a new pvp arena, maybe for summer update, a place where everyone can kill everyone, and can get balthazar factions. something like in tibia and runescape, i really miss that on guild wars. just imagine 100 ppl killing each other, the ultimate pvp experience

maybe, but there's a build against everything
there's only one interupter needed to pwn a caster so that shouldn't be a problem

Guild Wars PvP is structured around team play, this suggestion would not work in practice.

/signed, but no faction rewards. And make it a large area with many spawn points, so everyone gets dumped in at random. Random chaos ftw!

o yes everybody likes team-play doesn't they, a noob rushing through lava, nobody following calls (so it is quite like 1 vs 1) i'm sure every player hates to see him loose because of a teammate suiciding himself

Not sure if this is something I would come back to time and time again, however I do think it would make a nice addition to the arenas and I know a lot of people would love it

it's mindless, it's fun, and you don't _have_ to do it. It would make no sense to earn factions from it, but why not a 'king of the hill' title to display ingame ?

Theres a VERY thin line between mindless and pointless. While a free for all would be fun, warriors just be victorious everytime. Or you'd get everyone in the match just teaming up to gank the warriors.

Warriors are too good a damage dealer to lose this without tag teaming. What is your ele suppose to do? Or your Mesmer? They work on specific targets, not anything that might come there way. Necros would just cast SS on random targets while they all kill each other.

Thered just be no balance to it.

1 SS and W are pwned, 1 anti caster and SS are pwned, i interupter and anticasters are pwned, etc. and no builds are invinci, 55 hp monk for example is dead in 1 shatter enchantment...

so balance will be fine, but you wont have igay teams, wont have spiking teams,
team buils just wont exist, and most of the builds are weak without a decent party, so i still dont see what's the problem with the balance...

been suggested a couple of times b4 and again for sertin reason like ppl will only use sertin classes *cough paladin premade cough*, Guild Wars is a team based game, How will u make sure u even distrabut the balthazar factions reward for killing a person. You can't just give every one x amount of faction when somone dies or an equal amount of faction if u just hit somone once b4 they die otherwise u could run in hit everyone once wait til somone else kills them off and collect the reward. Only give it to only the last person standing which if that is the case what would be the point of doing it if u get nothing in return even if u try, or do like in fort aspenwood/jade quarry give the ppl who lost a little faction which would then just spawn a new race of afkers earning free balthazar faction..

The warrior just won't do anything. SS can't kill you if you do nothing. Warriors neither wins or loses.

Anticaster + SS. SS gets no skills off. Warrior joins in, kills SS with the anticaster, then kills the anticaster. Warrior wins.

Anticaster and anything that doesn't cast...

It wouldn't be even remotely balanced. You honestly think that if people started seeing 1 build as 'better' than the rest they wouldn't just instantly massacre that person to begin with? There is just no build that could win without either luck of the draw or the rest of the fighters decided to kill that Warrior so the rest of us stand a chance. Could you imagine the power of an MM? All they'd need is Flesh Golem, Dark Bond and then just random corpses and they'd end up with a small army. What are you gonna do? Bring Consume Corpse? How'd you know you'll even live that long...

Guild Wars is a team game, not just go in and just swing your weapon at anything that moves. Stop trying to make it like another game. If you want to do that just go play one of those games.

This arena sounds like a lot of solid chaos. Maybe have it as a holiday only arena so the novelty doesn't wear off.

As for those people saying that there should be no reward, remember we are talking about balthazar faction here. There is no problem if its easy to aquire. Maybe set up the baltzar faction to work as follows:
For ever person dead as a regular interval, those alive each get x balthazar faction.

Res every so often. Once someone hits 60dp, they are kicked out and another person joins to replace them at the next time interval.

If they only let a set number of people in at once, like 25 or 30, it would be fun. No faction rewards, and no elite skills can be on your skill abr if you enter. That would be fun

I Don't care about faction earning in this, as long as you can't earn very much. I Do like the idea of earning a title there though. It could be something similar to the Gladiator title, but only for that character rather than the account.

my guild does duels some times and one thing I've noticed is there no ULTIMATE DUELING BUILD. Since there are counters to enchantments, stances, hexs and conditions and that you can't relly be prepared for everything with 8 skill slots and 2 professions.

So this really is just random fun who cares about skill and grind? Aren't most games sposed to be played so you can have fun?

better make a 'last standing' game type. A free for all with the last surviving player getting a reward according to how many ppl he pwned.

The purpose of Guild Wars is to work together as a team inorder to accomplish goals, not running around like Rambo in a 'survival of the fittest deathmatch'.

Implementing such an arena would only contradict what GW is about.
