Now just imagine a pvp arena setting such as Dragonstar where people could line up above and watch the fights (where the NPC spectators are), place bets as well as comment and discuss fighters, maybe even step into the ring with them if they fancy their chances? 1v1s, 2v2s, 4v4s etc.

Enjoy!

If ZoS would add an arena like this for us PvPers, it would be wonderful. When the idea of arenas is brought up, many people always say "but it would kill Cyrodiil and large scale PvP." I have to disagree. The large guilds will continue to fight against other large guilds for maps, and players who enjoy small scale would spend their time in these Arenas. Imagine how nice it would be to have an option to either roam open world looking for fights and either playing defense/offence, or to go to the Arena and fight it out there, and have a nice small scale experience. The fact is, PvPers need new content, and an Arena would be wonderful. A lot of the population is craving it, so why can't ZoS give it? Not everyone wants to zerg or play organized groups. There are tons of players who enjoy small scale.

This evening session with open pvp people is total proof to me that they would absolutely enjoy a pvp arena with all the bells and whistles. We've been going at it for more than an hour in a busy 'intersection' and we've totally stopped the battle between BRK/Arius.

I don't know what else I should do, stop the entire war in a pop locked Cyrodiil campaign and prove to ZOS we want this?

Before today, Haderus (NA) is like this.
But it was destroyed.
Someone want last good PvP server become Lagblade.

I hope it can return to normal tomorrow.
Maybe it's not possible.

I think Alliance wars isn't a problem.
The problems are lag and unbalance population.

Ironically, Thornblade NA is now where I find the small scale PvP I crave. Sometimes I go there, and have awesome fights in random places. Had some good ones at the DC gates last night, where is was me against several EP, but in the end it turned into them taking turns dueling with me, and it was just a blast.

I also had this awesome little encounter with another sorcerer. We ended up streaking off from the huge fight without even a word to each other and went at a fun 1v1 that we both enjoyed a lot. I seem to find more and more encounters like this: People looking for that small scale experience. It totally shows me that more and more people need an arena.

Like I said in the past, arenas would not ruin large scale pvp at all. We could just reduce the number of campaigns to squeeze more people in while people experience the arenas and once the game get more popular with the "most wanted" new PvP content that we have all been waiting for, we can adjust the number of PvP campaigns back to the original point.

All it matters is to have at least one campaign for vets and one campaign for non vets. If we need more because we have more players, so be it. In the end of the day, it doesn't matter if a good portion of players merge into arenas. It will be good for the health of the game and will surely increase the overall game popularity.

P.S. ......... and the profits for Zenimax.

Haderus has large or small battle. Every faction has chance to win.
Not like lagblade. If someone let you play that you can play, they don't you all die.

No one make lag at Haderus.
Not like other lag servers, someone will lose the lag begin.
They want something the lag begin.

That's difference.

I really don't think PvP Arena is a good idea if we have to group.
If we have to group then It will like pledges or Craglorn.
Some class or someone isn't welcome to play.

The need here, though, is that PvPers need new content that is not going to be tied to PvE (i.e. Imperial City will be tied to PvE), and I think every player should have the choice as to what sort of PvP they'd like to participate in. Obviously the giant lagfest that we have now isn't working, and many players crave the smaller scale idea of PvP. I think an arena/battleground would be very good for the health of PvP in ESO right now. This game definitely needs it.

That was beautiful.
Give us an Arena, please.

Everyone likes Zerg, except DC.
You see AD Zerg and EP Zerg all the time.

It's not enough Zerg one server.
They zerg every servers if they like.

Man that looked like fun

Yukian · May 2015

Would be awesome to have a smaller arena type area like this. XD

LegendaryMage · May 2015
