An Idea to help PvP come back alive!

I call this the "Arch-Type of the day" or "Build of the day" type of fight in the hero games.

Basically, there will be a seperate hero games category for team fights and free for all, with the "Arch-Type of the day" option or "Build of the day" option.

What this does is when selecting this hero game, all players that participate in it are automatically converted to the archtype of that day, or that build for that day while in that match. This way, aside from gear, most people will be on equal footing, and so actual skill. or luck, will come into play in the truest sense. The same applies for build of the day.

It's a suggestion that is rough around the edges, but I think you know what im saying here.

For that hero match only, all players are the same arch-type ( or build ), and when it ends, everything is reverted back too normal. Is it possible for Cryptic to implement something like this? Who knows.

    an easier way to do this would be with a become device you get only for that match and it would not let you in without the become device toggled on. turning off the device would immediately disqualify you and you'd be kicked from the match.

    Oh god, just take that damn kicking code out of the game already. :0

    This does sound fairly fun though, although I see a few problems. Gear, you would have different gear with different specs / builds. Also archetypes need to be bought so letting people change into them for the day is a little meh.

    Giving out some prize (Costume or Aura or devices or Questionite or anything) is probably the most easy way but... I wonder how Crypyptic/Devs are thinking about PvP contents.

    Problem will be that it will be contrary to what people generally stand for. Alot of people want to remain themselves along with their characteristics. Besides, overrides through become devices are a decent idea.

    Similar to DCUO legendary PvP, it works fine and it is a good experience, because you can have fun without being a hardcore PvPer. Can it be done here with duels and becomes?

    Become device pvp might work. They could offer different pvp become skins for acclaim. Gives you something to unlock and at least a little customization.

    My stomach is clear and my mind is full of bacon!

    I can't get behind this idea because of what Forz already mentioned. The reason I PvP in this game is to fight against others as the hero, or character, I'd like to be.

    I find PvP without customization boring, but I know many people would like it since it is a bit more fair. If it happened to ease people into the current forms of PvP we currently have, then I'd support it.
    I strive to be the strongest swordsman alive.
