I would like a new game mode. It could be called "arena" (perhaps to imitate fighting for someone's entertainment, or for a corp to test a new players ability more easily if they lack sp) . In this game mode all advanced, prototype, and officer gear is banned to help keep from having a clear winner. A game mode with normal sp gain but half isk rewards. This will give new players a safer place to get better(with less reward), experienced players a place to relax, or practice with new weapons for cheap. If this is limited to one game mode, which I don't think it should be, it should be domination or skirmish.

This is actually a good idea, and a way to make up for the pitiful battle academy. Plus it would be fun to 1v1 in MLT/STD gear. But what about proficiency skills?

What about them? All passive skills have been earned. I won't suggest they be taken away. However I do think matchmaking should be in effect for these matches so they are fairly evenly matched.

I'm just sayin, even if I use basic gear I still have proficiency lvl. 5 on my mass drivers. That's slightly more damage than the Freedom Mass driver when I use the basic

The main point is that two medium suits arnt 400 hit points apart. You can't make as much money here so that is the only thing to discourage you from stomping these players. It would still make a better place for people who are being stomped currently though and that is what I'm asking for. Better.

I've been around these forums for long enough to know they will make a point of not responding if you specifically ask for them to. They do their best to read EVERY forum post ... the ones they are likely to skip over are the ones with titles like this one.

It's just that some players (looking at you Nyain San) will insta-abuse this ASAP. But sadly i've become so good with MDs that even a basic one would make me stomp people. Kinda like Victor from Buso-Renkin.

You should read it. Not a bad request. Well I've read it ... and it's nothing new. We've been asking for a long time for improvements to matchmaking and had dev responses to threads talking about things like limiting gear in highsec battles and other stuff for new players to cut their teeth like PVE and 'shooting range' to try out weapons etc. They're pretty busy with the vehicle changes at the moment, but I'm sure NPE is now very high on their to do list since new player retention is almost non existent. After they've got the basics of vehicles done and while they flesh them out and balance them to higher tiers, I don't doubt they'll be working on making matches outside of the acadamy better balanced in some way. Threads that have content and discussion deserve dev time ... yours just says 'basic gear battle mode' and is followed by a couple of people agreeing and several pages of you just saying 'bump. Nothing to see here CCP ... End Thread ... Lock ... Good Night ... o7
Ecshon Autorez Solaris Space Marines 99	Posted - 2013.10.27 00:16:00 - [84] - Quote Unlike some people, I don't bump threads pointlessly, but since your doing it for me, might as well post a link to a thread I think needs more attention. HOORAY FOR USING PERSISTENT PEOPLE OT ADVERTISE MY THREAD! [New Game Mode] (PVE) Planetary Anomalies And you do understand that they are intentionally ignoring you because of your behavior, right? Text Grant wrote: Yeah. I was half hoping to get it locked. At least then I'd know they read it. It's so annoying having no clue where they stand on anything It's also annoying when one person pushes all the other threads back because they sit there bumping. Other threads have been made to ask for something and more people agreed that it was a good idea than in this thread, but they didn't start spamming just because a Dev didn't take time to make a post. If a Dev says "Ya this looks good." or "We'll work on it." then they've committed to it, if whatever it is doesn't happen people will hold it against them, so they need to be careful about that stuff. If a Dev says yes to an idea that looks good at first but later turns out to be horrible or something happens and they scrap it then everyone'll complain, saying they lied. If a Dev, GM, or CPM posts in here, they probably won't even read your posts, but just so that you'll go "Oh, they posted." and stop bumping.
WASTED MERC The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 30	Posted - 2013.10.30 15:03:00 - [85] - Quote If he stops bumping others him or others will have to start making new threads Then you'll say dont make new threads use search So they use search and find this thread and bump it Then you'll say, don't reserect old threads ??? Use search to find an old thread you shouldn't reserect so you start a new thread only to be told to search for old threads, arnt we going in circles?

Discuss idea, suggest possible methods of implementation and their benefit, possible detriments that should be accounted for, etc. A paragraph saying "We should have a mode that limits tiers" isn't really helpful beyond stating the obvious, and isn't constructive feedback. On the note of "Tons of people have said they want it" Sure, it's true. Tons of people want PVE, and tons of people want the SP rollover system. Notice we don't have those yet, either :( CCP's in a position where they have to pick and choose what to add and what to put on the backburner. Hopefully there will be some nice news coming out in the near future though. wink
