Halikus.1406 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I gotta say, that was a very good job by anet's designers. THAT is what I call an arena, bigger, with obstacles(LoS) and a lot more attractive.Good Job anet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kako.1930 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Sounds exciting. I hope the benches aren't awkward to watch from. I'd like to see some open duels play out there. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephiroth.4217 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think it's an amazing arena and I've had some fun toying with people already... Not sure if it's intended or not so I'm going to post it.You can Mass Invis people from the pillars and use FB Tome heals and such, lots of fun but some people found it annoying during their duels.Jackal engagement is fun and a good way to start a free for all, although some felt like it was unfair but it's really easy to jump the fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieux P.1238 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Please Anet.. LEAVE FALL PUSH PULL OVER THE CLIFF RESPAWN AS IS IN THE NEW FREE ARENA. DO NOT FIX!WE having a blast pushing & trolling ppl over it. & the fact i can get caught in my own set up as well & respawn over the next WP makes it infuriating & fun.Exactly the chaos that this game needs. If you fix it or clean it up in someways you take a part of what makes it fun away. There should be a free arena small or no bigger then this one in every major cities. Not in some empty instance like the guildhall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karras.2945 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The new arena is much better than the previous version which didn't have enough space or enough cover for melee professions to take advantage of LoS and prevent damage from ranged professions like the ranger. Also, being able to sit and watch people fight in the arena is a nice addition.My main problem with the arena since the very beginning is that it's free for all. Instead of that, why not make everyone neutral and have the option to challenge other players in a duel? That way trolls can't interrupt players in their 1v1 duels. I get that it's an arena, but it would be nice to be able to duel players without being interrupted by other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of us are having a blast with out havingpeeps complaining on how not boring anoth it is.STOP TRYING TO CHANGE WHAT'S FUN TO NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor.6392 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 BIG props. This is something I wanted for soooo long. The old arena was so bad it was disgusting. Just a square and walls with a lolsafetyspot.Great job, and great job with the mesmer nerfs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daishi.6027 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I love the new arena it has everything!Wide enough space that AoE builds don't poop 1/3 of the arena.Area to kite if your build allows it.Places to LoS Range.Z-axis on one obstacle.No teleport zone on another.Punishment for being knocked off the ledge.Corners near said ledges to play around (Reminds me of old sky-hammer point A.)Safe OOC areas make it hard to re access.Chairs!Only thing I could ask for is more of this, but this has everything and it is wonderful. Also I'm not to sour about people standing on pillars and casting in, it's kinda interesting and fun. You get hit by cleave sometimes anyways this isn't to much different and most beneficial things help multiple players. It's part of the natural chaos of the arena, but unlike before it's not damage coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravan.3876 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 This arena is like 3000000 times better than the old one, no claustrophobia feelings anymore and a bit friendlier to the eyes/ brighter. The benches above are nice. Also i like the respawn outside of it, the jump out of the arena was abused to get another target- and positionreset very often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
