What are everyone's thoughts on matchmaking pvp?

Flying in a set playable space (no super cruising out) 3v3 / 5v5 / 8v8 in whatever battleground you choose (icy rings etc). The gameplay would be so varied, anything could happen!

There are a few kinks that will need ironing out, but it could work, and when/if it does, it will be amazing!

More features = bigger audience
You don't have to take part if you don't want to remember!

Just an idea for the players seeking team gameplay.

ED has a massive gathering of older players that want to get away from all current multiplayer disasters... but, a matchmaking pvp mode will not effect the lonesome road, by disagreeing with multilayer aspects, you are only limiting Ed's potential!

Hope I'm making sense here ;)

One Love,
Grinchy

An arena mode with a leader boards for PvP players to measure their skills in a controlled environment would be fantastic.

People opposed to PvP can simply ignore it as it won't influence their play style one bit.

Yeah, except for all the "balance" crusaders whinning on the forums. How about NO.

I see no need for balancing... it's team based pvp. I put it to you sir that 5vipers could beat 5 anacondas. I did it 1v1 in a sidey.
Have you never heard it's the pilot not the ship ;)

There will always be whiners, let them whine away.

The true colors of this very mature community are revealed with the results.
Yes - 2
No - 11

A feature that would not effect "open / solo" play at all is an abomination and must not be in the game!


Selfish old men sat at home in there pants... am i wrong?

I prefer the living world with meaning player-to-player interactions, be it PvP combat about bounties or cargo or co-operation of some kind.

The separate mode for PvP... nah, I don't think it'll benefit the game.

There exists a lot of irrational hate against anything competitive or PvP multi-player on these forums. As this poll shows, it goes so far that the haters oppose even a PvP arena mode that doesn't impact their play style in the slightest. Basically, a cheap knee-jerk reaction to compensate their bitterness.

Yes if they work it in to the lore correctly. you could have a nav point set aside and a station with a bulletin mission near by where you take on the match making. A system wide tournament sponsored on galnet etc

What? An arena would only help to balance ships and load outs better. Are you against balance?

I'm against balance. Thats one of the negatives of MP. Having to balance it.

If your ship costs 50k and mine cost 50M it should work like its 1000 times worse.

The feature would take time to implement and debug - time better spent getting the game released.

Yes, to answer your question.

But such an arena would also provide a controlled environment to test out new ships and upgrades by the community to give feedback to FDEV. This would benefit even the strict PvE players.

Set it up yourself. Right now it's a bit awkward but further down the road you can have multiple ships and have one set aside for arena combat. Start an underground group and find places to meet and duel.

There is too much work to be done to bother with things that aren't popular with the core demographic of the game. As planned features are implemented setting up your own events will get easier.

I'd much rather they carry on with their schedule, fix coms and grouping and get multiple craft integrated so that you can set it up yourself if you wish.

I really don't think it's a bad idea but, it would go against everything David has said about Pvp and his "goal" for the last couple years.

An arena, as a separate game, would be better IMO. Best way I can explain it would be that it conflicts with the "spirit" of the game and David's vision.

It would also be like asking for an open world PvE be added to call of duty.

I was actually envisioning an arena mode, so I agree to that.
