I think that only happens when in the pvp zone .they do get a lot. Differently BH kills you go up. But you set it on a separate message log ( like chat) that people can able to show it on the screen.

Maybe place an NPC in there to explain what the place is. The room behind the bar in Eisley is completely empty..... some arcade cabinets would spice up the place lol Historical reactions: Like × 1

These first three suggestions are pretty easy/uncontroversial wins: The queue entry system absolutely sucks, constantly leaving people behind. Recommend switching it to where the only the group leader gets the invitation, and will therefore bring the entire group in. Or even some other system entirely if its easier. People accidently hit fast travel to Eisley/Residences often, and there's no way back in. Block these abilities from working inside battlefields. Give the winners +5 additional battlefield tokens, slightly incentivizing objective play. The built in objectives are far more dynamic and varied than the same old team slayer we do in every other PvP settings. Allow fewer than 4 players on each side (maybe even as few as 1v1) This second set of suggestions are perhaps a little more aligned to my personal vision and might be a bit controversial, but hear me out: Make fights self-balancing. The most memorable and fun PvP are those close matches. Every time someone clones (revives wouldn't count), give them a stacking buff of +5% damage output and +1000 armor "You'll Pay For That". Buffs clear when leaving the battlefield. If self-balancing ends up being too difficult, might suggest reducing the duration to 10 minutes to allow groups to re-balance, or counter before becoming too demoralized in a one-sided contest. Allow additional players to enter a battlefield in progress if they are in equal numbers. Allow unequal team sizes. If possible, probably constrain to a difference of +/- 2 players. Battlefields are awesome, some of the best experiences in PvP have been in battlefields and I fully support efforts to modernize the system in anyway possible. Cris, thanks for putting this up. As always great ideas and suggestions! You brought up some great points and centered on some areas of frustration in the current system. (Especially, fast traveling ffs..I did it tonight.) Fully Support These Core Fixes you suggested. Group queue system - ancient method is trash we all agree. I suggest tying each of the battlefield instances to an NPC each person in each group can radial to enter. (Like Kash instance master Chewbacca.) times out after 10 minutes and flags the winning team. Perhaps set these up in a PvP battle themed city or location. there can be the PvP vendors, fight pit, training area etc, rebel / imperial / mando themed. Disable fast travel while in BF’s 100% Wins should be rewarding, incentivize objective play. - PvP themed tokens for PvP centric gear. (PvP only stat mods not affecting pve content) More Suggestions to Elevate Battlefield Gameplay: Gameplay Mechanics & Flow Dynamic Spawns Based on Objective Control Let teams control forward spawn points when they capture objectives. This adds a tactical layer and rewards map control without needing full domination. Secondary Battlefield Objectives Add side objectives like temporary damage boosts, turret controls, or med stations. These create more strategic choices and give solo players meaningful roles. Hell, drop some AT-ST’s from Hoth for players to use. Quality of Life Enhancements Requeue Option After Match* * At the end of a match, give players a quick “Requeue” button so they can jump into the next game without having to leave, requeue, and reorganize. Solo/Duo Queue Preference Let players opt into solo/duo-only queues to avoid being stomped by premade 4-stacks, encouraging more casual participation. Cosmetic & Progression Rewards Unique Battlefield Armor Skins or Titles Battlefield-themed gear, capes, or visual badges would give players visible status to show off their investment and skill. Even recolors would work. Battlefield Token Vendor Rotation Add a biweekly or monthly token shop rotation with cosmetics, rare schematics, or utility items to keep players checking back in. Legacy Kill Tracker or Titles Introduce legacy achievements like “Battlefield Veteran” or “1000 Kills in PvP” that give long-term players bragging rights. Immersion & Theme Enhancements Weather/Time Variance Per Map Add atmospheric effects, nighttime battles, sandstorms, or light rain to keep repeat playthroughs feeling fresh without new maps. Faction-based Objectives/Dialogue Include faction-specific VO lines or objectives (“Capture the Rebel outpost!” vs “Defend the Imperial bunker!”) for added immersion. Battlefield Missions or Daily Quests Let players pick up missions like “Win 3 matches” or “Get 10 captures,” which reward tokens, XP, or special gear. Love all the great work. Keep it up!

Right, post: 2833, member: 909 wrote: Permanent buff stripping has been decidedly against the general philosophy Evolve is striving for, any mechanic like that is unlikely. As for a temporary buff strip, such a mechanic would be pointless with so many buffs today and so would not really event be viable to explore, so I would argue this change would make such a mechanic even existing feasible Yes, Purge was removed for PvP, so no worries there It does! I almost linked to it as a sister suggestion well in this case, I don't see any issues with combining them, All the medic buffs down to 1, and all the officer buffs down to 1 would be a good start.

Sweeeeet! It's a small change that adds up over time into a big win - Thank you guys!

As I understand it, the key aspects of this change are: Players can continue to watch or listen to an entertainer as usual to receive time ticks. When doing so, the Inspire menu is triggered, for the players to select their desired buff. Entertainers will have the option to set a flat cover charge for any buffs they provide. The automatic buff bot droid will be relocated inside the cantina. Historical reactions: Like × 1

This is a great idea, especially for new players trying out our server.

a 4th row may be just additional entries similar to the third and second rows going horizontal. Vertical would require a bit more code work and there's a few mmos that have 4 rows horizontally so i dont mind it.

I agree 100% in having inactive citizens house Zoning Violations timeline extended. 90 +1 days is just too short. Plus, if said citizen(s) take a break for whatever reason, burnout, trying out other games etc, at least they know they have a house and city and a server Evolve to return to, that is still intact. It is when they don't have maintenance prepaid on housing then its different. I also feel Mayor's should have packup ability as well, if there is need for that inactive player or house to be relocated for city layouts and expansions. Thanks for reading this.

The icon for Exhaustion (Stasis recourse) is currently the same as the new-ish icon for anti-heal immunity: [image: 427-62c60c8dd090-1716027458014.png] Suggest using a unique icon instead, so you can discern the difference between the two. Perhaps this one as it is not associated with any buff or debuff as far as I know: [image: 428-7aa0db2bce68-1716027599530.png] I believe the string name for this icon is: "me_rv_pvp_area"

Thats a great point, something that occurred to me shortly after as well. God, the penalty for death is so low its crazy to me the lengths people will go to avoid a trip to the cloner. But I guess it comes down to the fact that PvP can become fiercely competitive whether I like it or not, and we have to anticipate that mentality. However, I think it will really limit it's utility to make it directly/conventionally cleansable. At the risk of complicating it, maybe it could start clearing off like 1 stack every 3 seconds when you /sit (which can only be done out of combat)? That way you're best option is to stay put and rest as much as possible before the next fight instead of leaving the area to wait out a timer. But then again, maybe people would just ITV to safety to sit and clear in that case too. I might have to give up on the idea of an enduring effect between fights to avoid re-creating the old problems again. A lower duration like 60 seconds may be the simplest approach then. 3% @ 25 stacks seems plausible as well. That would take 3 minutes in a 1v1.
