✭Sure but it would be filled with cancer. “Tank” metas always find it’s way in that type of pvp.3 -
killmove✭✭✭At least with this ZOS can monitor
Also add spectator modeEdited by killmove on January 9, 2019 4:01AM0 -

Arenas are the best way to balance clases. If you see the top 50 players, all playing the same class/build, dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out something is wrong…4 -
Finviuswe✭✭✭✭I'd in favor of it man. No for real
I wish the dueling arena near Wayrest saw regular use3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Sure why not, it would be absolutely stuffed with Stamblades and Tank builds but it would still be fun to try. The only thing would be scoring because you would definitely need a mechanic where if the time limit runs out the person who has dealt the most damage continuously wins, or some sort of reward for being more offensive. Otherwise you'd just get a ton of turtlers using stealth and tanky builds to try and outlast their opponent and hope for a good tank or some AOE damage to get them. They would also have to be fairly fast fights. 1v1s couldn't go on much longer than like 5 minutes just in case someone is there to try and stealth their way to a win. No one wants to deal with that BS for very long.1 -

If only if it was that simple. There will always be scenarios where a class will perform better in a certain setting such as a Templar being good in groups over the years but struggling solo. Or a dk being great at duels but average in open world. A stam nb slaying solo but dragging down a group. Magblade dominating leaderboards but the worst class in the game.
Arenas are no different, whatever class and builds favor it will be seen the most. Although this isn’t the best indicator of what needs to be balanced. It’s just an indicator of what’s best in a small arena setting.

FinneganFroth✭✭✭✭✭A spectator mode on an arena would be pretty cool. It could even be a physical location where you could be in third person, or you could watch via first person like you would on Twitch.1 -
killmove✭✭✭For the spectator mode it should be done this way
- 1 screen with all active arenas,
- we should see the users names of players inside every arena in order to choose
- You get teleported inside, you look like an orbe, with speed buff +30% but no skills or weapons
- Other players, orbs wont see you

✭What i would like to see is something like improved dueling System where you could get in a group and duel other groups.
Size of group doesnt matter so players can do 3v10 if they wish to do it. For practice or just for fun.
The leader of the group needs to send a request to the other leader like the existing system now, after this every group member gets a ready check to make sure everyone wants to participate and it prevents trolling.
Then they can fight to see who is the best.
But i am also for arenas with scores and stuff. Like 2v2,3v3,4v4,5v5. Just more options in player count to give more diversity. Each player count would need an specific group setup to perform best and gives players so much possibilities to build their group setup.0 -

LOL this.
Zos would be smart to keep things simple. We already have a 4v4v4 design. If there are additions I would expect maybe a 4v4 or 8v8. It just makes it simpler to manage overall if the design does not get to complicated.
If they do add a different style it would likely have a different leaderboard if it differs greatly from what we already have.

killmove✭✭✭I don't think the system can bundle 4v4 or even more. Remember ZOS can't make good performance specially for PvPEdited by killmove on January 9, 2019 1:12PM0

Rain_Greyraven✭✭✭✭✭I'm sure they will once they turn Cyrodil into a PVE area....heck they could even add a major quest line to the arena system.

So you want to be a game developer? Here is the best way to go about it.0 -
Oberstein✭✭✭That arena place where you can ride mounts is horrible replace that map.History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.0 -
killmove✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno looks like many players are interested by this ideaEdited by killmove on January 13, 2019 7:27PM0

✭I like that, makes me think.. If there really will be a dragon break, and we get back to cyro before it was Destroyed, We could maybe have that in the arena in IC?

So you nerf the hell out of the class on top even if only relevant in that setting.CatchMeTrolling wrote: »Sure but it would be filled with cancer. “Tank” metas always find it’s way in that type of pvp.

Environment is PvE dungeons and trials, Cyrodil, BG and now add duels.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -
zaria✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Now make your own battleground might be an fun idea, 1-6+ players in 2-3 teams. Spectator mode but no rewards this is for training not farming AP.
Yes you can do this in Cyrodil but it require different alliances. while the above could be an fun guild event.Grinding just make you go in circles.

✭✭✭✭Maybe introduce some sort of dueling dailies at Hammerdeath Arena. There're already a bunch of NPCS there. Simple stuff and it awards AP and gold if you duel within the arena.
Some simple stuff like guild vs guild
(basically group v group of the same size, perhaps maxed at 12.)
And ordinary 1 v 1
Naked brawl of 2 or more, like a free for all
Hopefully spectators welcome

✭Didn't they already start this? Stormhaven has a place called Hammerdeath Arena, which is, well, just a place for people to duel in a disorganised fashion, they could rework it into a proper arena system.0 -
killmove✭✭✭there are a leaderboard also
players in 2v2 and 3v3 need to create a team (name and a flag) this team ID will be shown in the leaderboard.
for 1v1 there is no need, we can track player name or id.0
