Zone vs arena whats different?

I couldnt find any info on how the arena was different from the zone pvp. I was mainly concerned about things like slows/ stuns/ pvp damage resistance, and diminidhing returns. I think the current zone pvp is just retarded with all the DR.

The obvious differences that always existed are the same temps, number of insps, players, no NPCs, etc.

With Arena options you can turn off Travel Suppression and Heal Decay, which is the main thing. Unfortunately, no TS is literally that, rather than the PvE style. Mez still works as it does in zone (sadly), and squishies still get innate Res to All.

When sober girls around me they be actin like they drunk.

Oh zombie!
