Arena PvP and Dueling

Risingstorm12 · April 2015

Basically the title. I think ESO would profit to have Arena style PvP and Dueling, the ability to make our own PvP instances and have 1v1, 4v4 and up to 8v8 even. This along side with Cyrodiil would be great for the game. Don't get me wrong, i like Cyrodiil, But getting 10v1'd and perm stunned gets old quick, especially when you have to run all the way back to the fight. I am speaking from experience from other games, where there was a Open word PvP element, but there was also queue able PvP Arenas and Assault matches. Cyrodiil could serve as the place where the Arena fighters hang out waiting for the queue to pop and such. On the dueling topic: I believe this would be a wonderful feature to ESO. Having the ability to create our own instance (Or duel in the streets of wherever we are) i believe is a much wanted, And needed, feature. This would be good for: People wanting to practice their skills in a 1v1 situation. Training for PvP in Cyrodiil. Working out new skills and setups. And also help the RP community. Most RPers like to settle conflicts with duels and such. For people who do not believe this would be a good feature due to "Duel invite spams" Include a Feature that allows then to automatically ignore duel invitations.

There have been so many posts begging for this, but quite simply, Zenimax doesn't care. They straight up said IF it happens, it won't be for a long ass time. I think they're idiots for not already having one in game. It would add infinite replay value and give people a way to PvP without lag. But instead we got Dragonstar Arena, a play it once and your done instance. Zenimax, wake up and listen to your player base before you don't have one anymore.

ZOS stated that they have no plans for this.

We all know that what Zenimax says and what Zenimax does are sometimes two different things.

This game needs alot more done to it than some silly arena or duels to make it good.

If they were to add the city of Kvatch in the Colovian Highlands with it's arena, and add a player vs player mode and endless wave survival, that would be so awesome. Also, Oblivion fans would go crazy seeing Kvatch before it was destroyed.

Nope.
Battlegrounds like in DAOC nothing less!

BugCollector · April 2015

A lot of us wants that, but ZOS doesn't care.

TheLaw · April 2015

This can't be asked for enough. ZOS needs to hear us and take action.

This would be a million times better than what we have now. Even PvE players like myself would love it! It would solve all the lag problems on the PvP servers, and (probably) cut down on a lot of the forum whining, too. So why don't we have dueling arenas?

Because ZoS doesn't want them. Why? I don't know, but I can guarantee you they KNOW players want this, because we've been asking for the last year!

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some kind of internal company "politics" at ZoS that is the crux of the problem. Some Vice-President or whatever bet his career on large scale "AvA' style PvP as a key feature of ESO, so adding PvP duels now might be seen as some kind of a failure. Stuff like that is so stupid, but I've seen it everywhere I've worked.

Isn't there a way to call a developer here so they actually answer to us? Is tiring to beg them this for a year now and they still saying "no no no we don't want to split the pvp community, even though all of them are complaining about the same lack of PvP content"

We have a pretty lengthy and in depth post regarding arenas and battlegrounds you should read and give support to if you haven't already. It doesn’t cover dueling but it goes over several ideas on how arenas can be implemented as well as a collection on ZOS's efforts thus far In the replies. It's a lengthy read, but give some support.

Khajiit thinks this a good idea.

Naivefanboi · April 2015

It doesn't matter want ZOS wants, it's the players that keep the game going. What happens if the players get fed up with them about ignoring the entire community? They'll all quit. And ESO will be a total flop. I hope it doesn't come down to that, i've played many games where that has happened.
