I'd just like a "Skip Dialog" option to be honest. Takes too long.

A much shorter but harder dsa would be ok but these long boring ass arenas are not fun

Maybe round two for Maelstrom arena….that dude needs more of his warriors back…-insert cackle and lighting-

Make waves spawn instantly instead of having to spend 50%+ of the Arena waiting.

But only if it's actually a BRP II.

DSA was fine but after Blackrose it's painful with all those roleplay phases taking ages before you have something decent to kill.

I just like Boethiah, wouldn't mind a second go.

No I would rather they add new arena's every now and then, if not one a year every second year or something.

Or alternate between releasing a single player arena then a group one, as part of the release cycle in addition to the usual chapter, zone DLC and 4 dungeons each year.

I heard that dragonstar is old and scripted in a way that makes it an arduous task to ever revisit. Maybe a sequel version would be something to satisfy people who kept asking at least.

ESO writers took Boethia's quest from Oblivion, which also featured 9 rounds of fighting, and stretched it into 4-man content. That'd be fine if they kept to Bethesda style writing but they somehow attributed Mephala's sweet talking to Boethia and while they were at it, they turned Boethia's chosen from no-nonsense seasoned fighters to a bunch of insecure wimps who are all talk. They also forgot that in Oblivion players get to play it only once, while in ESO it's supposed to be run many times. The final result is the kind of arena which feels tiresome and old already during the first run. This might very well be the #1 critical failure of design.

Would you care for a second season of Veteran Dragonstar Arena with new mechanics, loot, bosses and mobs which include aspects of lore from the latest DLC(S)?

It doesn't need even more lore. It needs less. If it's supposed to stay true to the lore, then there should be a way of eliminating at least one boss without fighting, by provoking the others to turn against them. With a new achievement that requires the murder of every non-final boss. Or if it's not boss skipping, then there should be ways of culling the trash packs between bosses.

I would like for them to fix VDSA first. They should allow us to skip the dudes yapping because I swear it adds a good hour to every run.

I think the voice acting in VDSA is approximately 5 minutes of speech, I could be wrong, but I doubt it's really that much.
A decent run without too many deaths and wipes is about an hour in VDSA as it stands.

My current best score in there is:
Dragonstar Arena
Best: 47,007
(Under an hour)

Well, dear producer. You now know that a lot of people here don't like waiting around at the beginning of the stage.
From what I see most don't like:

- The fact that you can't save your game (It's online here, but ok)
- Long waiting times/too much speech
- 10 stages are too much for some
- Lack of groups willing to do it
- Over farming by placing leads in the Arena
- Preference for content in newer areas

I'd just add that speech isn't really an issue if you overlay it with the combat, hence no pauses. Pauses were probably introduced so players could repair their gear between stages or possibly talk about what was coming up. If we put it into perspective, it was useful when no addons existed at launch.

There is no story to build upon for a version two of vDSA. You win and you the champion. THere is nothing more.

It would be better to design a new unique arena. Heck, even maybe venture from the 4 person group and do a 2, 6, or even 8 people group arena.

I don't want a DSA 2, but if they were going to make one they could make you defend your title.

Sure they can do that but I do not think that would make a good arena design as it would be one fight. Maybe two fights since the DSA adds in the final arena are in an earlier arena. It seems rather short unless we are going to have a couple done waves of lesser NPCs to fight before getting to the actual challenger.

Why would it have to be one fight? There were multiple bosses that had to go through you with their end desire being to challenge the arena champion. You of course killed them all, but like half that arena is just people trying to get the right to face the champion. No reason you can't have a lot of challengers too now that you're champion.

I have as much interest in this proposal as I have in biased polls. It puzzles me why pollsters have to ask decent questions and then spoil them with poorly worded options. If they want to get their opinion across they should just make a discussion topic rather than a poll, or else just create a proper poll and leave their opinion for the first comment.

You could have just skipped it then if you have no interest. What's the poorly worded options by the way?
It's either 'Yes' or 'No' and a fact: 'Perfected Weapons'.

We can discuss it here too, as you can see the others have

What would you like to see in terms of gameplay? Renewal of existing content or newer, Tandor?
