So Magical Mages Arena.. Your Thoughts?

[Cyndikate 2303]

An idea I want to propose to the community, and not staff is the Mage's Battle Arena.

 

The idea is comprised of this

 

Each magical member will start out as a basic 'nobility' rank, and to reach a higher rank, one must work their way up by challenging other mages to a battle and defeating them. If a mage obtains a certain number or victories in their certain rank, then they will advance to a higher rank.

 

Losing a fight won't be as punishing unless ranked extremely high. This is to give players incentive to lose a battle, and not have a consequence for it.

 

All fights in the arena would be have an RP fight preferred. PVP fights would usually be decided by the judges and used as a last resort. PVP fights would be restricted to No Armor+Wooden Sword/Stone Axe only.

 

On to the concern of powergaming. With Magic, that's going to happen and we expect players to be sensible and fair to others. Powergaming will be extremely punishible, and enforced with including but not limited to, disqualification from the match, suspension from the arena for a set period of time, or permanently, rank resets, and barred from the matches. This is where judges will make a decision on whether or not to make the match PVP if an agreement cannot be made.

 

OOC Bickering or spamming is also punishable with disqualification, and suspension from the arena temporarily or permanently.

 

----------------------------------

One thing I am not sure of it whether to make it open to the public, or restrict the battle arena and only invite certain players along, making it feel like it's a club.

 

This is more of a club than an arena anyway, and mages will be free to discuss and talk about stuff while they have a chance to test their strength against others.

 

Do you like the idea of a mage's battle arena? Why or why not? Any ideas on how you could improve it and make it more enjoyable?

lol this sounds so dumb, I'm sorry.  Think of the power-gaming, which is especially present with magic.

There is a big problem, rp fights get boring after a while. One fight is nice!... for those involved.

 

But the biggest problem is the amount of fights a mage would do. One fight here, one fight there it's fun and engaging. But if you need to fight because of victories to rank up... well... it should get boring pretty fast.

 

Either way, watching a mage's fight can be veeeeeery boring. Same as watching a normal sword's fight. If you're not involved with it, it's just less boring to walk away.

The RP fights might get a tad repetitive, so you should spice the games up by hosting fun kinda odd games where mages cant use magic and are given swords or some artifacts with nifty abilities to use for a fight. Perhaps terrain problems or timed fights that would encourage creative uses of magic.Also all magic groups should be welcome as long as they don't cause any problems such as necromancers and clerics.

The fact people here don't see the beauty of RP fighting is everything that is wrong with lotc today. 

 

Make it in Bay Island I'd like to see this happen ;3

Anyone who is caught powergaming and causing problems will get the boot instantly and will be kept out indefinitely.

I am also confused as to why peeps are thinking RP fights are boring. 

 

My opinion is this. If you want something like this than do it in RP. Develop an underground or above ground fighting ring for mages. If people are interested then you will see an influx of RP. If not then you just move on.

I really enjoy RP fights, its just making them competitive that sounds like a bad idea.

Well considering you barely do much RP fights, if at all, anyways, why would you care?

Powergaming is easily solved if it's called out between the players.

Pretty much this exactly. Start it in RP, see if people like it. I'm not sure that I'd be interested, but others may have differing opinions.

why don't you just do it

The reason I made this thread is to see if it's worth putting into first. If it's something you all would like to see, then I'll see if I can set it up

I genuinely think this is a fantastic idea, however, it would be better kept a secret imo.
