Cross League PvP char only instance/town [Straw Poll]

2 down votes and no explanation why...pretty troll.

Sarn arena inside a "lvl 28 cross-league" staging area would boost the quality of PVP ten-fold.

An even simpler solution would be extending the area around Sarn arena, allowing pvp only chars to visit this area, and having the outside area of sarn arena contain the stash chests and vendors or masters. There needs to be a more public place for PvP only characters to hang out at the very least. If it was cross league that makes it 10x better but I have been informed this is very difficult, althought not impossible ; ).

Oh man imagine a cross league pvp town, local chat could be a unified guild chat for all pvp guilds.

Glorious.

That would be so epic. Guild hideouts would make this viable, 32 member at a time guild hideout? We'd all be joining into super guilds just to hang out in the same hideout, I think it would provide a lot for a sense of pvp "community" for the pvp community.

YES exactly. Its not fun losing in PvP or putting a ton of work into a character and sit in your h/o alone. The social aspect is lacking. I know guilds help a ton, and so do team pvp events but investing into the more social aspect of pvp would also make pvp more entertaining for newer players as well as more competitive for veteran members. The veteran members presence in these towns would be pretty continuous, atleast I would think. We are online on our pvp chars sitting in a h/o often. Making a few builds and losing constantly while u sit alone in your h/o with no one to consult other than a few pvpers in your guild (not many pvp guilds around) I can imagine is awful.

A pvp town would have people constantly linking gear and competing with min maxing. People showing off corrupts and crafted gear. Sporting alt art, and new MTX. It would boost the sales of MTX imo. A pvp town could add so much longevity to the game. PvP should be more lively : (

Why are people downvoting without gaing an honest explanation why it is a bad idea and why they're not for this? I wouldn't be affected by this but I know people playing alot with their BLD buds and they want to play together in the 3v3s, so why not?

more down votes without explanation why. So many trolls.

Obviously something needs to happen or pvp will never properly take off. Too many players getting bored being imprisoned within their own hideouts.........

its funny to me, everyone thinks no one pvps because of gear barrier or pvp balance...I think these aspects make finding a build rewarding and getting the gear is rewarding. The problem with pvp is how segregated and anti social it is. newer players on their pvp only characters spamming trade in some of the dead leagues or the popular leagues where its even harder to trade because all the trade bots. Eventually u find someone that has the piece of gear you want but they want an assload for it. Trading in a pvp town would create an epicenter for like minded players to barter, show off goods, make teams, recruit and join guilds, and if it was linked to sarn arena you could go in and test freely and come back to town to change teams. Add pvp titles to solo and team pvp queues and I guarantee pvp would start to thrive.

Gear barrier is one thing, gearing alone with no one to help you while you are doomed to sit in your h/o is another.


A really simple idea would be to extend the area around sarn arena. Each of the gates into the sarn arena limit hostile actions outside, kinda like diablo 2 towns. Outside sarn arena would be vendors/masters stash/guildstash.
