Hello ! i'd like to present a little suggestion here.
The one and only arena that the game currently has is a bit repetitive and dull,
It used to vary in sizes at least in the old version.
What if occasionally there was a continuously looping arena without any edges, that would just scroll along with the players as they moved, and the max distance between players would be capped.
This would create some interesting fights for sure,
The battles would randomly take place in this arena from time to time, and teleport range would probably have to be limited somewhat.
Just a little something from the top of my head Cheers.

Would be interesting to see Sure would make the longest ranged weapons more threatening these weapons could be fired and then the mech could jump back well out of harms way

I`m sorry Sould but I`m going to have to shoot this down with an AK-47
It`s confusing idea why not just add new arenas like a volcano or desert fighting arena

Okay Giga i appreciate the feedback, but what makes it confusing ?
And wouldn't the different backgrounds just get as boring in a while ?

Like would it be a 3d arena ?? anyways yay I hit my 100th post !!

In the old version, there were 3 arena sizes. Biggest one was with range 12, medium was range 9 and small was range 6.

Currently the medium arena is in use (with range 9). And weapon ranges are also capped according to this medium arena. E.g. short range weapons (range 1-2), medium range weapons (range 3-4), long range weapons (range 5-6) and extra long range weapons (range 7-8).

But i'd like to see this endless arena which eliminates opponent just sitting in the corner and letting the drone to fire. (This works well when drone firing range is also limited, let's say range 2-10.)

Or another nice thing would be bringing back the old 3 arenas.

whats the point of having many arena sizes it would be better just adding new backgrounds to arenas

And what's the point having just different backrounds? How it will be better?
In older versions (e.g. 2.7), there were only 1 backround and nobody wasn't complaining.

Different arena sizes add more variety to the game.
But i guess you can't handle more complexed SM, perhaps that's why you don't want different arena sizes.

Yup Giga, i dont get how different backgrounds would add any variety in the gameplay, and that is what this topic is originally about. I remember when the new backgrounds came and they were cool for the first time you saw them but it gets old fast.. And so does the never changing arena.

I was just posting that this is a very good idea making new strategies possible, but then I realized it's not such a good idea:

1. would cause exploits, people that would enter battle just to annoy others and then keep running away / staying at the max range.

2. what can you really do outside firing range other then running and running and running? I really see no strategies here after all. Maybe placing mines lol?

If people here say the current stages are 'medium' size, then maybe adding large size would provide some place for chickening out, but then again I'm not sure what strategies can you really do with that extra space.

I would agree with infinite arenas if max range would be 6 (usual max range for top weapons) so players would be ALL the time in line of fire, other than that I see no reason for it.
