Dueling in?
Lots of carebears here.. The main reason why dueling should be allowed is because the stats vary from WvW to PVP. You have food and other factors that you don’t have in PVP. Dueling with a guildie or anyone for that matter to improve skills based on WvW factors is something that is overlooked.
Also sometimes people talk trash in whispers/mapchat about other players. Dueling is a good way to own them. The other option is to ./ignore or ./report but I’m not a carebear myself so I wouldn’t do that.
I understand Anet’s logic because it forces users/guilds to buy a custom arena for dueling purposes – which is added revenue for them and they need to make money to keep giving us awesome content. But if that is the case then they need to add an option in custom arena to simulate WvW/PvE that allows your regular armor and food to be able to be used in the arena as a setting. This will allow WvW’ers to test out their build/armor/food/combo against other players. If that isn’t going to be an option then add ./duel. It’s kind of stupid that it’s not in this game and pretty much every other MMO. Personally, I think it would add some life into the cities/surrounding areas where people don’t visit once they’ve dinged 80.
**Also adding a deathmatch style map/option would be a cool feature. Something non-objective based to run dueling tournaments. I know my guild is setting up server-wide dueling tournaments and the mechanics for the objective based maps in sPVP don’t really float a dueling tournament in its current state.
There are custom arenas for 1v1 duelling. PvP has access to all builds and armour. What else do you want?
+1 for dueling.
Some of these reasons against it are preposterous. Saddens me to think that the devs might actually take feedback from these people to heart.
It saddens me that you think that because their opinions are just as valid as yours.
I really don’t want PvE open world dueling.
I can understand that some people do though- I think a good compromise would be to add arenas themed to each major city with a spectator mode so that people can duel there and others can watch if they want to.
What exactly is the objection to this?
Glorious idea sir.
I am not against duelling. I am against open world duelling. What’s wrong with a few arenas where the duellist can duel to their hearts content?
Arena dueling or open world dueling, none is preferred for most I don’t think. As long as we have the ability to duel people officially in both a PvP and PvE (WvW) setting.
Some of the arguments here are ridicilous.
“I don’t want to get spammed by duel-invitations.”
- Simple. Make a “auto-block duel request” button. And disable dueling inside of towns.“But i don’t want to get forced to enable the “auto-block” button."
- Really? Wow.“Duels in the open-world will cause visual pollution.”
- Duelists often choose areas to duel where the NPC count is low. And how is seeing people fighting each other in a mostly PvP-based game ‘visual pollution’?Also, guys. As i said. GW2 is based on PvP. Why wouldn’t there be duels?
Knock knock, think for a second in that head of yours. Some of you “anti-dueling” people are having “first world problem”-issues on this subject. Meanwhile, for some people, adding dueling would mean everything to them. Don’t be selfish.
Wake up! The game is stale already, it would certainly be less-stale with duels for PvPers.
For all the duel haters… its as simple as “auto decline toggle”, bam, problem solved, you PVErs are happy, and we duelists are happy.
Oh, and then all the whispers and in open chat: I want to duel with you. My blocked list would grow beyond what I want it to be…
I played LotRO, it has a duel feature, I got never asked why I would decline a duel.
You might have some bad exp, but this game might not be like some other…I tried WoW (years ago). In a span of 1 day I already grew tired of those people spamming: want to duel, want to dual… Uh, no? Maybe that’s why I turned it off?
I don’t care about that. I’m not against dueling, but I’m against dueling in the open world. Let those pirates in LA create an arena, where you can duel and/or watch a match… (so, an open-world instanced map kind of thing…)
This must be the definition of exxageration. Really? You grew tired of WoW in 1 day because of people wanting to duel you? Oh, poor you. Besides, you can only duel outside of towns in the “dueling spot” mostly. Honestly, this is ridicilous.
Thank you for giving the world hope for a brighter future.
You necroed a long-dead post to talk to yourself? Fun stuff.
lol. Wow, you actually made/used four separate accounts. This is just getting sad now.
