Can NW team create a gathering area to watch and play one on one PVP arenas with a Q?

I would love to have a 1 x 1 arena.

People could be able to go there look around, and if they want Q for the next combat.

Waiting, chatting … while watching the others fights.

There could be like 6 natural terrains arenas (not cage or things like that) with trees, rocks, little hills things like that and each arena could be like 3 times larger than a domination node.

These arenas would have to be sitting below normal landscape ground so the other players could be able to move around and easily watch.

To enter combat players could have to pay a minimum AD fees and the winner would receive this amount less 10% that will go to Neverwinter (like AH fees).

We could have a certain total amount of gear stat required to enter arenas: arenas for 1K to 1.5K, 1.5K to 2K, 2K to 2.5K, 2.5 to unlimited and also maybe one for anyone who wants to fight without any K limitations.

For these arenas we could have a 1 x 1 board base on the arenas. So we have a board for arenas 1K to 1.5K, a board for 1.5K to 2K and so on...

This could be very fun and also be an easy place for NW team to monitor PVP balance.

Thanks for giving me your feedback"

    I'm guessing "no" since this is something PvPers have been asking for at least the last two years,

    Sorry but I never saw thread as specific as this one. And why are you saying No???
  • jarecstephjarecsteph Member Posts: 270 Arc User
    I say yes, but getting the sanctioning fee will be a killer.

    I’m not talking about big AD fees and at least AD you could easily earn while playing the game.

    I think for players it could be a great and exciting way to win Ad and for the game to make some money out of the 10% fees.

    There could be special 1 x 1 PVP shops in the area, were you can buy stuff in AD and with special 1 x 1 glory

    Umm, did you miss this part?
    It's been asked for nearly monthly for over two years.

    If you want 1vs1 go play some StreetFighter or Teken. This is MMO and it's about cooperation, so they wont waste their time balancing for 1vs1.

    No disrespect intended, but the fact you play a Palyroach and have the galls to talk about "cooperation" is frankly, nigh insulting to anyone else who is even in the least bit concerned about 'balance'.

    Sorry if that was rude, but really, what do Paladins know of "balance based on team fighting"?
    Stop making excuses. Be a man.
    If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
    Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

    I play many classes. 4 of them are lvl70 with full PvP gear. Balance isnt good as it is, but it's a lot easier to balance content around group fights where focus fire and chain CC can make a huge difference. Balancing around 1vs1 requires a lot more effort cause you want to give every class and build a fair chance. If they wont balance, people will come and cry here even more, because it will be just a battle between GF, CW and TR's (and maybe perma root HR). Rest of the classes wont stand a chance.

    This was already suggested 2 years ago by a guildie of mine and nothing happened, even when the game had bigger budget and bigger community with 3 different servers.

    no you are wrong, paladin would be top one, by far, as long as only a bug can kill them on 1 vs 1
    Then, it would be maybe Dc, as long as it's impossible to kill a bis dc 1 vs 1, so, at the end, it would be draw or win for dc
    then Gf gwf or tr
    Cw arent made to fight 1 vs 1n they are strong in a team, very strong, but not at all on 1 vs 1.

    Absolutely no disrespect intended, but this one confused me...my question in sincere and not smart-ashed.

    Unless I'm missing something, your question would imply that you feel this game has run its course and should be ended. Your specific reason(s) are not stated in your brief question, but that seems to be the general gist of what you are saying.

    So if that is indeed the case, then why are you bothering to spend time reading and posting on the forum? And if you are reading and then posting replies on the forum, I have to assume that you must be spending some time playing the game, as I cannot begin to fathom why anyone would read and post in forums for a game which they do not like and choose not to play.

    So in a nutshell, I cannot make heads nor tails of your post.

    Feel free to elaborate, if you can express your sentiment in a more clear and congruent manner.

    Your words shows only how inexperienced you're. Paladin will lose to every decent CW cause of Repel. Paladin cant kill any decent players either, he can tie on the flag at best. Assuming both players BIS geared, GF, TR, CW and GWF can still kill any Paladin who dont use the bugged feat, it's just a matter of timing.

    Players asked for this since BETA. And it's nice to have. It just doesn't really work because classes are balanced around teams. Me and some old buddies from a two-year guild tried this out back in mod2, within the guild, we set up an open-to-all-classes 1v1 arena... back when you could queue 5v5 premades and remain in the domination instance to chill out (remember that one good "bug" they decided to fix?)

    we're talking about mod2 class balance here, it's hell of a lot worse 4 modules later. Support builds will be disadvantaged, tanks or healers will end in stalemates, the imbalance would be more glaringly obvious-- bad rep for Cryptic. I really wouldnt get my hopes up.

    We just need a small zone located within Protector's Enclave, my guess -- somewhere north of the marketplace, that acts like a mini IWD zone, with invisible walls and a NPC that moves you inside the boundaries. Completely visible from the outside, inside-outside /s chat possible.

    Inside follow PvP rules in that all companion effects are shut out, and everyone is marked as enemy, as in FFA. Should be sufficient for practice, 1v1 duels, and not have to send people away to IWD for all that stupid cumbersome process.

    I dont think this is suitable for the current state of the game, cus anyone fighting with DC or OP would mean a no ending game...

    Which will exactly be an evidence to be submitted to the devs and to the community as well, that even the best of players in the most powerful DPS classes have essentially no chance to bring down an equally geared/skilled DCOP... and finally shut up the people making lame excuses of how (some imaginary) super player can kill any DCOP.

    Also, maybe we could even invite 5 devs to make a team with their favorite characters (with no 'cheats' enabled), and then pit them against the game's strongest Palys in a 5v1 situation and see if they can bring it down.

    The easier this kind of "fighting field" is accessible for duels, experiements and tests, instead of going to IWD every time and then starting a long debate on whether the other guy really turned off his companions or not, or getting constantly bothered by having to respawn and then ride a lengthy stretch of the road to get back to the "crossroads" to start experimenting again, the easier also it becomes for us to test things out, gather people, intrigue casuals who may be interested in PvP, and plain show to everyone else that not all PvPers are arsh-hats.

    The best form of PR is demonstration. When you see some people do cool or amazing stuff as you walk by, those who are interested in it naturally want to see more. It's a good way to promote more PvP to casuals, great way to have an easily managed testing grounds, or to settle feuds with a classic duel.

    I wouldn't say 5 vs 1, but I have no doubt even 5 highly geared players would still have trouble taking down a DC+OP combo. :)

    5 Players could easily take down anything, depending on the classes though. For example: 2 TR's , 2 GF's and 1 CW.

    TR cast Courage Breaker (huge slow, nearly 95% or so) that goes through magic immunity, then chain smoke bombs and so on. 2 GF can destroy anything with their burst, especially if target cannot cast anything cause he's standing inside smoke bomb that he cannot move out due to slow. Then you have CW yet for most CC, debuffs and decent burst.

    Dev's used to ignore our requests. This is one of those.

    yeah, there is footage on youtube. very interesting.

    I seriously doubt any of them play on currently live game, they probably have some testing arena with cheated bis or nearly bis characters and on this experience they were probably thinking that have balanced game
