Guild Wars 2

I’m just saying it would be really cool to have the option to Dual another player in player versus environment the option to have a small random fight with a random player maybe cuz you got into a small argument over some insignificant affair. I know doing something like that isn’t an easy task but I think it would make the game that much better and please no one say oh just go play player vs player I realize that player vs player is there and is fun it would just be a neat option, keeping track of your wins and losses is fun in the game for most. and I realize that’s not what Guild Wars 2 is going for everything is setup the way they wanted it.

The word is duel.
Dual is consisting of two parts, elements, or aspects.
Duel is a prearranged combat between two persons, fought with deadly weapons according to an accepted code of procedure, especially to settle a private quarrel.

Thread can carry on, I just had to get that out of my system been seeing it a lot this week and the current audiobook I am mulittasking with is using lighted as opposed to lite and it is really is just messing up the flow of the prose.

pve players don’t duel nor pvp…

THEY…ZERG!! For the garrison and da king!

duel is infinitely unbalanced in this game, you would not want that…

So what? Its not like the current pvp is balanced anyway, if not, even worse, you are force to play with new players in soloQ. Hotjoin is chaotic, toxic and boring with only the same maps again and again.

I would rather want an open world duel than the current pvp set up. In fact, why bother creating new pvp map? The beautiful open world is already the playground for pvp !

I’ll just say what I always do. The design philosophy behind this game is cooperation, not competition. I often visit dueling servers, but only to test build concepts. Those servers bring the worst out in people. There’s groups of people that will waste over an hour zerging them. Now, imagine if certain players were to have access to dueling anywhere. Even if there was an option to auto-deny duel requests, you would still get people who follow you around spamming garbage like “come on **** duel me”, “Don’t be a **** and fight you ****”, “Figh me *”, etc.

These people exist in all games, but they are kept in check by the mechanics of this game not allowing them to be “lol trol” outside of some very limited areas.

Another point, this game balances builds around how they affect team fights more than 1v1. Sure, there are plenty of 1v1 builds, but many of them are ONLY good at 1v1. They may also have a obvious hardcounter. What’s the point of a duel in a game where fights can basically be rock-paper-scissors? In addition, most PvE players run builds that aren’t designed for fighting other players.

I would be OK with more PvP server options so that owners can set them up in any way they want. For example, the King of the Hill servers sound cool, but you HAVE to use a fast clicker if there’s a decent number of players on. Some sort of queue system would be nice. You click the join for w/e side and you get in based on what order you pressed it in.

for a pve map where you can duel with people you can go in wvw … it is not a real duel envirorment but you can do it. Usually people who wants to duel wait near EB SM or in the central island on borders ( between bluebriar and lake )

I think you can also custom arena in the Mist.

I’d prefer 2v2’s

I’ll just say what I always do. I don’t want anyone to be able to do X because in my mind there is a chance it might lessen my experience doing Y.

It’s my business if it affects me, and it affected me. I don’t really care if I can block people in chat or not. It’s obnoxious to have some teenage cretin badmouthing me in local chat because I refuse to duel him. It’s not why I play games. And yes, I did block him, but I still find it obnoxious.

This is the kind of player that dueling invites to the community. It ruins the community not just for me, but for the dozens of others who feel like I do. This isn’t something we made up inconvenience people. We feel this way due to our experience with players like that. Same with open world PvP.

Sure, I can ignore them. But they don’t make the game more fun for me, and they DO affect some people a lot more than they affect me. I’d probably rather have the affected people to play with than the griefers.

So I say no to dueling.

I had a similar case with you.

Everyone keeps begging me for gold.

It’s obnoxious to have some teenage cretin badmouthing me in local chat because I refuse to give him gold. It’s not why I play games. And yes, I did block him, but I still find it obnoxious.

This is the kind of player that gold invites to the community. It ruins the community not just for me, but for the dozens of others who feel like I do. This isn’t something we made up inconvenience people. We feel this way due to our experience with players like that. Same with other currencies like etco in gw1.

Sure, I can ignore them. But they don’t make the game more fun for me, and they DO affect some people a lot more than they affect me. I’d probably rather have the affected people to play with than the beggars.

So I say no to gold.

Open world PvE dueling can be fun, but it is not something everyone wants and it runs the risk of upsetting pure PvE players. Therefore I do not see Anet adding open world dueling.

I feel a better suggestion would be to have dueling arenas in the mists lobby, so players can quickly jump into a free arena and duke it out 1v1.

i like the idea of an area in HotM where you can duel others while waiting for a queue to pop.

and Spvp is 9000 times more balanced then dueling…just saying…
