I mean, that would be lit.
Not to derail things but can you comment on those housing items? Strictly random drop or tired to specific plays? Like sudden comeback and all that? Really want to snag them!
Heavily disagree. I play 10-40 matches of arena per day. Sometimes solo, most of the times with friends. On my rather popular server (Barri), the queue pops mostly instantly, sometimes it takes about 2 minutes. Solo queue is obviously more of a challenge and I hope AGS will introduce proper MMR-based (cross-server) matchmaking soon, that also filters between solo and trio queue.
Aside from that potential improvement, I think PvP Arenas are the best thing they have added to this game so far.

I think they are completely random. Got them all just by playing arenas a lot.
In another thread, a developer said they are working on a solo queue solution. It might take a few months or it might be sooner.
Ooo good, wasn’t sure if the weapon ones were also tied to using those weapons. Very excited to keep playing them then. Especially now that the xp is pretty decent.
The problem is that a lot of people dont have Bis and a lot of perks are terrible. After july patch things should balance out more
I LOVE arena because you can actually do other things with it. For example now I’m able to run around the world and gather/work on craft skills with arena queued, pop in for a 5 min match, and get back to gathering.
I’m finally able to pvp and work on other things simultaneously, which I couldn’t do when OPR was the only form of pvp.
OPR is such a long 20-40 minute time commitment, I just don’t want to deal with it anymore.

What?
I play as a mage and enjoy it but does need solo Qs for sure
i enjoy it.
yes there are problems with solo queuing vs teams
best option use your voice chat.
try to have fun and find people you like playing with and can work together.
reinvite them into an actual stack and go have fun.
various queues and cross servers would be very nice to pad out dead servers and lighten the load any big servers.
but as it is i like it.
would love to see alternative layouts as well as OPR but for now this is fine.
One thing I forgot to mention that annoys the hell out of me about arenas is that the reward track for heavy is ass. Who wants 5x refreshing ward on their pvp set??
honestly i kind of want to try it for war but yeah its sort of annoying
these named sets would be a perfect place or replacement for faction gear where you can swap certain aspects out with those faction modifier things. throw them up in track 100+ or whatever.
I play only arenas.
It misses class finder, same like dungeons.
Also different lobbie for 3x friends and solo players.
Also where is 1v1 ? 5v5?
Not much better for dex when everything drops con

I actually land heavies on light armor pretty regularly. The timing on a fully charged heavy is just enough to allow them to complete the dodge role/reposte or whatever they are doing defensively. I catch them coming out of the animations all the time. They don’t expect the timing, they are anticipating a light or minimum charged heavy.

Amen brother.
Arenas are good in general. Issues with arena are:
- no cross server
- no ranking system
Since its not cross server we fix up solo q vs 3 premade. And its hard to play solo. From other hand if you have good 3 man premade its boring as hell since you will play most games vs players that are not fully gear up or just have lower skill.
This game mode is good but to make it great we need cross server and ranking system.

no ranking system or incentive so why would people care about arena? They should add 1v1 mode so we dont have to stand outside WW to look for randoms to duel.

Because it’s fun. Sure, we are also eagerly awaiting a ranking system but we are having fun anyway.
