Suggestion for pvp arena.

So I've heard the call for a single player arena and wanted to throw my ideas into the ring. I see a large colosseum where players can have 1v1, 2v1, and 2v2 battles. All other players are welcome to spectate from the stands and before each match they can pick a favored fighter and place a small friendly wager of gold. (Probably a 5k limit, not trying to turn eso into Vegas) There can be general exhibition fights that queue you to fight players within your level and cp range, and tournament fights which start with open exhibition and bracket off. This of course would be cross faction and the stands would be a protected area so we can finally interact and talk to the other factions in a safe way. Imagine the rivalry, the victory, the crushing defeats.

I also think restriction fights could be cool, special fights with skill limitations, debuffs, or fights were both players start with no skills and over the course of the fight abilities unlock over time. Just to spice it up, we also have a ring of fire fight (this mechanic is already in the game :-) ).

I also think this Spartacus style gladiating will increase the already healthy numbers of streams and videos, as it has a more esport feel to it.

Probably just a pipe dream though, but it would be awesome.

    Sounds like a great Idea. When is this DLC coming out?

    oh but dude, I actually like that idea of a huge colloseum somewhere in other DLC place. Between the mountains in the walley, city of Ailen, Kvach. And I would also include fights 10v10 :smiley: That would be great.

    good point!! :)

    I would even also include, to please the PVEers too :smiley: , to include there fights with monsters, brought in cages there :smiley: . A minotaur or troll :).


    I know this idea (also in me) brings the feeling of animal fights in real life, but this is just a game folks, not real life :). I am a vegetarian in normal life, but I hunt mamoths in ESO :). I also don`t kill or steal other people in my real life, as I do in ESO :smiley:

    It won't work with class imbalances. Whats more Maelstrom supports this imbalance since they top charts are class specific.

    The meta will continue to evolve and while perfect balance won't ever be achieved I'm confident that one day things well fall in line. (Otherwise my life as a pure archer would have been wasted)

    People would exploit the arena and the betting. Some people would bug as many people as they could asking to duel. My ignore list is not big enough for that. Therefore, an arena is a bad idea to me.

    Just find a location in a PvP area and duel there as it is now.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.
    Is the glass half full or half empty?
    I say, "Get a smaller glass."

    Can there be Dremora commentators like in the Maelstrom arena? They are too damn cool.

    I would not see that as a problem. There can be a check in the program of the arena, that would catch exploiters. One month ban to the arena for the first warning. 2,5 months ban to arena second warning, 10 months ban to arena for third warning, perma ban for fourth warning. easy as that. people would think twice before trying to exploit stuff.


    Arena could be a great oportunity to test out sets or builds. 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, **vs**. And then also 10 lvl10 vs 1 VR2 or so :). and then also against monsters please :)!!
