Celtic Heroes

Not an instance ? How will players get into area they intend to fight in or is it turn on and your hostile I think 2 gates which set your team maybe have a gate gaurdian who will attack any member of opposite team that is within range of that spawn point or you will have one team just rush and camp the spawn preventing other team getting into game
Have a spawn each end and 3 or 4 corridors that lead into an open map area that would hopefully get rid of gate campers

This is how I envision it would work;

I log in and am at the farm so I fast travel to the PVP area

(Free fast travel regardless of what I am holding because you cannot walk to the competitors area, it can only be reached by fast travel. You can however walk to the spectators area where there are consignment shops, the bank, clan houses, taverns etc).

I look on the available board and see names classes and levels and an xp rating of what I will get if I beat him. IF there is nobody I am interested in fighting, I place my name on the available board. Then I fast travel back to where I came from (again free and only back to where you came from).

After a few minutes adventuring I get a challenge request showing name, class, level and xp. There are three buttons, accept, decline, and wait a minute. I select wait a minute because I am in a boss fight so a challenge pending button appears that will expire in 1 minute (slowly changing color) if I don’t accept the challenge.

I finish up and press the challenge pending button. I appear in the arena at full strength to meet my opponent. A timer starts which gives me 15 seconds to look at my opponent, change gear, prep my person, and select my first offensive skill which won’t start executing until the gong.

Gong; I lose. (Winner gets his choice of emotional outburst. Kick the body, carry it off the field, etc.)

I wake up in the steam room where we both recover and have a chance to chat and then choose to travel back.

I am returned to the place I started fully refreshed (this gives people incentive to participate).

I immediately receive a new challenge request which I decline. I travel back to the arena and take my name off the available board so I won’t be bothered by requests while I nurse my bruised ego.

I recommend postponing the group challenges until you work the kinks out of the one on one first. The all hostile area is a great idea but I believe that is called a tavern. Again work out the kinks first.

I like your ideas but i highly doubt that it can be set up that way in a short ammont of time. It also sounds alot like roman gladiators rather than celtc.

It would be more ideal to have the 3 separate arenas. However I understand that there may be less people if you create multiple arenas. In my opinion Free for All and Group vs. Group will be fine, but for Clan vs. Clan that requires a lot of players and may not work.

You could have 3 arenas in the same general location.

That way you could have one main lobby and 3 smaller lobbies connecting to the large one.

Group arenas arent going to be used as much as the other two I dont think.

I think that there should be a clan arena, where the clan chieftains can give a challenge to another clan chieftain. Also, there should be a pvp for single and groups, but that people from any world can join. Like that, there will always be someone to fight against.

Seeing aspvp i new world v world is a bad idea till the bugs are worked out
