In my honest opinion, the Imperial city arena would not make sense. the city is invaded by daedra. most likely anyone in the city is cowering in their homes. would they have time to go and waste the money they have in the Imp city arena while they cower from daedra?

NOTE: I am not saying I don't support arenas(in my opinion they should be in) I am saying I don't support the Imp city arena being active. although the empty space could be a good place for a dark anchor...

It could be a place where daedra watch/force mortals watch mortals being slaughtered by daedra/each other.

is there going to be one?

This is just a player request at this point in time. I hope so, we simply do not know yet.

I can see your point and most cities from Oblivion are destroyed PVE zones and are good places for an arena(s). That could have that in the gate keeps instead on a smaller scale -- it will be more fun to have cross faction PVP in them.

Also, It will be fun for the player to have 1v1 2v1, 5v5, and other small battles, other players can just watch and / or bet on the players who are doing the battle. Think as it like the arena in the game of Oblivion, but instead of NPC's we have players doing that work instead -- just have a NPC to handle the betting part of it.

Like I said, I support arenas just I dont want the Imp city arena necessarily

I'd like an arena. But not for pvp. Balancing things for 1v1 players would be a nightmare. I'm more in favor of signing up and being pitted up against npcs and wild beasts.

Why not just put out the word to organize a tournament in a given place and time window? Place your wagers to the organizer and have at it in a big circle. Like a back alley chicken fight in Tijuana.

I would support a type of arena but not in the traditional sense.

There is a small town with big walls and its more like a maze with houses. 20 players are dropped at random starting locations and its a FFA with no alliances. The first 10 mins has fog of war so players are hidden. After 10 mins the fog of war lifts and players can hunt the players who are cowering in the closets. lol. The reward will be a random chest.

To answer your title, yes.

An Arena is like the practice mode for the actual PvP of Cyrodiil. Also, rather than annoying people with duel requests in anywhere of the world, it's better if the duel requests can be made into one specific location.

It could also add variety into the game and increase the fun in the game. Such as, adding tournaments for a guild to participate in, with its guild members as its participants (prize award is given by guild master or whatever).

It could also simulate team battles or party battles. 4v4/3v3/2v2/1v1 or etc. I hope they add this content. Just don't add the adoring fan please.

EDIT: I did not read OP's first post regarding this. It's nice if the arena is only found in one city per faction not Imperial city or Cyrodiil. Maybe an important city of an alliance.

Theres a good portion of players wanting some kind of duel feature, an arena (both pvp and pve mode) could be a good solution. Have one per Alliance territory and have higher lvl fights for lvl 50s+ that can travel to each.

I dont see the point in having one in Cyrodiil when the whole territory is just like one big arena anyway.

If the people of Tamriel did not stop the war the for the Daedra they are not going to stop going to Arenas either.

I am kinda of shocked that Arenas are not included in this point given that they have been included in other TES games.

It's all about gambling and making money. It's literally a virtual reality fight club. No need for game implemented content. Even if they are organized within the ranks of a captured keep it would be a popular event for the entire alliance. If it's within an alliance controlled area, it is less chance of idiots in the crowd being disruptive.

All it takes is a few alliance players to circle up and start pairing up for some 1v1 and let the bets be placed. From there it won't take long for big events to start being scheduled and advertised in chat.

Two men enter...

... one man leaves.

.... I've heard that thing being chanted all weekend... life is so full of coincidences sometimes... but then in that case I demand chainsaws, an iron domed cage and obviously an over the top announcer

I hope they never add arenas or instanced warzone/battleground style pvp to this game.

The "e-sport" style pvp that those functions bring causes no end of cries about balance disparities, and in my opinion takes all of the fun out of pvp. World pvp is where it's at, let's keep it there.

All of Tamriel is the Arena.
