Offer your suggestion to make arena usefull again. Il throw in my ideas. You can improve those or suggest your own idea



Detailed combat information shown on webpage for all players

#1
Special unique item for top 1-10 in arena ranking (the number 10 would be changed based on how many cc,d1,d2,d3,d4,d5 players there are on server. This applies for all my suggestions)

#2
Small ammount of fame from group fights to the winning group

#3
Random g1/+1(red) item from group fights to the winning group

#4
Small exp bonus for top 1-10

#5
g2(blue) smart bonus for top 1-10

#6
top 1-10 recieve daily crit and/or random item(s) as long as they are in top 1-10

#7
Special tag above player name. Each class would have its own top 5
Top 1: [Winner - Best in PK]
Top 2: [Insane Pker]
Top 3: [Awesome Pker]
Top 4: [V.Good Pker]
Top 5: [Good Pker]

Note: You dont have to think about abuse.

I think I like number 2 and 3 the best because those are based on groups and not individuals.
As I see it there are a number of players who have a higher ping than other players (those in asia have a higher ping). Obviously a higher ping means reacting slower than those with a lower ping. Hence those people have a significant handicap which will make it a lot harder for them to reach the top 10. If, however, rewards are group based (and groups are properly formed so the average ping and level is the same) then they also benefit from the arena, making it fair for everyone.

Let the tag be customize-able?
The difference btwn top 1 to 10 would be the colour?

Will th ranking be reset every week or every month? I hate things like this because the new players rarely or ever get a chance to catch up. think if a old player has 50K ladder and a new player just joins. It'll be a long time before he gets 51k ladder to get top spot. In the same thing the 50K ladder guy could keep on getting ladder.

special items/rewards would need to be locked to the char.

I would say no to the suggestions unless a similar thing is implemented in war. If pking in the arena gives a bigger advantage than pking in war, then no one will want to join war anymore and would only Pk in the arena. No breaking stones? no running? instant revival after death? rares that make you stronger? sign me up. Only thing it's missing is df/fame rewards to be better than war in every way.

but a lot of this suggestions are good one (Y)

I believe that in the arena if you win, you get + ladder. when you lose you get - ladder.

for example: if the winning team win a G1 item the looser team should loose something more then just loosing ladder cause it is a good thing exchanging ladder points for free rares dont you think? xD

in other suggestions this things could also happens so maybe only loosing ladder would make it possible to ppl to exploit this feature

i like #4 but i dont understand how #7 would work, would it be like the Crossing Class title above your char? if so then i also like that 1 as its kinda like what i suggested a while ago about making the arena a pk rating
