So, the monthly GD letter said that expanded teams in the PvP arena are being done, but no match-making.Originally Posted by Game director letter Jan 2015
I guess match-making would be based on rankings. However, if the arena is linked to leader boards, then match-making could be done by players themselves. Would be cool to see teams rise and fall and be challenged by new teams etc.
Not sure how team rankings would work. I am guessing that leader boards for teams would be linked to the team name and the round wins and losses of that team compared to others, so that the players in a team can be changed. One v one leader boards would work based on kills. (Kill = round win in one v one, but not in larger teams.)
One v One is not balanced, but is a must especially for a PvP arena, as the old RP-PvP Pit on Aquilonia proved. If a player is able to beat others with a "non-OP" class, then it is a fair display of skill. And it was always fun to watch the tactics that people used one v one especially if the players are good players. (sorry reminiscing there at the end. :-)
So, good news, in summary, I guess.
