  1. Two teams only: like... the game becomes so chaotic when you are facing the enemy team and suddenly a second enemy team shows up. I dunno but I'd prefer having two six people teams instead of three four ones;
  2. Free for All deathmatch: what about being all by yourself against 11 more people? This should be interesting. 1st to 6th win the match. Random respawn place and 4s time. First one to score [x] kill points wins and the match will be over (if you are from 2nd to 6th during the time it ends, you will win as well);
  3. 3v3 or 6v6 Elimination: Three rounds, two teams, and a simple objective: eliminate the enemy team. If you die, you are eliminated from the match and will need to wait for the next round to respawn. The first team to score 3 total elimination wins.

What do you think?

    Free for All sounds fun :smiley: last man standing, where the nightblade hidden in the corner wins :wink:

    I would love to see a real arena 2vs2 or 3vs3 4vs4 or whatever size. But with a rating too. This is the most important part for a MMO to keep player playing and have something to archieve and compare.

    And if they do so, something like a skirmish arena too. Maybe in player houses (switch into PvP mode - not just Duel) or a skirmish arena mode to practise

    1. Two sided fights are to predictible. Usually after first/second contact you know which team is stronger. So having third team introduces element of chaos, sometimes it allows for brief 8v4 etc. etc.
    2. Awesome, I like it and I want it :D
    3. Elimination as game mode is awesome idea but again two sided combat after first or second contact becames boring because losing and winning team already know how will it end and usually at some point losing team stops to fight back.

    — They always claim they’re “investigating” the causes, but in reality they’re just waiting until the PC EU players go to bed. Once that happens, you can suddenly log in again and they happily mark the issue as Fixed.

    1. two teams doesn't work.
    The tankier team always wins. Or Draws. It provokes stale gameplay.

    2. Awesome

    3. With current tanky heal meta this would be a nightmare.

    I think they all sound like interesting ideas. I would go one stage further though

    I'd like users to be able to set all the parameters for BGs.

    That way they can choose the number of sides, how many players are on each side, what map you're playing on, what the teams are, what the game is etc.

    The possibilities would be endless.

    The only downside would be that you would be fighting for pride rather than rewards. And would that mean there would be any takers for this?
