Arena Question and Thoughts

[Braingkk (OP)]

This is NOT a grievience, and so this is in the general section of forums.

if someone is in the arena and is on a killing spree in such a way that their inv is full.
so they r standing over their pile of loot killing all that come as the mound continues to grow......

is it douche for a vip player to come in, take the pile, and then tp out of the arena?
any regular player has the 5secs wait,  if they get hit etc the tp is cancelled, so an arena winner can protect winnings in such a way that they can sort inv etc

please do not name any names in this thread, as i just want simple opinions.

Usually there isn't more then 2-4 people in the arena. If they TP out of the arena They should not be allowed to TP back to it.
Maybe we can set up an Anti-TP Zone inside the arena.
Also raise the fence on the edge of the arena. Too many people sniping from outside the arena, and people escaping/joining the fight by using the sponge to jump up there.

As a note on that. That is against the rules (out-> in = offense, in -> out = Don't stand on the wall.

As for making it a TP deny area, that is not hard, but that prevents people from getting out if doors are closed ie sitting duck.

to set the arena as a no tp zone would make it harder for many battles, as they usually start with a "tp to me in the arena"
in addition, a 'no keeps' battle would be harder to arrange, as the loser cannot come back for the agreed items they can get back

maybe (not sure if this is possible) to set the arena with a 5sec wait period for ALL players so vip cannot insti tp out. i rly dont care when they tp in, as that is part of how the arena works. its when they can escape w/o having a fair fight that i dont like

Also raise the fence on the edge of the arena. Too many people sniping from outside the arena, and people escaping/joining the fight by using the sponge to jump up there.

i definitely agree, tho mostly because i tend to hit players out of the arena when i hit them, and its a pain when they take longer to get back in to regain extra health etc

It would be possible to add a wait period to all, but the complexity on it would most likely mean it would not always work, be a much larger server load then this is a problem.


Also with the hitting people out of the arena, If you see there is a warp sign on the  wall (Outside, toward Quallia) Just right click that and have the fight there (Atlantis).  I am working on doing a bit more logic sets for them so that as two players you can open the doors from the tunnels (where both players must hit a button within 10 seconds or so of each other), but as of right now Atlantis still requires an external party to work.


I have quite a few things to get done so no idea when it will be ready for a non third party system. I do after all have to get my druid to level 90 gear him out for 4 specs, then fix all the VIP warps.

Just so you know, You can /back to the arena. However I am not sure if you can /tp to the arena, I will need to try that out myself.

You just can't /tp out of the arena.
Now to fix shooting from outside the arena
