gregorythejedi Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'd like to see a WZ added that ends after an 8v8 battle. would be an interesting dynamic. no respawning, your team wins the fight or loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Multi-healer teams FTW. Sorry, no one is going to sign up for a one and done style match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpsmash Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Not worth the time spent at the loading screens, imo. If you want to have big endless battles, make something like a capture the flag, but with one or multiple flags and no "capping" the flag. Only hold it near the middle for more points.

random_kick Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Multi-healer teams FTW. Sorry, no one is going to sign up for a one and done style match. Are you kidding? I'd love to have quicker warzones. A quick deathmatch would be a welcome change of pace after a lengthy back and forth match of huttball or something.

Belly Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 With the way i've seem some players play the current warzones, i'm sure a scenario where the sole objective is to kill the other team would be welcome, for those players anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaroneus Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 this would be interesting. since 8 man teams could go down pretty quickly, make it a best out of 3 or 5 type deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGLYMRJ Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'd love to see some arena style matches. Only objective is to kill or be killed. 1v1 through 8v8. And more options is always a good thing. Don't like it? Don't play it... simple as that. The more content the better... hard to argue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ressources they could use to fix bugs, work on new classes (hey new level cap next year, maybe there are more things coming), abilities, etc. Edited July 11, 2012 by lpsmash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Philar Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Deathmatches can only work if they are timed and allow respawning, otherwise certain gimmick comps would have near 100% success rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revgd_freeze Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 All i can say is, free pass to the open world pvp area for death match battles. Can you imagine? "FIGHT ON TATTOOINE" oh that would be WIN!!!. Like an arena, but cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthOvertone Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I would also like to see a Death Match WZ, although I disagree with your 8v8 setup. I think it should be 6v6. The focus fire in 8v8 is just too strong. 6v6 would be much more manageable and put more of an emphasis on skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkerus Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) The wow community asked for a basic battle match that had 100 tickets on each side. They never, ever got it. It was asked about for the past 7 years. Finally, last year the devs admitted they didn't want a wz with no objective. That, in itself, is a BS reason because the objective is to drain the enemy of soldiers. That's kind of the point of every war. Kill the other guys so they don't have people left to fight. There is NO reason for the community to not get a battle type match like this. The only thing stopping TOR from getting this style of map is the devs being stubborn and refusing to oblige the community. I guarantee that a battle style map with 100 tickets on each side would be the most popular map by a large margin.

Postalz Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'd love to see some arena style matches. Only objective is to kill or be killed. 1v1 through 8v8. And more options is always a good thing. Don't like it? Don't play it... simple as that. The more content the better... hard to argue that. 1v1 through 5v5 would be sick. They have that feature in gw2 but I prefer swtor's combat + sci fi. I'm already bored due to lack of arenas. But players like the one who posted below you oppose them even if they don't need to participate and can choose ranked warzones instead. Sure balance is a problem, but it's always a problem. Maybe make it so 1% of top players per class get this cool new vanity item for playing in arenas. Also swtor PvP is missing things that are needed for a thriving community like a place near the fleet that allows dueling. You would go there to socialise, make friends, enemies, gain experience etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragamite Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'd like to see a WZ added that ends after an 8v8 battle. would be an interesting dynamic. no respawning, your team wins the fight or loses. Something like this style of match would require a kill count and a map that has multiple spawn sites not just one to be camped. So something like first team to make 30 kills wins. You could have a ship or space station map that is essentially circular to keep teams moving through the map and when you respawn it is farthest from the groups. I could find something like that entertaining but one kill at out i'd really not like that much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 They could just convert the Outlaws Den to this type of a map - allow it to be joined by players remotely like a WZ, but call it an "Arena". I liked the best of 3 or 5 idea too. The layout is actually pretty good for finding defensible positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurfer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 A simple side by side medium obstacle map where you have a timer and kill count with traditional respawns would be fun I think ( team with the most kills at end of match wins, minimum 20 kills or draw). In addition, arena style combat system with it's own queue would be a great addition for depth in pvp and offer more "rated style" competition to combat the low amount of people queuing for rated wz.

TheNotorius Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I hope it will be 4v4, or something different than 8v8. Anyway, there was already an interview where Daniel Erickson said that the new warzone is a "New type of gameplay", and "Kills count as points". It may be a good start.

Darth_Philar Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I've said this in other threads before, and I'll say it again here, if you want Arena (deathmatch) there needs to be some restrictions for balance purposes: 1. Only one bracket (4v4). 2. One of each base class is required (i.e. You cannot take 2 Maras, or a Mara and a Jugg, etc.). 3. All matches are timed and allow respawning. 4. Gear earned from Arenas cannot be statistically greater than gear earned from Warzones. If these restrictions are not included then arena will become just as big of a joke as WoW arenas are.
