.. shrug. In some instances we're our own worst enemy in why we can't have nice things. Not the first or last intriguing idea that didn't survive contact with the player base even for a limited test run.Halyconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799009527451064697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-31565137852673933212016-03-06T22:30:56.931+00:002016-03-06T22:30:56.931+00:00I would argue it hugely detracts from world pvp in...I would argue it hugely detracts from world pvp in WoW. Originally there were no battlegrounds and players fought in the leveling up zones, most notably Southshore/Tarren Mill. As BGs became established we saw people drift away from that style of play to the more rewarding BGs.<br /><br />In Warhammer Online the effect was even more marked. The game was intended to be a RvR game. In beta they added scenarios (their word for battlegrounds), then players complained they weren't rewarding enough. Just before launch they significantly buffed scenario rewards so the game launched and all the PvPers did instances all day.<br /><br />If we introduce BGs to Eve, eventually the people who do them will work out they need rewards to shorten queue times to an acceptable wait.<br /><br />In addition these areas would have to be immune to open world pvp - we can't just come hotdrop you. So you're asking for a zone even safer than freighter hauling in a 1.0 high sec system.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.com
