Editing Player vs Player Combat (section)

==Arena PvP==
There are several PvP arenas in New Britannia. For example, the Owl’s Head open-PvP arena is accessible through a door in the wall around uptown Owl’s Head, near The Clink. There’s also a team-based PvP arena in Ardoris that can be accessed through a set of steel double-doors near the Oracle Confirmatory and crafting pavilion. The Obsidian Trial is located in Novia near the eastern entrance to Nightshade Pass.

Team Areas: Team combat arenas work a little differently, pitting teams on the sides of Virtue (Blue) and Chaos (Red) against one another. Upon entering the arena you will be able to choose your team by running through the appropriate portal, which will take you to your team’s preparation room. If one team significantly outnumbers the other the numerically superior team’s portal may temporarily close, routing new players to the team that needs them.

You do not need to be in a party with your team members, though inviting them may help coordination in combat. Team matches last ten minutes, and the team with the most kills at the end of this time wins. After the match ends, all Avatars will be teleported back to the team selection lobby.

Arena-based PvP areas (but not open world areas like Quel Shardfall or the Brave Coast) allow for non-combat spectators. Spectators cannot harm or help combatants, or each other. In the team combat arena, spectators enter the stands through the portal with the Oracle Eye symbol over it, and are restricted from entering the arena floor. In the free-for-all arenas, spectators may enter the area floor and become combatants. Don’t forget to root for your favorite champions!

[[The Obsidian Trial]]: This is a “deathmatch” arena with several special qualities. Play sessions begin every 10 minutes with one minute of preparation time between matches. During the match, a poisonous boundary that deals extraordinary amounts of damage rapidly reduces the amount of playable area. If you are caught in the lethal boundary, you will die quickly.

Players that enter the scene, or die within the scene, will be sent to a “lobby” where they can prepare for new matches and replenish supplies from a merchant.

While in the Obsidian Trial, your skills will be capped at a maximum of 100. This cap will be removed when you exit the scene.

Any kills you make during a match will reward you with Obsidian Skull Coins. Each time you win a match that includes at least five players will earn you an Obsidian Medallion. You can trade these coins and medallions with a special merchant in the lobby of the Obsidian Trial

The Obsidian Trial has a custom PvP scoreboard that displays the timer for the match, shows how many players are in the match, and announces the winner of each match.
