Talk:Winning streak

I'm curious about this page, as there's not much here. I see that it's linked from a game update page that indicates there are faction bonuses for "winning streaks." The way the article is worded, a winning streak is winning multiple battles without party deaths. How many battles? Does a winning streak really require that no-one in your party dies, or just that you win a certain number of battles? I'm going to go ahead and stick a stub status on this until it gets a little more info. --Squeg 03:09, 19 October 2005 (EST)

I would like to question the statement that winning 10 games in a row takes you to the team arena. What does that mean? --Karlos 04:30, 19 October 2005 (EST)
 * I think what the poster was trying to say was that if you win 10 matches in a row in the competition arenas it takes you to tombs battles. I've heard that that is the case anyway, I don't know as I don't pvp much and the longest streak I've had in the random team arenas was I think 5 matches.  --Rainith 04:34, 19 October 2005 (EST)
 * I believe that is a myth. I'm not much of a PvP player, but I have been part of a 14 game winning streak during PvPX. And just the logic is flawed. The Tournament Arena is 8 players, competition is 4. Tombs require a VERY high level of coordination and sophistication that is specifically not required in 4x4 quick matches. --Karlos 04:53, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * Karlos, see below, i'm not talking about tombs. And i have been on teams winning > 10 times in random arenas and the behavior I describe does indeed occur.  I think the confusion stems from the deldrimor arena also being called the "Hall of Hero's" in game.  Perhaps this sounds to some people like the "Tomb of Kings".   --Squeg 05:07, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * or maybe i'm wrong about the hall of hero's thing... other reading seems to suggest that this is actually the same as the tomb of primeviel kins. I'll have to double-check this in game.  In either case, you advance from the random 4v4 teams to the player created 4v4 teams, after 10 consecutive wins on a random team. --Squeg 07:48, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * Rainith, you're not quite correct. Let me restate... The competion arena outside of lion's arch is the "random team" arena that you get when creating a PvP only character.  In this arena both sides consist of teams assigned automatically by the game.  You cannot create your own team in this arena.  In this arena, if your team wins 10 matches in a row, then your team is transported to the deldrimor arena where all teams are created by the players instead of by the game.  In my experience this is often referred to as the "team arena" although i am not certain from memory how it is listed on the map.  This is different than the "tombs" which features 8v8 teams in an escalating series of encounters.


 * My first thought was that winning streak was a reference to this 10 wins moves you to the new arena experience. However, as I'm not really sure what winning streak is supposed to mean, I'll remove the line until there is further clarification. If further clarifcation is not made, then I recommend removing the article as right now it really provides no pertinent information that could not be gleaned from the title itself. --Squeg 05:07, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * Ah, well, like I said, I don't PvP much and the only PvPing I've done is with my regular character, I've never made a PvP specific character. I figured what I stated might wrong or only partially right, but that someone would get the gist and correct me.  :)  --Rainith 05:36, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * I still question that statement. What do you mean "advance"? When you create a PvP only Char, you have all arenas available, I just did that and all were available to me. In addition, what do you mean you get to go there? So, I am playing with 3 other guys and we are kicking major butt and then all of a sudden we'll get sent to the Team Arena in Droknar's instead of continuing to get matched up against other teams? Or do you mean that after we lose we'll get sent to the Team Arena instead of the arena we started in? Because while winning, you don't get to be in an arena, you get to dance around in the last place of victory till the game finds you a match. --Karlos 17:04, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * You win 10 times in row, without a loss in random 4x4 battles. Your team then competes in the next battle with constructed teams of 4, from the team arenas (the Shiverpeak arena). It happens automatically - it makes sense really - random 4x4 is about improvisation. 148.177.129.213 17:58, 19 October 2005 (EST)


 * Ugh! So we're talking about the FOES, not the arena. :) --Karlos 22:13, 19 October 2005 (EST)

No, I Well and truly mean the place where you fight changes. I'll try again. When you play random competition arenas... there are a certain set number of match types/locations... AND your team is made up of random individuals. It's a good quick way to get on a team as you don't have to wait around for a group. The game just sticks you all together. There is another entirely separate arena for 4v4 where you can form teams manually. With a bunch of people standing around shouting "need a monk." At least one of the match types you play here is different than in the competition arenas, it has a ghost monk on each team that will res party members and you have to kill the opposing teams monk AND kill the team. I believe this is called the hall of hero's. So far, i'm just re-stating what you probably know.

Now when a team that formed randomly in the competition arena wins 10 games, they are actually magically transported to the arena where organized 4v4 teams fight. All teams they fight from then on will either have been formed in the Deldrimor Arena staging area or have won 10 or more games after forming in the random competion arena. They will also have a good chance of doing battle in the hall of heros with the ghostly monks and all. When this team is finally defeated they will be placed as a team in the deldrimor arena staging area and NOT split up and sent back to the random competion arena staging area as they normally would be. --Squeg 00:55, 20 October 2005 (EST)
