Guild Wars 2

Hello, My name is Lucas, and i’ve an idea to discuss with this active community. So what you guys think about PvP arenas? without any objective besides killing the enemys. No teams! ( party if you want to) just messing around, fighting other players. a true and real Arena.

and of course some specs:
-Structured PvP arena or not ( both options would be awesome!)
-Free for all arenas with a limit of players ( 10~?? players each arena)
-2v2,3v3,4v4 arenas
-Spawn inside Arena or Not ( Maybe a CD of 5 seconds after being able to enter arena )
-Can be revived or stay dead inside arena as much as you want to. ( to watch others)

So leave your comments and i would really enjoy to hear your guys feedback about this, and how this could be Important and FUN for players.

Just like hot join right now? Well actually there are objectives…but usually a two mindless zergs of nabs end up fighting each other in the middle of nowere just to get skirmish points and get totally unuseful and ridicolous ranks…..it’s hilarious and sad at the same time. Points at the end of the match and not during it, 5 points for skirmish and NO POINTS for loser team (Nothing, zero, only wasted time)…problem solved, nabs would think twice before playing like rambo wannabes giving a crap about teamwork

Sounds great. Don’t forget a 1v1 dueling feature!

I agree with all suggestions the OP gave. This is desperately needed.

I dont think it should become a core PVP aspect. Anet has stated they want the game to be an e-sport and are focusing on conquest, but adding these type of modes as a fun less serious alternative would be perfect.

A simple ladder system, that progresses on number of kills, either team based or solo would be enough. No need for tournaments ect. It could also be a great opportunity to gain an insight into class balance from a different perspective.

As long as its left as a fun casual PVP environment and skills arent balanced solely around it it would work fine.

Also a possible location is the arena build into the char city. Its not really used for much at all atm and would be great as a PVP instance. There are also areas above for spectators.

Duel hell yeah! we can’t forget about this.
Chaar City would be a perfect place for the Very first Arena!

Well Thought

WoW-style arena are realy the thing this game needs to get players back, they are fast, don’t require much preparation and are more fun then this objective-capture-on-a-kittening-map-that-isn’t-bigger-then-my-room.

Agreed; my spontaneous suggestions:
- 4v4 small random arenas to teach you the basics; 3 ELO based tiers with increasing rewards and access to armor and weapon skins; a limited (4-5) number of highly polished maps; 10 min rounds; reaching, say, glad lvl 3 unlocks…
- 6v6 medium sized team arenas; 20 min rounds; you get access to instanced practice matches and 2 teams per guild (<Guild Name> 1 & 2); the teams rating is the average of the members’ ratings; another 3 average ELO based tiers of competition with more complex maps with separate glad lvls, lvl 6 unlocks…
- 8v8 guild/team arenas; the elite; this is what we balance for; 30 min matches; complex maps; sick skins, not available but wearable in PvE, rivaling the PvE legendaries up for grabs at the top levels of competition; serious monetary rewards in monthly and yearly tournaments to encourage professional teams to get involved and raise the level.

Oh and – stop wasting effort on WvWvW, let it die.
I’m sure there are flaws in this system, but it would be a definite improvement over what we have now.

That’s what we need. Like other topics DO say, harshly.

totally agree!!!!!!!

/agree

without arenas 2v2,3v3 and ranking system the game is not suitable for 90% of the pvp players
