Free for All Arena!

Ok, this idea that i thought of, in my opinion, would greatly improve current pvp action. The concept is simple: An all out pvp 1 vs. all arena.
Not only can u get exp from this, but also prizes.
The map in which we would use is is much larger than a normal pvp map., more or less the size of a guild hall, or an explorable area, such as talus chute for example.Also, maybe like 30 players or so can fit in 1 map, with them of course being randomly placed and assigned per map, to prevent teaming.
This does not mean teaming is discouraged though, so be aware of who you may trust as an ally or a friend.

I was thinking of several possibilities of scoring. One is that, for example a match lasts 20 minutes and whoever gets the most kills wins.Or, it is simply a "last man or woman standing" game, where the last person gets a suprise chest that leaves a special surpise inside, an item, maybe a little money, or simply just an explosion that instantly kills you.


Also, in terms of dying, once u die u get dp obviously, and u get teleported back to the place where u started the map,or a random place. There are no special rezzing places, because ppl can just hang out there and wait for respawning ppl and get easy kills that way.
For every kill that u get, either u can get a small amount of faction points or maybe some spare change, like 5 coins or something. A small reimbursement, but i think it would be much more fun teqhnique of making money than farming, even though ur profits are so small.


There would also be new titles, such as unstopabble monster(for the crazy lunatic who goes on killing sprees), King of the hill( for the person with like 1000 or so times left standing last), or other things as well. Also, these arenas i guess would be designated as ONLY LVL 20 ARENA, so that weaker players lvl wise cant be taken advantage of. Every1 must be the same lvl, so that it is more fair.


Ok, this is just a rough sketch of the idea, please feel free to post ur comments and potentiel improvements and if u support it. This is not a petition btw, at least not yet. I want to develop the idea more first.

Nice idea! I think this would work best as a last man standing kind of Arena, so teaming up is even harder.

Id say, an arena that involves 20 players in. The whole match could last 5 minutes, and whenever you die, you respawn after 30 seconds. Or, it may be a bit rough, but it could be like, there will be a few maps, and whenever you get in, theres no limit time, so theres much faction to get around. But there could be a possiblity to leave. Up to like 20 people per map. Kinda fun, sorta deathmatch like, every1 counting on themselves



/signed for "deathmatch"-like matches/arenas, but with more people, and everyones alone. Team arenas and random arenas would then be called team deathmatches.

Also, there could be an armor guy or a weapon guy who could give u some nice looking items, but they would be customized of course.

Excellent Idea I would do that PvP alot another good idea would be huge war with hundreds of players in each army fighting for control of a town or area-just my thought I like pvp but there arent enough people to attack

Inepitude, clumsiness, interrupts, energy surge, enchant removal, distortion, heavy degen skills, those kind of things would really give someone a hard time 1vs1.

why? so you could win 100% of the time with a cripshot ranger?
/notsigned.

However, having a team-free-for-all (4v4v4v4) might make things interesting. Sending 30 offensive builds to fight each other is as far away from "fair" as you can possibly get.

I think you guys are forgeting something i posted originally, that techincally teaming is ALLOWED. It would be hard, because how do u really know if u could trust the player ur teaming with u.Also, u would also have to consider builds with possible alliances.

1 on 1 builds wouldnt necessarily work either. For example, lets say that this mesmer would completely pwn people. I think this is unlikly but lets assume this for the current situation.Two players that he formally killed could then kill him, or even one could kill him.

Because the of the balance of GW, and because there is no BEST build, there isnt the problem of 1 class dominating. There is always a counter build, so be aware of who u mark as the "uber" class for each situation.

Hey lacasner (btw i thought u gave up that name with u know what) . Anyways i love the concept and i think with a little tweaking this could really work. 1 thing though, when u win i think that u should get fame, just like in HoH cuz with the 4vs4vs4 idea its almost the same (please noone flame me for that last statement, just my opinion). Other than that i love it and would definetely like to take part in one.

mantra or persistance + crippling anguish + conjure phantasm + kiting = a stalemate or win vs anyone without hex removal which seems non existant in random forms of pvp where anyone can join.

Perhaps they should lose to you then?
It's not like people complain about taking too much damage and being unable to heal it because they didn't bring a heal.

My biggest complaint in PvP is the people I'm teamed with. I hate people who complain more than those who gloat on the other team.

Well actually they both suck. I just hate sore losers more.

A free for all would be great cause I can deal with ungraceful winners, but sore losers...its just a game people.

Sounds a little too random to me. How many people do I have to stand back from? And I'm not thrilled by the bonus to people who avoid combat as long as possible (just don't die, right?).

Besides, DP in that would be insanely unfair.

Wouldnt need Dp in a FFA... When you die your out... Surely

And mesmers with their low armour may be targeted early...

Touchers would be enemy number 1....

I really like this idea

I AGREE!
dp is so unfair for this, and like cid said when u die ur out, i agree also

Noone has yet commented on my fame idea when u win. Maybe if u come in first u get like 5 fame second is 3 fame third is 1 fame.

Also I think the map should be big yes not like a normal arena, but i think it should be like a large stadium, just a big circle or oval so there is nowhere to hide :P (all u cowards out there). This way people can attack anyone at any time. So in the end the winner would definetely win, no questions asked.

Also maybe this should be an observable match like HoH, since, if my idea works, u would get fame for winning. I'm sure there would be lots of people wanting to watch 30 lvl 20s kill each other. I know i would.

Wish i could sign twice,

This sounds cool, but I think most would be a warrior..or a mm and stand back untill there are corpses and no one is around (if they can find a spot with corpses and no one just happening to be around ).

Hmmmmm...Hero vs Hero in nightfall sorta sounds like that...but then again thats just a name. It could be anything...

While this does sound really fun, it also seems easily exploited to me.
Here's an example: A W/R boosts the hell out of his health with Endure Pain, and possible Defy Pain if they want to fight. He then places Edge of Extinction, and watches as everyone else dies from fighting eachother. The warrior could hide the spirit in a corner or something too.
Not only that, but MMs would have a pretty sick advantage.

/signed as long as they balance it somehow. Ban ranger spirit use?

MM's would suck because there would be no corpses.Unless
u think that once u die ur corpse just stayes on the ground is

Lol mm could just run around waiting for corpses , but anyway .. I think this is a great idea , something Guildwars needs. The rewards could be like new type of items just for that arena .. which would encourage people to play there ... also I think it would be awsome with different settings like :

- survivor/last man standing - where the last man standing wins

- Killerinstinct - The one with most kills wins

- Assassin - you get a random person which you are going to kill , after each kill you get a new one

- Virus - arena where 1 enemy spawn with a virus and the objective is to run away from virus .. if you get caught you have virus yourself , last man standing.
