Lionflash Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I dig 'em. I wonder if they will have voice overs... I hope they do. I know there isn't really an objective but it would be nice to give these arenas a bit of context. This is a story driven game after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPryde Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) No they don't they look horrible! That's only your opinion. Thanks, have a nice day The early stage of what is known... is only optics and those are nice in my opinion... We will see, how that turns out in playstyle.

Cyberwoman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) They do look quite cool I think. I am not much of a PVP player, but the idea surrounding them looks interesting so I may give them a whirl one day Edited July 19, 2013 by Cyberwoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adore the Huttball voice over, and I think its nice that the WZ seem to have a bit of context to them rather then just a random battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpactHound Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That's only your opinion. Thanks, have a nice day My opinion is that with the current state of SWTOR pvp, arenas will be about as competitive as Clayfighter was on the SNES. It was technically a fighter with tournament modes, but who played it over Street Fighter 2(other MMOs)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandros Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Agreed, they look pretty nice. Do we have any information yet on a ladder system/rewards for arenas? Or is this just a novelty type of thing right now? Either way, will be fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Did you actually look beyond just the pretty colors? Those boxes have LoS written all over them - the garage looks like some Halo bunker designed for a FPS game, not a game that has 3-second casted abilities that break when LoS is broken. They'll be melee dominated maps. If you're a Sage, Commando or a Sniper, stick to WZ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpactHound Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 On topic again: Personally I am interested in how the 4 vs 4 fights will work as far as the dynamics of it and if there will be a ranking system for premade teams. I'll give you a hint, it involves stuns, the healer, and a not-working resolve bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsillah Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'll give you a hint, it involves stuns, the healer, and a not-working resolve bar. lol, well sadly that's part of any MMO PvP as far as I've experienced, but that exists in the current warzones that are 8 vs 8. I would think there would be some differences, but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be melee dominated maps. If you're a Sage, Commando or a Sniper, stick to WZ's. In such a small, intimate area, LoS and other geometry concerns are valid, but I can assure you that we are adjusting the LoS blockers and general terrain on these on a daily basis to make sure we get them juuuuust right for all parties involved, not just melee and ranged DPS. Sometimes there is just too much LoS for the healers and they can't get off their support abilities because their friendly targets are weaving their way through all the blockers. Point being, it is a balancing act and we are iterating on it every day! I'm writing up a blog post today (it won't be posted until next week or possibly the week after, gotta translate it and get the big bosses to rubber stamp it) to explain in more detail these Warzone Arenas and our methodology in balancing them. Really looking forward to yall getting your hands on them asap! The feedback from players that have played them already has been overwhelmingly positive! Cheers!

ObiJuanShenobi Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 http://dulfy.net/2013/07/19/swtor-tauntaun-mounts-are-coming/ now just add a new 8v8 map and more pvp type dallies and 2.4 would be gold imo I'm excited for this I'm very interested to see how BW handles arena. if we ever get Geonosis or Mandalore as a planet, how awesome would it be to fight in their arenas?

AlienEyeTX Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The pictures of the new arenas are nice. In my opinion. I have nothing to compare them to, though, as I have never once entered any WZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuuuuucky Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Well for PvP maps yes they look great. It is a good thing that they didn't add to much detail like crates, decals and stuff that is only in the way or waste performance. Of course they could look way better but that wouldn't benefit this sort of competitive map. Edited July 19, 2013 by chuuuuucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WZ are awesome. the first i played,i was like you i used to avoid pvp until a guildmate invite me into a pvp group and ever since im been hook. arenas are gonna be either a great or bad thing if they solve alot of the wz bugs before 2.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
