I don’t think it was ever slated for April tbh. Just to be frank.
Just says spring.

great, so you know that in WOW there were no potions available in arena, not even attribute potions.
Then again PVP in WoW was more balanced than New World will ever be so I see why potions might be usefull on some builds
Gear difference will favor whoever has more gold. How are you gonna balance that? Life leech and also other perks that give you and advantage.
They should not Limit consumables at all in Arenas.
If you want it 100 % fair we all need to fight naked without gear and pots.
Only way would be to allow faction shop gear so everyone has the same stats and perks.

With the current meta, I don’t see how arenas could be fun.
The current arena system we know (most of us) is from wow for the majority.
By experience, ags dev team have to work on a way to implement different win situation. What will you do against a triple healer team ? When i see 7 guys kited by only one medium healer in OPR that scary me for arenas.
Arenas match should be under 10 minutes timers.
Degressive debuff could be added … like supersmash bross, when you hit someone passed 5 min you increase a damage debuff who could resolve the heal problem.

In every MMO pvp is about CC and teamwork this content is not for solo players forget it every premade party will just smash randoms, you will need also heal reduction perks and defensives. Forget about playing there with non const builds ut will be suicide you should prepare more than 1 build we dont know what will be good and weak there, ICE Gauntlet with ice tomb or rapier will be good as counter against oneshot comps. What about rest dunno, also one shot musket might be good with its bomb, who knows pure speculation. Only thing sure is that you cant play on your own u will have to coop.

If they created a random queue and a premade queue that would be an adequate solution. A single server population almost definitely couldn’t sustain this though… Cross server queing is a must longterm at least.
I hope random match makin for pvp arenas in Lost Ark is terrible if ur team have support and your not is most cases already GG. Same healer if u match make with no healer group or 3 healers then GL xd or no heal or no dps.
this isnt wow and we dont need 3v3 arenas you can already 3v3 duel. We need actual game fixes and maybe a war simulator not something that dosnt help anyone or the growth of the game in any way
Agree with above post this game is not ready for small competitive gameplay. It will be so flawed they will get killed on steam YouTube and the forums. Opening another resource drain for the company.
You would NEED a life staff in your group without pots, which would be bad.

cheap? How much does just one Gem Powder cost on your server?
I dont use gem powder and i dont really see why people do… But its 80g on my server (dry tree)
whetstone: 190
Food 40 hp: 121
Ointment: 180x2
Gem Powder: 152x2
Let’s assume in a better match of 5x, 5 minutes each.
Me being focus would use: 190+121+10x180 or 10x152. Depending on the opposing team.
Total: 2111.00
Did I forget something?
If you played there then you should know that all classes have at least one healing skill and also the heals heal heavily.
gem powder
Increases Elemental Damage absorption by 35.0% for 20.0 seconds or until any damage is taken 15.0 times.
2min cd.
Powerful Oak Bark Ointment
Increases Physical Damage absorption by 35.0% for 20.0 seconds or until any damage is taken 15.0 times.
2min cd
Yea i know what it does… i just dont use it. I only use hearty meals and health pots so

The only thing íi would change is not letting in healers only in premade fights. in premade vs premade yeah sure let healers do their things. but in randoms there shouldn’t be any because 3 man cant kill a healer while 2 dps peeling for him even without the 2 dps an 1v3 for a decent healer is nothing.
yes. Rogue, mages, hunters, warlocks and warriors had so much healing back then…
Jokes aside, I don’t remember dual priest being a thing in arena. That’s because you needed cc or burst damage to kill a player fast. Having 2 healers was never a good option
The thing is, WoW was balanced around 5v5 at most and 1v1 at best. New World is not balanced around group fight or 1v1 so how the 3v3 will work I have no idea…
PVP was good because a healer could kill a dmg dealer and a dmg dealer could kill a healer. Sure gear made an impact but it was more about rotation and skill.
Here there is no rotation because dodge and right click summarize 80% of the combat.
To survive in the middle of fight, this is your choice if u use oak or powder u have u will probably survive clump ( ofc not when 50 people throw full cooldown on you), on melee is must be.
1v1 arenas will be like never ending fight, execpt if we limit HP potion to one and resistant potions and powder to one. Otherway u can reset fight endlessly.
