1-on-1 PvP Arena where other players can watch and cheer the fights!!
Here is my next great idea... I think...
1) There should be a 1-on-1 Death Match PvP Arena. It should consist of a single large room, much like the spawn room in the CTF map, but styled more like the Gladiator Arena.
2) Other players will be allowed to join the game, but as audience members where they can watch the fights and also type their comments in the chat log (just as if they were in town). The audience members will see from the perspective as if they were standing in the center of the arena with a wide angle view (zoom function all the way out), but of course they would just be watching the action and would not have a visual of their own character. This would be fun for tournaments or just watching some of the pro players fight it out.
3) This "Death Match Arena" will be located in the Great City of Kraag, and will have 2 entrances next to each other -- 1 for the fighters and 1 for the audience members.
4) If you enter the fighters entrance, you will be placed in a random game where another player is waiting for an opponent. If no such games exist, you will be placed in a new game where you will wait for an opponent to join. if your friend wants to fight you, he can press the "join" button on the friends list and can become your opponent.
5) If you join a party and then enter the fighters entrance, you will be placed in a new game, and only another member of your party will be able to enter as your opponent -- much the same way the party function works in PvE dungeons.
6) Players who enter the audience entrance will be placed in the audience of a random match.
7) If you press the "join" button on the friends list, and your friend is currently in a match, it will give you the option of joining the audience for that match (or becoming his opponent if he does not yet have one).
8) For 30 seconds before each fight, a force field will divide the room (similar to the force field that closes off the spawn room before a CTF match starts). During this time, both players will be returned to full health and mana. There will be a countdown like in the Gladiator Arena, and when it says "Go", the force field will drop and the fight will begin.
9) When the fight is over, after a small delay both players will be returned to their original spawn position, and the force field will reappear for 30 seconds again.
10) The death match ends when one player reaches 10 kills.
11) When the match is over, the loser is booted from the arena and becomes an audience member. Then any audience member (including the loser from the previous match) has the opportunity to join the next match and face the winner of the previous match. If nobody from the audience joins after 30 seconds, then the game will become open again for a new player who enters the fighters entrance to join the fight.
Anyone like the sound of this??
