I think a universal deathmatch arena would be a good idea, as a map creator I don't really like creating death match arenas as it is very hard to get it right! I don't agree with your idea for a deathmatch arena though, I think the lightning is good as it forces people together, it's so annoying if someone just runs forever rather than fighting!! I think obstacles in deathmatch arenas are great aswell, means people can't bow spam you and it slows down people running forever. I think no countdown at the beginning would be good but it is there to let everyone load the world out and get prepared.

You have some really good points, but regarding the lightning, for example if you are fighting a 2 team or a randy team in Deathmatch, you tend to run around the map and as the time goes the lighting would really get in the way and if think if we would make a relatively big arena, you wouldn't be able to run around that much, but you would still have that small advantage to run away from the team. Also, the arena could have a couple of obstacles as well, for bow fights etc. and it would make it more interesting c: And I thought of this idea because for ex. the deathmatch arena on Icarus, Winds of Change, Return to Moonbase 9 is honestly really bad for PvP because height of blocks vary a lot and it gets in the way while fighting c:
PS: Thank you for helping out with constructive comments c:

On Icarus, it was a cool visual idea but I see it is bad for pvp so we are going to replace it with the old one, the Moonbase 9 deathmatch arena was designed to slope inwards to push people together but we will consider changing it. For the winds of change deathmatch arena I made it the ship from the map purely cos it looked cool not for the gameplay aspect, in a future update I may change it to be something more pvp orientated! I think a larger DM with obstacles could totally work and is a good idea x

YES! I agree haha. I'd love to see a deathmatch arena added back that gave people a more even ground for PvP. Revamping deathmatch would definitely even the playing ground. I'm down for this!

And why did it get removed?
If I'm not mistaken, it got removed because there was a pool of lava underneath the sand that would constantly fall, and people were complaining that it was laggy.

However, the universal survival games deathmatch arena does seem like an interesting idea. The old one used lava, but it isn't really necessary. It would be a good idea because the community could give their input and a build team could fine-tune it and make sure everyone is happy with it. However, playing on the same deathmatch arena each time seems a bit boring, so I'd rather see something like a deathmatch arena template.

Basically, each map would have a custom deathmatch arena, but they would need to follow a certain template, allotting a certain size, height, number and location of obstacles and terrain change. People can decorate each one differently, but in essence, they would all be the same. There wouldn't be any deathmatch arena easier to win on than others. I say this because any person who makes it to deathmatch on Breeze Island and has the slightest knowledge of a fishing rod could automatically win the game. The purpose of a template rather than a single universal arena would be solely to spice it up and to remind the tribute what map they're actually playing on.
