Arena Maps and You
how about the room at the end of the hero respec trial with the reactor??
mayhem mission map, any of them, long as they have the destructable environments.
Snow version of Atlas Park, (some may remember from original winter lords) with ice around for sliding
Tyrant main room for small teams with lava damage pools
Terra Volta Reactor room, for small teams, minus map hole next to generator that npc's like to keep falling through
Building Construction area of Faultline, with the multi-lvl platforms
Dark Astoria with fog
Shadow Shard, just port over the instanced maps from villain side, and that would be sufficient.
just a few of the top of my head.
The last map in the Cavern of Transendance trial would be cool...places to hide/turtle, and fighting in the center area.
How about some maps we all know really, really well, like the family map or the drek map.
Who thinks the main area of Pocket D would be a good place to fight?
RIP - PvP
If this guy was "Special Forces", it's the sort of "Special" that takes the short APC to the battle.
council earth farm
the room with the giant robot from the striga isle TF (including the lava pit at the bottom)
the clearing with the stonhenge like rocks from the croatoa mish with the waves of fir blogs that you need to kill before they can get to the rocks.
The bottom chamber of the crystal cave from the ice mistrel SF.
The room with the giant eyeball AV on the wall you need to kill. Keep the eyeball and animate it more, but make sure it cant attack or be attacked.
Interior of the pyramid in St.Martial.

I love these 3, especially DA with fog. I would like to see more arena maps with some environmental effects (i.e. the fog in the office building in the Ghost mission in Croatoa).

Should we assume that selectable maps will one day be implemented and start suggesting smaller maps?

lol I'll believe it when I see it... if I'm still here to see it.

Well they have already started looking into some specific pvp things on the wishlist but could only fit in the real easy fixes into this current issue due to the reup of resources and so forth.
Selectable arena maps would proabably fall onto Pohsyb's desk since he has been doing interface work and QoL work.
As stated in posi and castle's recent interview, there was a lot of QoL work that has been on dev lists and unable to be completed for a long time. They have just started addressing this and really working hard to cross off items on those lists.
My bet is when posi gives the go ahead in issue 13 or 14 (sometime this year) for a arena upgrade/pvp upgrade, pohsyb will not disappoint.
I state this because we already know castle is looking into some of these issues on the powers end (via his pvp conversation in our forums) and a couple made it into issue 12 (the TK change, etc...) and I am going to assume more will follow in upcoming issues.
How about pvp in a Cimerora zone?

Destroyed Atlas might be fun too. Not very different than normal Atlas that we already have, but would be a nice mood. ..
Arc 185502: Who Killed Snow Globe? a mini mystery Put together the clues to solve the case!
Arc 22832: And Hell Hath No Fury (extreme)
Will you be the key to the Knives of Artemis' survival? or the instrument of their destruction?

That looks cool, I would RP with my spartan costume. Great ideas so far!
I would like to see some villainside maps added. Just stay away from a grandville map lol.
Ooo! Another Idea... With all the pictures of SG bases.. Why not have a SG base Contest ment for Invasions, then there's a Vote and the winner gets added to the Arena as a Map!

Thanks, Ex.
Frostfire's lair would make for a fun arena map.
I'd love to see more maps on the provision at some point new game modes where to go with them.
I think it'd be cool if they expanded the monkey cage to be the whole Pocket D. Real pvpers wouldn't hate it any less, but I can think of some conceptual uses (bar fights that are not text fights).

That would suck for stalkers lol
Seeing as how this thread is marked for posterity and the images I posted arent likely to last forever, heres the list from my suggestions.
Most popular suggestions from the last time I asked:
<ul type="square">[*]Crey mission map: "Room of Death"[*]Peregrine Island - Portal Corps[/list]
My suggestions:
<ul type="square">[*]Cap Au Diable: Aeon City (open plaza map)[*]Cap Au Diable: New Haven (nice city map with medium sized buildings. The buildings would allow for evasion but be somewhat easy to clear vertically, unlike some of the structures in the Skyway & Steel arena maps.)[*]Cap Au Diable: New Haven w/ WSPDR (same as above, but with the tall WSPDR building, would allow some of the king-of-the-hill style play possible on the Siege Tower map without the annoying impassable fortress.)[*]Cap Au Diable: PTS (nice little area with lots of nooks & crannies possibly too many. Id be worried theres too many objects to get hung up on.)[*]Croatoa: Salamanca (open city area, low buildings)[*]Founder's Falls: Williams Square & surrounding buildings (giant open plaza with a ring of buildings around it. Kind of like the Outbreak map scaled up.)[*]Saint Martial: Carnie Tents (I want this. Looks cool, and looks fun to PvP around and over.)[*]Saint Martial: Jackpot (a long corridor with lots of ledges and vertical play on the sides. Very cool looking at night.) [*]Sharkhead Isle: Port Recluse vicinity (open city map with a fairly large water tower-thing in the middle.)[*]Sharkhead Isle: The Pit (might be annoying, but has the real potential of being an interesting balancing act. One false move and you could fall and fall behind the action.)[*]Sharkhead Isle: Villa Requin (open map with few but significant obstacles)[*]Talos: New Corinth (a towering city map much like the Steel & Skyway maps, perhaps a bit more closed in than those)[*]Talos: Southwest near Argo Highway (an area with green grass, roadrunner-style rock formations, and some fairly deep water channels)[/list]

Dam, someone bet me to it
Possible the Thorn Tree island. Most stuff redside is too gloomy/clustered for my taste.
How about some new "Arena-Specific" Maps. Like a say...a Roman Coliseum?
