FFA PvP - title must be atleast 10 characters long

implement a 1v1v1 or 1v1v1v1 pvp mode, meaning 3 or 4 player free for all

That would be fun!

That sounds crazy. I'm all for it. You could decide on working together or muscle down everyone by yourself. But 2 vs 2 shouldn't be disabled. So for starters maybe enable 1vs1vs1 first.

How would this work, logistically?

Is this players from either Faction? If both have reps, what is to stop members of one faction from ganging up on the other solo (2 on 1 or, worse still, 3 on 1)?

Is it winner take all or a scaled reward system dependent upon which place you finish in?

What is to stop a person from waiting it out and conserving everything while the other decimate one another, then swoop in like a vulture? (e.g. would there be different victory criterion)

What the heck happens when 3-4 units are engaged with one another?

Would this fit into the current tier-system or something else?

Seems like an interesting idea, but there might be some issues. I'd like to hear what innovative solutions to those presenting problems would look like.

Who cares what faction. We all know that it will be 3 darks fighting each other.

Glad to see you're giving this so much thought.

Okay, that was a quick, snobby (even if it holds truth) answer, written from my phone.

FFA, anyone can join. Same chance as a player with uncommons running into a full GL player in current system. In time matching may be based on Prestige.

Nothing. If 2 players charge each other and ignore the third, then he will mop up an easy victory. It would be nice if CP rewards were based on unit AP killed, but that is not how current PvP works, victor takes all.

Doesn't this happen already when doloball/skellieball tactics are employed? If you are asking how a unit will react to 2 armies each from different opponents, i think that they would be treated equally as enemies.

I don't see why not. Maybe add a secondary circle to the map selection tab similar to solo - easy, normal, etc. Make co-op open a sub group of 1v1, 2v2, ffa, or any.
