people need to stop trying to force other games hand in try to change things..its what makes game diff from each other and unique
dueling..just what this game needs everyone outside of town dueling all day instead of the pvp battle area being full or busy..kinda reminds me of another game?
Putting in arenas wouldnt be forcing other games hand, since elder scrolls series has arenas. Hell, one of the elder scrolls games is called Arena.
Ya they could have an arena ingame that has scheduled events during certain ingame hours and it wouldn't be instanced so it wouldn't take away alot of action in Cryodiil and it would be in a Colosseum with places for seating and viewing the event. Players could sign up for the days events and there would be a Colosseum in each alliance area. You could have it Gladiator style where there would be different numbers of contestants and different types of scenerios. This would really add to the game in so many ways.
People really lack an imagination these days, sigh.
Originally posted by Ehllfhire They already stated in the may 1st interview there will be no duelling, arenas, or battlegrounds, as all would kill off cyrodil pvp.
How do you guys feel about this? No doubt a lot of people requested, but I'm not so sure. If this was implemented today, it wold be a horrible idea. ESO is not balanced around 1 v 1 or even 3 v 3.
I don't know if I want them going down the path of strict balance either. I know a lot of PvE only people will take issue even though there are a lot of pve changes on the way that will effect pvp, increasing physical damage for example. This sword cuts both ways.
At the same time I LOVED WoW arenas. I played thousands of matches and would probably be all in in ESO arenas too. uhg... what do you guys think?"
I responded to the Battleground discussion thread for TESO with this post and also wanted to post it here as I consider this to be a very important topic of discussion and something Zenimax needs to seriously consider in the coming days. Adding these 2 features to the game will help Zenimax and players improve PvP much faster, more effectively, and much more efficiently then simply addressing player feedback in Cryodiil which is a highly contested area that is either overrun and out of balance in favor of a particular alliance and/or players simply are too overwhelmed and intimidated by it. This is a very important endgame feature of TESO that really needs to be much more thoroughly tested then it was during the actual testing phases.
Zenimax needs to add DUELING and ARENAS first and foremost! Why do you ask? Well..
Templates need to be thoroughly tested and balanced so there are more then a few to several optimal templates so as to add the air of anticipation and excitement as there will be more mystery and suspense to every encounter as it should be in large scale battles or even small skirmishes. This also improves player interest in TESO as there are more viable options for players concerning class/template choices and the evolution of their character and the game in general.
DUELING allows players to engage each other safely within the confines of their own realm/alliance so players can learn, adapt, and help improve class/template balance
ARENAS are also very important as they allow players to fight 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 5 vs 5, Keep defense vs Keep siege, etc...so small group encounters are optimized as any PUG ZERG can be taken out by an organized ZERG comprised of small but very effective, cohesive groups working together and assisting the overall ZERG
DUELING AND ARENAS allow players to concentrate on class/template balance for overall PvP balance in Cryodiil campaigns. This part of the game needs to be addressed and optimized a long while before Battlegrounds is even remotely considered. This discussion is wayyyyyy to early in the game.
This game is headed to console by the end of this year so there is another good reason to hold off on this debate and allow the players/developers to work together in the coming days so everyone can enjoy a much more polished, balanced, and optimal release of the console version of The Elder Scrolls Online!

yeah its weird
Honestly I don't think ESO should add arenas i think it would hurt the world PVP
BUT
out of all the MMOs out there Elder Scrolls is the only one with a legitmate lore reason to have it in game. I mean I loved fighting in the arean in Oblivion.

z,
Seems you may be just getting your wish

Zenimax wants to salvage the game.
How do you salvage a dying game with a big name?
You bring facets of the successful franchise to the game ASAP!
ARENAS!
