Pvp arena?!!?

Scrubs says its unbalanced because they cant kill anyone haha.

-WoW is a carebear game (inside a city you´re safe, and game is made that you should never need to go outside)
-Arena is garbage and CASUAL pvp (10 games a week for purples)
-Frost Mages are OP. The 2v2 Rogue-Mage is fking UNBEATABLE if they dont make a mistake
-Scrubs will always remain scrubs, different games change nothing
-Warfronts and any kind of boxed pvp should never existed. Rewarding people looking for a brawl on the fields would be more fitting for any MMO.


Suck it up

so much elitist talk from such a obviously bad player, haha holy ****

1v1 duels are unbalanced and the most scripted pvp in any game once both sides know what they're doing.
i really wish they had a intelligence requirement to post in this forum :/

You cant give proof that im a bad player the same way you cant give proof you aren´t just trolling around your fake superior skills

Anonimate as intended



Sidenote: lol at "professional pvp" in mmo´s, just lol. Starcraft & CS>>>>> that way

Arena would destroy the open pvp...

If they gonna do anything with rating it would be rr (like daoc) or make rating on hutball.

So, unlike 98% of the posts in this thread I am going to actually use factual evidence to back my statements here, instead of making baseless claims that cannot be proven.

From some relatively creditable sources, including a thread on ArenaJunkies:

Blizzard developers have stated that implementing area was a bad idea. It caused a lot of headaches for the developers trying to balance classes in a game that was designed to be primarily a community pve game. It was a sink hole of time and resources that could have be better used improving/implementing other features that could have made the overall game a better experience for everyone.

That being said I am not against competitive pvp. I am however against small scale (as someone used that term earlier) pvp because it will likely cause that same issues WOW had. This game is a PVE story driven game with pvp play secondary. I think some kind of rated Warzone system might be very fun, considering there are 8 player Warzones that you could easily make permanent teams for. This game is not balanced or designed for pvp in a small scale manner. It is designed to be a team based game with all of the classes working together to protect/heal/compliment each other.

You do realize even game developers and "pros" agree with him? 1v1 is unbalanced due to different classes having a counter class. Healers which do little damage have to go defensive the whole time and therefore wont deal any damage, meaning they can't win.

Your argument is invalid and proved wrong, 1v1 is a bad for ranked gameplay due to counter classes, its simply a fact. There are way to work around that but it's too late for that in TOR.
