Will there ever be anything like arena?

You are assuming that WoWs arena system is the only system there can be.

I want to hear this different idea you have. Theres not much that goes into throwing players inside a closed area and letting them fight it out to the death. What other way is there to implement arena style pvp?

I think there is quite easy way to avoid any need of rebalancing. Why not make 2 brackets. First random arenas where people could queue only solo, so the unbeatable combinations wouldn't be a problem. And the second would be premades against premades and there would be no problem too, they would just let unbeatable class combinations play against each other there. Or did I miss something?

8v8 is what a warzone is... just queue up and you get that.

sorry but if you did not play wow with arenas as the main PvP thing then you had no leg to stand on. Most of us saw it cripple the game because of the minority of people whining on the fourms.

For starters I wouldn't go less than 5v5. The more players there are, the more like a regular WZ it is without the need for more class balancing.

As for other ideas...I'm not BW I'm not a genius, but that's why devs get the big money. They get paid to invent new ways to do things. My theme in this thread is I'm sure they could figure something out, not that I could.

Alas, a system that could work.

What is the point then? Just roll with the current WZ size and mechanics.

Blizzard has admitted they could never work it out, and regrets ever doing it. I'm pretty sure the devs at Bioware are smart enough to review Blizzards history with arena play and steer clear of it.

And this thread has nothing to do with PvE so stop taking shots at people just because they don't agree with you. Most savvy PvP players, that are not Arena junkies, will tell you to exit stage right with this thread topic. Arena play is bad PvP in MMOs as far as I am concerned. It destroys PvP and PvE balance in an MMO in the process.

If you crave arena style play.... PLAY games with Arena already in them. Stop demanding this game be distorted to meet your cravings IMO. If players would just take arena "as is" then fine, but we all know that is not how it goes... arena junkies start stinking up the game with their constant complaining and demanding nerfs/adjustments that is even more narrowly focused then general PvP complaining.

i can say that wow arena was the most pvp fun i ever had inn any game. and i realy hope we get it here. and no i wont go back to wow. got burned out on that game loooong time ago.. i like swtor alot but the pvp part of this game is lacking alot. if we cant have world pvp geif arena!!

if you want the PvP of wow, then go play it... this is SWTOR wanting them to turn SWTOR into wow is not a good idea.

Because people who couldn't play in pre-mades with their class because they aren't part of one of the unbeatable combo's would demand that changes be made to allow them to join the pre-made battles. Also, the solo queues would also be dominated by the dominant class(es) and the outcry for "more balance" would start the ball rolling as well.
