DAoC Arena

[K0nah]

Rocket Arena ala Quake3 for those familiar. Yes, DAoC Deathmatch. No wait! It makes sense honest! Let me explain...

Ok we all know how stale Emain can get. Seems to me an Arena style add-on/patch would help the sometimes mind-numbing tedium of being ganked by grps bigger than your own or zerg wars/marathon wall camping sessions. The idea:

You port your hand-picked 8grp into a gladiator style arena where u can vote on which "map" or zone u want to fight in (5-7 diff ones to choose from) smaller than the BG map so not too much time wasted finding each other, but big enuf to offer some variety.

One on ones catered for in a similar manner. Select which classes your willing to fight, casters v casters or free-for-all etc.

Ok let the commence!

Stop zerging Emain, problem solved ( ; Odin's, Sauvage, Hadrian's, Pennine... all been excellent RvR grounds past few weeks.

 

[old.Odysseus]

Love the idea konah

However, arranging a spot over IRC with some enemies might be just as useful (just make it a secluded place).

 

[ironheart]

RIGHT ON

LETS START PROGRAMMING

THIS WOULD MAKE MY DAY, finally we could see what realm is gimped an this would be an ideal way to see what player doesn't know shit about the game even when he has a LVL 50 character.

MAIL MYTHIC this should be done

It really wouldn't be that hard for them, picture this.

New spot added to the new RvR dungeons or even Darkness Falls, at the bottom of one of these dungeons they could add another portal, you go through and zone into a new area, a huge coliseum. They could even come up with some nonsense story for it if they wanted to, say its run by a demonic evil for his amusement gladiator style or whatever, but anyway in practical terms players would find themselves in the sloping stands overlooking 1 large arena, the stands around this arena would be neutral so you cannot attack another player nor can you cast into the area itself, but of to one side of the arena would be an npc you can click on, whilst selecting the npc you type /duel <name> and a message box is sent to the person you wish to duel (who must be in the stands) saying '<name> wishes to challange you to a duel accept - decline'. When the opponent selects accept they are put on the waiting list for the arena and when its there turn they would be transfered inside, just like when selecting a gatekeeper.

All buffs are automatically lost when entering and they would appear facing each other far enough away to allow maybe 1 spell to be cast before its possible to close distance, whatever would be fair.

It could be done quite easily whilst still not upsetting the real RvR game and without needing another server.

Fg vs Fg

Well you can already try arrange a meeting on IRC for two 8 people fg.

I'd be really up for it, many times been bored at zergy emain and wished something like that could be done.

If it's mid vs hibs port to hadrian (so none have to walk), if it's hibs vs albs port to Odin, and albs vs mids port to... hum wait better find another place for you guys

 

[appollo creed]

Albion, you will go on my 1st whistle

Hibernia, you will go on my 2nd

GLADIATOR'S

 

[sorusi]

giv lg!!

Yeah and place Armours and stuff so you can time and bring some skill to this game


oh and bunnyjumping ofcourse!

 

[old.Odysseus]

I love the idea, the ultimate test for balance, cheats and exploits in this game.

(Yes, we all know that some ppl hate losing so badly and love being uber so much that they _will_ cheat).

 

[old.Nol]

...I am picturing all the new nerf threads...

...I am picturing all the new nerf threads...

lol

But still, would be brilliant testing yourself one on one or team vs team against any other opponent/class/level

Would also help settle a few disputes and arguments around here.
