User talk:Xeeron/suggestions/Revamping 4 Man Arenas
Not exactly the same thing[edit]
I also was thinking about a suggestion for Random Arena, so I rather take this one as a basis than making a new one. If someone here think I should make a new page (if what I write is not purely uninteresting^^) I'll do.
Maybe what I think about is a bit less hard to code though still brain-stimulating. It could be implemented as RA week end events and would be called 'take that Elite'. For 9O minutes or so, elite skill for each profession is randomly fixed. That means you have to think of a build right here right now, test it, make small modifications after the first loss... No character of a profession could start any battle without having that skill in his bar. In order to have a dynamic meta, the chosen elite should be changed quite often (every 2 hours maximum).
Pros :
- Have (at least during this event) a dynamic metagame
- Make some new build emerge ---> greater variety
- Make people dare to create and test (live) funny builds without being called a noob
- Give some balance ideas
Cons :
- To much luck involved as skill aren't balance (maybe some could be excluded from random choice)
- No elite belogning to secondray profession (maybe allow any elite skill on the list is a solution)
- Having the impression to be forced to play in a way that we don't chose
