The Arena!!!!

I think that A-Net should make an arena, where everyone joins in a single town, where you can talk, buy stuff, the normal city/outpost thing. BUT!! There is a portal in the back of the town where you can walk in, and join a battle with hopefully 30-50 people on each side. You get put in a base, set on one side of a large battlefeild, and the goal is to take control, or defend, a large castle in the middle of the arena, which hopefully will be about as big as the Pre-searing area just outside of ascalon. I'm thinking that you can take control of tribuchets and ballistaes to blow down chunks of wall or the door to infiltrate the keep. There should be a chance to instantly rez at your teams base, so you dont have to wait for your team to die or for someone to rez you. at the top floor of the keep, there should be a lvl 60-100 keep lord that you have to kill to capture the keep. If you kill the keep lord, all people on the defending army dies, and the walls and door are repaired. Also, if someone quits, someone waiting to join a fight should be able to take his/her place. I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME ADDITION TO GUILD WARS!!!!

that would be total chaos, and ill bet you anything the day that comes out some people from a big guild would team up, make a 15 man team of experienced players and roam around farming faction or whatever.

good idea but abuseable.

Heh, I guess, but I was thinking that was the point, that experienced players that beat the game, not just ascended, would teleport to that area instead of droks forge. the only way, I would think, to get in and out is by teleporting.

sounds like knight online

I'm wondering, should I put this thread all over the other fansites so that arenanet sees it?

Do whatever you want to get your point out.

I believe thats a great idea. It sounds fun and exciting
I've always liked largescale battles like battlefield 2 and Starwars Battlefront.

It's get my adrenaline goin. Forever...

Choas is cool. Mass faction...but too much i think. Unless each kill becomes like 1 faction.

There was an idea similar to this a while back. Dunno where its gone now but I always supported the whole Guild WARS!!! bit. Its just that we dont pay (monthly) for the bandwith and server storage, so it may be a bit difficult to implement.

fun idea, you could make it a tournament only you dont win faction but cash.

and a horse.

Nice idea, but it wouldnt be fun, ever w/mo and his fiery dragon sword would be running about shouting "HEAL ME STUPID MONK" and attacking random things.

Be better if it was added as an extra option for gvg or tournament play, where teams can be organised.

always the W/Mo bashing

note that not every W/mo is a bloody idiot
some actually have brains.

just like every class has its morons.
just coz we take all the damage doesnt mean we're dumb

thanks

I think that is a really good idea.. but would it not lag a ton? I like the aspect of *war* because it is called guildwars, but I think that Anet would have to inplement a way of keeping order within the map, because if they didnt, it would be hard to pick targets. etc. And the entire battle would take a really long time because there we so many people, and every team would have alot of monks.

If you think it's a good idea, help me spread the word! If arenanet sees a lot of this, they might include it in a fall update, or in the next chapter or sumthin... I still think that this would be an awesome addition to GW

anyone here?

Maybe just buy WoW and go play Battleground there

i want this to happen.
ive been posting similar ideas on other threads.

Sounds like good fun. I support it.

Sounds fun, but sounds like a steal on Lineage 2's seige system...I like the organized play of the current places in GuildWars, but hey it sounds decently fun. Seriously doubt that Anet would be able to handle it and keep the game free that way...I honestly wish you luck camaigning, and if it never happens, click here ----> www.lineage2.com <----- join a clan, get leveled and seige some castles

Basically sounds like the Frontier on DAoC.

Guildwars was created to be different than the other online games of this style, thus not adding a battleground like that

Just bumping this up =P

Cool idea but imagine the lag, it would be insane.

Now a bunch of people against an entire charr army would be fun.. hmm maybe i should go back and do that mission where you have to run from all the charr.

i support it. although anet already has problems with lag. mass chaos!
