Daoc Pvp Arenas?

[gohan]

at work an bored ect so decided the in thing to do would be to make a poll,
played guildwars alot last week and quite like it ... still prefer daoc just about but the best thing about guild wars is the fair fights (4v4,8v8) no posible adds cos u have ur private arena now i still think that daoc's PvP engine is the best thier is but the players are ***** ...... lets be honest ^^, you cant go on a run as solo or in a FG without getting adds, an no1 likes adds even the slightests - so why dont mythic create some sort of dueling arenas for 1v1 2v2 4v4 8v8 ect ect i think it would improve the game loads an it cud be extra so stillh ave all the towere an agramon but the set grps can fight without interuption as cud solo players just a thought and i know mythic would never do it cos they want the game to be 160 v160 v 160 (tho their servers could never handle it, relics raid on OF = server broke) but what do u lot think? wud it ruin the atmosthere of game or improve game play or both

Great idea but ppl would no doubt abuse the fact that u can all be on ts together giving each other a nice little PL to rr12 , i thought about this to maybe Goa could put into place some anti terrorist laws into it to stop mr abuse .

 

[gohan]

would be hard to PL in fair fights tho most the RP pl happens when u get grps like GA runnign a FG at 11am every day of the week ganking solo/duo

Arenas as instances would rock.

1v1 instances, 2v2, 4v4, fg v fg.

Maybe lower the RP reward and/or add another reward system to prevent RP farming, also have a cooldown on the instances, roughly 30 RL minutes.

this is not quake #care!

 

[Coldbeard]

more or less happy with current situation

 

[Pera]

No Arenas. I don't thonk the game needs more/new zones because it would simply divide the population in an already struggling game. I would like the idea of "forced" solo fights in the "existing" zones better than creating new zones. For example if a solo player engaged in a combat with another solo player no one can attack either player until one of them dies. Or maybe put a timer on on it so that if a solo player engages another solo player no one else can attack them for 10 seconds after one of them dies.

 

[gohan]

but that still wouldnt stop 4v1 or people adding on FG fights, good idea tho wud lvoe to see somthign like that implemented

 

[pip]

Wouldn't work due to realm ranks and diffrent character set ups but i'm game...with whorelock

 

[Alachbar]

Not sure I like the idea of Arenas. Some kind of "/groupduel challenge" would be sweet tho. So you could try out the skill of fellow realmgroups. Without any reward ofc. Well even that might dry out the frontiers...hmm....maybe not a good idea afterall

/Vain

 

[Andrilyn]

This game is balanced (atleast Mythic claims that) from a Realm vs Realm perspective, therefor Arena's wouldn't work and won't ever be implented atleast not the FG vs FG arena's.
Though we have BG's and that is somesort of an arena I guess.

Im game then with 48 Dementia specced vampiir kkthnx xD

 

[GReaper]

This is even worse than Xxcalibur's polls.

 

[CstasY]

Aye lets turn DAoC into GW, great work.

 

[Straef]

Are you upset for not getting to make the poll?

Anyway, if you'd introduce arena's it would take away the fight for getting mez off/finding enemies before they find you, unless you'd instance an entire zone or something, and make people spawn at random spots.

 

[Tristessa]

Just make people get flagged by their enemy so adders can't get RPs. I highly doubt plenty of people would continue to add just to *help their realm* etc etc. If anything, they would leave the fights alone then, just in case their realm mate dies so they can attack the half-dead enemy after

 

[HuZMoR]

god not another poll

Aye... 10 FGs of Albs making a race for the RPs vs 1 FG of enemies. Minstrels always getting a spot...

Finally I could have some Mario Kart feeling in DAoC. Wheeled mounts instead of horses and here we go.

I support this idea.

 

[Glacier]

First one to find me a positive, non sarcastic Manisch post gets a strong rep.. Come on fishboy, smile mate!

 

[Killder]

It's Realm v Realm NOT Group v Group.

Daft idea - one of the few things that would make me seriously consider cancelling.

 

[Honza]

wud it ruin the atmosthere of game or improve game play or both

Yep, it would ruin the atmosphere of the game... Realms would lose sense of existence, game would lose any kind of realisticness and followingly realms themself would lose coherency. Alliances would lose sense and would break as well as guilds that are able to fill more than FG.... There would be just 8people guilds that would finally vanish and it would be the end of DAoC.

This game is based on war among 3 realms. And it's RvR conception - you fight for your realm, you fight for glory of your guild and your own honour. What honour would be having RR12 uber-best-allpwning-char for fighting in same small padded cell

Long live the RvR.

Imo lets face the facts ...
Agra hasnt hit the target yet... there is almost No spam ON Agra Isle....95% of the kills happen on the way to Agra..be it from stealthers or fgs that gank small grps and fighting stealthers (since u kill us when having nice fights...expect to be added when u fight fgs...an eye for an eye)

Also i dont think we need more rvr zones...rvr is atm so vast that peeps dont find enemies all over and just need to go where most peeps do to get some rps(decent or not)

Special arenas or instances r not the solution...we r not WoW or any other lol game

But i think we can try what i was thinking the day before (but i think many have thought of it). We can set a fairly large (for soloers) space in rvr where fgs dont go and generally action is low. There u r encouraged to come solo and roam to engage other peeps that came for the same reason...with the element of surprise existent.

In the 5 mins i thought of it the area E of nGed seemed a nice place...E bridge and all the narrow strip of land leading to the ocean (S of the small cliff and N of the hills with the mobs).

Maybe if we can agree on something like that we could try it...since i always hear "i really like to solo but cant thesedays" (i feel the same and 99% of the time i grp is cause i have to make a decent rp/hour too)

So i will w8 replies in this thread or if it doesnt get noticed..maybe repost it as a new thread

PS:keep spam,whine, and other sh*t out of the thread plz

PS2: plz..no vamps, cone spamming poping banshees/valkyries, 10 brittles up casters and mercs/bms (damn..they r almost unkillable by sb if well equiped)

 

[gohan]

id be well up for tha BUT u know killsimba and co. or pip. an co or aim an co. will coem zerg it up an still ruin it for all :< there cum themselfs ove 5v1 so i hate to think of the state of their screens whne the hear theres 30 soloers all in 1 area that at least 20 5 v1 omg i think my balls just poped irl

 

[Lethul]

I bet 5 bucks that if your english teacher saw that, she would cry.

Nice idea, but won't work because some idiot will always come with group to enlarge his e-peen.

I head that many peeps will come storming and kill all...well..true...but we can always whine and call the names on the forums..and when they come again...we can all from all 3 realms gang bang them
We could also have the Jerk Of The Week award for some of them...

 

[Wazkyr]

we lack the "disable polls on the forum" option tbh
