Arena in Freetown

[Teegs]

I'm excited to see what it will be, as I'm sure it will be epic! Maybe PVP or an epic tournament with participants from every town. Fights between guilds and such. Winners receive some sweet loot. Im stoaked. What yall think?

Hmm, chooseable strong bosses and monsters to fight would be nice. I hope it's not only an arena where you fight in a specific amount of competitions until you reach arena champion, and then its over. I've allready seen this too often in RPG's.

 

[Teegs]

I agree. Facing bosses would be sweet. Testing your skills on elite mob or mobs. A lot of different possibilities. Maybe specific requirements for gear to fight certain enemies. It could go so many ways!

I'd really love to see a PVP element in the game, so long as it's just an option for people who like that kind of thing. I played a really fun MUSH ages ago where you could choose to be PVP by choosing to be a member of a clan, other opposing clan members then becoming targets, or you could just avoid the PVP element and watch the clan wars whilst playing the main game. Problem with having a PVP element would be that you'd only be able to do it across the internet, and one of the major draws for this game is its offline and you can play it anywhere.

In the short term it will be a set of fights that get more and more difficult. It won't be like the fights you have outside. After that, I'll expand it to make it more interesting, of course.

Multiplayer is my big goal for the fall/winter, but I can't even start considering until the game is past 1.0, for a variety of reasons.

I always enjoyed the Final Fantasy 3/6 Coliseum and its mechanics. Bet an item, foe is based on what item was bid, beat foe, get a different/better item.

Would give an avenue to use items that have fallen out of usefulness.

I agree. I think something like weekly fights for gold would be cool. Something to keep it going even after beating the hardest fight. Of course multi-player in the long run would probably do the trick.

I think Arena can become the most interesting glue for that game.

1) PVE: Boss fights
I'm glad to here it's on the way Definitely will make game more existing.

2) PVP: (perhaps online / multiplayer)
This is what I would vote for the most, so you can see player with companion vs another team. Very simple ranking system would be essential here I guess.

From David's post above I expect the initial arena fights to be comparible to Oblivion arena encounters.

Before getting to this forum I was sure that Arena is part of a future quest where you can find a Scarred Vagabond (and get a revenge on him)

and Yes, multiplayer PvP sounds as a good idea, but you need then to ensure that there are no cheaters in game. Like adding yourself several dozens of Traits, etc..
