PvP arenas

[1nquizitor]

Hey guys,
Ardos and me are building PvP arena and we have some ideas.

1) Respawn – Any player killed in arena zone should respawn on one of given spawn points.
I think the “set home spawn” option is bad for this, because if the guy has home on the world with arena he wouldn’t want to give it up. Maybe it could be placed as a block? Also a problem with spawn killers should solve few seconds of respawn protection.

2) Inventory a) Place for warriors to save inventory or just the arena zone programing.
There could be done some Vault where players could store their inventories or the programming of PvP arena will save your inventory upon entering and restoring it when you leave.
b) Inventory drop upon death should be somehow limited in arena zone or the floor would soon be flooded by items.

3) Spectators – We made spectator rooms protected by glass but that doesn’t protect them from other spectators.
This is just minor thing, but if the player could flag himself as spectator or something to be protected against griefers, that would be nice.

4) Score – some way to keep a score.
I guess this is a big thing to be programed, but it would be cool to have 🙂

Ok, that’s all i have in mind now. Maybe I will add more later. 🙂

Let me add to this :

1) Respawn – Perhaps have a small marked zone (blocks/sub Beacon?) that can only be entered by members of your team (see below). While in that area you can’t attack or be attacked. To combat people permanently staying in that zone, there should be some sort of penalty or you should auto be moved out of it after X seconds.

2) Teams – We have 4 entrances, so can potentially have 4 teams. Perhaps on each entrance we can have a way (block/sub Beacon) of assigning teams. There should of course be options for balancing team numbers.

3) Inventory – I didn’t take part in the PvP that happened on the old Dune server but I seem to recall talk of one of two options –
a) In Arenas you don’t drop your inventory
b) Your items are dropped as a single lootable item.
If b then there should be a way of setting a few protected items.

4) Score – Definitely a nice thing to have at some point.

I think that’s it for now.
