Arena Solution ?

Hi all. I'm gonna try to explain how the arena could be better for all of us. Ok so startin' ... I hope the idea isn't too bad, also I see most games have that.

1. Implement gear score in items ( green to unique ) !
any ( green ) 1-45 lvl /10 - 450 gear score ( of course the combination of items will make difference )
any ( blue ) 1-45 lvl / 20 - 900 gear score (--/--)
any ( purple ) 1-45 / 30 - 1 350 gear score (--/--)
any ( orange ) 1-45 / 40 - 1 800 gear score (--/--)
any unique 1-45 / 50 - 2 250 (--/--)

the gear score number will be influenced from lvl of items, I just thought of those numbers above, of course they can be higher/lower, depending which would be better.

2. Implement gear score calculator for arena.
3. Expand arena level to 6 lvls after updating the gear score calculator.
4. Only 600 gear score ( the number can be different, giving an example ) difference can lead to 6 lvls higher/lower players going to arena. ( 1v1 / 3v3 / 5v5 / 6v6 )
5. How's it going to work... Example:

20 lvl player with 1k gear score can play with 26 players with 700-1300 gear score ( 300 lower than 1k & 300 higher than 1k ) IF 600 difference

Thx for your time! ~

 

I like it. I proposed something similar in another thread. Not nearly as complex as yours. Basically taking their current way of matching opponents and adding a type of gear score into the mix to avoid the mismatches. But yours looks way better than mine....and not just because of the pretty colors. lol

 

You had a better idea on another thread whereby all Toons enter the Arena unequipped.

 

Two toons enter, one toon leaves! Two toons enter, one toon leaves!

Ah, Thunderdome. Where are ya when we need ya?

 

Arena is pretty much well balanced.
What is causing unbalance is: money and class OP.

 

I agree with that statement. Some kind of gear/gem-matching protocol might even-out the money imbalance. But, then again, if it isn't implemented with a wide enough range it might make some people (the ones with really good gear) have to wait a very long time for a match. Some of the pay-players I know are already waiting a really long time for matches. Hmmm...

 

It all depends at what lvl you are talking about!!!

If it is at lvl 45...yeah you could say its pretty balanced.

If you mean low lvl, its the GoP what unbalance PvP, not money.
Sure some players are impatient and buy GoP, but most of them farm for them, all you need is a handful of good and patient friends that will kill Arachna around 100 per day and you will get around 100K of GoP.

Before GoP system, i had no problems fighting PvP and win, today its impossible.

 

Forbid grouping above 5 lvls, grouping for arena, red ess and you'll have much balanced arena on low and high lvls.

 

Nooooooooo, my low lvl toon isn't for the PvP, its for events only...forbid grouping above 6 or 7 lvl, so i can play in events, thats all i need...pretty please

 

Yea, well.., didn't thought about that. But seriously, op imbalance on low lvls is because of gop. The only way they can fix this is to forbid grouping with 5+ higher lvl toons. I guess there aren't that many crazy people (read :kids with filthy rich parents: ) who would buy gop just for andermants.., at least i hope so. But it's ok even if that cap is 6-7 or even 8 lvls, at least it would be better than it is now.

 

I'm serious, I have a low lvl toon for events only and its the only way to have some fun in this game now...I'm sick n' tired of my lvl 45, farming for GoP + items and never getting any good items, its no longer fun anymore to play with him.

Like i told and ask Rick, to forbid groups higher than 10 lvl's of difference...
...how about also include a restriction on maps??? example - ...
...to gain access to "Wild Forest" a player must be lvl 18 + a quest to enter.

They did the same thing to Myrdrosch region!!!
Group restriction of -10 lvl + region restriction, this will definitely end the unfairness for arena and open PvP.

 

Ban grouping in the arena.

 

That's not the solution. Do the math. Open Microsoft Excel. The answer is right in front of you.

 

Sorry I use notepad++ ... and it shows different perspective.
