Guild Wars 2

Don’t you think this game would’ve been more awesome pvp wise if you had a “Challenge to a duel” option? Making the game more fun-around pvp – and not forced to go into unranked match, server or ranked.

Or at least make the pvp like Tera, corsairs stronghold. Defend, attack, kill, retreat & win. Pvp in this game has too much of points capturing (Edge of the mist, wvw sometimes) and of course the 5vs5 man mode.

Also another suggestion is to have an arena like they have in WoW, where you can challenge people in the arena and people can watch you. We already have enough people camping in Heart Of Mist, why not make it more lively by adding some kind of option to fight people outside restrictions?

Not trying to make the game more like any other games, but I love that kind of pvp – but I also love the game!

We are coming there to brutally murderise each other right? So there will be no whining innocents and it will allow us to test a new build before throwing an unranked game instead of slacking about.

Allow dueling anywhere in the world.

And track your progress.

i struggle to see why Anet will not devote some time to putting duels in place. Would make the game so much more fun and another way to test builds instead of going into WvW or a random pvp match.

I don’t think they should stop doing what they’re currently doing to put something like this in place because obviously balancing the gamemodes we currently have is most important.

However, I DO think it’d be cool if Hotm was used as more than what it is currently; somewhere you either practice hitting dummies, or simply sit there and wait for a match. So in that sense I agree! I don’t know about a “Challenge to a duel” function because there are some issues involved with that, foremost spamming of challenges to people that don’t want to play them, BUT I don’t see why the ex-underwater combat area, which is now just uselessly sitting there, couldn’t be transformed into a mini-colleseum area in which people in Hotm can, if they so wish, either take part in 1v1s or watch from a fenced off area. I know I’d love to have easy access to something like that whilst I wait for games, I’d love to be able to watch others dueling so easily. It also means that people who are interested in that stuff can learn and take tips from a bunch of different people rather than the limited amount you can get in a lobby.

Just my opinion.

imma pro this idea

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could challenge anyone to a duel anywhere

Well, actually you can (though not exactly anywhere). Get yourself a custom pvp arena, find likeminded people and you can duel there all day long

Not really. Just go back to wow or something.

buy HoT, build yourself a guild hall, and there you go, got duel.

Obsidian Sanctum.

There are problems with putting a PvP element into a cooperative PvE area. They’ve addressed this request for duels by putting this feature in the new guild halls.

Better play wow! gw2+dueling=worst idea ever beside mounts!

Exxcalibur.6203:

Not really. Just go back to wow or something.

you missed the memo. Finally someone at Anet/NCSoft came to the ultimate conclusion “hey guys, WoW still has so many players, we need to go WoW!”. After trinity crawling in, you certainly will get all the Blizzard goodness step by step :P

GW2 pvp is not balanced around dueling (it’s not balanced in general, but that’s been said in countless other threads). Due to things like stealth, there are some classes that are simply better than others for 1v1s. Being able to disengage and reengage at will when there’s nothing on the line (capturing a point) is a pretty huge benefit. That’s not to say that other classes don’t have their roles in spvp.

Also, some builds simply counter others. Granted, you can still win against someone who counters you if you are more skilled than them.

Alot of interesting places seem to be going to waste in a sense of design for dueling, like that arena place in the charrs city I believe

PvE is not designed for it. There are PvP arenas where you can do this, and there’s a place in OS where people gather for 1vs1. I for want do not want to.have to start blocking players for spamming me to fight them, map chat.blowing up about who owned who, and how such and such is a noob. Open world PvP is a bad idea, and go’s against what ANet wants for PvE.

Go into sPvP, either purchase a Custom Arena yourself, or jump into a empty one from the list (note that you may get interrupted). With HoT, Guild Halls may very well serve that function to some extent too. You can also duel in WvW if on separate servers. But a straight up /duel, no, no such thing. And yes, I too aren’t entirely sure why. They could make it so you can’t do it within certain city limits, a radius if you like.

i wish it existed too. threads come up all the time aboot it, arguments fo both sides come up. no logical reasoning can convince the people against it that it won’t affect them. but there is still no dueling so, i guess they win and the rest of us can continue to click around hotm with our clicks in our hands, bored waiting on matches. or click around a pve zone waiting on events to start

Just a comment regarding your statement about spamming the invitation for a duel, if people don’t want to. I think this is easily fixed by having options like in every other game “Automatically reject duel requests” so the duel button is either greyed out, or whenever you try to duel someone – it will say “Duel rejected”

And yes, I’m also up for that so people can see your duels in the arena, now look out for this! In the HoT guildhall trailer, you could see a “Death Pit” with guildmates standing on top, and players down the pit figthing each other. HYPE IS REAL.

Let’s just say that I have my hopes up high, cause the PvP in this game is pretty amazing – with the gear just being cosmetic, (All about mechanical) and not stat-kitten where kids will brag “1vs1 me u noob, i kill u kitten” cause their gear is simply better.

This games does not need duels there is no point. All you have to do for 1v1 content is look at the game browser in structured pvp, there is always a 1v1 room up.

Roaming in World vs world vs world is another 1v1 option. You don’t learn anything about your class in pvp by 1v1ing people.

This is guild wars 2 not Tera or WoW. Arena in wow is terrible and the lead developer of WoW for over 10 years Rob Pardo(before leaving Blizzard) regrets even adding them in world of warcraft. I’m glad Gw2 does not have that style of arena.

At the very least they should let us duel in the Bane. Why add a massive Colosseum if we weren’t suppose to fight in it?

There seems to be such a prejudice against 1v1/duels in this game because of the perceived impact it would have on the carebear ‘friendliest’ community feeling. We also hear that the game isn’t balanced around 1v1, that 1v1 is useless, etc. And yet, a significant part of the fighting in conquest (and WvW for the player outside of the zerg), will be 1v1.

Having dueling in a mmorpg is a great way for players to practice their profession, strategies against other professions, and increase knowledge of game mechanics. But instead of this, we will keep seeing stupid complaints by the ignorant masses about non-issues in balance. Sad times.

As everyone is saying, yes we can duel now, but we need to go out of our way to do so. And the same will continue in HoT as you need to go to Guild Hall for it.

Or don’t duel.

Because other people absolutely don’t want you to duel.

PvE players don’t want PvP in their area. Simple. They have replied with logical reasons time and time again. Just stop trying to force it on them. Dueling in HotM, sure. Literally no one objects to that but anet. Not to mention dueling already exists in custom arenas, obsidium sanctum, and soon guild halls. Requesting to have it in open world PvE too when the PvE players are saying they don’t want it is just selfish.

Also, does nobody know how to google these topics and post in one of the many threads already open on this subject?

@MCHarris

You’re thinking of The Bane. I admit the first time I saw it I thought it was a dueling arena.
Welcome back to Rome. Hail Imperator Smodur those who are about to die salute you!

Seriously though 1v1 dueling is available and relatively easy to access. If you could do it in PVE people would go to starting areas and abuse newbies for fun. “Oh, I see you just finished the introduction run, wanna duel?” Newbie then gets disgusted and leaves the game.

For the love of all that is holy, google a topic and post in one of the other thousand threads instead of opening a new one to have the same exact conversations over and over and over again guys.

I’ll say this again, no reason at all for open world PvE dueling. PvE players don’t want it. Nobody is against HotM dueling except Anet. Dueling already exists in custom arenas, obsidium sanctum, and soon to be guild halls. Requesting to have dueling in open world PvE as well when that community has clearly stated they are against it is just being selfish.

I don’t love what most people consider “holy.” That aside, spam seems to be the way to get read in this forum. Spam the topic to the top of the forum often enough, it might even be heard. Keep spamming it and you may be lucky enough to have your idea thought about.

Still PVE dueling is just ripe for abuse. At the very least it would have to be restricted to level 20 + to keep the newbies from being farmed for laughs.

Only problem is spamming with different threads actually acheives much less that consoldiating both sides of an argument in a single thread. Also, a single thread is what Anet prefers to read and they have already posted their replies on previous dueling threads. All that is happening here is the illusion of being heard by posting multiple threads on a topic that has already received answers, just not the answers that the pro-dueling crowd wanted to hear.

Point taken /bow.

Then you have zero idea on what PvE players do and do not want.

PvE players don’t want it.

You can cross this out.

Also, you can cross this out.

“We support dueling. You can duel in the custom arenas.”

One of the Devs said this a while back and it stuck with me like a broken bee stinger.

The community created dueling… not the devs. The devs didn’t add any other functionality to support these custom arena duels, WvW duels, or Obsidian Sanctum duels.

• We need to add officers to custom arenas so they can moderate them when the owner is away.
• The Ban list needs to be doubled..it’s incredibly easy to fill up thanks to the numerous trolls in the game.

The trolls are so bad at times, it just makes for a poor dueling experience.

So no, the Devs are not supporting it. GW2 has a poor, non existing dueling structure that fans are constantly trying to make work… we wish we can receive some support in the matter so it can improve.

Oh yeah, that’s definitely a solution to it and if solutions like that were put in place I personally would love to see a duel option (at the very least) in the Hotm area. I don’t think I’d like to see it in PvE because I can see how that might ruin the entire point of PvE – Alot of them clearly don’t want that kinda stuff whilst they play. I really don’t see the harm in having that option in the Hotm area though because people are in that area to either practice or enter PvP games anyway.

But yeah, I think more than anything I’d simply love for the Obrin ruins to be used for that because it still seperates the 1v1 dueling area from those that don’t want to play/watch, but also gives really quick and easy access to it right from the get-go. A colleseum-like area that I could walk in and out of freely would be fantastic, and I don’t really see why it would be a problem to anyone because having more options than we have currently isn’t exactly a bad thing. Plus, like I said, it means you have more spectators AND more duelists in the same area, which really opens up possibilities for like-minded players to help eachother and give advice. If we had an area like that, I know I’d be there 24/7.

Indeed, I’m pretty sure I’d be in that place/area for the rest of my day while playing Gw2. I’m already camping in Heart of The Mist, while waiting for a queue to pop up, then further to accept the notification. Would be such a nice thing to be able to duel people, or even watch people duel each other, while waiting. Instead of going to the dummies and spam whatever skills you have, with no feedback.

(My answer to your comment is done here, so you don’t get confused with what I write below this as it’s not for you)

But on the other hand, all these negative comments about PvE world dueling. Are you really that narrow not to be able to see into options? You don’t HAVE to duel, nobody is forcing you. It wont ruin the PvE in any possible way. If it ever gets implented, there should be an option to reject it by default.

The reason I made this thread is not because I want to spam the forums or anything. Even if they did reply to other threads, it gets old, while there are too many to read. So creating a new thread every now and then (not everytime, but once in a while) is enough to maybe bump a notch into the devs, and hopefully we get it.

I’m very sure many people supports this idea of being able to duel someone, so don’t speak for yourself, who ever says PvE players don’t want this – cause it can ruin the game. That’s rather you being selfish, not the whole community itself (Who wants this to happen). Hopefully the new Raid system will make PvE more fun, instead of stacking in a dungeon and avoid damage while you spam your skills to kill that boss who can’t even touch you.

You need to remember this game is not balanced around 1v1, so some professions have a stark advantage in a 1v1 scenario.

Why does this matter? Well by adding an officially supported dueling mode ANET would be admitting they acknowledge it and would have to balance around it also. This just adds another restriction to balancing which they may not want to have a headache over. Instead they give us indirect means (Obsidian Sanctum+Custom Arenas+Guild Hall Arenas) to duel it out.

This all said, I am fully behind duel support and would love if they did add it. Colin himself also said it was something they would like to look into after HoT.

So here is hoping.

If Colin did say that, then I’m all for it, by waiting. However, the guild hall arenas will be limited to guild, or guild vs guild as far as I know. And not just camp in Heart Of The Mist and just duel random people around in the map, or in their own arena.

Yeah, I’m all for dueling in HotM. Everything in there is set up to prepare you for a match, such as treb practice and beat and Lord targets. Makes sense to let people duel there as well to kill time in between queues and try out bills.

This has got to be the first MMO ever without duels that I’ve played, I don’t think ArenaNet recognizes the importance of this feature.

Yes I know you can join a custom game, that’s still bad design, people want the option to duel whenever, wherever they want. It makes pvp more casual, an incentive if you will, to introduce players to the pvp scene without having to commit to spvp.

And you do realize that some of us enjoy playing GW2 because it lacks open world dueling?

ANet wants PvP to be about player skill. Not who has been playing the longest or has the most money. You can’t get that in open world. There’s no way to do that without having everyone have no progression at all. And lack of progression isn’t good for an MMO.

What do you understand by duel?

A duel is a consensual 1v1, both parties agreed to the fight. This isn’t ganking or anything of the sort.

Then you can enjoy playing GW2 by not accepting dueling invite. With dueling implemented, no one has a gun forced on your head to duel with that player.

Open world Dueling can still have player skill. Unlike other MMO, level 80 are downscaled to the level zone. Second, The gear in Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have a big gap unlike other MMO. Plus, the lower level and PvEr not interesting in dueling has the option to not accept dueling invites.

It’s simply not as important as you think it is. They don’t have open world dueling to cut down on “1v1 me bro” tells, and keep pvp limited to areas designed for PvP.

They also implemented guild arenas specifically to function as customizable PvP sandboxes so people don’t have to make/find a custom arena and can still have a place to duel without disrupting other pvp or pve play, or be disrupted by mobs and other players.

Yea like pope says Op custom arenas in guild hall is what your after, we dont want dueling out in the world becouse you should never feel bad seeing another player and players asking for duels will fill up my block list to fast.
