Costume Brawl
A format like this would indeed be interesting, as long as the designers make bars that aren't gay. ~Shard User Shard Sig Icon.png 03:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

You're basically defining Sealed Play except for the fact that Sealed Play allows for multiple bars and therefore more variety. Whereas the Costume Brawl format comes down to who can best play the individual bar assigned to each person of their profession. Kinda personal taste on which one you like more. --Malchior Devenholm 00:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

This seems slightly more rigid than Costume Brawl. In Costume Brawl (which I love, BTW), your character is still determined by your profession and teams are randomly assigned. This seems to be turning it on its head, where both sides get the same characters, but the players are randomly assigned to characters on that team (possibly with pre-arranged teams?). Interesting idea; rewards those who can play a variety of different roles. Nom 07:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I like this idea too. To be given to choice of playing with preset builds only arena would be awesome, especially if like you said you were able to choose team mates.--iktor(contribs) 09:40, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Everyone check this out!!![edit]

Codex Arena is what all of you seem to be talking about.

No, they really arent. Its vaguely similar, but its not the same thing. Codex gives you a set of available skills out of which you make your build. In this it sounds like you get randomly assigned a preset build, completely independant of proffesion. The idea seems like a good contest of skill, but there are a couple of problems. This gives rise to the situation of really good players losing to bad players because the good player gets assigned a really awful build against the bad players fantastic build... there does come a point when even the best players can get destroyed because of an easily accessible, broken skill set. The other problem is that if i am right in thinking that the assigned roles are completely random and independant of character profession, then it means you might get a team of 4 healers, or some other team composition wich cant really do much and as a result lose becuase you happened to get a team with no balance. --Jimmer123 09:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
