Argent Tournament on the PTR

[Tigercat]

Holy shit. Sneaky sneaky Blizzard, this got in under my radar due to all the other 3.1 stuff ><

[Malvenue]

I thought the Argent Crusade is about fighting the Lich King and not about stupid fights for rewards... :

If you don't like it, don't play.

[Malvenue]

Wow this is retarded
While we wait for Arthas lets kill ourselves!!!! yea!!!

The only thing "retarded" I see around here is YOU.

If you don't like it, don't play. Either way please STFU.

Now.

Iv'e seen something like this coming, i mean

Noone wants to fly EVERYWEHERE to do all the dailes they can you know... dailey

also Mounted Combat is an old thing to think about they prolly didnt know how the mechanics would work out untill they mastered the Vehicles

also the Mounted combat thing would be awsome to use on any mount PvP servers with a mage vs hunter atop dragons flying above the clouds....

first one to ground... well .... dies


Also i think the Areana will be more of a Giant PvE type event maybee making it a quest chain and putting groups in there own world to accomplish it.

Though at the same time i dont see how the titles of being the "Exalted Hero of (w/e city)" being used by every person in Azeroth

Anyhow i think this is a genius idea to get us ready for a whole new ass kicking content Blizzard is ready to let us play with

Well Sadly all the Daily suck they all send you at Dragonblight/Crystalsong Howling Fjord etc.. to get item and all..

Sorta sad hope next Phase will be more Daily in the Icecrown hub.

Else Mounted Combat look Fun can't really tell server lag too much and its based on 4 abilities one melee one range 1 charge 1 block the 5 only used to ask duel.

"mounted combat" = Vehicles? :/

Yes. They are vehicle versions of the city mounts.

And it's not a "kill yourself in front of Arthas" thing either. It's more like a traditional medieval "hey dude, how's that siege going that's pinning you in your castle? Us, we're having a blast using your lawn for sports to figure out which one of us gets to personally off you once you're done hiding like a baby."

[Gaiwyn]

Arena doesn't necessarily mean death. Sounds pretty awesome. Might have to crank up the PTR tonight and go check out what's happening in Icecrown, eh.

New content means more achievements. Now you too can spend even more time in-game striving for achievements that go beyond clearing Ulduar. Sneaky, sneaky Blizz.

[ThePooBurner]

Possibly you'd carry a certain races banner on your back for cosmetic reasons!? I think if they did that it'd be cool if they gave an exp+ buff to your group (yay for running people through stuff!)

I think of it like the banners that Valryn and Thrall carry when we do quests with them. That would be way tight to have ti be something that gives a group buff (exp+ buff? for level 80 people?) to damage or something.

Arena doesn't necessarily mean death.

Nowhere does it say arena in the blue post. It says Colosseum. Colosseum!= Arena. But you are right it doesn't mean death. It's for jousting and other knight related sports that were not about death. it was a simple sport to see who was the best of the best knight.

[Wootsauce]

roman's used slaves in the Colosseum, whats to say the AC wont be using captured scourge.

[Mushin]

The fact that it doesn't use captured scourge.

From World of Raids, You need to be exalted most likely before you can represent, no?

I don't think you need Exalted to represent them since you get to choose who to represent, but I know you can represent them all since one achievement is a meta to represent each faction :P so that's 5 more titles to add to the list and I got 17 titles already

I honestly do not think that Blizz will make this coloseum-thing a huge f*ck off PvP-fest. We already have the Arenas for that shite. Hopefully it will be more PvE oriented.

Arena is a tiny room. A huge fuck off PvP fest sounds better than duels in boxes.

[Angelico]

must. pwn. titans... must. grind. mounts...

[Khazid]

mounted combat + hunters = wait.. what?

This is all Ive been thinking since I read about this.
