Add Lost Ark style PVP modes

PVP Arenas

I played LA for about half a year and I liked the way they did their arena modes.

They had 3 arena modes, the most popular one was the one similar to the 3v3 we have now except people could die there (like 5s rez timer) and dying gave other team 1 pt. After a fixed time, which ever team had more pts won. If it was tie, they went into overtime and then sudden death.

2nd mode was basically the ogre colleseum from WoD. Bunch of people joined and it was a FFA, this was the least popular mode.

My favorite mode was the dueling mode. Where we’d have a random team of like 4 or 5 on each side and we’d pick our position in the line and would 1v1 while rest of team spectated. The winner of the round would move on and fight other team’s #2 positioned player and so on until they died. I’ve seen really good PVPers 1v4 before dying, was insane. Very cool mode. This mode would have to be DPS only (good news, every class in the game has at least 1 DPS spec so every class can queue this).

The person who wins the 1v1 would go into 2nd fight with current HP and cooldowns (no resets) so they’d go in with a disadvantage so it’s more fair.

I like these ideas, but the devs would have to change solo q to ‘q random solo mode’ so the player base isn’t split even more.

I’d just delete 2s tbh. It’s the most unbalanced version of rated PVP and the only people that will miss it are Rogues and Mages

tru down with 2s

but rogues/mages the only two that people say would miss it cuz they are the only 2 that can reliably play double dps to high ratings when played together

if every melee player could zug zug double dps to duelist every season in 2s half of the RSS population would immediately que 2s only

the issue is healer/dps 2s games just aren’t fun for the vast majority of the player base

I had forgotten about the dueling one. That was fun as a break from normal arena.

In a world where we’d be willing to axe healers and commit to the rebalancing necessary, Lost Ark’s version of 3v3 arena would work amazingly for all DD SoloQ. Would work great, and would keep working that way until the servers came offline.
