Curse

Okay, some of you have been asking for this and some of you haven't, but I think we all want this sooner or later.

"So you're minding your minding your own business when someone just called you a noob. What are you going to do about it? Obviously, either a) insult that person back or b) ignore it. Chances are, you wish you could prove to that person who the real noob was. So here you just got called a noob and the best you can do is put that person's name on your ignore list."

Has that ever happen to you? Do you believe that rank is nothing? Do you want an option of finding out who the 1337 players really are? Only through a petition my friend, only through a petition.

Here's what I'm asking. It's very simple. (After all these PVP updates, you can at least give the comunity this.) Make a "Solo Arena." In this arena you can either choose to go against a random opponent or choose to challenge someone else by typing that player's ign into a text box. Of course, the other player has to agree to it first, so that player goes to Solo Arena as well and waits on the first person to challenge him to a duel. When the first person clicks the "Request Challenge" button a box would pop up on the other player's screen saying, "<So & so> challenges you to a duel, do you accept?" Then the other player decides from there.

This would solve any disputes between two people. If you both are arguing on who's better, prove it! You can always have a best two out of three to show who's truly the most 1337.

Not only that, but make another ranking system up! Something that shows experience in this type of arena. In GVG, you have the ladder. In HOH, you have "/rank". Make the solo arena have its own emote like "/solo". This will definitely make the whole rank problem null & void. Rank only means time dedicated into playing HOH. It also shows how many mods & skills you unlocked (hopefully) and what type of builds play in HOH. Rank does not show SKILL. Competition Arena (now Random Arena) shows skill. You KNOW who the good players are when you team up with them. In Random Arena, you have to choose skills that you know will help the team in some way or another, not based on everyone else like needing an Orders Necro or a Taint Necro in IWAY. Solo Arena ladder would show who the best players are against any build using one or more different builds effectively. And that shows TRUE SKILL.

So please, sign my petition. Let's have Solo Arena available to us Competition/Random Arena lovers and for all of those who just want a way to settle our disputes like grown men & women instead of calling each other names back & forth like some kids.

Just my hopes in a game that continues to get better,

You might want to copy and paste this post into this thread instead.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=3785

Chances are this thread will be locked by mods pretty soon.
However, if the mod is in a good mood, he or she might move this thread and merge it with the official thread. But I am merely making a guess.

There are a total of 16 pages in that thread, and that thread is made official by the authorities of this forum. I believe the 16 pages of discussion about 1 vs 1 could already function as a strong petition for wanting a 1 vs 1 arena.

Random 1 vs 1 would not really work out well, unless there are some specific rules applied to the 1 vs 1 arenas. You can get stalemates easily, or either would be unable to kill each other, etc.

Some examples of rules to be applied to the 1 vs 1 arenas could be:
- time limit (say 60 seconds)
- 'special' modes activates after time limit is reached

What kind of 'special' modes?
- Beserker Death (both players has the 'special 1 vs 1 arena skill - Beserker Death' activated on them)

Berserker Death
- Increased 50% attack speed
- Increased 50% movement speed
- Takes double damage

Counts as a skill, unremovable until death.

Obviously, this berserker death would perhaps be best suited for 2 dueling warriors who uses weapons.

For casters, something similiar yet different could be applicable. Such as:
<insert cool name associated with casters here>
- Casting time reduced by 50%
- Skill recharge time reduced by 50%
- Casting costs reduced by 50%
- Takes double damage

Then again, all of these could be combined into one skill, perhaps named it:

Balthazar's Fury
- Attack Speed increased by 50%
- Movement Speed increased by 50%
- Takes double damage
- Skill activation time reduced by 50%
- Skill recharge time reduced by 50%
- Skill costs reduced by 50%
- Takes double damage

For example:

- 'death match' mode activates after time limit is reached

Done.

I think what's been said is good enough, you know what I was going to say in this post.
