Reason Why ZOS won't make a 1v1 'Arena Battleground'.

danisonfire1994

Because ZOS knows that some Classes are not well-balanced against other Classes. There are some un-killable builds, which makes no sense if they ever add a 1v1 Arena. And if so they will add a 10v10-5v5 Arena that would be understandable. But if they ever plan to add a 1v1 Arena make sure to balance everything first ZOS.

I guess we will see in 2017 like they said in the twitch stream...

On the other hand, watching the best players streaming and reading forum comments about 1v1 would help them iron out any serious imbalance issues. It's called crowdsourcing. Just saying...

Yep, the same reason why I suspect that we still don't have a training dummy.

Great detective work . You are correct .

Taking a game that was not designed for small scale, and adding features that I am sure they never intended to I am sure is a lager project than most can imagine, and the balance nightmares it will bring, will be epic you think the forums are bad now with nerf calls you have not seen anything yet.

i dont see why they even need an arena.

when trion brought dueling to defiance they made it so you could challenge anyone, anywhere.

if a dumpy company like trion can do it, zos should have no problem with it.

They can easily turn on dueling . They haven't because the reasons above . There's no balance . Absolutely zero balance since launch . That's why you see the Pendulum swing so wide every update between magica and stamina . Constantly grabbing at straws to attempt balance after adding system upon system or removing a system . This would put the magnifying glass on the situation .

Actually it's because people keep asking for it even though small-scale PvP is coming

The classes will never be balanced. Ever. The only way to balance the classes is by removing them.

It will probably never be perfect, but overall balance has improved tremendously since launch. In those days players in anything other than light armor / staff were often kicked from endgame PVE groups, vampire DKs could 1v20, and encountering a stam sorc in Cyrodiil was like finding a unicorn.

It takes a long time for changes to reach live and the pendulum does tend to swing this way or that based on player feedback, but it is clear the developers have been listening to at least some of that feedback.

Give players the option to 1v1 duel outside of towns (outside of cryodill). This way the players in cryodill are actually contributing, instead of taking up all the player slots and all flocking to the arena district or some corner of the map.

Overall, i hope Arena's/Battlegrounds do not offer 2v2/1v1 and comes in the form of 3 faction fights. 3v3v3, 6v6v6, 12v12v12.

Honestly classes should never be balanced to 1v1. It should be based around group play. They should have their specified roles in a group and if they try to play roles outside of it then they underperform. The fact that people think every class should do everything is insane and throws real balance out of the window.
