GrimRita Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Watching Snaves stream and a certain player has just confirmed a PvP map is coming in 3.2 - If its an Arena or 8v8 is unsure. Fingers crossed its NOT an April fools. May god - finally! Why didnt they just confirm it in their stream?!

Jimmajamma Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) isn't huttball technically an "arena"? don't jump yet. or do. i don't really care. Edited March 20, 2015 by Jimmajamma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariusCalera Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Seriously..another arena? You'd think that since it's been a year or more since the last time that PvPers got a new map that it would be something a bit more complex than a 4v4 death match map.

Chimerako Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hahaha I was happy at the start of the post then sad by the end. Sigh I wish I didn't hate arenas but I do. It really doesn't take any time to make arenas lol there aren't even any mechanics to speak of or objectives. They probably have a arena auto creator....

DarthOvertone Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Why would a new Arena map be disappointing? I'm glad to be getting something, anything, at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmbuddah Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Oh yay. A map for the worst gametype in the history of gamteypes.....If it were an 8v8, huttball arena, and a normal arena id be happy, cuz then its something for everyone, but just a normal 4v4 arena. Yawn.

JourrnoRush Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Whats sad is that they could just recycle the objectives from current warzones. Alderaan civil war makes no effing sense since we are playing after Alderaan happened. Novare coast was a good idea to tie in Explosive Conflict...not sure why they stopped doing that. The gree one was a nice tie in. Voidstar is kind of random, but again could be used for GSF I guess. However, thats it. They could redo all the objectives except have them on different planets. FOR EXAMPLE, Oricon, Corellia (maybe), Rishi, Yavin, etc. A lot of war out there and yet we are still living in before the war starts. They must have metrics that show that a lot of players do pvp. PVE and RP all do pvp at some point, even if its just to have fun losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailaurius Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 What surprises me is that this still surprises players. Again there will never be any other new PvP content in this game other than more warzones and arenas, and that's it. I mean that is it. There will never ever be anything other than that. This is absolutely the best that PvP will EVER get in this game. There will never be cross server queues, there will never be 8v8, 2v2, or 1v1 arenas, there will never be any openworld PvP content or any other new PvP content. Just more of the same cookie cutter warzones and arenas. Have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlightlySychotic Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Please don't be an arena, please don't be an arena, please -- Arena. Not interested. OK, fine. Just don't let it be Rishi. Save Rishi for another Huttball map. Rishi would be awesome for Huttball map. Can you imagine playing Huttball on the beach? That would be just so -- Yeah it is an Rishi Arena. VERY disappointing.

This is partially why they'll never reach the same amount of players WoW has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year will either make or break this game, and if they continue down their current path, I anticipate the game will go belly up by next spring. Which saddens me.

GrimRita Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 This is potentially a big year for SWTOR with the release of Episode 7. This year will either make or break this game, and if they continue down their current path, I anticipate the game will go belly up by next spring. Which saddens me. You can't make or break a game when its already flat on its face. Chat last night was extremely hostile - there's a ton of unhappy players out there right now. Even Zoist, which made the Dev team so moist is a small dailies area like Oricon. All the 'new' armour suits are reskinned current top gear. Many people were asking about PvP and the so called Lead Designer and the rest of the clown team just ignored them. They could have at least said 'hey! We're putting something into PvP - a new 4v4 map'. Yes the majority would be upset but at least those who like Arenas (unlike myself) would welcome something new in 12 months. With Episode 7 coming, the game will simply just turn in to a cash cow, milking what they can before the licence expires and isn't renewed in 2016/17.

cashogy_reborn Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 There should really only be 1 arena map. It should be a basic symmetrical design, with neither side having any kind of terrain based advantage. The 'unique locales' are cool for PvP maps, but arena specifically is about creating a competitive environment. Not to mention some players have poor performance on some maps. If this Rishi map has the same stupid 'haze' that has an inexplicable negative impact on FPS, a lot of people are going to be unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VixenRawR Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 *puts on ego cap* brah, yo, l2p, nub cool story bro ...okay now that I got that out of the way (Trying to talk like a 'tryhard" sin player) "Ranked arenas are skill that's why you suck, I have to rating on my sorc, sin, and powertech I am skilled. ... ..... yeah I am not a huge arena fan cause ^^^^^^^^^^^^ is all there is. Sin vs sin vs sin vs sin...my hatred sin is better than your hatred sin. What they aren't overpowered. Classes are different...apples to oranges right? Nukes(Sins) to Rocks (marauders) hardly a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow-Canadian Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 It makes me really concerned that they are going to make an arena map. Arenas in any game are highly competitive and PVP balance in 3.0 has been almost totally neglected. I bet there are giant elephants roaming the dev studio that have gone totally unnoticed. If Bioware is going to try push people into doing more arenas they need to address their embarrassing response at keeping the environment competitive or few people will even bother to see the new map.
