Crazy idea...won't ever happen. But damn would it be cool. Take say a really large open area say like the part north of the forge in FoW. Line about 75-100 players on each side and have an all out braveheart style battle. charge each other and have a deathmatch kind of ordeal. Basically an insanely massive PvP where both teams line up in formations and charge. Maybe the Kurz and Lux can do it to finally settle the damn score. I know the logistics and the programing would never work but could you imagine charging into a wall of other players with 99 other players behind you. Bad ass i say.

Flame away i always think its funny what you guys can come up with.

I think GW2's Mist Battle will be what you are looking for.

From what I've heard and seen, this kind of PvP will take place in GW2. The whole idea of "World PvP," where interaction between two whole populations of people will determine benefits to a certain world seems similar to your concept.

If it could be made to work, yes it would be pretty cool. On a logistics side, say hello to AoE fire Eles, Splinter/Barragers, PBAoE gankers, Spirits, traps, etc.

As a final note, it'd be pretty awesome if you could somehow coordinate a wall of frontline Sins to shadow step all at once.

Indeed, something of such epic proportions would not only result computers imploding but the destruction of teh internetz as well.

Now, we all wouldn't want that, would we? Best that we stick to AB's.

Yeah, that's what I've wanted since the Factions preview showed how fun bigger battles could be.

The problem isn't so much the lag (which would be bad but manageable - 200 people is about what an outpost district can hold) but that skills aren't balanced for this. It was the Factions preview which showed how broken it was that minionmasters had no cap on number of minions and that some skills had no range limitation, and I'm sure an even bigger battle would show more broken skills.

Another problem is getting 200 players together for a match.

But I'm sure it would be fun.

The Mists PvP thing mentioned above *should* look something like what your suggesting ^.^. Or at least I hope...
AB was AMAZING when factions came out and still is but to have a battle of those proportions you would have to have randomised parties, therefore possible lack of healers (as if theyd change anything xD) or dammage dealers and therefore an unfair ballance. Imagine a giant RA match where the other team all have some kind of overpowered build.

Would be amazing though!

This is something that I have always wanted in GW (and lag is no excuse just update the relic that you call a computer and get a high speed internet connection if you still run dial up you should not use the internet).


With the current setup in GW GvGs are just to small of a battle to be considered a guild vs guild it is more a guild squad vs G squad and I think everyone will agree.

epic scale battles would be sooooo cooool that last for hours to days.

even have some battles with players vs a huge NPC army that is trying to overrun a city or something. and have a global announcement calling all players to defend drolks or something.

LMAO Wat kind of joke is this?

A bunch of Iway Warriors with a bunch of SPIRITS?

Pets are everywhere, Minons flood the land. Jeez!

Assuming perfect condition 100 minon masters with pets! => 1000 Minons => Total of 1200 creatures => Holy crap, go fuk yourself!

Its called "Joke thread" for a reason.
And it's also called "Kill the minion master" instead of being an idiot and attacking the minions.
Then all the minions just run buck-wild

Yay GW2.

WTB new computer. Must have no lag.

But seriously, this would be cool, which is why it's going to be in GW2 in some form.

From what I gather AB was originally supposed to be like this. It would be kind cool if there was a Death Match option for it though. Serious balances would have to happen first.

That would be so funny to watch. But instead of 100 on each side.... 1 million!
If lag can be removed, that would be sweet as hell to watch, even if it was just NPCs fighting.

I know the solution!!!!!!!
When in a formation, a special effect triggers that limits AoE damage to 5 foes.
That solves the problem and = battle on!

I think the game would be a bit fun if you could get ganked by hidden players while you're out doing minor quests. Oh, the suspense! The anger! It'd give me the incentive to play an Assassin.
