Hello, I have some suggestions on how to make our pvp experiences more fun. 1. Make an option to choose which arena you want to fight in practice pvp. 2. Have modes exclusive to tournaments available for practice pvp, such as the classic 4v4. 3. Make an ability to choose the level of players you want in your house if you own an arena house. 4. Make a separate kiosk in the arena to promote pvp houses and join in. (you need #3 for this). 5. Bring back the open pvp arena where anyone can join in. 6. Make a separate ranking for 3v3 and 4v4, to promote more team pvp. So pretty much the leaderboards will have a 1v1 and 2v2 leaderboard still there, along with a new 3v3 and 4v4 leaderboard. 7. Make the leaderboards show win/loss ratio. Showing just wins doesn't show how good a player is. 8. Have the ability to make guilds. A guild leaderboard for pvp will work where it averages every players rank into one so the amount of players in a guild doesn't matter.
How about something like this. Different PVP Categories. PVP could be divided into 5 categories or rankings. Will break this into 2 parts since it is so long:
1) First Category - Beginner. You can be any level you want, but can only use spells learned level 1 - 25. Critical and Block are ignored. No pets allowed, Wands and gear also have to fall within same level (1-25). Wands and gear that happen to have critical, block, or cards with spells that normally are only available at levels higher than 25 will be blocked from use. That does not mean you cannot wear the gear - it just means that those functions of the gear or wand will not be available to you during the battle. They will be "X'ed" out. Health points are capped to whatever the lowest level player entering is. For example is a level 10 wizard with 1000 Health points enters, and a level 100 wizard with 5000 health points enters - both their hit points are capped to 1000 for the battle. Within this category you can have your different rankings up to warlord, etc. So if you were top ranked your title would be something like PVP Warlord Beginner, 4th Age. or something like that.
2) Second Category - Amateur. This category adds an extra element - pets. Covers players and spells from level 1-50. Same as beginner, but corresponding levels of gear allowed are from 1-50. Also, pets are allowed. However, if a pet conveys block or critical or has a card that has a spell higher than level 1 - 50, those abilities are blocked. If you were top ranked your title would be something like PVP Warlord Amateur, 4th Age. or something like that. Any other restrictions from first category also apply here (i.e. health point cap to that of lowest level player).
3) Third Category - Expert. This category introduces critical and block in addition to pets. There is a max level allowed of 350 each for critical and block. We add just enough block and critical to make it interesting, but not enough so that someone can critical or block all the time. Also, any spells (regardless if on pet, gear, learned etc.) that add extra block (i.e. conviction and vengeance) are not permitted. Only block and critical conveyed by gear or pets up to the max of 350 are allowed. Covers players and spells from level 50 - 75. This category starts at level 50, because that is usually the level at which you can reasonably start getting critical and block as part of the normal gear and level progression. Other Category 1 restrictions still apply. If you were top ranked your title would be something like PVP Warlord Expert, 4th Age.
4) Fourth Category - Master. This category removes all restrictions on block and critical. Covers players and spells from level 50 - 100. No Shadow spells of any kind are permitted either - even if they have already been learned. Same limits to health points, etc. If you were top ranked your title would be something like PVP Warlord Master, 4th Age.
5th Category - Archon. This category removes all restrictions. Covers players and spells from Level 75 - 110. This is a free for all, no holds barred, no whining, moaning, Cage Match Wrestle. Bring everything you have, and when the blood and dust settle, You are PVP Warlord Archon, 4th Age.
