    This news is great. My biggest thought is "When?"

    I'm already bored with PvP today. We need these battlegrounds sooner rather than later.

    Exactly my thoughts. Better roll something out within the next 6 months or else you wil have lost most of your hardcore pvp customers. It's not like the world stands still in the gaming industry, just waiting for ESO DLCs. Plenty of games coming in Q1 2016 that will pull players away.

    I doubt this arena pvp is coming with Thieves so now we're looking at Q3 2016?

    Wait.... @Wheeler said 'in the long term plan'. So, if the game is still around, Arena in Q4 2016 - Q2 2017 probably? All this excitement or disappointment you have now? Don't worry, you won't be playing this game when Arena pvp comes out.You'll have moved on to another game and then have to make a decision if you should come back to this grind and redo your characters.

    Usually that decision ends up being 'Hell no, I'm not coming back'.

    Mixed on it. Always was afraid it would hurt Cyrodiil, but the lag has worked its way through that. Next will be the balance issues getting magnified in the smaller scale fighting, but at the same time; wouldn't mind quick fights every now and then.

    Dueling will not be possible everywhere as there will be some zones that do not allow it. Arenas and Battlegrounds are still in the works so nothing solid yet.

    It should be pretty easy. For about a few days we had small scale PvP when they forgot to disable PvP on the PTS with the new cross alliance Group Finder.

    Just drop me and a few friends off in Fungal Grotto with a bunch of AD and DC. Remove the NPCs. Leave PvP enabled like it was on the PTS before it was fixed. Add some kind of flags or points to capture.

    I like that idea. The option of different battle grounds, or types of campaigns would be cool. small scale pvp isnt much of a big deal to me.

    You have to make a brand new set using only the materials you have on you and the crafting stations in that zone. You then duel using only what you just crafted. Didn't have anything to make a weapon? Only enough for one piece of armor? Too bad!

    I don't understand why people think arenas will kill Cyro. Its just more options and more options means more marketability. You can't sale lag and zergs ball pvp. Ball Group PVP might be fun to play but just looks confusing and shows exploitation of the games lack of collision. It doesn't showcase the combat system, unique classes, weapons, etc. You can't place a cam in cyro and stream it ... but with Arenas ... :smiley:

    That doesn't mean people who arena will not Cyro. Less might but with out the option they're eventually going to move on from ESO and the game will lose their support. Also Arenas will bring people to the game and those people might Cyro. It will all work it self out.

    Yes it will show the imbalance in Classes, which will be undeniable and documented and hopefully ZOS steps up to the plate and takes care of those issues so that they can better sell their product.

    I'd rather them roll arenas out in stages. I don't care if there are leader boards or if they're are polished. I simply want even numbers, no npc, no sieges and no objectives ... I don't even care if there is AP awarded. That all can be added later.

    I get that they want to put out a pretty and well functioning BG/Arena experience though and that quality needs to be priority. I just think they're over a year late getting started on this and want to see an alternative NOW. 8 plus months is a long way away.

    Hate it when a game designed for large player groups is played by large groups.

    This is bad. They always said, classes aren't balanced around 1v1 and now they officially implemenent it ? O.o
    Expect the stronger 1v1 specs to get nerfed immediately due to crying of uncapable people who can't 1v1 well.

    It has been stated as in the works, both ARENAS AND DUELING! Rejoice, PvP community and share your thoughts! Here are mine:

    PvP Arena Instances: Make 4. 1 is 1v1, another 2v2, then another 3v3, and the 4th 1 4v4. This allows people equal opportunity small-scale PvP and doesn't bother the other Arenas.

    Dueling: Please change how you plan to not allow duels in Cities. Make it so that if 2 players engage in a duel in a City and a Guard comes along they will both get a bounty and the Guard will attempt to accost them. Since 1 Guard can only accost 1 player it can be made so when 2 players dueling are busted a second guard appears out of nowhere with the original to help accost the other player.




    oh!!! awesome news!!!


    I would propose this:


    1. dueling, to add an option to invite a player or group for duel, anywhere in the map, in all zones. Include an option in the game settings to automaticly deny there invitations, for people who do not like to engage in dueling. That is a must.
    - also include an option to reject the duel even when the duel fight already started
    - there should be an option in the group finder tool, to invite player or groups for duel, either directly into the zone of the inviting player, or to the arena
    - battle leveling buff, maybe it could apply even to dueling and arenas, it could make fights even more interresting and even more attractive, even for low level characters

    2. I am not sure if the guards should not like dueling though and place a bounty on the duelers. Maybe in the city centers yes. But I would include an option, if the players would pay a higher amount of money to the outlaws refugee, to be able to duel even in the city, for a certain period of time, depending on the money paid to the refugee. but I would exclude the city centers from this, it should be done outside of the city, or on the city periphery.
    Also maybe either Thieves Guild or Guild of assassins should include dueling arenas inside their hideouts.


    3. Of course, if some players duel, they should not be able to harm with their attacks other players that stand by but are not part of the duel

    4. battle arenas, here is a huge place for options, I would for sure include include:
    - 1 vs 1 (players)
    - 2 vs 2
    - 3 vs 3
    - and so on, it can be even 10 vs 10
    - then for sure I would include fights with monsters and monster bosses, also 1 vs 1 and so on, and also 1 big boss vs more people
    - dailies, for sure I would include dailies into the arenas, which would include fighting different monsters bosses, each daily would include a story and every story would be as a quest, so first time when completed, it would grant skill point
    - leader boards also, for each class and general ones too
    - bidding, that could be fun, but of course not mandatory, but there could be some kind of bidding system, where people would be able to bid on players, or monsters - who would win the fight and if they win then they could earn some money more, than what the put to the bid, but not much higher, we do not want ESO become Las Vegas, do we :smiley: - ?
    - of course this should be protected, so that people would not misuse it, so that they would agree before the fight who "will win" and then get the money because they bidded on the oponent - some strong one week or even more ban to the arena if this would be found out
    - I love the Blessed Crucible - Undaunted daily, one variation of the Arena could look exactly like that, or large colloseums like it was in ancient Rome would be really great too


    5. Cyrodiil - in my opinion dueling and arenas would not harm Cyrodiil in terms of players migrating from Cyrodiil and IC into the arenas for PVP. there are people who like large scale battles (which should be fixed in terms of lags, which is in progress, as ZOS has confirmed, so I believe, as PVP is a huge part of the game and as PVPers are a huge portion of the player base, it will be fixed very soon, I believe this strongly.
    So adding more options for PVP, small-scale would be great and would attract even more new players to the game and even more PVEers to PVP.
