Default Random arenas need VoD

I think I'll let this speak for itself.

I agree.

But I think it should be a different type of VoD. The GvG version is nice and all, but in RA, if a match lasts too long, I think we should get some BWE Finale chaos. Gwens, the Wurms, Gnomes, etc. It'd be amazing. Figure it'll be random as to which VoD you receive, and it'd only be one (as in, either Gwen, a Wurm, etc).

In fact, I think that should happen in both RA and TA.

And it would cut down on grief running, too, because I don't see many people able to run from/stand up to a Wurm or Gwen. ^_^

the past 2 days i've been doing ta with guild and we always seem 2 come across a team of w/mo using a healing ball or a team of runners.

this needs to be sorted, its forcing people away from the arenas

Wasting 2 hours on a random arena match is irrelevant here. The fact that it's even possible to do so says that something needs to be changed so that it can't happen.

Hopefully it will stop all the useless running and useless self healing tank no damage builds.

EDIT: The above comment isnt directed at anyone here... I just see too many matches drag on when they shouldnt because of those mentioned builds.

After 30 minutes, everyone suffers -1 health and energy degeneration, all speed boosts are nullified (no more runners), and everyone loses 100 health every 60 seconds after VoD begins (no 55 HP tanking), no matter what. Fight or die where you stand.

Agreed, retarted enough to waste this much time. TRUE, Ra should have VOD but what will happen it this happens again? You versus a runner? What than?

Even better. But I do agree on the VoD. No RA match should go that long.
I say for VoD, your skills should instantly change to dodgeball skills! That'd be fun.

Its not the 25 Faction the reason for staying. Its to get a glad point.

RA/TA needs this. AoD sins are the worse at this. You can usually body block a runner and kill him. With AoD and dark escape its impossible if they want to run to stop them.

Bringing a snare in RA is not the answer. Your build might not have it and you don't know what your teammates are going to have. That argument holds no water.

I say that after 10 minutes who ever has the most players alive wins.

haha...This is VERY true...because it actually happened to me once and I was the boon prot, same build as OP...

The problem with boon prot is that it's actually better at protecting itself than others.

seriously VoD needs to be in RA. i've been in hour long matches too (i would quit but i'm usually on my 9th or 10th consecutive). since its RA VoD should probably start at 20 minutes.

btw to OP i run the same build in RA

As far as I'm concerned, 15 minutes should be plenty for VoD. At that point, nullify all speed boosts etc. and put the GvG VoD effects on. Or, find something more rewarding and less immaturity-ridden than RA.

Just leave once a match goes over 20 minutes, it's not worth the time for just 25 factions.
