What's an arena without a crowd? How awesome would be that if you could spectate other matches while you were Queued? Learn tactics Gauge the competition Familiarization with possible teammates (solo Q) Spectate (pretty awesome imo) Something to do while in Q

Long and narrow asymmetrical map (not a graphical mirror image and not so wide that flanking is too easy) Domination style play - linear nodes along the path NPCs (silver elites) guard the nodes after taken and announce to the operation when they are under attack. You can add the moba style escort NPCs to each capture point. This way stealth capping is possible but your team still needs to get the npcs there to relieve the guard. battlefield rezzes enabled, captured respawn points, spawn on group member? Urban warfare setting on Corellia would be my pick

As a healer myself.... I used to forget to heal myself.

This may help some. Three Guardians eviscerated me last night in ranked on my Merc Bodyguard. The dps on my team killed their healer... but then again they didn't need it with FD\ED. It's over the top to say the 2 minute CD is balancing its effectiveness. You only need it once per match in ranked.

The PVP Community is always asking for more content but not being very specific of what they want. Something like this may inspire some more war driven content and open match pvp areas outside of WZs. If the PVP Community has its own space (not a row of vendors and 3 terminals) I believe a more consistent and collaborative group of players can contribute to the future of what we want. Right now PVP seems to be an afterthought and I believe its because of the community's lack of a constructive view and voice.

The default pvp channel is fleet only. Not many people congregate on fleet due to lag and general spam, one reason mission terms were put in WZs. We can't duel there and it's not a dedicated pvp area. I think there's some good possibilities in having a separate space: immersion, displays of the rewards for ranked, place for people who are in pve guilds to match up with others. I'm sure there are more creative possibilities than I can come up with, which is why I posted. Maybe some other peoples ideas?

With the expansion coming in August for Guild Ships and Galactic Strongholds the PVP community on each server will become more spread out. I welcomed the change having the PVP terminals in the WZ (They are still not in arena) and the coming addition of the turn in console. Personally I am not a fan of the fleet and propose you give the PVP community a place, instanced or not, where we can gather: to duel, group up for wz, ranked, etc. Bring some life to the starter planets we rarely return to or never been as non force users. Korriban and Tython would be my choice. Muster Center (PVP Lobby ~give it a neat name.) Having it a start area or linked to all starter areas would also give new players a chance to get in touch with their server's PVP community.
