WildStar: All About PvP Arenas

The latest What is WildStar article has been published on the official site. This time Jen Gordy talks about PvP with specific regard to arenas as they will be released in the game. Arenas will be included in the beta version of the game as soon as it opens in the near future.
WildStar will have 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 Arena match sizes. Arena teams will be formal teams (a team is created in order to play in matches that earn your team rating points). Players can belong to one team for each match size.
One of the biggest differences you’ll see in WildStar Arena gameplay is that our Arena match is not a single elimination match. Each team shares a set amount of respawns (based on the match size). To win an Arena match, your team must get the opposing team to use all of their respawns and then defeat any remaining living opponents.

PvP arenas...
scratch this one off my play list.
lol how rediculous . You haven't even played the game yet. There are tons of other features aside from just Arenas. Keepin a close eye on this one !
Good riddance...probably too challenging for you anyhow.
Just because every car has similar features doesn't mean that Ferraris are copies of Model Ts. Progress requires failure and refining.
Or maybe just maybe he doesnt enjoy arenas.
God forbid.

Exactly, I've had my fill of arenas and raiding from WoW.

There is no challenge in WOW style gear based arenas. You are as good as the gear you are wearing.

^^Exactly^^ When we ran as a group and were a very high arena team, the only two things we had on anyone was our gear was better and we had the right group make up. We could put any 1 or 2 people in our group and carry them for points. There's no real skill involved, imo, and it gots old fast just defeating people over and over and over.

Always hating on instances in MMOs! Open worlds, open PvP, territory control and housing please. More persistence, more fun.

If I want to play some 2v2 or 4v4, I'll play a FPS. What is "Massively" about this instanced PvP garbage? It's a joke.
PvP is a huge part of today's MMOs. Until I start seeing some innovation, I'm done delving into the same old same old.
Classes' strengths and weaknesses really come out in an arena setting. No longer can class imbalances (or overpoweredness) be overlooked due to zerg mechanics. I hope the devs are up for the challenge of keeping it balanced because Blizzard still struggles with that and they have been doing arena pvp since 2007.
No bitchers.
Uhh... what?
So many clueless people here. This is 1/4 of known PvP options in game. WildStar also has Battlegrounds, Warplots (customizable PvP fortresses), and owPvP.
Except only you don't know enough
Actually we know enough to know that it is WOW 2.0.

what a comment..too challening. well my opinion is any game now and future comes out depending on gear too much not skill is out of list any game wich have outdoor pvp areas of map like warhammer had out of list. automaticly.
and also i read this game will give that 1 % hardcore raider people the best gear of the game so not so happy about that either.
so it's 50 / 50 for me and i am going to give it a go no matter what i fear.
Finally, somebody is making a "proper WoW clone", meaning, creating a game that has all the WoW features (seamless world, raiding, arena and BG PVP) + some more (housing, GvG warplots, action combat, sub-professions etc.)
To all of you who are dismissing a game based on fetaures the game does have and not based on features the game doesn't have, keep trolling some more.
Honestly, if they really deliver what they keep announcing, I can not see how this game could fail.

The only people trolling you are the devs with comments like..
"We want to make anything but WOW".
The joke is on you bud! lol

Being an action combat game with housing, differentiates Wildstar from WoW more than enough.
And what makes you think that myself or many others, don't want to play WoW 2.0 in space, that has loads of new and upgraded features?
