Guild Wars 2

I think something that I’ve never seen in a game which would be amazing and I’m certain everyone would love it, would be if there were tournaments held where people could show up with their character and sit in the stands and even place bets on who was going to win and watch fights in spectator mode… then when the guy you bet on wins you get a ticket to get paid. Also putting in cheering or maybe things in the Black Lion Trading Company you could buy to support the contestants… noise blowers, big foam hands, different cheers, a rose you could throw into the arena… it would be great!

stay of the medicine son lol GVG then we talkin :P

I think a colliseum arena would be pretty fun. There would need to be a lot of work put into this, but it would definitely create an arena to showcase a person’s skills for others to observe. Maybe even have different levels of arenas, so people with different skill levels can be pitted against others of a similar category. Also, this could create a tier set so people can win their way into the high level colliseum, where prize matches could take place.

Just think, you enter an arena filled with NPCs and players cheering wildly. Your opponent stares you down from across the arena. There is a strange calmness that comes over you while you patiently await the match to start. And then the match starts—the sand shifts beneath your feet as you rush toward your opponent. The cheers of the crowd are a dull roar while you expertly time your dodges, cc your opponent, and begin to whittle away his life.

Somehow, he manages to break away and gain some distance from you. One look in his eyes confirms what you felt at the beginning of the match—your opponent knows he is outmatched. You smile to yourself as you know exactly what moves to execute for the kill.

A few short minutes later, you find yourself over your opponents downed form, ready to execute the finishing blow. You give pause to take in the moment—your glorifying moment of triumph over this foe. It is then you take notice that the crowd has changed in its dynamic. No longer are there a cacophony of voices, mixed with cheering, whistles, and bells. Rather, the crowd has become unified in a single chant declaring, “Noob, noob, noob!”.

With a single keystroke, you end the poor noob’s life as this match has proven you the victor. The glory is yours for the moment. But a question sits at the back of your mind. This match was your victory. Will there be a match in your future where the crowd will declare you as the noob…?

The arena is certainly an interesting concept…and one I think I would enjoy!

so……. basically spectator mode with 1v1s.. ?
could be really easy to implement..you could even scrap the Queen’s jubilee coding to do it.
