Request for a Arena.

Nala_

even if zos made a confirmation of arena being added, you know it wont be added for at least a year.

they could care less about PC users now, especially the PvP ones, which they still havent given new content to a year after release.

For some reason I agree with this, we've got less population than the PvE-ers of this game, yet we most likely put more strain on the servers. I feel like they'd rather remove PvP all together.

You may want to look up this thread on arenas and battlegrounds on the general forums it's a lengthy thread but it has a detailed system on how we can fit in battle grounds and arenas while not "destroying" cyrodiil like a lot of the chicken Littles keep saying. There us also some history on the development of arenas in ESO and there are several discussions on it. Give a look and some support =3.

Please do NOT add arenas. Cyrodiil has issues, but I will take that over boring arenas any day.

If you find arenas boring you don't have to participate in it...don't ask them to take away from other parts of the game simply because you'll find it boring. Its not like they'll remove Cyrodiil from the game by adding Arenas, it'll just add a different style of play, and more choice for people who want to PvP in the game

So after reading the 50th post about adding a arena dueling or something like that think we should just have a petition for one. So if ZoS really does read the forums and really does work on our feed back then hopefully they'll add a arena into ESO.

Also as a little bonus any warrior who goes on a winning streak in the arena gets "of course better rewards" but the battles can be modded from either a regular stander no holds back fight to no skills or one weapon fights.
.

You had me right upto that point when the real intent became clear.
Its not about a simple duelling ability, its about another power grab and completely independent playstyle.
Swiftly followed by demands for special "dualing gear".
Give an inch take a mile.

I'd rather see cyrodiil fixed. People still duel anyway....for sport, not for profit.

I am happy to see an arena.
I am happy to see gambling on combat
When it comes to player "special rewards" for duelling you have crossed the line for me.
That means you are in it for the gear ...not the combat....not the reputation.

Then no special rewards this is the point of ideas and talking about it. But I was talking about junk loot XD like a voidsteel sword of flame.

Forestd16b14_ESO

Well ZoS is reading so let's give ideas for them. As I said in my first post that was my idea for a arena and after some time of thinking and reading other thoughts maybe we can do with out special rewards (was talking about voidsteel swords and shadow spun armor.). Also for those who think a arena will kill Cyrodiil remember there be NO AP gain and WILL NOT effect the leaderboard. It will not effect pvp in any way at all. Just some players wanna do a 1v1 or group vs group. Also do keep in mind alot of other MMORPGs have a form of pvp arena and there pvp is still good.

I like pvp as much as the next guy but I love to really test my skills and build in a 1v1 with out having to worry about the enemy player either running away when there close to death or them getting zerg reinforcements mid way through battle. Plus there just something about being in a arena just seems so right. I don't know if it's the towering walls or the cheers of the spectators.

LOL. They need to balance the classes and fix a ton of skills before introducing structured PVP. Just sayin.

Maybe in smaller Arena situations it would be easier to see which classes need reworking?

That egocentrism!
You could just leave an an arena existing while fighting in Cyrodils, but no:
You would not enjoy it so nobody should enjoy it!
I love egocentrism!

SafiyerAmitora

I'd really like this to be added. It's hard enough for those of us in Legend to get duels going when maps are either all one color or two are making massive pushes and making it hard for the third side to reach a dueling spot (riding halfway across the map only to get ganked when all you meant to do is get to the duels gets frustrating after awhile). And sometimes, when the map IS okay and we get duels going, then one or two sides pushes the other one or two sides back, it gets hard for those who came late to get to the spot, and once duels are going and a lot of players get there, it gets exceedingly difficult to move them. An Arena would help with this... A lot. Would probably make tourneys a lot easier, too.

I used to get that break by spawning at one of the Legends dueling camps and I'd just stand there and watch, can't really do that anymore

^ constructive post right there.

I'd like to see arena, ESO combat seems perfect for that type of PvP, being reaction based

Rewards should be decent enough to make it worthwhile, but not exclusive or overpowered to prevent the decline of cyrodiil population.

3 way arena would be awesome to stream/watch, and would likely draw in a lot of new competitive players who wouldn't have otherwise been interested in the game.

It would not kill Cyrodiil. There are 4 major campaigns rolling right now with at least 2 factions into each of them going max pop at primetime. If they introduced other instances of PvP such as arenas, they could probably get ride of one or two campaign depending how it goes, and once arenas start getting more and more popular, bringing tons and tons of new players and old players back, then they can reconsider adding those campaigns back into Cyrodiil.

The most important factor is to make sure that at least one campaign stay competitive (all factions with equal population most possible) and that arenas are LAG FREE.

I agree some, all types pvp will have it's own problems, small scale matches will suffer from pre-mades, which can ruin players fun just as much as the current imbalance we have in cyrodiil, there really is no fix that will fix all, I am not really a big supporter of small scale pvp did it a lot in other games, but I am not totally against it either, if it gives players options and more things to do, I am all for that, I might not take part in it, but others might love it, and that is great, I think options are always good in games as there are some many different play styles coming together in an mmo. I just hope players do not think other types of pvp would be some flawless game fix, and end up disappointed again. I do not think it would kill cyrodiil, but is a fine line, on how you reward players that take part in both types of pvp.

We also have to look at a game like Warhammer where they had open world pvp system, then they put small scale pvp in the game and it pretty much killed off the open pvp, people are like electricity they will take the path of least resistance, if they are getting the same rewards as the open pvp for queuing up for mini games, then we would see the end of cyrodill and most likely the end of my time in ESO. Like I said it is a very fine line to walk to keep both type of pvp in the game and active.

However, Cyro done right is the best PvP you can get in any game imo. It's just been destroyed by game breaking bugs that somehow takes months to fix and ridiculous lag. Anything to allow constant pvp with no lag should be done.

Best post on this forum.

When ESO PvP is working, lag free, and has any type of balance, its to me the best out there by a mile.

Even a single PvP focused patch that addresses our year + of concerns would re-sub me for another year, no question.

I agree it would not kill Cyrodiil. People would Cyrodiil and do arenas. I know I would.

Very few things are as awesome to me, in online games right now, as a huge Alliance vs. Alliance fight that is lag free.

An arena will show that it only takes 4 people to lag a server (less than that, actually) and thus will be the perfect petri dish for devs to study.

True other have talk about ZoS also using the arena as a "lab" to study and find out what problems PvP has. Would also allow them to take closer look at classes and would allow them to make proper fixes to them instead of blind nerfs just cause most of the community screams it.

Xiphyla

They should have added a ranking Arena like 2v2 or 3v3 or 4v4 or 6v6 at start of eso. Playing a setup Arena now should let you setup with max CP 3600 template so those who got lesser CP or those who just came back to game wont get any disadvantages. Winning Arena let you get more xp gain but losing arena only get slight xp gain. In the meantime before introducing arena , dev should focusing on fixing bugs like mistform exploits and more bugs. This is my opinion , might differs from what other people are thinking .

+1 for arena

Emma_Overload

1v1 duelling arenas would SOLVE so many problems for so many players... I don't understand why ZoS hasn't jumped all over this?!

Would there be less people in Cyro? Probably.

But would it kill Cyro? Pry not... Cyro still has it's place for larger scale battles.

But if they did release structured PvP, and everyone started doing that instead.. all that really shows is that's what people want. It's not like you'd be "forced" to do the structured PvP.

Personally... the Zerg balls and endless lag are getting annoying. I'm having more fun doing small fights in delves than running around in a Zerg farming AP.

People have wanted it since the game was in beta. However, Cyro done right is the best PvP you can get in any game imo. It's just been destroyed by game breaking bugs that somehow takes months to fix and ridiculous lag. Anything to allow constant pvp with no lag should be done.

and you think these devs making an arena will not be accompanied with even more bugs? yea ....

if you don't know right now what classes and skills and builds and scaling type need to be rebalanced RIGHT NOW then idk tafak you've been playing, you don't need an arena to know this ....

even if they somehow find it reasonable to add arenas / battlegrounds AND give rewards for that alone you know everyone is going to farm it at one point, so why bother with "special reward caus i do arena huehue"

And there is the biggest issue of all, how in the world are you going to balance this ? class restriction? will still bring cheese builds into it. No class restriction 3 DKS will Q up and petrify + WB spam you to death

rebalance everything? upset the pvers .....

competitive pvp, structered pvp in this game? Please .... stam builds need to be rebalanced, petrify needs a SERIOUS look at, and all other crap that is utterly broken right now. In case you deny stam is broken heres a stam build that kills everything:

bar1: WB, WB, WB, execute, rally

ur stam dps build is done.

Everyone screaming out right now for arenas and battlegrounds need to seriously think about how they would want it structered and balanced, caus with the current state the game is in, it's going to do more harm than good, since 1.6 allready turned pvp into a 1 button win type of gameplay
