Guild Wars 2

Lots of people want dueling. Why not modify the idea of the gauntlet and allow people to fight each other? Let others bet money on fight outcomes, etc. Have gambits accessible as well.

It would be a good way for people to practice their pvp skills and also fun for others to watch and interact with through betting, etc.

this is a good idea

Or, we can make a /duel command so we can duel anywhere we want, including the arena.

Although I’d thought about this as well, I feel like new players would be challenged to duels and then destroyed and it would probably be a negative experience. By making it so that you could only duel in a certain place it would encourage players to gather there for events like fight clubs and player run 1v1 tournaments. Each server could also have its own leaderboard inside of the pavilion for the top players that people could use to make bets off of.

Uhh.. you know, you can always click “No I don’t want to duel.”

In SWG, people formed “Fight Clubs” anywhere, it was fun because some times you could see players in secret areas dueling, or dueling on bridges or other places to seem EPIC.

I imagine there would also be an option like this.

This is the default option, to duel you have to turn it off, so no player can be challenged until he turns it off anyways…

i like the “/duel” option, but then we face the question of
“would ur character be upleveled for the duration of the duel?”
would ur character remain under the zone restrictions?

clearly a condition build would have an advantage over a burst build in low level zones because the burst-scaling system sucks…

what happens if ur public duel is interrupted by an event? or a mass of enemies? who wins? can u duel While the event is on? or are you in an instance? and if u’re an instance, why not just go to pvp if u cant be in that zone? and if u AREN in an instance, then how would u retain ur lv 80 scaling against that zone? it could become abusable etc…

good suggestion, i like it, but there’s gonna be a lot of work in it, and people would question spvp existance sometime… but still, i like it.

We could also have a Gauntlet room setup near waypoints, much like that arena in plains of ashford waypoint, where you can enter, join a side, and fight to the death. hell, the kills could also be part of the Heart achievements or daily achievements

This is true. I’d still rather have a specific dueling area, but maybe that’s just a personal preference. shrug
