PVP Coliseum Content

[Sterling]

Player VS Player content is something some but not all players want. This post will be giving a idea that fits PVP & PVE & even a variety of other players including gamblers.

Ul'dah is already filled full of extra rooms and areas that resemble a Coliseum and there's even a cutscene where you fight in one. I think it would be a good idea to implement a instance area where players can PVP each other by registering up to fight, and other players can actually spectate from the crowd by being in the outer area in the stands. Other players could interact with the fights by actually placing bets at a counter thus ridding Eorzea of gil, and also giving something very fun to do!

Personally I as a player love to test my limits, and the best way to do that is to fight another player. This Coliseum Content could very well act as FFXI's Ballista did.


currency could be used to buy perhaps items and gear that can "ONLY" be used while in coliseum,
example:

gear that receives stat bonus; adds

while in coliseum combat:
+STR DEX AGI MND INT PTY
+HP
+MP
+Attack
+DEF
+Resistance
etc.



CREDIT TOO Fieros:

PvP
*Once the match is set, spectators have 5 minutes to pay admission and get transported to the instance. Everyone is moved back to lobby following the battle.
*Charge admission for spectators (per fight)
*Charge an entrance fee for the participants (various stakes- 10,000gil/ 25,000gil/ 100,000gil)
*Various brackets to participate (1v1/ 2v2/ 5v5)
*Winner takes all (minus 20% going to the coliseum)

PvM
*Once the match is set, spectators have 5 minutes to pay admission and get transported to the instance. Everyone is moved back to lobby following the battle.
*Charge admission for spectators (per fight)
*Charge an entrance fee for the participants (various stakes increase the difficulty of monsters- 10,000gil/ 25,000gil/ 100,000gil)
*Various brackets to participate (1/2/5players vs. 1 wave of monsters[1 round], 1/2/5players vs. 3 waves of monsters[3 rounds back-to-back], 1/2/5players vs. 5 waves of monsters[2 rounds, 2waves then 3waves])
*Winner takes all (minus 50% going to the coliseum, to cover cost of capturing the monsters)
*Winning a match earns Coliseum Marks
*Losing match will cost Coliseum Marks
*(Someone else can find a use for Coliseum Marks)
*No SP, experience, or loot given from monsters- Coliseum is meant for entertainment and challenge

I believe it was mentioned in the previous threads that there needs to be a system by the gms in place to prevent some of the shadier methods of gambling (i:e: telling a contender to throw the fight to get a cut of the gil)

I don't think this is overall a bad idea. But I definitely would love to see a lot more current items fixed before new development comes under way.

I'm not a PvP fan when it comes to FF. I never touched the "Colisseum" in ffxi. That being said, it's still not a bad idea.

this I understand fully.
perhaps then..

gil is used inside of the coliseum, at a vendor to purchase another form of currancy, that currancy can only be used to gamble with at the betting window, and winnings do not double currancy but perhaps reward you with items?
Or maybe it does reward you with more coliseum currancy, but the currancy can only be used to place bets, give to NPC for fame, etc.
that's a tough one to think about really. lol

uldah would be perfect for this , both player vs player and player vs monster.
Could for player vs monster set up a rewards system , also potetional to have small party battles of 3 to 4 people vs a group of monsters, so its one party activity for the game, kinda like bcnm of ff11 but in the arena with awards for winning.

Do a solo battle with story quest line and with rewards , can be fun rewards like costumes and pow hammers, and keep the party one seperate (no story questline) from it and give meaningful rewards for the party ones , this way everyone can still do the event.

The player vs player one could have a capture the flag type thing going on at same time while battling, could be 4 vs 4 people pvp.

I never much cared for the monster vs monster, but if implemented and we got to do more with our pets, then awesome

It isn't a bad idea at all, would be awesome to fight or go watch players you know fight and even talk to an NPC or something and make bets, would be something to do while you was crafting. Also I think with that idea they should make player vs enemies (mobs) type option too where you have up to a group of 4 or however many battle against mobs/NMs til the end or as far as they can get like you see in other RPGs and even other FF titles. I just hope some type of PVP gets added before the end of the year. Similar to WoW's arena 1v1 up to ?v? like 3v3 or 4v4 would be really amazing.

The only problem I see with it is either they can only let one group go at a time, ( or have a different section where up to 4 or 5 groups could battle in different arenas (instanced area that spectators can zone into via whatever, it would be kind of like Karate tournaments where there are several areas set up and a bunch of people fight on different platforms.)

Yes this idea is pure win, lets add LS vs. LS 15 man battles too.

LS vs LS would be awesome! maybe have a island. where players can go to fight PVP PVE for control according to your nation? I know they said nation would not matter, but perhaps change that idea, or make it race controller. just a thought.
