Varicite Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) They have one of these on Tatooine. Go ahead, check it out. It is jam packed with everyone else who is asking for this same feature. Or it's empty because nobody goes to Tatooine for anything ever outside of leveling up, it's hard to get to (what, 2-3 looooong loading screens on top of the travel time itself?), and requires organizing your own event every single time, since nobody want to go through the hassle of going there on their own. I see this suggestion pop up all the time, and it has since before the game was released. There's obviously more interest in it than you seem to be giving it credit for, regardless of your personal feelings about a deathmatch-style arena type of Warzone. I'd honestly be very surprised if BW wasn't already thinking of how they'd like to implement the feature in the future, as they've already mentioned that they know the community is interested more than once. No, it doesn't have to be exactly like WoW arenas, and let's be honest, SWTOR is already more balanced than WoW was during Season 1. My freshly dinged 70 frost mage could kill fully-decked out Gladiator warriors w/out breaking a sweat; my 50 Sorc wasn't exactly wiping the floor w/ full BMs when I dinged in this game.

Swidgin Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Simple Solution, have it offer no rewards or gear. Maybe a few titles and a ranking system. And srsly the ones who are like "NO NO ARENA'' are obviously the baddies who got stomped in whatever game they played before ToR. I for one would love to see some ranking so i dont have to group with people who arent skilled at games. I hate being dragged down by people that think they're good.

Izola Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I don't care if I get ZERO gear from it. I'm a PVPer and I want to know where I stack up with the best. I don't exspect EVERYONE to understand. I understand why some don't want it...........BUT TRUST ME top players do. And without them playing what do we really have?.... A game full of casuals and it means NOTHING if I beat a casual player in PVP WZs! Edited March 30, 2012 by Izola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agooz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 What in gods name is taking so long? BW make a 150m * 250m room and let us do the rest. Afraid your game can't stack up balance wise? I don't UNDERSTAND! No way. This will be the end of SWTOR. Arenas will completely destroy what is left of class balance. Sorcs will get annihilated and they will all QQ that they need a buff, just for starters. Then it's all downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenas is not and never was a show of skills. It's all about who bursts the fastest on the opposing team's healer/squishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read his first post "Death Match" may have caused a small knee-jerking reaction yes and "Arena" and "afraid your game cant stack up balance-wise" but serisouly such spots exist everywhere on a pvp server - people just have to organize themselves a little bit to get things rolling if they want to the lack of server specific forums hurts ofc but its possible BW making it offical will just lead to huge QQ due to balance issues - something I expect to see with R WZs in 1.2 anyways...

broganthomas Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I'd like to see smaller WZ options or some sort of Arena without gear rewards.. Right now the only teams that win are the ones that group bang(and with tons of CC) people, sorry but there is no skill in that.

Agooz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 You're talking about WoW Arena. This is SWTOR. It doesn't have to be that way, y'know. No I am not talking about WoW arena. I am talking about Arenas in general. It's not like it is not happening now. Go search for videos on Tatooine. Quite a few, with large gatherings. End result? Sorc got creamed in every single battle. It will open a floodgate of QQing on balancing classes based on which class destroys which class constantly in an arena. Then hell will break loose. LOL @ ^ The FAIL is strong with this one. ^ No I think you are referring to the noob suggesting the 150m * 250m pretending focus fire on a squishy is not 17k to 0k in under 4 sec. Yea, that's skills alright, especially with more than half the players with pull/jump lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broganthomas Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I don't get why some of these people are against it, however you DON'T have to participate in Arena. It's an option and not required, and as a paying member of this community I'd personally like to see an option for smaller WZ, or Arena. This does not need gear/rewards, so I really don't see a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that get a BAD rating in arenas....ALL OF THESE PEOPLE.......feel like they're opinions don't count as much when it comes to PVP anymore Bcuz there is proof that they are not good at it.

Some of us (true pvpers) like to actually FIGHT each other. Give us Death-Match/Arenas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about the domino effect it will create by THOSE who are participating and will feel that their class need to be rebalanced based on the results of the arenas. And there WILL be obvious and consistent results, none of which will have anything to do with skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balancing the game around the SMALLEST number of classes possible is the GREATEST way for OVERALL game Balance! You had a bad time in Arenas lost had a BAD rating and EVERYONE saw it and STOPPED listening to your opinions as a result. I am sorry for you but that shouldn't stop us from playing what we want to play. Edited March 31, 2012 by Swidgin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not need gear/rewards, so I really don't see a problem. The problem is that we end up affected regardless of whether we participate or not. From what I remember, complaints about class balancing happen most frequently in WOW from experiences in PVP. "This class is overpowered! This class is completely useless!" Have you ever heard that? And we all know what happens next: buffs and nerfs. And what happens next? MORE COMPLAINING ABOUT IMBALANCE! And the icing on the cake is now they are not only receiving complaints from pvper's, but also from those who pve, because the buffs and nerfs affect you even if you DON'T pvp. THIS is why we're against arenas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
