QoL: Add Arena Terminals in PvP Zone Hospitals

I've got this great new idea and I'm shocked this has never been suggested before!

PLEASE add arena terminals in each of the pvp zone hospitals.

This will be a HUGE QoL improvement and increase the use of the arena.

Allowing players who fight in the zones to create fair and even arena matches when they want to will be great for the pvp environment in this game.

With DR, they might as well add an inspiration store to go with each terminal too.

Please!

Thank you.

Maybe smack talk will go down too?

/signed, great idea.

Yes! This -is- a fantastic idea.

Terp's on a roll: Two suggestions that I agree with 110%

-Rachel-

---

Um, why don't you just go to the Arena?

Really, how is the Arena going to get more use by adding an Arena kiosk nowhere near an Arena?

What's the matter with actually using the Arena?

This.

Hey Sonic!

this is actually a really really old idea... im guessing the only reason why it hasnt been done is for the RP reason that Blackavaar gave.

While we are at it, add a PVP booster pack that give the equivalent of HP and END accolades as well as archmage, vanguard, and geas temp powers that can be used in arena and zone pvp (but these power cancel each other out so they are not stackable).

Also while we are at it give all accolades to any toons on test and add a IO store (ones that sell IOs, NOT recipes) so that those who like to try builds out on test they dont have to spend a lifetime Duping stuff from live servers.

It has, in a way, been suggested - not specifically in hospitals that I recall, but similar things have been suggested. The location makes sense, though.

And as always for this - /signed.

(The issue I have with inspirations in PVP zones isn't making things "fair" or "unfair" - because if they're available to everyone, well... but that they, of all things, make suppression kick in. Or at least they used to, but I don't recall that being changed since. Makes little sense to me.)

Flipside of this -

Why is there no option to go to a PVP-specific area to quickly run, say, a duel (another PVP option) from a PVP zone?

It's a matter of convenience for those interested in PVP.

---

Good idea.

Currently, if you want to duel someone you run into in a zone you have to

A) Start dueling and hope no one interrupts you, since there is nothing you can do about it if they do.
-OR-
B) Both of you head to the nearest arena to the entrance of the zone you're in. Which is annoying to have to do.

One kiosk in either side's hospital would serve the purpose just fine.

---

I agree that this is a good idea and option for players that want to duel "quietly" real quick and then get back in the action.

I am fine either way with inspiration use. Without them, you have to plan better, but with them, it keeps the action going.

---

Glad to see folks do support this idea. Of course, this idea is not "new" as I have been suggesting it since DAY ONE of the pvp zones, and many others have had the same suggestion over the years.

I think it's time to make it happen!

To Blackavaar, the whole point of the QoL suggestion is to make it easier to get to the Arena. Right now, if you want to go from a pvp zone to the arena, you often need to travel through multiple zones, and then make the opposite journey back to the pvp zone. It's very annoying. Adding arena kiosks to the areas where pvp'ers actually play makes intuitive sense.

12 heroes vs 2 villains isn't a whole lot of fun for anyone, more times than not. With arena kiosks in the zones, the 14 players could quickly enter a fair and fun fight. Trying to get those same 14 players to travel through multiple zones to get to an existing arena is an almost impossible task. Why not make arena fights more convenient?

And Billy, Billy Billy Billy, I'm glad you support this suggestion, but I'd prefer you return me to your ignore list. We will likely disagree again in the future, and I'd simply prefer not to receive any more psychotic/whiny PMs from you. Thanks!

---

You probably are still ignored, but someone quoted you.


and /signed too - no reason for this not to be in game ritenao!

Also, RP reasons should never be the reason for not adding in something to the game.

Just so you can't twist or portray this as anything else, I'm going to say this here:

You were temporarily placed on ignore at the time specifically because of nonsense like this. Not because of disagreement, but because of deliberately choosing phrasing and wording to goad. I have no problem with those disagreeing with me on issues - I've disagreed with CobaltConstable here, for instance, or Jack_Nomind, and argue almost constantly with EvilGeko. It's the manner they do so in that makes the difference.

After a while, as irritation and rhetoric fade, I tend to take most people *off* of it, since *most* people end up with something worthwhile to say more often than not. Yes, including you. There are very few people - and no, I'm not naming any - who have shown they're just not worth taking off of it at all.

I'll put you back on ignore if you wish. I'll only request that in return you do the same to me, given your comments quoted above. "Put your money where your mouth is," so to speak.

With something like this i would also be more inclined to do random kickball events and swiss tournys and stuff like that (afaik the 'new' swiss option has pretty much gone unused i think for the whole reason the arenas are not readily accessible by ppl who are in the process of pvping (IE zones)) I personally dont like spending 5-10 mins zoning just to go to pocket D when im already in RV, just to watch a 10 mins fight and then head back to RV.. its really annoying.

The Truth!

Maybe they can link the pvp zones while they're at it!

Woo Hoo! No more PM's from the forum cartel accusing me of trying to pad my post count (which I did actually find quite hilarious, since he wasn't joking).

I don't personally feel the need to ignore forumites who disagree with me from time to time, and if I did I certainly wouldn't broadcast it in the forums like a maroon. Sometimes people you don't like post some of the most laughable ideas, and I wouldn't want to miss out on those...So keep 'em comin'.

I don't recall ever "accusing you of trying to pad your post count." Perhaps you're thinking of someone else, or were having issues reading. Nor do I make anything of a forum-post-count title, or the count behind it.

Didn't read the above, did you. I don't, either. I do, however, tend to drop people on it who are having extreme cases of cranial-rectal inversion.

However, I should probably keep you *off* of ignore to watch for further pathetic libel attempts and personal or character attacks on your part.

Perhaps your memory is as good as your ideas.

I know what you said, and I know the REAL reason (you were being ignorant and hypocritical and I called you out).

I would have gladly discussed this issue with you privately but apparently your MO is to broadcast that your ignoring someone, insult their character, un-ignore for the purpose of sending long-winded and crazy pm's with additional insults and then ignoring again.

You may unignore folks when you realize that not everything they say is intended to completely shoot down one of your foolish ideas/arguments, but I don't forget the ignorant attacks that get sent to me via PM by fools like you.

I apologize for the derailment regarding billy. I probably should have sent him a PM regarding this issue when I realized he wasn't ignoring me.

If you want to actually have a *discussion* on it via PM....I have my doubts that either (a) you will have such a discussion honestly.

[/ QUOTE ]
Even a broken clock is right twice every day! You're correct that I'm not interested in having a discussion with you via PM. I just wanted to send you a response to your PM to say that the pvp "idea" you had that lead up to your "psychotic/whiny" PM to me really was the worst pvp suggestion I've ever seen, and you shouldn't have been surprised by some of the negative feedback you received in the thread. You've been around long enough to know that people will disagree with you, so you shouldn't get your panties in a bunch when that happens. Also, it's probably best if you keep me on ignore, as I'm not inclined to agree with ridiculously bad ideas, and I'd hate to upset you the next time you have a suggestion.

...

On topic, this WAS a serious suggestion…three years ago…and it should still be implemented.

---

If you want to actually have a *discussion* on it via PM, and honestly represent what's said, I'm more than open to it.

You mention insulting character and insulting, yet that's precisely what you're doing now. You, after all, brought it back up after a *statement of support* of the idea by me. Starting with "psychotic/whiny," when no statement had been made about you in this thread or any other for some time. Therefore, I have my doubts that either (a) you will have such a discussion honestly, or (b) represent it truthfully, given your attitudes and statements so far.

Edit: Not surprised by him in the least. Pretty much what I figured. He'd rather call names than actually work things out. Too bad.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

I like this idea.

Devs, do this. It'd be a good thing.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Nesting PvP zones inside PvP zones could be problematic.

If this suggestion comes to fruition, then later on we may find ourselves with PvP zones that have kiosks, that have arena kiosks in arenas that have arena kiosks in arenas that have arena kiosks.....

I don't follow that at all. Can you try to clarify? It would seem that we would have PvP zones with Arena kiosks, and the chain ends there.

1) Enter pvp zone
2) Click arena kiosk
3) Zone-in to arena match
4) Zone-out to pvp zone hospital

---

I was trying to be facetious.

---

I like the original suggestion. It just seems to work. It seems more thematic than Pocket D does to me. I like the notion of people being able to go from the zones to the arena, no interuption.
