Suggestion - PVP Naadam Matches

[DamianFatale]

Naadam would make a great pvp mode, and It would consist of random small teams competing together to be the strongest in the steppe, and an extra solo mode might also be possible to offer an enhanced difficulty. Now how would that work in the lore exactly? The Naadam is sacred, and only happens once a year. Well, why not train for it? Each match could be described as a training match for the sacred ceremony, and not the ceremony itself. The steppe warriors obviously don't just go marching in, they have to practice for it. I see no reason why there wouldn't be training exercises. It could also open the possibility for new rewards, including titles, and glamour.

You know, I truly hope the Naadam that we played story-wise is some kind of teaser for an actual Nadaam pvp arena. I'm sure with the proper tweaks, this would be a very fun addition.

This idea would have my full support, I would love this.

I also think this could seriously make pvp more popular than it is. A lot of people were taking about how much they loved the Naadam, and wanted to go back to redo that part of the story again. With a pvp version of it, we could do it all the time. It also wouldn't get as boring. Playing against players would make matches way more interesting than just repeating the same story instance when you feel like it.

The PvP version of the Naadam, LONG before the Naadam was even a thing.

I'd like to also point out that all those PvE skills you have in the Naadam? You had them back when this was new and current, but people shunned and avoided PvP, and claimed it had "too many buttons".

While I see the similarities, it's not the Naadam. In the Naadam you're competing for one section of soil. You also don't start closer to the objective, so you have to fight people along the way. Everyone would begin on the outside of the map.

So Seal Rock. (Having only one singular node that ends the match there and then would be too silly for real PvP I think). I wouldn't mind a reskin of that with the steppes though just because it'll be pretty.

Then please look into "The Borderland Ruins (Secure)".

What you're asking for has been there all along, but no one even wanted to TRY it.

Im sorry, but I disagree with you. Were just going to have to accept that we're not going to have the same stance on this.

That's fine if you disagree. Fact is, the moment I was participating in the Naadam in the story, I felt like I was back in Seal Rock, and that's why I really liked the Naadam too. It's the EXACT same premise, different visuals, and based in the story. Used the same skills from PvE that people claimed were "too much" or "too many" for PvP, and required you to interact with a fixed location to score. Getting attacked would interrupt you or anyone interacting with it. . . That's honestly Seal Rock (Seize), man.

We've had the raw basic design for the Naadam forever and people were too busy scoffing at and avoiding it.
