OK, thinking out loud here, but what if they made 12v12 a little more like team arenas, or randoms, and if you won, you could keep the same team to go on to the next match? Maybe after the victory, you would get a little window (like before you map out of a group) asking if you would like to stay in, that way you dont have 4 people leave after 1 victory if they are out of time or whatever.


Also what if they had some kind of factional rank? Kinda like HA, but with different emotes, IDK, might make it pretty fun to get together, but to avoid people beeing leetist and rank whoring everyone like they do in HA, keep it to a max of 4 man teams going in.

IDk a few thoughts, what does everyone think?

I'd like to be able to put a 12 man team together. Or like in Team Arena you could just put 9 out of 12 or whatever and the remaining open slots would be filled with people that entered alone.

And keeping the same team would be good, just like Team Arena.

Oh and I'd like to see some type of penalty for quitting early. Perhaps not being allowed to re-enter the mission for 30 minutes or 1 hour. The leavers REALLY spoil things. Not cool.

Yeah, I like the peanalty idea, but I think that the 4 man team thing would be good also, to prevent 80% of the players trying to get into 10% of the groups. A big reason a lot of people stop playing HA is because its not uncommon to wait for 30 min to an hour for a team to form (assuming your running a serious build, not just a r3+ group or random PUG)
and if your a random arena type going into 12v12 against a 12 man formed team, its probably not going to be pretty.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Penalize leavers, leave the rest alone.

definetly.. people keep askin for it to be like other areas, why? we have those other areas spice it up with something new. Personally the alliance battles was the most fun ive had on this game from a pvp aspect, could never get into the games on the battle isles and the guild doesnt have gvg everytime i want a fix.
