Guild Wars 2

There needs to be an interface option to initiate a PvP style battle with another player in close proximity. The option should allow the player to send another player a PvP challenge. If the player accepts both parties are given a 10s countdown then a fight to the death begins. After the death the losing player is revived.

For more intricate options you could have a 3v3 or 5v5 battle as well.
You could include the option to jump to a battleground or remain in the current terrain.
You could even have fun and make Squad v Squad where 50 v 50 go at it in a huge private battle between two specific teams.

I would also add some fun game types to these.
For example:

1 Life to Live:
Players do NOT respawn, once dead, they stay dead until next round or game.

Playing with Fire:
Players are constantly burned with dots that stack over time giving them less time to stay alive.

What’s It Worth To You
Players can start a deathmatch by gambling some specified gold amount.
Each player has to put in that minimum to play. The last man standing or player with the highest kills takes the pot.

Just some fun ideas to make PvP more enjoyable. I’m sure many other can be thought up. Perhaps we should make a thread of different game types to add to PvP in the future.

There’s already another ‘dueling’ thread active.

Again, no, no matter the moniker.

Is this supposed to be a suggestion for sPvP or WvW?

If it’s for open world PvP or for dueling, here’s a quote for you.

http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs/TemperHoof/072012/23486_Guild-Wars-2-Redefines-Open-World-PVP
The overall design for Guild Wars 2 does not support fully open world PvP and it would take a prohibitive amount of work to even make it possible. World versus world is our version of open world PvP, and while it isn’t ‘true’ open world PvP for more PvP purists, it does contain many of the elements that make world PvP so exciting. Hopefully it will mostly satisfy people that want open world PvP.— Mike Ferguson

If the suggestions are exclusively for the PvP realm or the WvW realm, may I suggest you post in the PvP sub-forum or the WvW sub-forum, respectively.

Good luck.
