Has anyone ever tried this with friends? 4 friends create 5 characters and get them to a previously agreed upon level, say level 5. Then the players face off against each other in one on one PvP matches, on a chosen battleground (1 map). The players in the match are not allowed to leave the map for the duration of the match. The match proceeds until one of the player dies.
To give more value to the surrounding environment, players would be allowed up to 30 seconds to seperate from the waypoint, and then would have to hunt eachother. Use of the well-designed 3d environments to hide in small buildings/tents, or behind objects, would play a huge role as any nightblade or soldier would be able to shadow strike or blitz out at an opponent from their hiding spot for a sneak attack, and so on.
The winners of the first round would advance to a second bracket- this round would take place with players after they leveled their characters to level 10, and again to level 15, 20, and 25.
Ultimately there would be only 1 surviving character. How awesome would it feel to be that character, who came out in top of such a deathmatch in hardcore. I figure at low levels this would be far more interesting that any high level PvP, as players have to really use more ingenuity about how they fight.
It would be awesome if there was some kind of “duel” mode you could enter with another player, to support this. Once engaged in a duel, you would not be able to use rifts and invisible walls would prevent you from leaving the area your characters would be in, until one character is defeated. Just an idea, as i love this game so much im always trying to find new ways to enjoy it.
Has anyone else thought about this, or tried this?
