I love ffa games, such as lone wolf in halo and will ffa in cod4, so y not have it in guild wars?

4 people enter the arena. The match starts and the most versatile/skilled player will win.
rewards will play out much like random and team arenas, but with glad points given out at 3 or 5 consecutive wins.
gimmick builds and syncing will be a problem but it happens in ra too.

Gogo healing hands tank.

I can see this turning into a complete disaster...

Pistachio · Jul 12, 2009, 01:42 AM // 01:42

I think this could be fun.

I'm not sure if GW is the right format for this style of gameplay...I mean for one thing, CoD4 and Halo are First person shooters which are WAY different from rpg based games lol. I don't primarily see a problem with this...but I'm horrible at predicting how things will turn out.

Sounds like fun and hell at the same time honestly lol.

The problem with this opposed to a shooter is GW is Rock,Paper,Scissors in terms of builds.

slith · Jul 12, 2009, 01:54 AM // 01:54

true, but would still be fun i think

Ugh · Jul 12, 2009, 01:54 AM // 01:54

I wouldn't mind seeing this added; it sounds kinda fun.

And, if it does turn out to be a "rock, paper, scissors scenario", maybe preset builds (like in costume brawl) could be implemented.

Maybe give each profession a set build for the arena that can't be changed, so everybody will be more evenly matched.

Signed but only if it's more than 4. I've wished ab for example would be a giant free for all, where you simply entered a pvp explorable area with lots of kurzicks/luxons fighting it out.

a good idea but not for guild wars. since there will be someone running a tank build or a farming build it would be so boaring

Sotec The Brave · Jul 12, 2009, 02:02 AM // 02:02

I like the idea of preset builds to make more about using the skills correctly

slith · Jul 12, 2009, 02:06 AM // 02:06

what happens if a skill update makes one of the build op or pure crap.

thetechx · Jul 12, 2009, 02:23 AM // 02:23

it could work, but not in an elimination style. have it be first to 10 kills wins, or whoever has the most kills at the end of a certain time wins. sure there would be a problem with kill stealing, but what game doesnt have that.

It would be very fun to play. Reminds me of 4 man for himself match in wrestling!

dilan155 · Jul 12, 2009, 02:36 AM // 02:36

i like it, but it'll only work with preset build, otherwise it just would be horrible, as for kill stealing there could be like points for assisting or something much like in cod 4. also maybe more than just 4 maybe like 6 or even 8

farmerfez · Jul 12, 2009, 02:42 AM // 02:42

guildwars was built around being a teamplay game which is why not one profession dominates them all. This would defeat the purpose of pvp and bars lol

No. Not in the current state of the game. In the current state of the game, guildwars is based on who has the biggest ego. epeen and best of the best cookiecutta' build.

Kiddies would just sync this too and gank away.

subarucar · Jul 12, 2009, 05:55 AM // 05:55

Use preset builds, change these builds monthly to keep up with buffs/nerfs and for a change.
Damage dealt to a target will be tracked, the person who deals the most amount of damage to that target gets the kill. That way there is no kill stealing, if you want add some kind of assist thing if a player comes within 15% of the killers damage dealt.

Sounds like a lot of fun to me.
