Small Scale 5v5-1v1 PVP Arena

Please ZOS give us a 5v5 to 1v1 PVP Arena for all factions. That would really be super fun for everyone and for the competitive players.

They do have them, but REFUSE to release them to us.

This was amazing, yes everyone in the video sucked. But damn, this would be fun.

Can make battle grounds based off this stuff, or release these arenas.

Pretty please, ZoS.

I mean, if they already have them made...... Why can't they? Please ZOS, please? We promise to cash shop items more!

We don't know what they plan to do for small-scale PvP yet, only that it will happen. They have to brainstorm all possibilities before they can release it, and anything that was but no longer is that will be added will no doubt need to be touched up before it comes, like Forward Camps.

They teased it at Quakecon, and then keep letting our hearts be ripped out of our chest every time there's another stupid PvE arena.

LOL! YES! Slowly losing hope each patch.

3 v 3 and 5 v 5 could be a lot of fun, not sure why this has not been implemented yet.

Hopefully ganking is allowed in a 1v1 or 5v5 though.

Yeah seriously be so fun

Just call it CE Arena lol

Honestly though, would like to see this but not before they address the issues already existing. Building higher on a bad foundation is just stupid.

Well.. I don't think stealth would be disabled in an Arena.

I have a great idea! Let's balance combat in ESO around 1v1 dueling in a stone box! We can spend the next several years in a cycle of nerfs and buffs that constantly fail to achieve the class parity we strive for, but do *** people off. A. Lot.

Didn't any of you ever hear about the problems that 1v1, 2v2 and 5v5 player arenas caused in World of Warcraft? Every time some clever theory crafter comes up with a build for class A that is OP, but maybe only against class B, Class A gets a big un-lubed nerfbat right in the bathole.
So now we have a bunch of pissed off players who used to be competitive, then had the chance to be OP if they ran the FOTM build who are now nerfed into oblivion and can no longer win Arena matches, and are useless in Cyrodiil. But there's good news! This same nerf also most likely ruined the PVE builds of a lot of other players who may or may not even PVP at all, let alone jump in the duel box. The great thing is that these people, for the most part, have no understanding of why the nerf happened in the first place, since they don't PVP, so they feel singled out and picked on for no reason that they can see. Someone just came out of nowhere and broke their favorite toy's arm off and poked them in the eye with it.

ZOS can't even make the existing PVP work right. Do you really want them trying to balance every class for combat parity with every other class?

That's why Blizzard is smart and has spells behsving differently in PvE and PvP.... which ZOS should do....

ZOS has to do it BEFORE they start trying to add small group arena PVP. It took Blizzard years to get around to separating combat abilities so they could balance PVE and PVP seperately. In the interim, they ruined a lot of people's day over and over again.
