Guild Wars 2

HI,
So many times I join a spvp server or the hot join one, and I get people that are like “oh this is a dueling server.” & of course they make a big stink about it. If people were able to duel outside of the game, at least in the mists then it would allow others to actually play the game without people taking it over so they can duel and stand around.

if ppl tell u its a dueling server and u dont want to duel get out.

i dont understand why you want to be somewhere ur not wanted and apparently dont want to be.

this game doesnt need anet to waste time making a dueling system when we can go into servers and duel we need them putting in a 1 team v 1 team ranked system with all 5 maps on rotations.

I think dueling would be great. How about a duel arena in HOTM just past where you have all those fake Npc hero toons.

People want to fight their friends in 1v1 battles without interruptions, and friends want to watch said fights to learn or coach their buddies. Some folks might not like duels but many of us enjoy them.

Sadly the only ways to do that is to join spvp servers and be a bother to everyone else…. or to find a secluded place in wvwvw and be a bother to everyone else by not contributing to the battle and just wasting space slots.

Custom arenas soon…
I don’t think anet is going to make 1v1 servers or anything like that though..
If you don’t wanna duel you should probably ignore the last 20 servers

Dueling needs to happen for the community of a server. There should be dueling so I can gain xp, make new friends, find spvp partners etc.

I know you technically can do a 2v2 (# of players) match on a private server I just hope they support MMR, finding quick matches similar to tourneys, rewards. I would gladly pay for that.

Get out?

hmmm..

Its red, its dead…

Sounds to me like you you should be asking anet to make a dueling area. I would love one, especially after i have hot joined about three or four different matches, only to run into people dueling. I am typically willing to try a few different times, but eventually, I just get a bit impatient i guess

completely right. A-net has much bigger issues to fix than 1v1 dueling arena. Do the same as sataarcoeny said and join one of the hundred empty servers.

Right, this is NOT priority. but it woudl be nice.

Priority is not an issue given how relatively easy it is to implement dueling

1- code to make 2 players enemies by right clicking on the portrait and selecting “Duel”
2- code to make the defeated player stand up upon defeat
3- code to make the pve people block all incoming duel requests

Arenanet’s programers could probably finish this before they even go out for lunch on a single work’s shift

Aaron: It’s about testing. You can’t just throw all modes out and say: The ppl will like it. GL without restrictions on runes/traits/skills etc. You would like to play against a bunker in this arena? prolly not. So pls stop throwing random answers out without thinking.

Not sure what there is to test. You face others 1 v1 in matches all of the time. If it’s ok in a match, why wouldn’t it be ok in a duel. If you duel a bunker, well, he is a bunker. Learn to adapt, and hopefully overcome. No better way to learn than to duel him.

Also, we shouldn’t have to portal to the mists, and then portal to some empty server/dueling server to duel. There is already a pvp realm, it’s called the mists. It’s big and made especially for pvp. So just allow dueling in the mists. Simple.

Not sure what there is to test? You need to test every single runes/utilitiy-combinations to avoid certain class structures as Scepter / Dagger Ele and stuff like that. Because if you implement the 1v1 system without these restricions there will only be one build in there, which is the most competitive one.

Adapting Heart of the mists to a dueling arena is never gonna happen. Can’t imagine ppl are fighting all over the place…

But this is how these builds are found. After gathering all the data they can see which build is too strong in 1v1 and nerf/fix/change appropriately. (I’d say it’s ranger not elementalist)

Good point there. Actually thanks for this input.
But it shouldn’t be a open arena like tournaments. They should make it for test-weeks after updates to improve balanced. Well if it’s ranger or elementalist, this is the point of view/skill or w/e)
