I tried it once on the corpse of a character that my character killed and was unable to loot. Don't know if there would have been a different result if we'd been partied ahead of time with the loot option checked. Something to test?just tried it out very fun. I like how it ejects you after battle and even the items dropped on the ground in bag with a timer next to your corpse. didn't try to loot corpse inside arena anyone else try ?
Pretty good idea.please add an option to disallow potions/items
/AgreedI am the number 1 pvp advocate on these forums.
I am so against this and everything it stands for.
ULTIMA ONLINE is not WOW or some other cheap knock off, EA please do not go down this road.
Wasn't there always an arena in Jhelom? Was this deactivated or something? I wouldn't know, because there are never any players there, but there was an arena once....we've been begging for an arena for how long? it works great, is a ton of fun and no insurance cost so people can learn how to duel without risk!
WoW!Good idea, Pinco"The Gladiator" title should be added for who wins at least 1 fight![]()
The winner should also gain in Valor and/or Honor.
How, exactly is this WOW-like in any way, shape or form? This isn't random challenges out in the street anywhere, anytime. Noobs won't be following you around dropping the challenge flag over and over and over and over..../Agreed
I think the arena idea is bad in its concept. Besides... the people you WANT tog et into an arena with will never go fight you there anyways.
heyyy I tried to heal you but you ran away! then I had to run away, tornado warning irl lol. still using pets, i see ;P.Arenas are amazing
Anyone who doesnt think so is either
1: not a pvper
or
2: a member of a zerg guild who doesnt duel anyways *cough Sixunder*
I probably shouldn't continue the off topic PvP talk, but from what I know about SixUnder, I can't imagine he wouldn't duel. Zerg guild maybe but he's pretty standalone.So apart from attempting a troll and making a personal direct attack... you bring what argument to this discussion ?
Exept that you think there is none ?

That's one view point. Some people undoubtedly will engage in that behavior. I wonder how many people will consider the fact that this is an opportunity. It may be embellished on as it goes, or not. Can anyone even give it a chance. Can you have a conversation about it without mentioning what the game was like 10 years ago? Or just flame away its just uhall right?Sadly, over the years a certain percentage of the Development Team has never been able to face, or understand the PK/PvP mindset of a good proportion of the player base in Ultima Online.
What the Devs think will happen with Arenas is that the players will sign up to put to the test all the inflated claims of skill made in General Chat; that the pugilists will mutually agree to a fair set of neutrally enforced conditions, and before the eyes of many of the peers, in the conviction of their own talents or claims, defend them honestly. This is what they think they want to be able to do...
What will actually happen is this;
*Players Herp and Derp kill IPwnz*
IPwnz: You cheap asses, you can only kill me 2v1! Let's take this to arena and see how skilled you are!
Herp: Lolno. umad?
Derp: I'll go to Arena... meet me there.
*Derp goes afk at the Arena stone*
IPwnz: Come on click the stone, let's do this you *****!
Derp: (to Herp on Skype): Dude is still here cussin' me out. LOL.
Herp: We make him RAGE! *high five!*
IPwnz (In General Chat): I fookin' pwned those biatches, they didn't dare use the arena! PWNED!
General Chat: Esc > User Settings > Ignore > Add From Chat > Add Ipwnz > Add Herp > Add Derp > Apply
That's not to say there won't be the odd Guild PvP Night event, and I hope they enjoy the functionality Arenas bring. And I'm not against new content for the few decent players over on the Felucca side who'll enjoy something like this... but really, I think we all know how this kind of content is going to end. It always does.
100% correct =DNo this game isn't WoW. (In fact I think it's much better) But WoW does have some good ideas that can work well in UO.
Let me clarify a lil sumn sumn for you Ahu. Uhall is meant to engage discussion yes but in a constructive way. Not in the "I know something you don't know but I can't tell you because you don't know what I know" harping that has become monotonous and not at all constructive.Ned... I admit your unconditional love for the game is very... endearing. But UHALL is meant to be critical about how and WHY (very important too) its done.
We're supposed to be like this.
I would LOVE to be able to place bets as a spectator too!- Great to see this happening.
I tried to search for an old post of mine but it probably got erased (think I've lost 90% of 'em).
If Vex had a hand in this (and I strongly bet he did), I hope we eventually get some methods to put our gold/items on the proverbial table. Think it woudl be a great addition to fairly allow participants and even spectators to be able to place wagers ~ like via an NPC that would hold stuff until a winner / no match / forfeit is decided.. oh the possibilities.
There are thought currently in CC you cannot see the whole duel and in the EC client you need to zoom out so far to see it all you lose out on a bit of the content too. I wish they had gone with the bagball arena design instead of the necro arena style. Color me sad.I haven't checked this out yet, but are there stands surrounding the arenas? If not, it'd be a great addition.

great idea! wait on second thought i see a lot of scams that could happen with this. like lose and bet against your self?I would LOVE to be able to place bets as a spectator too!
Maybe in the sense of casting lots? Like you don't know exactly who you will get to bet on, adding an additional suspense to the spectator.great idea! wait on second thought i see a lot of scams that could happen with this. like lose and bet against your self?
maybe some sort of underground betting even then not sure how to stop the scams..
sorry is a great idea if we could work out the details some how
I feel like Debbie downer now....

- No worries. Betting has often been rife with scams. Better be ware, and such. I like to think of it as just another way to draw interest and make it have more of a draw for those that aren't fighting.great idea! wait on second thought i see a lot of scams that could happen with this. like lose and bet against your self?

I can just see it now two players both betting against themselves:great idea! wait on second thought i see a lot of scams that could happen with this. like lose and bet against your self?

What were you sayin ?2: a member of a zerg guild who doesnt duel anyways *cough Sixunder*
Forced to ABSOLUTELY agree with Solus here.....Obviously a player like that ^ would be completely against the idea. Anything to end the random zerging and ganking going on within the game. The bad pvpers will no longer have good players to gank. They'll all be at the arenas.Arenas are amazing
Anyone who doesnt think so is either
1: not a pvper
or
2: a member of a zerg guild who doesnt duel anyways *cough Sixunder*
