Team Arenas

This page contains information about a Guild Wars component or feature that has been removed or replaced. |
This article is about the historical PvP Arena. For the associated (historical) outpost, see Team Arenas (outpost).
The Team Arenas were PvP arenas where two groups of four organized players battle each other. Groups were formed in the eponymous outpost and Random Arenas teams with 10 consecutive wins automatically enter the Team Arenas. Both Balthazar faction and Gladiator points could be obtained from Team Arenas. In Team Arenas, there were two victory conditions:
- Deathmatch - To be victorious, at least one player on your team has to be alive after he has killed the last opponent. There is a time limit of eight minutes where the team with the highest morale will be declared the winner.
- Kill Count - For three minutes, your team has to kill as many opponents as possible, with all dead players respawning every 30s with no death penalty. The team with the most kills wins. If after three minutes both teams have the same number of kills, Sudden Death begins and the next kill wins the match.

It was initially announced by Linsey Murdock that Hero Battles would be removed and replaced by a "4v4 Sealed Deck format" in her August 28th, 2009 journal entry.
Team Arenas, along with Hero Battles, were permanently removed and replaced with the Codex Arena in the October 22nd, 2009 update.
Trivia[edit]
The Team Arenas outpost was located in Droknar's Forge before the release of the Battle Isles.
