Guild Wars 2

I completely agree with this and I’m a bit annoyed that we are a year into release and it hasn’t been added in.

inb4 standard “this has been brought up COUNTLESS times!!! nobody wants it!1!!” response. I completely agree, any MMO worth its salt should have a dueling feature 1 year after release, this is simply embarrassing.

this game is really not “team based”, surprised anyone would say that.

+1 to this i vote for 1v1 too
can someone give a good or famous mmorpg games with killing stunning skill without any 1v1

suggestion put some item in gem store that can make us do 1v1 it’s a win win situation
consumables or something like that

Go play a game with a duel function. Why does the game have to adapt to you when you can easily pick a game with a dueling function?

Cuz BM rangers, spirit rangers, and Necros are broken right now A-net can’t Handel more people getting mad at this. An they haven’t changed it cuz of pax. /gg

I say that in jest they have other reasons too but this is a factor I’m sure. :b

Why do people like you always get so indignant about change. Being like “the game doesn’t need to adapt to you blah blah blah” truth is the game targets a wide demographic of people and A-net consistently asks for feedback and suggestions to make it better, and people will always suggest or propose what they like. If such a thing is implemented it has no effect on you, and you can stay out of it.

Btw this IS something that has been asked about since launch and has already been stated to be on their list (though not high on the priority) so take your stuck up attitude somewhere else, these forums don’t benefit from your kind of negativity.

+1 for this, its strange this hasn’t been done yet.

@Rammie.2843
What if those games that allow duels are just bad? What you’re saying sounds the same as “go into spvp”.

I would prefer no dueling in the open world.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I would prefer no dueling in the open world.

Any particular reason why?

I can understand being spam invited to a duel would be annoying, and others being like “DUEL ME! DULE ME NOW!!!” Can be a pain.

But I think it would be great for RPers and putting big headed, egotistical bashers in their place.

However I started with PvP in my background so I’m a bit bias.

They could make specific dueling arenas. But looking at their current “quality standards”, I don’t know if I’d want them to implement this. A dueling implementation would probably result in the loss of 3 minipets, 5 achievements, 100k karma and 6 players being in the arena instead of 2. And it would involve at least 5 hotfixes within the first 48 hours.

Don’t get me wrong, I WANT a dueling option SO bad, but not until they get their code right. It’s almost borderline embarassing.

Suggestions subforum, use it. And if that doesn’t help, don’t make this your QQ subforum. And yes, it maybe have been asked for a lot (and only a handful of people really care for it, a whole lot more are completely indifferent or even opposed). So obviously it doesn’t have any priority.

I’ll take my attitude elsewhere if you take your QQ elsewhere. Just remember you’re the cause, and I am the consequence.

@Laceration:

Then pick the game that sucks least. Why the insufferable need to require a crowd when you take out your… weapons? The current situation is good enough. You have an opportunity to 1v1, go use it and let the devs work on better content.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Same. I hope this feature is never implemented in the game. If anything, I guess ArenaNet could add dueling areas in the Mists, very far from the open world and preferably requiring people to move to the PvP lobby in order to access it. But I would prefer if nothing even that were added to the game.

Do you have any idea how many people that want duels will get on here and complain about how dynamic events disturb your precious duels? Go to WvW and duel on the bl behind the wind mill like everyone else.

I dont think anyone would post something like that. Be realistic. If anything, they will move their duel to somewhere else.

WvW duels happen, they are fun, but we cant duel people in our own server. Spvp is out of the question, the thing that spawns when I join Mysts is NOT the character I grew up with.

“Coming soon”

Future patch notes

WoW has every feature that everyone on every other MMO forum clamors for. Amazing, isn’t it?

theres pvp in the game… go play it … even then i hate joining games to find people dueling and perposly join 2 player games to ruin there duels for my dayliys… this should be stopped dueling isnt in the game untill it is shut up about it and stop doing it

lol i love all the responses that just say ‘i don’t want dueling in open world’ without any kind of explanation at all. Having people out in the open world actually doing something besides farming champions is a bad thing I suppose.

I think Arena Net will implement it for 2 weeks and then remove it, hopefully. I love those types of updates

Completely Agree, the “Decline All Duels” should be clicked as soon as you start your character and be manually removed.

Do you read the forums? The stupid complaints/suggestions take up at minimum 33% of the space.
I agree that there needs to be somewhere for players to be able to duel their friends [guild halls?] but not in the open world. I would love to test new builds against my friends in a nice quiet corner or battle randoms in front of an audience but like i said not in PvE.

Who cares? Why can’t you let people do what they want and not put limits on every single little thing?

Because then we would be playing every. other. game. rolled. into. one.

Yes, adding the option to duel will totally transform Guild Wars 2 into a wow-clone.
rolls eyes

Let me put it to you this way. Lets say you want pepperoni pizza, I want orange glazed chicken stir fry, and a third party wanted meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. Would all of that drek be good blended together. I’m not against dueling. There are plenty of spots in PvE that are out of the way that could be dueling zones. The one thing I am against is black and white thinking – not even trying to see things from the other persons point of view.
Oh yeah rolls eyes.

Already been discussed a number of times, there is nothing that can be gained by going over the same material over and over again. This thread will be moved in to the suggestions forum and merged with all the rest shortly.

Dueling is so low on my list of priorities as to be non-existent. There are about a million things they could add or tweak in game before duels that would contribute far more to my enjoyment.

I’m not gonna complain if they do put it in, but I am in no hurry.

Q. “Hell no, I dont want to be spammed by duel invites!”

a. You wont have to. Many games offer a “Decline all duel invites” toggle option. It will be like dueling was never implemented in the first place.

Unfortunately it doesn’t do much for when your auto decline is followed by..

“hey acept my duel”
“caman dude fight me”
“dont be a kitten caman fight me 11!!!1”

expletives, insults, general harassment, etc…

there’s a reason you can’t message opponents or know who they are in WvW.

Anet has gone to great lengths to separate PvE from PvP. It’s been a theme of theirs since Guild Wars 1.

You want duels…have them….in a separate space, not the open world. Let Anet make a huge dueling map if they want, but I want a choice to be away from that. Because even if I could auto decline duels, I’d prefer not having dueling interfering with other stuff I’m doing, even if it’s just crafting or looking at my bank.

That is so far from the truth, if a duelist sees the duel was auto-declined, they will simply find someone else to duel. I played WoW for 6 years and unless I was standing in the obvious orgrimmar gates dueling circle, I wasn’t invited into a duel ONCE, and I never saw someone pester anyone else for that matter. Most duels simply happen between people who know each other or friends that want to test their skills.

I was bugged a few times in WoW by children asking to duel me just for the lols. Hated those kids so much, especially because I was level 80 and they were always below level 20. Thankfully I could type a quick /ignore and be done with them forever.

In all honesty though, there are a ton more children in GW2 than in WoW. Why? Because children can afford to pay 60 bucks and not a continuous 15 bucks per month. I could see duels being abused by those children. I would really like duels to be implemented, but I’ve already met more than 40 incredibly dumb-witted and rude children in dungeons, and I would not like to meet them when they have a duel option under my portrait.

No, when children see that you’ve declined their offer of a duel, all they see is a challenge. They bug the living crap out of you until you either decide to throw yourself out of a tall window into a volcano of molten lava or accept the duel and kill them in 2 hits. In other mmorpgs other than WoW, the little buggers do not stop until you are dying on the floor because you’ve been afflicted with a severe case of complete and total insanity.

I would love to see dueling put in. So many beautiful places to duel and use the terrain. It could be implemented so it wasn’t a bother to those who didn’t want to duel.

I’ve stood outside a dungeon a lot of times waiting on others to arrive and wished I could have had some friendly duels.

If you are so easily offended, you shouldn’t be playing online games. By your logic, lets remove jumping puzzles because I am offended when children pester me for portals. Lets remove wvwvw because children teabag on my corpse. Lets remove dungeons because children make fun of me when I dont know a boss mechanic.

WoW isn’t btp. Adults with jobs to pay a sub are one thing, the CoD rage teens that populate some areas of this game are a different matter.
If you want to duel your friends for fun or to test a build I am all about adding it in limited areas. A free for all any time any where type of thing would just cause grief one way or the other. I honestly don’t see the need for dueling like that and I don’t understand why a few people insist on it.

Free for all arena =/= dueling. Please dont mix the two. You must seriously be joking if you think a monthly subscription is some sort of firewall for obnoxious teenagers.

You still haven’t explained to me why it has to be everywhere and not in arenas or empty areas in PvE.
A monthly sub does make a difference because if you have had the account 4 months not only do you have the time investment it is a money investment. No matter the greasy faced little kitten does think about the cash he has had to lay out to play a game instead of fornicating.

And I reiterate why does it have to be across the whole world instead of assigned areas.

Just chiming in to say I am really glad Anet has not added dueling.

I really do not want the culture of people getting into petty arguments over the internet and then threatening to duel the other person to prove they are the ‘better’ player, or even people asking me to duel them if I call them out on their being a jerk.

I had enough of that in other mmos, I don’t want the nice and friendly teamwork-oriented culture unique to Guild Wars to evolve into that, and it’s changes like that which could enable or encourage it.
