Denied [All Main Servers Suggestion] Suggestion to add a better PVP arena

i really like this idea. It's something different on ECC that can be used to attract to a newer and wider player base. +1 please make this happen

 

This seems a lot cooler than sgs (no offence or anything) but i think a lot more people would join this and play this on a regular basis. Also the server could be seen as a pvp server drawing in more players that want to join to just pvp.
+1!

 

+1 I think this is a good idea and would add a new great game mode to ECC. Countless times I have seen new builder in global ask "is there pvp?" and the response is usually "we have /sgs but no one really plays it". If we can create a new game mode like this I feel like it would revive the ECC PvP community and would also add some freshness to the server. As well as that it would suit the needs of the people that join the server just for the PvP.

 

Always seeing builders join and wanting to pvp then not enjoying (or not being patient enough for) SG. +1

edit: Also, this would make it way easier to jump in somewhere when new player wants to pvp, kill them, and head back to skyblock. Seems like more fun than waiting 10min for SG to start.

 

+1

Usually, I wouldn't +1 a suggestion about PvP as it really isn't my cup of tea and the vast majority of the time they are denied, however I think this suggestion is very good and I'd love to see it introduced.

As others have said before me, every day we must tell between 10-30 users who come online asking for PvP that we only really have SG and that it isn't used and you have to wait 10 minutes or more for it to start. More often than not, they log off and never come back. I've asked a few people where they've got the idea that we're a PvP server from and many have said it's on our adverts. If this is the case, then we should provide somewhere that is PvP that players can use.

Now, I'm aware that Andrew doesn't care for PvP at all (and to be honest, nor do I) however when we lose players on a regular basis because we advertise something that we really don't do I think something should be done and I believe that this is a great idea.

We could utilise the current /warp pvp area (maybe spruce it up a bit if needed). The one thing that I would be against on this suggestion is being able to buy kits. I think that should be left for SG, and we have /warp pvp as a free to play (and free to win) area. Have the 3 kits Eldruin suggested (or more) but don't have any USD kits as this just puts people off (claiming it's P2W). As a non-PvP'er, I'd be more inclined to play if I knew everyone had access to the same kits.

The suggestion could even be taken one step further and we could blend the SG prestige with this. The requirement could simply be changed from a single SG tournament to either the winner of the SG tournament or by achieving 1000 kills (arbitrary number) in /warp pvp.

The players we'd gain and the potentially for making the PvP prestige better surely make this suggestion a very good one to implement.

 

+1 I think this would be worth the time to develop and implement. We could potentially gain a lot of new players based on this alone, I think (purely because of how many we seem to lose because we really don't have something like this), and hell maybe some of the straight PVP-ers would even eventually join the economy side too

I like Taylors suggestion as well, about maybe merging this idea with SG prestige.

 

+1 Anything is an improvement to the current pay to win “pvp”

 

+1 I always get killed by@edrandom in sg so kitpvp is good

 

There are no plans to add significant PvP game modes to ECC at this time.

Perhaps in the future we will revisit the PvP situation, at this time however this is not something that has ever grown to popularity on ECC and is not an area of Minecraft I'm looking to get into. This suggestion is basically asking for an entire new game mode / custom project, and it's something I'm not looking to do right now.
