(desperate search of a PvP system ) Please Developers - improve PvP

[Ghostickles]

those two items are the ones a lot of other players are interested in.
if you play in open you WANT to see other players (why else would you be there? the coffee?) so you want it to be a tool to find players, but not directly single any one out, showing systems with player traffic does this without pointing directly at people.
EDIT: a system could show player traffic, but have no players in it, as they merely 'passed through'.
Showing claims means there is combat potential, but that it may have happened (hence claim) so again, maybe nothing is happening.
Also Combat Zones should be a public service message through any known systems, safety first.

Yeah, I was holding out for the supermodel in the Porsche, myself and checked under my Christmas tree and nope--not there and boy has it made me grumpy.

Had a really good rant going, but cut it because it really didn't belong here--I'll post it in the Open/Group/Solo megathread where it belongs.

You miss the question "why open play", but it doesn't matter, i'm a bit joking.
But, like is now the game, and considering your opinion, if you were a true hardcore pvper you would like atleast a way to do pvp when and where you want, without the task of a private group, but just a place where to shoot someone, for many reasons (you want to take a brek from other activties, you don't have too much time but want to shoot someone (playing Elite ofc), maybe to test a fit).
I bet that, if you were a true hardcore pvper and i can bet if you were a true harcore pvper you would much more
It's just my opinion
Ah, for the records, i am not a true hardcore pvper. i am a player who loves ED and would to improve his experience... like you i guess

If I was a "true hardcore pvper" I'd be playing a game that allows even fights that rely more on tactics than who brings more people. True "hardcore PVPers" probably wouldn't look at this game as serious competition, there are other games that allow that.

Oh, and what the hell is a 'true hardcore PVPer'? Somebody who played tons of UT, Quake, COD4, WoW Arena, Warhammer, Aion, Guild Wars 2, CS 1.6, HL2 Mods, SOCOM 2, or Halo? I guess that may be me then, weird. But I'm not looking for that game here, I would be an idiot to look for "true hardcore PVP" in a game that doesn't even have a way to set it up and the balance can be thrown off immediately by sheer numbers. That's just me though, I guess what you're looking for is "true hardcore player killers" where you can just jump in with a A class Viper and hopefully take out some Type 6's ...

telme pls whats the problem for you with a zone where Pvp´lers can go and have fun ?
do we all have to trade like you dude ?

For me creating a 'Zone' solely for PvP just doesn't sit well in the game Lore, as many others say create a group and make your own zone, hell, do it in Open if you like .. pick a system advertise it on these and other forums and you and everyone else who want a so called PvP zone will have what they desire .. I just don't want FD to introduce a PvP zone it reeks of CoD and BF and it isn't what I and many others see this game as ... it is not a PvP orientated game, sure it's there and yes it is a feature, but ELITE will never be a pure PvP game and nor should it be .. So like I said, Pick a system, advertise it as a PvP zone on the forums and have at it .. then people will still be able to visit that system if they wish knowing that it is a PvP zone and be able to Opt out of the PvP by switching to solo or group .. everyone wins ..

Oh and I don't just trade, I play the game in whatever way takes my fancy .. mainly bounty hunting (but I don't have the burning desire that some have to only go PvP .. I will only attack players for in game reasons)




...dude

Perhaps FD could carry on making the game for the vast majority of players and once this is done, start making niche instances for PvP?

I'm fine with that. But the problem lies when is it 'done'. They have so many hopes and aspirations and (unfortunately) "PVP Balancing" they want to do that that time may never come.
