Archived Total "vanillification" Of Pvp Arenas

[illogicalleaf314]

Spoiler: Problem

I went into remus today, when I looked out the window here is what I saw:

2 agnis punching eachother, unable to die due to them being in lava.
A vampire, jumping around like a lunatic in bloodlust.

I decided that this was no place for a human, so I decided to head to aqua instead... I was greeted by maiars whizzing around in the ceiling firing arrows at me.

The races, alone, aren't so bad, but there is one thing that has always been a problem in pvp arenas, and races has pushed over the edge. Everyone one of these people I encountered, had no armour. With the exception of the Maiars in aqua absolutely everyone was unarmed.

I don't know how many people can relate to this, I understand not many people pvp, and most of these people are in fact the vampires/agni/maiars in arenas that I am complaining about, however many people will recall being in arenas, swamped by constant hordes of vampires, respawning using the beds and zipping around and generally lagging far too much for you to even attempt to hit them. Maybe instead, you can relate to being set on fire by an unarmed person every time you set foot in an arena. Regardless, most people would say that this is, annoying.

TL;DR: Too many noobs in arenas running around using their races to generally be a nuisance.

Spoiler: Solution

I have several suggestions, each addressing a specific problem.

1. Remove the beds in arenas, if players can die, and be back in the arena in less than ten seconds, how is it feasibly possible for you to tp away?

2. Give EVERYONE permanent pacifist in arenas. Not much dev, just use premium source, when a player is in a designated area make it so they do not drop their stuff, or at least their armour.

3. Disable races in arenas, maybe not the class 1 races, but definitely vampirism and class 2/class 3.

4. (UNLIKELY) Have kit arenas, when you walk in you are given a weapon and a set of armour, your inventory is restored when you die, would make fighting a lot fairer.

I support this --> Aqua + Maiar = DEATH TO THINE LESSER RACES! Which in turn will cause Aqua to lose all of it's non-Maiar combatants. maybe make an arena specialized for each race, so that they can fight each other and learn how to actually pvp instead of relying on their race for all their power? Or Illo's idea to remove races/nodrop.

Personally it would be nice if Arenas lost all perks - mccmo stats, race perks, vamp perks. That way you can't have people wiping each other out regardless of the skill level on either side.

I agree, or at least when an arena is being made, consideration should be taken in thinking about every single race/vampire to make sure that an arena is not biased to give a specific race any major advantage.
BTW... I think I was one of the 2 agni... xD. But in my defense, the only reason I was there was because #1 I had just became agni and wanted to try it out, and also thats like the only time I've ever gone pvp'ing...

It may not have been me, though, because I think I did that yesterday, not today.

The arenas was made before the race plugin as you know. We will need to take a overhall of some arenas, thanks for notifying us

The most neutral arena is the event arena. They all need to be like that.[DOUBLEPOST=1355444369][/DOUBLEPOST]to keep races to neutral.

This suggestion is already underway, we are planning a seperate arena world to limit lag and fps drop for players, and most old arena's will be scrapped in favor of new ones.
