Batlegrounds and arenas PvP.

Khyras · April 2015

Getting sick of fighting enemy swarms, every fight is unfair,Give us battlegrounds and arenas or gtfo.

No.

i agree though i wouldnt be nearly so petulant about it. All these people with stockholm syndrome about the lack of PvP features this game have need to take a backseat, there's no reason it wouldnt' be a great thing to have at least Battlegrounds in this game.

Structured PvP is good.

ToRelax · April 2015

I would like Arenas but I do think Battlegrounds could have a negative impact on Cyrodiil. At least structured PvP should not give exclusive gear/consumables as rewards that you don't get in Cyrodiil otherwise.

1 - Battlegrounds/Arena/Justice PvP are not gong to ruin Cyrodil PvP.
2 - If gives you an alternative when there's a long queue
3 - Gives you a break from the Zerg vs. Zerg that is Cyrodil

A little note about #1. If Cyrodil did become empty after Battlegrounds/Arenas were introduced, that simply means that most people favor structured PvP over the lagfest that is Cyrodil.

But I seriously doubt that would happen.. what you would more likely see are groups who prefer playing structured and groups who prefer open map doing what they prefer... This means that people who would stick with Cyrodil are the ones who really enjoy it, with the end result of Cyrodil being MORE competitive...and less laggy.

I prefer open world PVP but I miss structured PVP. I know a lot of people did not like SWTOR but its structured PVP was the funnest. I was a PVP healer in the small server Cho Mai and it was a blast to play. Knowing your class and having good strategy mattered. When I saw a well known player tank in my team, I was happy because I knew I was getting protected. A decent healer and tank working together in SWTOR could made such a difference. Recently, I played Neverwinter PVP in Xbox One and it reminded me of why I enjoyed structured PVP.

Step 1: Add instanced pvp of some team format
Step 2: Add a token system for loot that involves: an instance victory token for pvp/pve group play, + gold/AP (248k ap, 80k gold) for pvp/pve.
Step 3: Make some pvp sets people care about, make some pve sets ppl care about, and set loose the populance to play as the want, your initial branding of the damn game.

Lhorion · April 2015

Battlegrounds/Arena should not give their own loot. So the zerg-fan does not have to cry.
It should be an alternative that gives nearly the same average AP/hour. I know this is not easy to calculate, but if it is too much/too less it can be fixed.

Same loot, same AP, same rank -> Noone has things the other one does not have.

People that likes running around in a zerg and farming small groups and ofc other zergs against this lag can stay in Cyrodil!

People (like me) that loves the pvp mechanica, but love smallscale more than lag-zerg-bigscale can have fun without having any advantages.

Agruments against arena/battleground?

Cyrodil would loose some people? Yes, but it would loose some of the small groups that are just farmed by raids at the moment - so it would not loose any important part (well... solo players and small groups are important for some guys so they can AP fast by farming them, but... no comment).

Tintinabula · April 2015

I loved BGs in RIFT. Capture the flag..short sessions..more small scale skirmishes. My head would explode if they even incorporated that into Imperial City like RIFT did.

Jaxsun · April 2015

-1 for instanced PVP. They should add more objectives to Cyrodiil.

Being able to fight over spawn locations and bridges or supply wagons that spawn randomly and give a bonus to a keep would be cool. They could have a mechanic that requires objectives to be taken in a certain amount or they don't count and if a smaller objective isn't held then you can't take a keep. It would give an incentive for having smaller groups hold prerequisite objectives while larger groups hold/take a keep. You could receive a lot larger amount of AP for the completion that way.

djnapstyb14_ESO · April 2015

4v4 would be fun. Would also be fun to solo progressively stronger bosses in an arena. Im pretty excited about the new content already slated tho, and can stand to wait a few years for more features like these.

Ifthir_ESO · April 2015

funny thing is that I was told that that code is done and could have been in the game months ago

Did your brother's girlfriend's uncle's lover's mom tell you that? Or was it a ZOS employee? Is so, do you have a link?

kevlarto_ESO · April 2015

When it comes to pvp there is no real answer, if ZOS could get some kind of handle on the population imbalance pvp would be a lot more fun, small scale pvp has it's own problems, like pre-mades they are no fun to run across in every other match, either, plus for me the small area's gets boring fast, it all depends on what you like I guess.

I think it was data mined

ZOS just make a 1VS1 Gladiator Arena PVP already, where toons of all level, and all Alliance can go in and watch.

No EXP gain
No AP gain
No Gear Drops
No rewards
Nothing...

Just a title change maybe, PVP CHAMP or something, plus bragging rights on how the entire ESO world witnessed him drink over 9000 potions to kill one person.

Because just admit it, those who are are asking for these PVP just want to feed their ego. Nothing more.

Just give it to them then.

This. Incorporate the BGs and small skirmishes into the overall Cyrodiil alliance war. For instance: fight over Bruma or Chey or Weynon Priory.

Oh, and do this for Imperial City, too. But that is becoming a sort of running joke these days.

darshkandbrooding_ESO · April 2015

I don't get people who say "it's just for ego" like
All competition is for ego??

I mean have you even read zone chat in cyrodiil

Rook_Master · April 2015

Yes because the premades that would dominate arenas are completely "fair".

AvA is dynamic and interesting. Arena is a complete snore. Why would you want something so bland and boring?

frozywozy · April 2015

Brian said during the last live stream that Arenas and Battlegrounds have been discussed but it was not a priority and it would not come anytime soon.

NukeAllTheThings · April 2015

I wouldn't participate in an arena mode because it is not really my thing, but I am all for having it in the game in some form. Hell, they have the mode and assets already built. Just implement the small scale demo they had at Quakecon last year. Of course they would have to have some sort of matchmaking system. Judging by how long it has taken them to get a properly working group finder it would probably take another year.

Regardless, I am all for it. It might pull some people from Cyro, but it also might pull more people to Cyro that wouldn't come before. Players want options, and this is an attractive option. Hell, if they are going to have CoDlike time to kill, they might as well make a CoDlike mode.

Nothing in relation to PvP is on their priority list.

I want arenas and I totally agree with your above mentioned points. Just give me a good ELO based ladder and I`m happy. No reward crap please. It`s not about ego, it`s about challenge.

No.

This topic is seriously not worthy of arguments anymore. It's equal in ridiculousness to asking for a global auction house. You can search the topic and find an enormous number of threads talking about it. I'm sure you can find my specific arguments against it somewhere in there.

For now, though, since I find these threads annoying and pointless in countless ways, I'm going to make sure to always reply to them in an annoyingly flipant one word response.

So.. No.

PeggymoeXD · April 2015

If people are worried about the negative effects that Arenas would have on Cyrodiil, what exactly does that say about the current state of Cyrodiil?

Because not everyone enjoys 4v50.

We all want arena this has be stated many times.
