PvP event Grand Melee

burndownxmas · December 2016

I have noticed we really have a lack of pvp events, plenty if pve events and rightly so for a pve based game, but outside of 2x glory and solo Dom really nothing for pvp, this got me thinking for a good idea on a pvp event; The Grand Melee, where adventurers far and wide come to test their mettle. In this event we could open up a few new match types such as 5v5 elimination or even 1v1 duels, also limited time new maps for pvp. During this event participating in the pvp scene you could earn the normal cosmetic, mount, and pet prizes such as other events. Now this next part will be the part most people will probably like, and that is how this event will cater to those outside of a 4k IL; during this event before you can queue you will speak to the event master located in Protector enclave where they will ask you what gear set you wish to go into battle with after choosing from one of the predesignated sets, after this you may queue for battle, now a little more on the battle sets of choice they will follow the traditional duelist and executioner sets (but if the devs feel brave and wanna make a few more for variety that'd be cool too) these sets will come with no enchantment slots and will outfit all of your character's equipment slots weapon and off hand included (note this will also include artifact slots and for the sake of the event those will be removed too). Next for the event and the last piece of the pie during this pvp event the boons, insignias, as well as mounts (yes all battle will be without mounts usuable) will be disabled on the pvp maps.

Cool idea. If people weren't so crushed and hateful towards PVP because of premades, I think there would be a huge following for events and stuff. That being said, I always thought it would be nice to have a wider variety of things to buy with Glory. Glory can be slow to accumulate, it would be fun to be able to buy something, even if it was cosmetic only. Belt slot trinkets that do something funny? Anything.
