Would you like Arena in future content updates

FlatLine84

Let's face it guys the leaderboards in PvP are not skilled base what's so ever. A bott that can follow zerg groups will make it to the number one spot in weeks.

I'm all for some competitive pvp, don't get me wrong I would be switching up back and forth because PvP like anything else needs more content.

pecheckler

Yes

Nobody I know even considers cyrodiil PvP. We need 30 minute to several hour duration structured battles, with a clear beginning and end, with clear victory conditions, and consisting of 20 to 140 players.

We do not need 3v3 or 5v5 matches. That's too small scale to be balanced.

liquid_wolf

No

If it is less than 60 players a side... it isn't worth doing.

It has to be large scale.

bandage106rwb17_ESO

Yes

I say yes, I'd like to see some competitive PVP in the game. I think it'll bring plenty of the hardcore community back, it'll also provide good endgame for all of us who've got to VR12.

Tavore1138

No

No, pandering to the hardcore players by making this like other MMOs is not going to stop them going just delay it a bit, try making the new players happy instead because they are likely to stay.

murklor007neb18_ESO

No

If by Arena one mean a 300 man warzone, sure.

If it means things similar to 3v3/5v5 "dueling", then no. ESO is crap in duels. Its not competetive, its not reactive, its all stun-lock dps derp. Start to balance the game around fixing dueling and it'll be completely *** up. You either go all out and change everything or keep it as is.

Even in GW2 with split PvP/PvE balancing (PvP characters are MUCH weaker than their PvE counterparts), the devs admitted that the PvE balancing was bad for WvW, it should have been balanced as PvP. When they tried to "correct" that balance they broke so many WvW builds and crippled PvE. Except of course the most obvious broken balancing that never got fixed AFAIK (such as Thief perma-stealthers, much more balanced in PvP due to lower damage but in WvW it was completely over the top ridiculous).

hk11

No

I say no. It creates even more balancing issues.

If not for megaserver, I would suggest world pvp servers to sate people's bloodlust.

BBSooner

No

I'd rather add and flesh out cyrodill than jumping the shark so quickly.

dcam86b14_ESO

Yes

I say yes, pvp needs a direct objective. An beginning and and end. most ppl tend to lose interest in Cyrodill bc forward camp bugs, zergs, faction imbalance and the amount of time you spend on horseback. Sure it's fun but after a while it becomes a chore and very very boring. Small scale pvp would encourage ppl to actually play the game for pvp purposes. It would also give great feedback on balance issues between each class or skills. Not to mention it also promotes a more intimate social experience between guildies or random strangers. It would be nice to view commentators stream them as well. Anyway I am all for other "options" of pvp.

WebBull

No

I would be OK with BG's for level 50 and under but end game needs to be Cryodill.....but Cryodill must be improved and meaningful. Absolutely no Arena nonsense.

Aeratus

Maybe

Most likely, Arenas will be bad because it will further highlight class/build imbalances. More balance problems will just generate more frustration, negativity and ridicule.

But there is a slim chance that everything can be implemented properly. So for that I voted "maybe."

Vreenak

No

Absolutely no Arena, BG or any instanced PVP, i play this game for open PVP and such content only bring ppl away from open PVP!!!

Alurria

No

I would rather eat boogers

Reykice

Yes

With no Arena PvP i`m out when my sub ends.... Cyrodil is all about gankers or numbers... i`d just like something more balanced and fun like a quick arena.

No

More Balanced will never be part of Arenas. It is like old alchemy, trying to turn Silver into Gold. All the "balancing" would amount to is many defining abilities being stripped away and all abilities basically doing the same thing with different pretty colors...

Liquid_Time

Both options are a gamble..

Nox_Aeterna

No

No for a long , long time.

After the game is already balanced for the content it got now , then we can think about it again.

Best way to do it would be to "divide" the skills , so that the arena ones and the ones we use outside it would not be the "same". They could then receive a different balance.

Dovel

No

No.

If you think people complain about balance now, it would be worse if Arena was added. Imagine all the people complaining because they couldn't beat a certain team.

If they want to add anything, add battlegrounds with a timed objective. But nothing less than 40 vs 40.

Stratti

No

Arena is a wow thing that in my view ruined a lot of the class mechanics and other PvP. Believe me if you implement 2v2 etc then you see the steady stream of nerds that happen with kiddies get upset at losing

Yasha

Yes

Voted yes- but what I would like is something more like battlegrounds than arena (assuming you mean arena as in the WoW-type arena).

Dusty5

No

NO pvp should be restricted to a single zone.

Preachan

Yes

Yeah, I would like some battlegrounds. No 3vs3 arena stuff, but 10vs10vs10 or something like that.

But - and that is important - there need to be enough reasons to keep people playing cyrodil. That is and has to be the heart of ESOs PvP.

ForTheRealm

No

I second that.
