Great idea !

Not a bad idea my friend.
This would give some nice incentive to keep playing and getting better gear. Is there any item rewards in doing this? To Chris: An easy way to implement this system is instead of "spawning" waves of mobs, just create a smallish room that upon entering, the door shuts behind the player. The player must clear the room for the next door to open. This would be easier (i would think) to implement versus just random monsters spawning? Either way works fine, but having a change of scenery every so often would be nice... Also the ability to play in groups would be cool too. Maybe limit a group up to 4 players? Just an idea. |

" Is there any item rewards in doing this? Yes. If you do Normal Arena Mode you get an Item reward with itemlevel equal to the monster level of the last wave you've completed. For special Arena Mode there might be specific Item rewards. Yesterday I also thought of special Arena gear and maybe a Point system. I will add my Idea to the original Post later. I know this whole Arena thing would be a lot of work. But it could start out simple and become more complex over many patches/expansions. Last edited by KenshiD#1543 on Sep 14, 2012, 3:34:51 AM

Yeah, sounds good. I'm all for arenas of different types. PvP, Endless Wave, etc.
Yours is a lot more indepth on the topic than the usual suggestions but it's pretty much been talked about before. Nothing ground breakingly new here, just do a search for 'arena' and you instantly get dozens of threads. The devs already have plans for PvP 'Arenas' but I'm not sure how they want, if they want, to tackle Endless Wave scenarios or PvE arenas in general. I think to GGG, the Map system pretty much encompass the PvE aspect. It's not endless wave, but it's there for people to constantly grind for xp and perfect their characters. That's essentially what 'endgames' are intended for. Like I said, I don't know how much GGG wants to get into the PvE arena stuff. It seems to me they're more geared towards PvP and that's going to be the real draw for endgame. We'll see I guess. I, for one, would like your suggestions as I'm not a big PvP person. I partake from time to time, but I enjoy PvE mostly. |

" It's true that they will have a PvP arena. I'm personally not a big fan of PvP in any game, in my 10 years of playing D2 I never really played PvP for example. And keep in mind that my idea isn't only "endless waves" it has also different type of arena modes. This makes for a change in what you do, because I don't expect people to only want to kill endless waves of monster. They want to have rules to play with, and different challenges to face. Also an alternative reward system helps to crave for playing the arena. I also think that Maps and the Arena would coexist perfectly. While maps serve the grind, item grind, exp grind, currency grind. And also a change of place. The arena will be a way to test how good you are, without playing PvP. It also offers a competitive aspect in the form of online rankings, who did what kind of arena in what time or in how many waves. There are gamer like Kripparian for example who just really wanna go for that world first, or that first place on the rankings. |

I hope you don't mind me bumping this, at least once.
After open beta weekend this thread really got lost under all the OBWE feedback. So yeah if after the this bump there won't be any more post then it's okay. I just feel after some of the feedback by the other users I give this thread another chance to be seen by some of the other members who haven't seen this and might be interested. (DEVs included) |
