3 v 3 pvp? E3?.

ozgod22_eso✭✭✭It's just an option if it goes through. People who like RvR pvp will stay with Cyrodiil, people who want arena deathmatch will queue for this.
One thing's for sure - the amount of QQ about class balance on these forums will go up exponentially if they do that. Prepare for endless moaning from butthurt bads who got owned in arena and come here crying for abilities to be nerfed.0 -

People who likes RvR will quit immediatly, people who likes arenas will quit after a couple of months... enjoy a dead game.

This is how you know the game is dying, the devs pull this *** out to try and save some subs. All it will do is put the final nail in the coffin.0 -

Lowbei✭✭✭✭✭lol at wow scrubs complaining about arenas because they couldnt compete.
4v4 arenas are coming, but dont worry, nobody is making you participate.

Kingslayer✭✭✭Details are sketchy and so are the images i would love more info on this now that the puss in boots is out of the bag so to speak. Is this the pvp imperial dungeon we have heard about?. Hmm one wonders, and if it is even 3 v 3. The reddit poster didn't seem to talk to anyone from Zos so we can't be sure. 3 v 3 is not the best way to go though.0

lol dont cry because i said something you dont like.
my people came here for competition, and found none. the one or two gvg fights we found lasted only about 30 seconds vs the highest ranked group on the server, thus we farm bads while waiting for competition. arenas will help bring this competition, thus, im looking forward to arenas.

So you admittedly dont have any skill in pvp, are only here to change the game for the worse, because you are no good at AvA (real pvp), go back to WoW. Oh wait they drove you out.Edited by ZOS_UlyssesW on 11 June 2014 18:341 -
Aren't we assuming too much? Maybe they just wanted to showcase the game's combat in a more controlled lag-free environment.1 -

HippieTheGreat✭✭✭So wait, they said earlier they were focusing PvP into Cyrodill. What happened? And why are you working on this before you add in the Justice System, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood damnit?!0 -

✭I wonder what the incentive for Arena would be...I hope it's not gear, and just for achievements/bragging rights.0 -
Sixunder✭I for one welcome more PvP content. This does not equate into a nail and coffin. Hilarious that people think that ZOS adding small avoidable content actually hurts their stance in the market. If anything, it adds value.
If they are forced to balance on a smaller scale, better balance will result. Nerfing of AOE damage is a pretty solid example of AvA balancing at its worst. If PvP in AvA is truly "Epic", something like this wouldn't even be considered. People should know by now how to move out of fire, or learn.
I think they should do a medium scale arena. Lets say: 10v10 or 5v5 minimum. The skills utilized in said environment will translate greatly into AvA. Currently AvA consists of massive lag, ranged AOE dumps and chaos. No skill, poor organization and zerg crashing into zerg.1 -
Lowbei✭✭✭✭✭the best implementation is one gvg allowed every 24 hours, as to not draw action away from cyrodiil, and making each match mean more to the participants since its only once a day.

yelloweyedemon✭✭✭You guys are unbelivable! I never expect optimist on the forums of any MMO (at least not the last 5 years), but this forum takes the cake. The game itself is not even 2 months old, and people acting like it's the end of the world, where the devs and managing company have abandoned the game and do not care anymore.
You guys cry and say the game needs some sort of small scale pvp / arena. Now that some pics have been leaked, you say " oh great, a wow kind of arena"

Maybe they can give it context in Cyrodiil.
Have the battleground sign up NPC located in the Cyrodiil cities (Bruma, etc.) around the map. This would also promote combat in Cyrodiil as people could fight while signing up/while waiting on their match to begin.
When two teams from enemy factions sign up they are queued in.
They could have an AvA sign up option and an AvAvA sign up option.
The battleground could be the cities, where the two teams would fight to hold a central area for the match.
Team "wins control" over the city(strictly symbolic to decide the match winner); winning team gets alliance points for use in Cyrodiil.I'm talking out of my ass, I have no idea how they plan to implement arenas or battlegrounds in game, if they do."If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.

Wolfahm✭✭✭O good lets scare off even more of the population to try and keep the remaining 5 tools from going back to wow.. because you can hold the wow players attention for more then 5 mins with anything other then the cancer of mmos. 3 shield DKs vs 3 shield DKs anyone?

Sixunder✭Under the guise of an arena system. 3 shield DKs vs 3 shield DKs would than get nerfed =/ Small scale would add the much needed PvP balance.

Lowbei✭✭✭✭✭competitive games have arenas, get over it, and many games had arenas before wow.
if you cannot compete, dont participate in arenas.1 -
Kingslayer✭✭✭Lets see what it brings, At least its done early and not when the game is already dead in the water.0

Lowbei✭✭✭✭✭i just hope that of the masses of bads, that at least a few decent groups emerge from the arenas.
eso needs competition1 -

Nope... all this would lead to is people sitting afk at the NPC taking up space for those that would engauge in PVP inside Cyrodiil.
Good News: I guess the population would look high on campaigns...
Bad News: The campaign itself is just full of afk Queing players...
WOW, this sounds just like World Of Warcaft with battle masters.... /facepalmEdited by Jade_Knightblazerb14_ESO on 11 June 2014 19:200
