Guild Wars 2

I propose an Arena that offers 1 vs ALL! You start out in a cell as do the other 19 players, shaped in a dome/circle type of arena. The arena would be about twice the size of the Lions Arch statue center. When the gates open, everyone is on there own. You get 3 lives/respawns and the person who makes it to the end wins! Maybe a first , second and third prize chests or even up to 5th place. King of the hill style. No Red or Blue teams. Just straight up PvP.

Thoughts?

No.

On second thought…

No.

I can see the dominance of the “wait in respawn until elite is off cooldown” strategy now.
If elites were different (smaller cooldowns / less overwhelmingly powerful) then maybe it could be fun.

Also; what about the fact that fight dynamics between 2+ people are weird. If two people get downed then the third person will probably get targeted by both players and eventually one of the first two will rally and defeat the third.

Hmm, the cell’s floor opens every 5 seconds then and forces you out of hiding.

It would make it intense when it gets down to the remaining 3-5 players. Which would be fun.

Create also a small statue in the middle of the room . By channeling for 5 sec activates <<sudden death>> mode . Staring a flame wave from the outside of the stadium to the inside , slowly , expanding 10% of the size of the stadium every 3-5 sec

Edit: Unblocable damage , so Engineers dont benefit from the 2x Elixir S

Nice.

Different arena types with different <<sudden death>> modes. Example, a floating/flying arena with ledges. Or an arena with crumbling ground that breaks with lava.

20 eles walk into an arena….

Hehe i love the loating/flying arena with ledges idea :P

They could simply copy-paste the Mad king Hallowen Tower + create a lot bigger round platforms*** , and let the player fight each other , but in the same time change platform-floors and avoid the <<deadly mist>> :P

Map awereness + pvp skills in 1 mode :P

I’m not really a fan of modes where the only goal is survival. Usually everyone who actually fights loses, while people who stealth/run/hide/heal win.

I am a fan of thinking of new game modes/ideas, though. I like this one, I just don’t think it would play out very well with the current available builds.

GO BUNKER GUARDIAN, GO.

ahem sorry, I mean…

GO BUNKER ELE, GO.

If it’s a closed-off arena, like a pit, the ele would have to through walls to not die from conditions or some such nonsense.

I think the real problem will be the Shadow Refuge Thieves, they’ll just stealth for ages and wait for the right time to pop someone.

Yeah i agrree with u , that survival modes are kinda stupid , but same goes for arenas without healers
Atleast with the Mad King Tower , even if the enemy team powned istantly 1 of ur teamm8s , u wont loose istantly cause u are 4v5 , but instead u have 3 options :
A) lure the meele enemy near the ledge (or pull) and then knockback , making the game 4v4 .
B) try to slow them on the stairs in order the deadly mist to <<eat them alive>>
C) Do the same thing as they > choose a target burst kill > run again and wait for ur cds

And with all that the clock is ticking , creating extra pressure in both teams

Actually, the following could be fun for a couple matches:
2v2 or 3v3
One utility
No elite
Only guardians
Only hammers
Knock each other off the arena. I wouldn’t expect anyone to actually die.

permastealth thieves anyone?

why not 1 v all and the 1 is permanently moa morphed
