"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Ancient Egypt
I was thinking more like something of a Desert with Egyptian enemies and Egyptian costumes and of course, PYRAMIDS!
My reasons why:
1. It is something that is easy to make. (As compared to another full building packed zone, right?) I have an understanding that you'd have to start from scratch pretty much, but I think it would have a great impact on players.
2. Egyptian costumes have been around for a LONG time. I have seen them since the january after the game came out. Barely anyone uses them because of a lack of interest.
3. PYRAMIDS! That's be dope! There would be steps and a badge at the top. This could be a huge pyramid. Like really, it'd be huge. Not a small replica crap that is the size of a mansion. I mean a HUGE (pause) FREAKING (pause) PYRAMID.
4. If it is a desert, players with Superspeed as a travel power wouldn't be left in a bad position when compared to those who can jump around buildings. Ever done a Hero Respec Trial and tried to maneuver in the Terra Volta zone? It's not happening. Grandville is pretty difficult, too.
5. Zone Hazards! Not to make Super speed a thing for those of best interest, random spots in the zone would be quicksand in the desert. Noooo, you won't get sucked down... It'll just slow you and lower your defense. Sort of like [Quicksand] from the Earth Controller/ Dominator powersets.
6. Put a TF/SF in there! LOL. Around the Contact there will be a "No fighting area" so ppl don't freak out and get ganked trying start up a TF.
7. (Level range is something the OP discusses.) Make it a lower level PvP zone if you like, I think perhaps around the level of Siren's Call. Maybe an extended level range. 30-50? Hellll yea! That seems unfair to some but it isn't like pvp is unfair to those people anyway, already. I dunno about this idea though. I think it needs alot of work. 25-35 is fine with me.
8. PvP Most Wanted Bounty. Don't put this in the zone. Siren's Call exclusive only please. I KNOW, IT'D ROCK, but please try to keep an open mind. I'm not dissing the Bounty system.
9. Zone interaction. NPCs for some people who'd like to do contact missions. Perhaps find a way to make contacts on the side players zone in at so that there is little anger issues on ppl getting beat up trying to talk to contacts. The TF/SF contact is an exception. Place him/her/it on top of a smaller pyramid.
10. Um... Feel free to add in/remove your own ideas, DEVs. I'm just offering a suggestion I have wanted since I joined the game since the January after CoH was released (This is my girlfriend's account.) People can make REALLY great costumes relating to Ancient Egypt. Give it a thought. This is something I would personally love to see that many have not considered as an option.
The Moon, a distant planet, space stations, these ideas seem a bit overplayed (I'm one to judge, right? Haha!) If you have any questions about my ideas feel free to PM me. I've been working on an AE story arc that has yet to get published relating to Egyptians. It's pretty cool so far. Archery, Trick Arrow, Dual Blades, Katana... It gets pretty interesting once I throw costume/weapon options into those powersets.

Even though this sounds like a fantastic idea, it'll never happen. If they won't revert the current zones to this, I doubt they will make a new zone to do it.

They need to make a pvp zone thats pre i13. I would probably spend most of my time there.

this, but not just 1 zone, all of them and arena too.
jus think if they wanna compete with all the new superhero MMOs they might wanna cater for all pvpers, arena has the options for change it would not be too hard to create a zone with no dr or ts, n those who dont like it stil have RV....most of all tho a lvl 50 FFA zone would b awesome....

Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
well if u like dr fight in rv or wb...i prefer fighting people at thier full potential
great idea vince, but it wont happen. They have already stated that they are not going back to pre i-13 pvp. which is weird because they give all the buttons in arena to go back to pre-13 except for base resist.
Well, we saw what happend when devs gave us DR off button...this zone would turn into exact same thing: bunch of stalkers with KB...:/ I personaly don't enjoy much DR off matches and when Heal Decay option hits live i won't do any...

How about in RV when the last person takes over a Pill Box an option window opens and you get to choose what to turn on or off in the zone (DR, Heal Decay, TS, PvP resist, etc...). It will give the pillbox a better reason to be in the zone.

Yeah we don't want an more ideas on how to make PvP not suck butt. I for one would hate to see anything happen that would probably bring back a few players. We should all just shut up and try to play whatever mess the devs come up with.

In all honesty someone would be hardpressed to make pvp worse than Castle did even if they were trying to screw it up.
While not a new suggestion, I did recently post a thread suggesting that they Add Arena Terminals in PvP Zone Hospitals. That would take care of the folks interested in dueling or other (larger) fair fights, and be a good QoL change.
I seriously doubt we'll ever see a no TS pvp zone, as that really screws over the melee classes, and to-date we just keep seeing increases in the amount of suppression.
I do think that we need another lvl 50 zone, and it needs to be a FFA that allows cross-faction teaming.
As the OP suggested, the new zone should have an improved "safe-zone" area that is truly safe, but does not allow for retreats (i.e., you can't go back to safe zone once you leave
unless you die)
a long time ago I suggested a new pvp zone modeled after Siren's Call (since it's the best designed of the current zones) that basically does all of this stuff. To save precious development time, they could just put a slightly different skin on the existing zone and call it "Siren's Call 2020" or something like that, and you would zone it at the same entrance as the current Siren's (so you would have the option of choosing Siren's Call or Siren's Call 2020). Make a few modifications to the safe zone, bump the level up to 50, allow cross-faction teaming, and your set.
Anyway, here's to pipe dreams...
Seems like a pre I13 zone would take care of alot of complaints. Not that I was around pre I13.

I think that a zone with I12 suppression rules would work just fine, with the addition of unresisted suppression when hit by a melee attack.

I think that all this la-dee-freakin-da everyone is equal and special in PvP zones if a bunch of poppycock! Give me my zone with no DR, no damn TS, no Heal Decay, and for the love of GOD bring back how holds work! "IF" they do this I will almost guaranty that RV will not be used at all if only for Farming pill boxes.
P.S.
Devs even if you don't change PvP back to my beloved days of old, please, please just stop messing with it. It's getting really annoying to finish specing my characters into their IO sets, and then having to go and change them ever time a new issue comes out! Thank you..and I think someone should Siege the "Castle"....idiot.

i propose a new pvp zone.....
alot of people like dr alot of people dont...we have rv with dr....heres my idea
cimeroa lvl 35-50 pvp zone, no Dr or ts, all toons fight at full power at full speed
the map, a huge collosseum
now the interesting part
have the fighing area of the collosseum as ffa like WB and have the seating area like the hospital, safe zone for those who want to watch the fights to stop people running back n forth from the safe zone like they do in WB,...the enterance to the zone is in the safe zone seating arena, once u leave it u cant be safe until u die again....
one more part i thought would be nice, an option for people who like to duel, in the arena u can challenge someone, u oth become phased for the duel, that way people can duel without bein interupted by people who want ffa, once one falls in the duel the phase is over
so people who want FFA are happy, those who want to duel are happy, heros can fight heros, vills vs vills, n those who like DR can go to rv
