PVP Coliseum Content

[Sterling]

maybe in the likely hood of all things, we can see something implemented here shortly

[ChiefCurrahee]

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

Yep either have use gil to buy Coliseum specific currency, or allow PC Vs NPC battles to build Coliseum currency. This currency can never exchange hands via trade. And can only be used to buy items from the coliseum.

Well, maybe it was meant to be used this way. At FFT series (which seens to be the main FF this one was based on) there was 5-on-5 tournaments so it is possible to be used this way later on. Same works for gambling...by Platinum Mirage already is a door marked as "cassino".

I don't like straight fight (both solo or party fight) because it pretty much favors the one with better connection, but would be interesting some PvP "games", like who kill more monsters or who deal more damage to a NM while the teams can also hit the opponent team.

Maybe when companies are out... ^^

This would be a great ideal! that would make the game a little more competitive and interesting. i love PVP and i think ffxiv introducing it would be great

Some good ideas in this thread.

I like the idea of a closed off PvP arena, they could take ideas from FF6 and how they worked that coliseum, instanced battles, or a separate area like FF11 had.

Instead of monster vs monster add different dynamics, people can watch (bid) maybe win currency to be used with in the arena itself for gear/mats.

Also player vs monster like BCNM/KSNM, bring that to the mix as well.

PVP in coliseum would be awesome. I would also like 1v1 duels to be an option to fight anywhere. Simple fix to this against those opposed to ever dueling and not to be bothered by requests is to simply have an option in config in game to decline all requests automatically.

[Sterling]

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

[Alise]

Coliesem would be cool, but PvP should be something just for entertain betweenthose top players who has no goal to enjoy the using of their gear.

This shouldn't involve in obtaining any end-game items like WOW does, or it would be a huge discourage to those people who dislike this to leave the game. and I know so many FF11 players who doesn't play WOW because of this reason.

Sterling had a great idea with the gear bought through the arena.

This in short would give the PvP player base a home, and a fun little side trip from the adventure of the storyline.

I for one would like to fight others to gain gear to help my fighting in the Coliseum.

Even if the gear is stored only in the coliseum with a NPC storage area specifically for that gear, would free up inventory slots as well.

Can even put up server score boards opening up the competition.
