Suggestion (PVP 4x4 - 24x24x24 Battlegrounds) ESO Arenas; Be a Daedric or Aedric Champion

Yes, we need this in ESO, i have even made a post about it (Not quite in depth). Somehow we need to get the Devs attention on this. I am a PvPer, that is what i do. I cannot stand the zerging in Cyrodiil, leave that in Planetside. I have to say, if arena PvP is not added i will quit the game. I Love ESO, i want to do everything in it. Get all my toons up, do all the trails etc etc. But i will eventually get bored of the same stuff over and over again.

Good suggestions! I'd like to see the devs do some work in this direction.

For an example of what a 3 sided battleground would look like you can think of wrath of heroes, a warhammer MMO that got closed down in beta.

The suggestions posted here are too good to be buried and I feel this needs to be brought to a higher priority in the devs mind, I personally love Cyrodiil and the fun it can bring either being in the zerg or in the smaller skirmishes but there is still a huge part of me that longs for battlegrounds.

Coming from games like WoW, SWTOR and the rest that have instant access pvp I feel the addition of some form of structured pvp could only benefit the games growth and give the pvp community something new and different, I want to see the ingenuity that ZOS have brought to the game in the form of battlegrounds (Structured PVP) and I know that if they actually put their minds and time to it they could break the limits of what is considered a normal instanced battleground.

I understand the constraints of a 3 faction battleground and the time it would take to develop these but I personally believe they could pull it off. I've seen the Quake Con 2014 Tournament the did and the 3 faction king of the hill battleground made me envious that I didn't and cannot play it. That small and direct type of pvp is what appeals to me and I am sure to a lot of other players, I've even seen some great ideas here and I hope that Zenimax hope to expand pvp beyond Cyrodiil or I fear for the games future as an avid pvper.

This topic is not necessarily full of good ideas. But the feedback intensity shows how huge is our starvation for a new content in this game at this moment.

Thanks on the votes of confidence =3. The length of this is pretty daunting to most, but it was an open musing on one way it could work, much like the armchair developer segment, trying to stoke the fires of creativity. No clue is anyone @ZOS had time to read it though.

Given the amount of other instanced PVP threads I think the need is still being highlighted pretty broad and clear. If I felt more ambitious though I might do a mega thread done linking all these different threads and @ tagging all the supporters, but I don't think I have a weekend free to get that chore done

When you say arena are you saying that is a required setting to make it fun for you, or would 'instanced PvP' in another setting catch your interest?

Going be honest, feels like lil too much reading even though its segmented.
Should bold the main sentence in the segments because I open each of them and its a paragraph.

My quick thoughts based on your numbers it seems like you got your idea from WoW?
Anyways, GW1/GW2 had several things going on, was 8v8 in GW1, they had a bigger battleground 12v12? 16v16? (was kinda fun).
GW2 comes along, everything competition wise is 5v5. There PvP came out 8v8, was really good for hotjoins, then they messed up in my mind and made everything 5v5. WvW is what the 12v12 16v12 in GW1, the thing that replaced that. This game already has WvW/AvA so really no need to bring in 12v12 or 24v24.

Also, dont quote me I only played LoL a few times, I believe thats 5v5, hence I think GW2 tried to mimic them but didnt do a good job.. Just like how I think TESO tried to mimic GW2 WvW... More I play TESO the AvA becomes fun, but I'd say they both about equal, however since playing that type of mode on GW2 FIRST I prefer the GW2 WvW over TESO AvA. AvA has a lot more potential, but GW2 arena style has more potential than TESO if it was to go arena style...

Point being GW2 has advantage over TESO in arena style is because they make everyone equal, anyone can copy a build the pro's use, you cant fully do that in TESO.

Anyways, point was LoL has 5v5, GW2 went from 8v8 to 5v5... 5v5 seems like that magical arena style PvP number.

I think TESO would do great in arena style.. I think it would do great if it had something like spectator arena style as well...
As in you train your arena champion, you give him armor, pick what he has to work on, etc. Then he goes and fights in the arena against other people champions of the arena.

Just something nice to sit back and watch people/ NPCs fight in the arena, just a place to chill and endless fights going on and such. Be great with a PC and a NPC and a mix arena styles.
No other game has where you train your fighter and then watch him fight... Every game out there is the actual player doing the fighting, but having the computer doing the fighting is something new and trust me it will get received well.

Not everyone wants to PvP... But, if you could let the computer fight for you against other computers... This is something PvE'ers would participate in, because most PvE'ers arent directly competitive but if they can get the computer to fight for them, they will. Its easy and fun.

Completely agree...great work.
