>>2249742arena should have never been implemented into WoW, garbage minigame with garbage balance filled with garbage cheating people.
>>2249750alright but could it have been good?
>>2249742yeah im curious too since its super confusing
Is Arena viewership still regularly below the M+ invitational?In any case, somehow I hate arena less these days. Also with the changes to addons in Midnight arena might actually look pretty different if weakauras are truly dead, we'll see.>what's the best/worst thing about arena?Best: Getting a hard win in vs. a good comp.Worst: Fighting fotm comps over and over with whatever the season's busted crap is.>what makes it fun?Coordinating with friends/teammates/whatever. Until you get gear Arena is a stat-check. Once you have gear and get to 1400 it's a communication-check. By that I mean communication both between you and your team and between you and the enemy. The best thing you can do to prepare for arena is look up what every spec does (you can skip tanks, they're bad by design for arena). You need to have your gay meme plan to win and have an idea of what bullshit the enemy is likely to do.Ultimately BGs are cooler but the rated BG scene is absolutely terrible. The worst part of MMO egos and FPS cheating combined. Blitz is fun though, play that.
>>2250263are tanks fundamentally bad or is there something that could be changed about them to make them viable in arena? do you like having roles in general? is healing fun?
>>2250263Even when arena was fresh, I remember no one truly liked watching it and it was one of the first games to just get dropped from mainstream esports.
>>2252180there was a time where it was a top game though. was that just because barely anything else was around? i never really watched it
Tab target pvp objectively looks silly
>>2252194are there any mmos that use different targeting?
>>2249742Interesting
world pvp mogs
I try to watch it but the fights are always so long. I want arenas to be good. I wish the damage was way higher and the rounds were shorter closer to a fighting game. But, that seems like its not what the people want. Every mmo with arena pvp has long ass fights.
>>2261606WoW sucks with a fast TTK due to tons of CC and some classes having invulnerability skills.You would have to rework those classes and remove invuls otherwise you're just going to have pally/dk/war wotlk tier faceroll tactics just dominate the bracket.
thoughts on alternatives to wasd movement?
>>2249751maybe, the wowarena wc3 custom map was fun
bump
>>2249742arena sucks. its not 1v1 so its retarded. its arena, which in roman times was 1v1. just shows that the white males that knew things left before tbc. then we got the afro black woman dei arena where to make it "fun" and "balanced" 1v1 is just not allowed :)
>>2282183>which in roman times was 1v1it was much more than that
>>2249742Arenas were always a retarded idea.WoW PvP is best with 1v1s or mass combat ie BGsRetail PvP just suffers way too much from lack of visual clarity for viewers and satisfying 'oomph' moments when you're just circling the drain waiting for dampening to kick in because healers get catered to way too much
