This game's PvP gaemplay is designed for 1v1-5v5. Not 50v50

I think adding in a 1v1 - 5v5 Arena system would add a lot of options to the game for those of us who would rather pull our hair out than run mining quests for hours.

This game is completely designed around PvP. The combat abilities are GREAT, They didn’t need to be changed. You needed to CHANGE how we use them.

Seriously though I don’t want to search for these crates haphazardly hidden by moronic, easy to beat monsters anymore

Whoever designed our HEROES, because that’s what they are. They are HEROES or CHAMPIONS… You know… Like in a MOBA… They have abilities that do things on a cool-down system. Let me use them as such, I don’t want to play in a giant 50v50 clusterf*** war.

What about a 1v1 arena match for faction points that matches you up against some other random person who is within 2 levels of you in an opposing faction?

Pop me in some giant wooden coliseum, let me 1v1 this dude for experience or items or faction points or whatever.

Why did I spend all this time leveling up this weapon build for purpose and not be given an outlet for it?

I don’t want to mine. I just want to play PvP with the character you let me make.

I want to team up with a buddy into a 2v2 arena.
What about Capture the flag 5v5?
King of the Hill 3v3?

And also… Let us fight in the environments you created. I want to queue up and be matched into a random place that’s already in the game.

Put us on either end of Amrine Temple and let the teams hunt for each other.

Or you queue up with 4 others and you land in a large wooded area, or on the beach. Or in one of those corrupted farms, or near a random portal zone.

Dear god how does nobody see how cool the PvP system could be?

Everyone just wants to gather?

Lets us fight in the cemetery, or mountain mines, or on a shipwreck.

All of the assets are already there, just please god stop giving us mining quests.

Give us Arena Quests.

I really just want to stop mining.

It honestly really is. Unless they bring back stagger which corrects everything they have, not dramatically saying, destroyed. And for what. This? Goofy ball or mess. I’d be disappointed in my self if I made/was told to make something like that.

No thanks. Adding 1v1 - 5v5 will cause players to demand a shift in balance focus towards small scale, which will inevitably hinder if not outright destroy any balancing attempts for large scale wars/outpost rush. Small scale and large scale PvP have very different and mutually exclusive balance goals. Let’s keep the balance focus on fixing Wars/Outpost rush balance.

Only how many people can participate in a war per day?
Nobody sub 60 is playing in wars.
This is bad.
The select few get to play in the wars and nobody else. This is bad game design.

That’s what Outpost Rush is for.

Outpost Rush is the answer there. And just open world fighting to contest zones.

Sub 60s not participating is not a huge issue, they’ll get to 60 eventually. Outpost Rush should have level brackets to allow everyone to participate at any level, though.

Let me see where I can agree here (way too many in the community try to shut down other perspectives in hopes their own gets/stays front of line).

I think a 1v1, 5v5 arena would be helpful to those seeking a PVP oriented outcome (in addition to Outpost Rush). I’m on board with it giving rewards and faction rep. If limited 1-2 generic arenas, it would be an effective stopgap for the utter lack of content and options we have around late game grinding.

I think World Events are a great idea (but not posted here) PVP on scale far broader than 50v50. That will take time, but that’s what I’m hanging in for now (though i’ve scaled back playtime to prevent an eff-it moment on my part).

What parts I’m personally not for (calls to have 20+ venues for an arena that soak 20% of the dev resources). The MOAR PVP crowd isn’t anywhere near 20% of the subscriber base. We can co-exist, but let’s be rational.

Even if we where to get arena’s or anything. There is so much that needs to be fixed and worked on. Resilient needs fixed, so many weapon passives and such flat out don’t work. IG Ice Storm doesnt work after today’s’ patch lmao.

Need some weapon balance passes, armor needs looked into.
If nothing was done, arena’s would be the same as wars. See nothing but gaxe/hammer/heals/heavy

Mesoz,

I agree with a lot of that. But the moderators aren’t wrong when they talk about a division of labor. The level designers that would make arena areas aren’t the people who work on economic or combat balance.

I, for one, would love to have an economics/finance discussion who whomever made the crafting recipes.
