Main wish
- Random Arenas is in need of new maps. Really. The last time a new map had been implemented in this Arena was in 2006, if I remember well. Therefore, I thought of returning the never-implemented 4 vs. 4 King of the Hill map Ahmtur Arena. (with the vabbian theme)
Also missing are a Desolation-themed arena and a Realm of Torment arena. I think it would be nice to see these in a future update, especially since not everyone who's currently playing Guild Wars will buy and play Guild Wars 2 as well. What can be a greater reward to the PvP community than give them some extra variation? Additional ideas of mine for new maps are to implement the Training Arena and maybe an arena in the style of the Mists.
Furthermore there can be done a lot more to bring new life to PvP:
- Hero Battles and Team Arenas were, as far as I know, really broken and empty during many hours of the day. If these are suddenly returned permanently this fact will not change. But many people, like me, never experienced these Arenas at all and in my opinion removing arenas permanently is not a solution to the problem.
It would be way better if one of the weekend events will be completely devoted to the return of Team Arenas and Hero Battles, maybe not even at the same time. A weekend such as this could easily replace an useless( just my personal opinion) event like double vanquishing rewards or double tournament reward points, because I think these do not add as much to the true Guild Wars experience as TA and HB would do. Some people may want a permanent return of TA and HB and the removal of Codex Arena but that is not going to work, syncing and so on would start there as well.
There are, or at least there were a large Pre-Searing communities that did nothing else than staying in Pre-Searing ascalon. They love the style Ascalon as it once was, but, because there is no PvP combat in Pre-Searing they won't get a chance to experience it. Ascalon Academy as it is now grants access to PvP only if one chooses to go to Post-Searing Ascalon. My idea is to make some kind of Pre-Searing Random Arenas. It isn't even that hard to realise since there's one Arena already; and there's an outpost there as well, though it's hidden from the playerbase. The only problems it may cause are the levels of players, but I think it gives perma-pre players something to do in pre other than farming Gifts of the Huntsman all day long and helping others getting the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title. The arena should give balthazar faction, but in far lesser amounts than Random Arenas, more like Ascalon Arena. A title for this Arena is not necessary. It will only cause a large amount of people playing for the title and not for fun, and cause the Arena to be swarmed by sync teams using voice communication software, getting 100 win-streaks on the run.
Too long, didn't read version[edit]
- Ahmtur Arena: new Random-Arena only map; 4 vs 4 King of the Hill or Deathmatch. Other arenas in the future as well.
- Re-implementing Team Arenas and Hero Battles at certain weekend events. Probably replacing a double tournament reward and a double vanquisher/ scroll drop weekend.
- A "new" Pre-searing PvP arena, most likely only for Level 20 players to play PvP in Pre. No level cap, armor/gear cap is limited due it being Pre, Skills are therefore also limited.
