Tournaments and Arena fights, experience

[Ken_Udigit]

I've seen a few mentions here and there, but not as much as I would expect. And I haven't seen Taleworlds commenting on it either, so I decided to start this poll to see what everyone thinks.

I think most people would definitely agree on this, but I'm curious to see the results and hear people's opinions, especially if they think that we shouldn't get experience from tournaments and arena fights.

Personally I think we should definitely be allowed to gain experience from tournaments. It would make leveling at the start of the game seem much faster, it would allow people to roleplay as a tournament champion who makes a living competing in tournaments. I mean, I guess you can do the last one now, but it's weird that your character never gets better at it.

Before that, they'd need to fix tournament armor
Because it's utter PITA to battle high level troops and scoring less than 10 dmg per hit, because they have high level armor
Either that, or let us (if we have a corresponding weapon ofc) use our own weapon

I don't know why TW never learnt from Warband. Or maybe they did but got the wrong lesson?
The problem was not players don't get to wear their armor, the problem was the players were given weapons they may or may not have the right stats for. Just let all the participants in a tournament wear the same tourney outfit like in WB, preferably with different designs for different cultures, and allow the players to choose from a list of weapon loadouts to use.

I have voted yes, albeit i would be completly fine if i only could raise the fighting skills there...
because that is what i/my character is doing there, he's fighting... with his weapons... to get profession points for them wouldn't be the
dumbest of ideas.

I think you should be able to gain experience in both arena and tournaments at to a certain point. Like maybe when you have 50 skill on one hand it doesnt improves any further in arena fights. At the end of the day, arenas should be for low level characters to practice and get just a little bit stronger.

Has anyone done the maths on how efficient an arena grind would be? I would also support gaining xp (at least skill xp) from arenas, however for the sake of balance a reduced multiplier could be implemented.

Yes of course. Also It will be great if I can choose weapon type or my own weapon.
