Nightwill gave us this past weeks shared topic:
Mathew McCurley - @gomatgo asked on twitter about ideas for a question for The Queue and I came up with one and thinking about it I wanted to mention it here.
“Why not have ‘hardmode’ pvp matches? More difficult goals and the like you can sign up for?”
The more I think about it the more I want to know why not? “heroic” level PvP with an IL restriction? Have unique upgraded maps with cool mechanics that would really confuse someone new to pvp? You could resurrect the raid PvP of Alteric Valley. Have it take 2 hours and compensate equally with the faster matches. Bring up some more total war raid matches like a battle at sea or in the air.
It seems like such a simple idea that would make PvP far more deep and interesting than ‘oh damn WSG popped again for my random.’
Or am I just rambling away about something that wouldn’t ever work?
Toki of Transroguerification answered the call for the Shared topic: Heroic Mode PvP
This week bloggers are taking the Boon Writing Challenge! To participate, blog about the topic and link back to your post in this thread.
You want hardmode? Here’s a challenge for you: Permadeath PvP. If your toon dies in this mode, he/she is looted by the killer (or anyone else standing around), and deleted from the server automatically.
Oh, so you *don’t* want hardmode PvP? Wusses.
Sadly I missed this Shared Topic earlier on. Here’s my response.

@Icesnake – Permadeath PVP is not hardmode, it’s insane. You better make it open to level 1 players, or generate pre-mades. Otherwise no one would participate.
