Arena suggestion

[______________Pho-Ku]

Ok 3 suggestions for the 2 zero % arenas we got in game.

1. Make someone in a fight unable to zone "Can't zone while in fight..." (brought up by sexidoc)

2. Make it impossible to jump someone fighting "Target is already in a fight, please wait..."

3. Make it impossible to heal people in a fight inside these arenas. "Target is currently in a fight, unable to cast nano"

Just sick of hearing all the crying in these arenas.
We have 25% zones for jumping and teaming.

Let me know what you think.

Sounds like a good idea.

Seems to me you're forgetting to include at the very least, all of Perpetual Wastes in the 0% zones.

There's also a few more scattered around the world, so making that a property of 0% zones would be an official bad thing.

Those are 0% zones yes, but not arenas meant for dueling/testing and so on.

So, If I stand in the Arena, waiting for my friend to get ready for battle, and I get jumped by someone, shouldn't i.e. my friend be able to heal me to help me, and shouldn't I be able to zone out to save myself from being "ganked", and shouldn't my friend be able to attack the other guide to aid me?

IMO, bad idea.

If your standing in arena your looking for a fight . Dont stand in arena if you dont want someone to attack you.

It's called "mayhem" for a reason.

About 2 weeks ago, I was in Ent arena with my guildies doing PvP practice. There were 5 or 6 of us ranging from level 100 to 160. A level 190 clan trader pops in and opens up on our level 160 Adv. We all let loose on the trader and he makes an unescorted trip to reclaim.

With these changes, we'd have only been able to flee the arena for fear of being his next target. As long as combat can be initiated without consent of both parties, those changes just create a gankers paradise.

P.S. Do not jump into an arena to start a fight when you can see a bunch of strangers in dragon form

Hypnos was that me? i dont remember but sounds like something stupid i'd do.

Anyway, i'll run through the omni arena and kill about anything i can because I'm clan.... its the omni arena... its, uh, what i'm supposed to do. I'm not proud but if i'm sitting in mmd and 2h0 for hours on end i'm going to take out my aggression on the few omni's that are anywhere i can attack them. So be ready, expect to be attacked, and get some friends to kill me - i'd rather fight and die than waste buffs.

Seishin I dont think those areas are 0% anymore but i'm not sure.

Zizayu if you're not smart enough to realize where youre standing you deserve it.

Ecbolic seems like those suggestions are more than reasonable. In fact, they seem so necessary that even for a company as determined to ignore its custmors as FC demonstrates itself to be these issues would be recognized as a priority. I dont know what would be required to realize these changes but even if there was one little bar in all of rubika where this was the case it'd be a major attraction.

In some form - whether in both arenas or in a new "duel" specific area these changes really should be considered and at least tried out on test.

Will probarly be more ganking since they cant run away..

2 .Sometimes I wanna see if i can fight 2 people at the same time

Basically we just need a few Mayhem-zones where we can pratice without interferences.

[_____________Cloudehxx]

Its called mayhem so you cant attack other omnis you dork.

Seriously Why do some people think just becuase they are in an arena they should expect to be attack at any time, dont you ASK for an arena fight, you know ARENA, not..IM GOING TO ATTACK YOU CUZ UR IN A 0% zone, thats what 'political zones' are for and 'war zones'.


Not, ARENA.

I didn't post the name because I didn't want it to sounds like an attack on the clanner. For the record, it was Gplus.

I brought it up because Ecbolic was trying to create a rules to make the arena safe for dueling and testing. I thought this example would point out the problem.

If you want to make the arenas a place for concentual fighting only, then just make the game query your target for permission. A little yes/no box like when you're invited to join a guild would work fine.

and good point, Tal
