[Sugg] The Bane/Crown Pavilion (Dueling Area)
Extra: I forgot that the Giant Devourers are called “Siege Devourers”. They were from GW1….weird that they aren’t found in the current game.
I would benefit the most from dueling in the open world, specifically when waiting for world bosses etc.
Implement a decline duels toggle and people shouldn’t be bothered.
Anet should also mention that the game won’t be balanced around 1v1(like every mmo out there that has dueling???) because some people think that the game can’t have dueling unless it’s balanced around it…

Its kinda I would want to avoid actually. It can get annoying if people do spam a duel invite. I kinda understand your reasons, but since the game is mostly about cooperation and sharing, it would be a little out of Anets design choices.
To counteract the abuse, they should try to even out the Lvl of the participating duelists.
I totally get what you mean, and I kinda hope they decide with your method(Or what most people expect from Dueling), but in a way to respect the visions of both players and Arenanet, my idea could fill in that role.

I’d rather not have to deal with whisper spam “duel me fgt.”
No to open world dueling. I’ll straight up quit if it ever happens.
“Its kinda I would want to avoid actually. It can get annoying if people do spam a duel invite.”
That’s what I’m saying. Auto decline duel option in your settings. It’s been in an option in every mmo I’ve played with dueling. You can peruse the forums in all the other games with this feature and its a non issue.

I have to agree with chemiclord: " I’d rather not have to deal with whisper spam “duel me fgt.”

Sure you can add the toggle option, but man is Chat going to be filled to the brim with spam.

Yeah, that is such a problem in other mmos.
Where exactly does this irrational fear of yours stem from?
Oh look, this topic AGAIN.
It’s as if the other 20 or so threads the past 2 years don’t exist at all.

From playing other mmos with open world dueling.
Give people more means to be irritants, and they will use those means.
No thanks. Go somewhere else if you want open world dueling. This game doesn’t need it.

Did all the Dueling Topics mention the use of ACTUAL places for the system to work? Cause the idea is to have specific places for Dueling, not Open World Dueling.
Make dueling like an Activity like Keg Brawl, Crab Toss, Belcher’s Bluff, etc. but for DR Crown Pavilion, and my fav. place, The Bane from Black Citadel.

I am all for dueling in prescribed dueling arenas, and there ARE several great places for it. I’m not sure about the Crown Pavilion, though, as that seems to be dedicated to specific seasonal events.
I am NOT in favor of open world dueling; it invites a certain type of obnoxious irritant of a player that I’d rather not encourage in this game.
There’s only one problem:
People will start yelling xx class OP when they lose a duel in the arena XD.
Then the PVE scrubs will start yelling that the balance should be base on dueling, not teamwork, synergy and build counter.

In truth, I kinda welcome that. It can create a minor community based around 1 v 1 combat. Getting people to create unique builds that specialize in this kind of fight.
Maybe one thing to adjust would be the health bar. Maybe both players get double the amount of health they would normally have. IDK, I’m sure there are better methods to make this fun.
If they do have it as an activity like keg brawl, it probably be the same mechanic to access. You speak to an NPC and get assigned to an arena.
If it is 2 people instances, will it be a problem for the servers to make them if enough people are doing this? That could be lot of instances opening and closing. At least with PvP, it’s long term, set number of instances
If random teams, (like keg brawl) it could be hard to duel one specific person. You might get sent to a separate map from the person you want to duel or to the same team.
If everyone is red, (like crab toss) how do you keep it from being a gank fest, where some are trying to duel while others are running around fighting at random.
ANet may give it to you.

exactly – it could even be an enclosed space like the queen’s gauntlet in crown pavilion – someplace other players can look and enjoy the show while people duke it out. and a balancing mechanic could simply render all equipment stats and upgrades null, setting both duelers to rely purely on their traits, choice of skills and weapons. this creates a far more even playing field for two people to duke it out 1v1.
i’d totally sit in the stands and just watch random duelers all day.

So if all stats and gears are locked, what’s the difference from SPVP then?
If you want a fair fight, pvp is already the place to go.

Except you would have to pay actual gold to even do that. Custom Arenas aren’t exactly cheap.

ah but not much in a 1v1 option ne? besides, it would be a unique trait, like how LA is the hub for the mystic toilet.
If there was an NPC to speak to who sends you to an arena, it should have a cap of 2 people and the NPC should give you the option of which arena to go to. (Arena A, B, C, or D)

I guess I do understand why people don’t want dueling implemented this way. I am just being selfish. If it’s not in the open world I really wouldn’t benefit from it.
I won’t be upset if its never added to the game.

I like that idea. too. XD
They could just allow dueling in the heart of the mists pvp lobby. Make a zone where dueling invites are allowed, like the golems zone but for dueling.

A good idea I’ll admit, but I do want Anet to make use of actual areas of the PvE for this kind of thing. The Bane is a great example, and it can easily increase the amount of people to participate in this city. Kinda like a tourist trap. XD
Making it a unique thing that for now only Charr have, much like Keg Brawl in Hoelbrak.

I understand the desire of some people who would rather do SOMETHING rather than sit waiting for a boss to appear.
But open-world dueling is one of those, “this is why we can’t have nice things” sort of deals. Dueling, by my experience, tends to draw a very toxic group of people who only have fun making other players miserable.
I’d rather not encourage that group of players.
“I wish GW2 had dueling 1v1 option, controlled, in open world”. I told him it would be a great and rich addition to the game, and that one could only hope that devs would pick up on it, soon.

Your son is a very wise young man. Say Hi to him from me. I wonder if his second sentence is going to be about mounts and guild capes
Omg the GW2 community is like a family to me. Love you! <3
He will be great one day.
He will be great one day.
When he’s like 50? If it’s taken him 12 years to form a full sentence I’m not holding out hope here…. :-P

1 – haha it really made me smile.
2 – Yeah, dueling would be nice
3 – There must be at least 1 dueling topic per page right now … besides the merge dueling topic, mods can only be as fast to merge them all.
(and the other 8 elite specs maxed too)

When he finds himself unable to be distracted by bonds with other humans and can ascend to realize that glorious 1v1 combat is the only way by which he can live his life, and when his life decisions shine as a great beacon of hope and truth to all those around, the time will come.
“I wish GW2 had dueling 1v1 option, controlled, in open world”
I really hope they never waste resources implementing that in the game. Other than how 1v1 is not balanced in the game, this kind of thing would only add visual polution to the world without any significant advantage.
tbh i didn’t mind dueling in vannila WoW that i played but i couldn’t really care if they add it to guild wars 2 or not doesn’t add or hurt anything of my playing experience other than having to press decline every once and a while in towns
or put there a toggle button called “allow duel requests”

They could add an option “Block all dueling invites”. Simple like that. Inviting players would receive a message “This user has blocked all dueling invites.”, and receiving players would receive… nothing.

Dam, Many, you too fast. Stahp.

Or put it in separate arena instances in cities (arenas like the Bane in the Black Citadel) Then people can duel all they want. People who don’t like it are not affected by it all. And people who don’t care, still don’t care. Everyone wins.

true i probably wouldn’t use it as i wouldn’t mind dueling when waiting for world boss or pvp queue or something lol
I fully support exclusive Dueling areas in PvE zones.
As an option, allow for PUBLIC duels were spectators can watch and even potentially place bets on the duels (ok, that might not work out well…just an idea).
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
