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 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.
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.
Playing on a serveur with +1k player and u queue all day long in 30sec.
Something that could be nice and very apreciate by evryone would be the detection of healer or not in 3v3.
For example, if there is 1 player reg in arena,with lifestaf equiped and +150 focus, then he can only do an arena game if on the other side there is also an player like that.
This way, if there is healer, there is one in each side and evryone is happy, and if there is no healer on both side, evryone is happy too.
Well, when u are reg on arena you just cant swap weapon/armor/attribute anymore. Same when ur inside.
If you want to, leave Arena Queue or wait next arena.
They did it with “combat” mode, just add “Queue” mode the same thing.
I dont say its the perfect system, i say it would bring way balance that with the actual system.
no one enjoy playing vs premade team with heal when u have random dps in your team.
The only viable option would be separated queue for groups and solo. But then will be complains from groups of 2 guys, they will have to either find 1 more guy to queue for group or queue solo both of them.
