Curse

I propose a new PvP for people who are just out to have fun -
A new Random Arena at the Dragon's Lair - The Facet Arenas!

Teams would be randomly assigned, just like in the Lion's Arch Random Arena - randomly and in teams of four.

The arenas would be have abilities just like the areas one encountered in the Dragon's Lair mission.
Arena of Light - All characters suffer from -3 Health degeneration.
Arena of Nature - All character suffer from decreased movement speed. This will probably be a relatively small arena.
Arena of Chaos - Enchantments and Hexes take 50% longer to cast and last for half their duration. This area would also contain a few low walls like those present near the Facet of Chaos.
Arena of Darkness - All characters suffer from -1 Energy degeration and would be enchanted with Death Nova.
Arena of Elements - Every 10 seconds, Firestorm, Maelstrom, Eruption, or Chain Lightning will cast at a random target. The spell would affect both sides.
Arena of Strength - Every 20 seconds, every character will be struck by a random condition or knocked down.

You would have different objectives or games to play, also chosen at random when you zone in an arena.
Deathmatch: Simply eliminate the other team.
Face the Facet: Your team will go against the respective Facet of the arena with its guardians. The guardians would be two Forgotten Sages for the Facet of Light,
two Enchanted Bows for the Facet of Nature,
a Crystal Spider and Forgotten Illusionist for the Facet of Chaos,
a Forgotten Cursebearer and Rock-Eater Scarab for the Facet of Darkness,
a Forgotten Arcanist and Crystal Guardian for the Facet of Elements, and
a Enchanted Sword and Enchanted Hammer for the Facet of Strength.
My Egg!: In the middle of the map would be place an egg. Picking it up would have an affect on the team that possesses it. If carrying the egg, after taking half your health in damage in less than two seconds, you will be knocked down and drop the egg. You also drop the egg when he dies.
-In the Arena of Light, possessing the egg would provide a +1 Health Regeneration to all allies within ward range [not including self].
-In the Arena of Nature, the egg carrier will not be able to move, but will grant his teammates +5 armor and the ability to move at normal speed.
-In the Arena of Chaos, the egg carrier will make his team untargetable by spells cast by others, both enemy and allied.
-In the Arena of Darkness, the egg carrier will be granted +3 Energy regeneration [overall +2] not be enchanted by Death Nova.
-In the Arena of Elements, the egg carrier's team will gain +40 armor against elements and -10 armor against physical attacks.
-In the Facet of Strength, the egg carrier's teammates [not including self] will do +25% damage and take 33% more damage.

I think this would be a great idea because it would provide a refreshing and fun PvP experience. What do you think?

Sounds good. Great idea. The only one i could see being a prob is the -3 health deg as some ppl refuse to bring self healing lol. But other than that sounds awesome.

I think -1 health degen would be better, maybe -2. -3 would make battles way too short.

And if this happened, I think there should be some positive ones also. As in +1 health regen, +1 energy regen, increased speed, etc...

I wanted the Facet Arenas to a place of action and lots of matches. -3 would help keep the matches going pretty fast and can also help counter Invinci-monk builds.

Well I guess if your goal is just fast and lots of matches that would work. But I would also like to see the positive ones for even more variety and more fun.

I like the idea, but I think ANet has said they don't want to add any more arenas, because they are afraid they will split PvP'ers even more *grumbles*
