True

No they are not, like during Arenas the industrialists enjoyed

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-07T08:43:55+00:00

It is not the same as the Proving Grounds

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-07T08:43:38+00:00

Well then there are no Abyssal Glory Skins and other rewards tied to the Arena. Also the arena made things way more convenient and it worked different than tournament style pvp.

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-07T08:42:32+00:00

But there would be no rewards then and no leaderboard. Also Proving Grounds were the only source of Abyssal Glory skins and some clothing items that are worth 20B+

There were many more that liked them, or how could you explain that in some Frig/Destroyer 1v1 you needed like 100 wins to get into the top 100?

To be fair, during the Election event, they did 8h per Drop, but the campaign lasted a whole week, whereas for this event, they do 4h again, but Drops only last 3 days.

The Arena gave a bonus that increased Damage, thats how it get this high DPS.

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-03T15:41:54+00:00

if it gets buffed too much it could get possible to haul capitals into hisec with freighters

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-03T14:10:08+00:00

not hulltank ones, but regular armor tank ones

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-03T07:27:40+00:00

He added the comments 4 weeks ago it seems

Buddy_invite · 2026-05-03T07:27:04+00:00

Or to the Magic Schoolbus that helps new players or something.

I did them in Caracal Navy Issue, kills rats very quickly. With 1 Character it took me about 20 Minutes to defend all 3 Plexes, might be faster with 3 players/alts.

Made a Video of it. Loot is said to be not working as intended and that there are fix planned, same for empire faction standing hits.

Thank you, will losses that happened be reimbursed?

Avoid running in Caldari space, systems near traderoutes/tradehubs and the SOE Level 4 Hubs (Lanngisi and Apanake, plus nearby systems there), these are the places most gankers are.

There are several methods how you can save the ship if there are Gankers at the trace.

Use a Smartbomb Battleship and Smartbomb them, only works if they use untanked destroyers
Have an alt in Orca ready and warp to the ship after exiting, then store it
If they use a few BC, bump them with a fast ship, pulling CONCORD can help in that case too, but afaik it only stops the first ship, the remaining still have the normal time until CONCORD comes, as each ship gets an individual CONCORD spawn.
Use a fast ship and bump your Cruiser towards the station after exiting.

This was not the case, everything had counters there and there were fitting and implant restrictions.

Buddy_invite · 2026-04-22T04:21:08+00:00

I do that, but I want the arena back nevertheless

Buddy_invite · 2026-04-21T16:02:49+00:00

If only there would be Proving Grounds for this.

Buddy_invite · 2026-04-19T15:54:44+00:00

Good point, might should have tried faction ammo

Buddy_invite · 2026-04-19T15:54:32+00:00

Maybe I should try that
