I was wondering first of all why there still is no pk/spar leaderboards in game yet like classic, leaderboards can make those areas more competitive in many ways. I would like to see the point system added like classic. Next I would like to talk about the underground spar. It is a unique design, but is honestly quite useless from what has been changed of it. I have a few ideas that would improve the underground spar.
1. Take out the whole elevator area, the reason is that the elevator takes about 10 seconds just to go up 1 floor, which is fairly annoying. Also nobody really spars in those extra spar areas in the elevator so it is just about useless.
2. Change up the whole lobby area where you enter straight from outside by lethal. It should be a medium size room with an npc of the "leading spar streaker" and top sparrer, also a couch or 2 like it already has. If my first reason was used then the room wouldn't need to be so big because of no elevator.
3. Add the streak feature to the underground spar room, which means if you win you have the choice to keep sparring until you lose or leave the que. This would add alot more competition.
4. Instead of the rooms in the elevator, there should be 3-5 other rooms on the one story lobby in addition to the streak spar. A normal spar (x1-3), a 2 vs 2 spar or tag team, and a gangspar.
5. In addition I feel that their should be one major spar area in iera not the underground and complex existing at once. The reason is only 1 of them is usually used at a time and the other is basically an extra level that noone is using. You can keep the compex for practice spars and for practice gangspar not affecting score.
6. For now on sparring in areas like the beach spar and complex should not affect wins or losses and score if they add a leaderboard.
7. Pretty much like (5.) one spar area should be focused on not multiple, my opinion would be to work out and make underground as good as you can seeing that is easy to get to and is close to the Start Area where more than 2/5 of the playercount is.
Gangspar reccomendations:
1. Make the arena 5x-10x bigger.
2. Add obstacles.
3. Increase player max feom 5 to 7 who are able to join.
Basically the Pk Arena cut in half would be a good gangspar arena. Not to mention changing up the obstacles so that campers won't automatically win.
I firmly believe most of my ideas would cause more players to spar and if not at least keep spar more active or more of a primary for players instead of digging and basing.
