ARENAS/Death match....NOW

Again, only people I see calling for nerfs are war zone related.. And not the results of some small tournament no one has even heard of.

You think that people would not cry nerf even w/out an Arena? Of course they would; they do right now.

No, you obviously acknowledge this happens whether they exist or not, so how does having an Arena setup make this any different whatsoever?

I've seen a lot of gibberish posted here. Idiots calling idiots idiots accomplishes nothing, I know people don't wanna give wow credit but they ARE they biggest mmo on the market and the first mmo to get their style of pvp in the pro gaming circuit.

Also guild wars adapted the same style fo pvp for thier extremely successful mmo based mostly around pvp. I played mmos since uo in 1999. I played around 12 different mmos, seen good and bad ideas for pvp, warhammer had a ton, this game has a few good, and a lot of bad ideas for pvp.

Huttball is fun, but face it u nubs, huttball's based around map abuse, not pvp, charge, force pull, score goal, rinse and repeat. Knock into fire / poison for kills, charge / force-grip / positioning is not pvp, it is map abusing. Don't get me wrong I love huttball, it is fun, but it is also not really pvp oriented its more like a sport, where you can kill opposing players, but will win faster if you just focus entirely on healing and scoring the ball asap.

This game has directly stolen the other two warzones it uses from wow. Let me type that again. THIS GAME DIRECTLY STOLE TWO OF 3 WARZONES FROM WOW. So obviously the devs realize what all u swtor fanboys dont. Just because wow has something, doesnt mean it will ruin swtor pvp if they use it.

I for one am all for giving players equal gear to pvp with, class balance, and any and all types of pvp, the more warzones the better, the more world pvp the better (dont get me started on this games world pvp, its a laughing stock). World pvp was best done in warhammer, where players were funneled into one another while questing, and there was objectives, but warhammer dropped the ball on giving players too much incentive to just win trade.

Point of this post : this guy wants more ways to have fun pvping besides doing the same 3 lame warzones, I say give it to him, if your bashing him cause you think hes a wow fanboy cause he likes death match, your just stupid, and have no right posting on pvp forums. Death match is originally from first person shooters, not wow.

Excuse me, but, as a small aside, could you tell me when WoW implemented objective based pvp? I remember objective based pvp in Halo . . . and Tribes . . . and Unreal Tournament . . . and some other very old games that I haven't played in so long I can't even remember what they are anymore. Point is, there ain't much innovation anymore, so it's misleading to say "They stole it from *blank*."

On topic, really? A 150m by 250m room? What will that accomplish? Where is the tactical finesse? Where is the elegance of execution? Real combat does not take place in a 150m by 250m room. Real war is not won solely on who racks up the most kills. So you get your deathmatch. What are you achieving? What are you proving? That you can press buttons faster than the other guy? Try to think outside of the box. An arena deathmatch is the rawest form of pvp, but it is also the simplest and most boring.

Just my $.02.
