Arena idea: GIANTO MONSTAH FIGHT!

So here's a wacky fun thing I thought up last night while doing my laundry: How about a new type of arena battle, where instead of playing your character you are temporarily in control of a GM of your choice, slugging it out against another player who is also a GM? It wouldn't be like a gladiator fight with pets; instead while you were in the arena you would be effectively shapeshifted into GM form, with all the GM's attacks as temporary powers (which the shapeshift would also be). There could be maps built like the city zones, only in miniature, with the buildings destructible like objects in mayhem missions. Unlocking which monsters you can be could be tied to GM defeat badges.


Idunno, I just kinda think that would be awesome.

Now this would be really cool.

Have it to where you could go GM vs GM
or GM vs Team of 8
or 2 GMs vs 2 GMs


Just imagine having Babbage and Eochai teaming up against
Jurassic and Adamaster.
It'd be epic!


Consider me /signed

The giant malta robot GM would own all cause it has minus regen in its attacks and everyone else would just draw. To many HP not enough damage.

Well, yeah, there would be balance issues - but who said the GMs have to be 100% identical to the ones we really fight? They could be rebalanced for this purpose, and only appear in that form while playing that kind of arena battle.

I like it! I would love to go stomping around and smash stuff! Things would have to be tweaked though, currently GM's cannot kill eachother due to their high regen. ( Have you ever watched Jack and Eochai slugging it out? Cool, yes. But it gets boring pretty fast.)

Halve the HP, take away the regeneration and BAM, a fight that will end but can still be fun and epic.

Then just take various maps, convert for destructable objects and a more arena looking feel and it can be awesome. Imagine a closed off Portal Corps courtyard, or the Atlas statue globe being smashed in half.. Oooh, Rikti Mothership? I want to see U'kon Gr'ai fighting the Arachnos Flier on the Rikti Mothership as it floats above Atlas!

There could be several game modes of this.. As said, 1 v 1, 2 v 2, GM vs 8 man team.. How about a Last Man Standing? GM vs GM vs 8 person team.. Full House? At least 1 v 2, one person's chosen at random to be the GMs and they gradually go through the full set available untill the others are dead or they run out of respawns/GMs.. Rampage? GM is slown down to the speed of Walk and has to destroy every destructable on a map before they're defeated by the opposing player/s..

It could be so cool, awesome idea.

Like this.

Except between this and this.
