New solo arena

Vicarra

NO

I have cleared vMA, but I did not enjoy it. It was frustrating and exhausting to learn to complete. Admittedly, it has made me a better player because there was literally nowhere to hide and no one else to blame when I failed over and over, but I have no desire to try and farm it, or to go for e-peen score runs. Clearing it just so that I know I can do it was enough for me, I will never go back in. If they put another single-player arena in the game, it'll be probably another five years before I bother trying that too. It's just not fun for me. I'd rather spend the required hours actually doing some content with my guildies.

Havent completed vMA, never will complete it either. Its elitist content, and we have enough of that already (DLC dungeons).

Odovacar

YES

vMA is fun but over the years we've outgrown the difficulty by a lot. A new single player arena would be really nice to see.

But only if they change the mechanics so there's variety between runs. Not interested in more choreographed fights to memorize.

100% that's why VMA got old real fast. Not so much the first few runs but after 1000 runs trying to get the right weapon with the right traits "especially at the start of VMA since there was only a chance at getting a weapon" but knowing and understand where the spawn points where turned a 1 hour and 30 min run down to 25-30 min runs

Some day this AAA award-winning MMO will move away from fights that play out exactly the same way every time, I hope. Memorizing the fights makes them faster and easier, but god it's boring.

Yes, this and a duo arena would be really nice to have.

NO

Duo arena would be so much better

Elsonso

YES

Sure.

Now that U24 is driving away all the end game progession players, we have more multiplayer dungeons and trials than we need.

Now that they’ve brought in the perfect/imperfect sets it could be a lot of fun I dont have the environmental awareness to complete vMA but can face roll light attack nMA. Would be nice to make the normal mode worth playing or make a whole new arena styled as such (I’m not asking for a vMA nerf, just a reason to play nMA or similar).

No just no especially since you can beat nMA on a lvl 3 toon "with max CP and yah you will hit lvl 10 after getting done"

Its nothing to do with environmental awareness, its to do with build, rotation and running it enough times to know exactly where and when everything spawns. In short - practice.

MLGProPlayer

YES

I wouldn't mind. As long as we wouldn't need to farm it 170 times.

Bigevilpeter

NO

Duo Arena would be awesome, with no set roles. Maybe tank/DD or Healer DD or mixed builds

Magsorc with Mothers Sorrow, False God and whatever Monster Helm I’m feeling. 37k dummy parse. Always die to the archers in the water. I cant keep up with amount of enemies spawning. For ME its about environmental awareness

Target priority, you know they are there clearly, so you are 'aware' of them. They spawn in the same place everytime so prioritise the mobs that give you trouble, try slotting leash and bring em into your aoe.

Whats on your bar?

Also don't worry next patch magsorc gets crit heals back, lot stronger with that!

Tbh, I gave up a year and a half ago and have no intention of going back. But let’s not derail the thread, my point was/is that I support the development of another solo/duo arena.

It would be great to see one made like the newer trials that included perfect and imperfect rewards, to make the content more accessible and enticing.

TheNightflame

YES

I'd love one for support roles

Vapirko

YES

Yes, or duo. And it make it vMA difficulty like when it first came out. And have it drop really good weapons only on veteran mode.

luen79rwb17_ESO

YES

Yes please. Gotta love solo arenas where noone can get carried. A true display of your personal skill at this game.

idk

I am certainly not against a new solo arena offering a new and better challenge. However, we have also wanted a 6-8 man arena or similar type of instance to server as a middle ground between vDSA and trials. Granted, both would be good and no reason we cannot have both.

Nemesis7884

NO

it would have to include a lot of randomized elements otherwise i just dont think its a good investment of resources, seeing how quickly maelstorm arena got boring...

vMA is still a busy place. Granted it is heavily due to the weapons there but we still have players that are rightfully excited about their first clear since it is still a worthy achievement where you do not get help from someone else.

true but as you said ppl do ot for loot not fun..and i stopped doing this a long time ago...if something is not fun, im not doing it...

I think more ramdomized elements in arenas could make em more fun in general...

I dunno.

First, as I said, people also do it for the achievement. Personal challenges play a big role in MMORPGs. That goes beyond the first clear, beyond getting flawless. It leads to leaderboards scores. I know players who have made it a personal goal to be amongst the best, the best of the best by getting into top 10 and even top score for their classes.

In competitive PvE that is a big deal. By ignoring half my comment you have ignored a huge factor for people repeating the content. If you were a competitive PvE raider this would be pretty obvious because we keep raiding a trial well after we have farmed the gear to death. We are going for improvement, achievements, leaderboard scores. That is what top PvE players and even moderate players do.

BigBragg

I'd like to see a duo arena.

HappyLittleTree

YES

Yes even better if they got a solo/duo arena with a toggle

Tommy_The_Gun

NO

Normally, I would say "yes" but in the current moment, we have huge changes every 3 months. So adding a difficult content that you invest much time in to have great gear, only to be nerfed moment later, is not a good idea. I would much rather want for ZOS to focus on this weird rebalance and finish it asap. Besides, last time when ZOS apparently did not had enogh time to polish content, we got an arena (in murkmire) that was nothing fresh, but only recycled mechanics from other dungeons & bosses.

Also I would much more like them to add somethig inovative, that we never seen before. I was thinking of something different. I think the closest content you can compare it to would be a trial, but it would be something differet:
- HUGE dungeon.
- The dungeon would have procedullary generated "parts" that would make it different each time you play it (just like tresure chests are random in dungeons, this dungeon would have entire sections that are random).
- It would have diffetent modes, so you could compleat it solo or in a 4 man group and have different achivements and rewards.
- Just like all dungeons, it would have normal, vet and vet hm difficulty setting.
- The ultimate goal would be to reach an exit, rather than kill all boses.
- It could also have puzzle elements (solve the puzzle to open door etc).
- It would not reset till you have quest active (just like nMA & vMA).
- It would have small wayshrine "checkpoints" so every now & then you could port to the surface.
- Posible (and I know some people might dislike this) it could be added instead of a zone story DLC, or Diablo - style we would have a tiny City - size zone only with entrance to the dungeon, & some NPCs. But then again - the dungeons would be "multi-difficulty" & "multi-content" (solo or goup) so all players (both casuals & end-game) would find this content attractive.
