Why can't we have an arena that can be accessed any time without waiting in queue. An arena that has no rules, no rewards and free PvP is enabled. It can be placed outside Mor Dhona or somewhere populated and If you step into the ring you can attack and be attacked. Just for fun, there are many players who are into PvP and barely having the chance to enter Frontlines.
Free for all PvP Arena

I support this. But SE would never ever add something so free, unrestricted and chaotic. Sadly. :(

This doesn't work for healers or tanks...

Would be cool. Why not?

03-12-2015, 06:51 PMLordHadiActually it's a bit difficult killing a tank, a healer too if you're attacking solo.Quote:

oh my goodness, yes. Unruly, chaotic, random PvP. The ability to form Parties perhaps, but not mandatory. The great part about you being to just walk in/out of the Arena, is that if there's somebody dominating and it gets dull, everybody will leave, so the person dominating will leave, and then people can trickle back in.

This will be fun for a few days, but then like frontlines, people will stop playing once they see how pointless it is when A) there's too many factors that make playing it not fun and B) no incentives to keep people playing.

It might be good for practice. The dummies in wolves' den pier don't fight back and you can get practice with things like bind and knockback moves ect. I dont see many other bards use shadowbind/blastshot in pvp and its a shame. Although I agree it will get old after a while and probably seldom be used.

03-12-2015, 11:16 PMRiceisNicePretty much this. I'd love for them to redo frontlines so I can actually get my ADS mount ;~;. 30m+ queues are suffering, on top of a very hit-or-miss win rate and that I can't even play with my friends...fuh. Unfortunately though they're still keeping the GC gimmick in heavensward from what I saw, so blargh...Quote:

03-12-2015, 11:19 PMMishini_DracotoI stopped doing frontlines because of queue times. . . which SE had sped up queue times for FL before, but they changed it to only 72-man when FL Savage came out and now there are massive queue times again. I'm a spoiled tank, if I don't queue in 10 minutes, I've already started crafting or something else and I withdraw before the queue pops.Quote:

Tanks would be god
Casters would be screwed
Melee would just derp around
I'm all for PVP, but without a party system, in XIV it's just too silly to work. Unless they reactivated animation lock for attacks, it's nothing but a derpfest. -
03-12-2015, 11:43 PMDarlan_Ashwood
It would be a mess, but it would be just for fun since you can walk in / out any time you please and there would be no reward involved
-
03-12-2015, 11:49 PMRiceisNiceAt least it had the dedency to not give you an ETA...Quote:

From another game I played, the struggle is real.
This imo should never be a reason to implement something. It'll eventually just die out. And if its going to be openworld like outside of more doughnuts, it'd be in the way of everything too.Quote:

03-13-2015, 12:35 AMMilesSaintboroguhBecause making something purely for fun in this type of genre will not be self sustaining. Once it dies, you'll get people asking why no one is doing open PvP. As I said before, there's no incentive for doing open PvP and funsies isn't a good way to keep it alive. The "fun" will only be there for a few days, then the fun stops.Quote:

The whole genre is just for fun though, right?Quote:

lol..This feature would literally have no effect on the people who don't like it.

FFXIV is a team-game for the more part. Free For All goes against much of the value of it.

Would be fun. I can see groups killing innocent players and I rush in to save the day, only to die in a blazing glory that'll get everyone motivated to avenge me.
-
03-16-2015, 10:25 PMLordHadiKilling innocent? It would be a PvP area once you step in, they can simply avoid that by not stepping in lolQuote:
