PvP grounds alias arenas

(1/8) > >>

Sius:
PvP is the only thing that keeps majority of players ingame since its beta and PvE element is missing more or less. But PvP was/is/will be possible almost everywhere anytime (since the day one of OBTs) so why not take a closer look at it.

Now PvP takes place in northern towns as they are only thing worth fighting for vs real players. But these towns were meant to be protected by gangs and not to become their playground for fights. Well thats how it developed during testing and I will not try to suggest any changes to current town control since I believe that developers are not satisfied with northern towns and we can expect many changes in months to come. Anyway my suggestion is to make new places designed for single purpose: PvP battles. Such PvP grounds (lets call them arenas) could be created in various types and when I imagine those endless possibilities and combinations. Well that would be hell of a fun!
But if such thing should be successful and enjoyed it should work similar to the current boxing ring that is at Junktown. Players sign up for arena, their current inventory is "saved" and will restore after arena ending. Inside arenas players will spawn with nothing, they will loot only basic equipment in their spawn room. After 20-30 second countdown spawn room opens and match begins. Players will be able to find and loot different weapons/ammo/armors/stimpacks randomly spawned inside arena but that would depend on arena type. After arena goal is reached (oponent team eliminated etc.) players will get rewarded. Reward could be for everyone that participated and based on dmg/kills that each player did, or only for winning team (again depended on arena type).

Team Deathmatch
Two (or more) teams (2/3/5 players per team) enter arena and their only goal is to slay all of their opponents.

Tournament
X players starts tournament but only one can win. Battles should happen in smaller arenas and as 1v1. As soon as the 1st round is over winners move on to next round against other winners from previous round. And at the end of this pyramid elimination we would find our winner. Such tournaments should be rather rare than common since the prestige and reward from their winning should be better compared to other arena types.

Capture the Flag
Two teams (raiders/rangers or BoS/Enclave) fight over opponents flag secret intelligence (rangers=plans of NCR city defenses/raiders=map with location of their base or BoS=weapon plans/Enclave Vbird plans). When intelligence (imagine it as suitcase or something) is taken, carrier is marked by it and as he is in adrenaline rush it boosts his strength+HP significantly (+3 ST and 80 HP or something like that).

Assault
One team is defending their base. The other team is trying to infiltrate base and finish objectives (bomb something, corrupt terminal etc.).

VIP
One team (security) chooses their VIP person (tribe leader/town chief etc.) and they have to escort him to safespot. The other team (raiders) is trying to prevent that and kill the VIP.


Yes I know what most of you is thinking right now. Go play your Quake and let Fallout be Fallout. Yeah but I don't see anything wrong about this suggestion. Even Mad Max had his thunderdome arena thingy, similar with The Running Man etc. So I think that arenas with organized fights to the death pretty much fit post-apocalyptic world that Fallout is. Anyway the hardest part about this suggestion is to incorporate such arenas into the world, so they will feel natural and no just "oh yeah mmo battleground!". But I think that even this can be done somehow but again there is also technical side of the coin and thats something developers have to decide. But I believe that introducing arenas should not be technically that hard since most of the gadgets we need for this are already ingame only used for different purposes.

This is just very basic idea to show you what I have on my mind but I can spend more time on this and write down more detailed stuff and "how it could be done" suggestions. Anyway I would like to know your opinion on Fallout style arenas and battlegrounds.

bipboy:
I really love the idea. In the current situation only big factions got a lot of fun pking in northern towns and others don't. Because they will out number smaller gangs and they have so much items from loot so they care less when they lost.

By play in the arena I guess everybody will have equally fun. Look at some events and today's madness before wipe in NCR you will notice that. People just dont' have it enough in NCR long after GMs were gone. Of course different amount of caps will be charged weather you want to play naked BB gun or APA mrk2/vindicators.

Ganado:
If this is possible to be done, it sounds great, especially since you don't really lose anything - it is just for the fun of fighting.

Drakonis:
love it. Maybe some kind of combat simulator- so the fight/tournament is actually virtual. Bos training camp or something- new location so anyone could use the combat simulator.

Well my idea is more like real PvP with conditions and rules. Place where people can fight among themselves, compare their skills and finally win something if they are better than others. Of course it should not be for free nor risk free. But people should risk their pre-paid cash (or something) instead of whole inventory. Maybe create something like honor system, that would encourage people to play in these arenas. More honor you get, better equip as reward you can collect (its logical, good gladiator is supported better than unknown one).
