The Dueling Room Is Far Too Small. We Need Something Far Bigger!

[Volvadin]

The dueling room has always been a fun place to just vent some steam and have at it against your fellow clan mates. The room itself however seriously lacks in design for several reasons.

 

-The Combatants involved often start very close to each other (either from the neutral position or by free will) and often one will blow away the other with close ranged weaponry (Shotguns make very quick work of our fellow Tenno)

- The Dueling room itself is VERY small, and offers almost no cover nor the effective way to move away from one another. It just ends up as a close range slug fest.

- Limited Spectator room (Seats). This could be a rather annoying thing for very large clans.

 

What we need is something that can cater towards dueling of many sizes. So.. I've thought up the idea of a Dojo "Arena" of sorts. Yes.. I know we have conclaves for battling but I'm talking about a in-house battle dome of sorts.

 

- First up, we need a massive room. Something along the lines of a grand hall sized area.

- The Arena is surrounded by a large amount of spectator seats, meaning the arena is effectively in a large pit. (The top is glassed off to prevent Tenno from wall running out of it)

- The Arena can support 1v1 or 2v2 duels.

- The Arena could be customizable by people in several ways, such as adjusting the flooring (Sand, Grass, Walls, etc), changing the announcer (why does the lotus waste her time with being a announcer for duels? Have some guess announcers such as Dravo, Ruk, Vek or Alad V.) and enabling/disabling options such as the ones below.

- The Arena is littered with pop up cover walls similar to how the ones the orokin towers work, except they only rise and fall during the start of each round of a duel. (They would change during each round in addition, to vary where the cover is)

- The Arena has small pits (non-fatal ones) that can hamper Tenno while fighting. (They could fall/get knocked in and need to get out. They would be roughly 3-4 Tenno tall). They could also have raised area's for people to snipe on.

- The Arena locks the combatants in until the duel is over. (It boots out non-combatants to the access gate)

 

This new Arena would be far more effective than the old Dueling room. Combatants would have much more space to move about and put some of their mobility to good use. It also would be a great place for Tenno to relax after missions.

This new arena is also called the Conclaves.

Can the Conclaves have spectators?

Can the Conclaves have spectators?

[Volvadin]

Ok... let me rephase that. Can you have more than 3-4 spectators?

You may say that the dueling room is far too small, I would also claim that the conclave maps are unneccesarily huge. For a max limit of 4 people, you have a huge area that is pointless.

I like the size of the Conclaves as it gives a bit more freedom of tactics. I completely agree with the main post and would like to see this added.

Why not let us make our own? make a dueling room with a large area to it, with the ability to add items to it, so we can create out own unique arenas, each item you add would be like adding decorations to rooms, and would have a cost. add things like shipping containers, rails, floors (with in resone), things like that.
