We need some Open pvp Zone ( not Arena with que sht )

guys it has been mentioned in quite a few other threads. I agree open pvp is needed but we seriously should all stick to the original thread in order to show our unified requests and support for this feature. I will find the link.

this is essentially the first request for open pvp areas hosted by player created instances. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/229849

amazing idea..

a wp to a big ole colosseum type map...
max 8 players in an instance...
insta join
party features!! just like d2.
:O
could implement free for all king of the hill type games in the future (hold the middle, 1 pnt a second, first to 100 wins)

I WANT THIS DONE, someone make this a reality please GGG

You mean the Sarn arena that they just recently added to the game...?

Its a lot of fun by the way, if you can find anyone to FFA :(

This request really wasn't for FFA. It was for D2 Hostile, or a lobby-based equivalent.

please kill this thread because GGG has already said they will not add a hostile button. Their answer to open area pvp is the sarn arena. Lets move on to things that can happen and are worth our focus. I too loved d2 hostile button but this is poe not diablo 2 no matter how similar the 2 games are.

I'm sure that depends on GGG's rationale. If they were to see that rationale change or challenged, surely they would draw different conclusions. We've seen them change their stances in the past, for example loot allocation among other things.

What is painfully clear is that this thread is not about FFA and FFA has not placated any of the consternation voiced here.

its just a waste of front page on forums because its not going to happen. I really doubt they would make the sarn arena and then completely change their minds after the investing that time. Why would they have multiple open zones for pvp? I mean that would be rad and all but with the amount of fixing they need to apply to pvp, imo they cant afford to spread themselves thin on so many projects. Its taking forever to get tourneys....I imagine the wait for open zone pvp, when they are already making cutthroat, is going to be beyond our patience.

I think there is a miscommunication about what 'open zone' means.

1) MOST crucial Point. Make players host/create PvP games just like the public parties on the noticeboard (similar) as we see in game atm. Let the players write game name and be able to set Lvl restrictions (free access from 10-max lvl with inclines of 5: e.g lvl 10-25 if you want to do that) in a similar way D2 worked (and it worked flawless. Played D2 PvP for 4 years). Then there will be no problems with too big lvl differences. Let the player choose. Also it will be easy for a friend(s) to join and team up in e.g 2on2 3on3 4on4 and to team up while waiting for people to join etc which leads to the second point.

I didn't pick that thread for any specific reason. It was the first that came up when I googled 'pvp suggestions path of exile'. But it remonstrates what you're saying. Specifically, it has nothing to do with a FFA hop-in-hop-out arena like the most recent PvP addition. It's quite the opposite of an unstructured arena. The point being players can apply as much structure to their game as they want, it's not one size fits all.

Let's take a look at the OP of this thread:

One thing i loved at Diablo 2 was to join a "D DU DUE DUEL" Game and just own with my friends, a open zone where all people mess up each other, We need this, Que arena is shit u have no trashtalk in it ( we all love it :D ) and everyone goes their way after the game is done...

But don't take my word for it. Ignore all that. Look at Path of Exile's PvP community objectively and decide for yourself. Have any of these one size fits all, anti-social additions dramatically increased the population of PvP? I don't mean a short spike either, like what happened after the addition of CTF, I mean for the long term. It doesn't appear that way to me.

bro u can use the sarn arena for teamfights too. Just consider it team damage and focus the enemy while avoiding hitting eachother....I plan to schedule HC lvl 28 sarn arena pvp like this for fun.
