When they open up sPvP so we can have more variety in builds (ascended trinkets and gear) instead of being pigeon-holed into certain builds….then i’ll be happy. Until then…open up dueling in open world….you can fine tune a lot of different builds with the extra accessory slots and stats.

I would be spending half (if not more) of my in game time duelling if the option were there.

Every aspect of the game has a goal/something to achieve. Duelling is you and your opponent having a go at each other in a friendly way.

I don’t mind if it’s not balanced. Bring on the challenge. Lets try the craziest strategies without putting your team at risk.

I would love to see this feature in GW2.

Simplest answer I can give is that it just isn’t as high a priority as other things we have been working on.

Why do you feel custom arenas do not work for those that want to duel?

I own a custom arena..

never use it.. ever.. well on monday for 2 hours on spvp night.. but other then that.. wouldn’t use it..
The whole idea of custom arena’s is great, but not if you have to pay for it.
Why not simply create a few servers with different setups.? any other pvp game in the world has a variety of pvp games, composition, gamemodes you name it.. all for free, and all used..

1v1 no map rotation – 3 map rotation. no respawn time – wave/individual
2v2 no map rotation – 5 map rotation. "
3v3 no map rotation – 5 map rotation. "
etc..

It really isn’t that hard to create it.
It’s just a matter of letting the custom arena stuff go.. (kill your gem store babies)

Custom arenas should have a free base version.

Just lol, thinking they need to milk their remaining 2000 PvP players. The LS gemstore sales should be more than enough to subsidise the Custom Arenas costs. It’s called an investment.

Dueling is a great way to hang out whit frends an test your skills. It should be way up in the arena nets priority list. I am thankfull for all the updates u make. I would be so happy if duels would be inside the game. Thou i would be happier if they would be in arena style pvp map and that there would be arena 2-2 3-3 4-4 maps.

I have an idea, how about allow players to become “free to engage by anyone”. A toggle or potion or something. This way people that want to fight other players can do so, and prevents griefing. If you wanna fight one on one, don’t turn the “item\toggle” on in heavly populated areas.

Why do you feel custom arenas do not work for those that want to duel?

Not sure if you are still collating feedback or if anyone has already stated this (even if they have it bears repeating because it’s a big detail that I’m surprised people aren’t mentioning) but I think the biggest, most glaring issue with relying on custom arenas for dueling is that you have to pay for them. Even if you save gold to convert to gems or use glory instead, it still seems awfully annoying to have to continuously pump currency into the arena. A simple duel-anywhere system would be fantastic, not only for testing builds as some have said, but for passing the time, settling rivalries, and roleplaying.

Regardless, keep up the great work! GW2 is an amazing game all around.

i think duelling in open world is indeed toxic.

if you always see people fighting you dont feel the big band anymore that connects
us all, we all fight against something and if we fight against each other we loose
the feeling of building an alliance and community.

if the duells are in a place where noone execpt the players who want to fight
or who want to watch someone duelling can see it its good for everyone.

what i would surgest is that we get a pve/wvw duellin arena in that you can invite
someone.

i like duelling but i dont like it in pvp because the numbers and builds and
the space you have are different in pvp.
in pve/wvw i have more room for my play and the damage numbers are different.
thats why i would like to see pve/wvw duelling arenas in that you have a lot of space
and your pve/wvw equip.

just for example:

in the charr main city there is a big arena, if we could go there and sign up for a duell and then duell there that would be great.

there are a lot of other places where this could be implemented, so there will always be “different” arenas, some with some high and low parts, some with obstractions, some without . and you could watch the duell from above the arena and cheer for the duells.

you could even do duell turnaments, 8 players sign up and the best gets a little price .

Good necro.

Custom servers are unfortunately not good enough for this feature, because 1. They have to be paid for and 2. There is a restriction in number of players able to participate (waiting).

Ideally it should be possible to invite/accept anywhere in the mists or in tyria, just as you do with npcs in pve. The one key difference is duelling should be instanced – either:
1 – invisible from other players on the map, or
2 – ghostly silhouettes of the duelists, unable to interact (ie, damage) other players while in the duel, but can still be spectated by passers by.

As said, this will provide an excellent way to “pass time” while waiting to do other things, and bring a lot of life back into the game.

There should be the option to party invite, up to 5 players a side (so 2v2, 3v3 and so on).

To accommodate players who do not like this feature:
1 – include autodecline and block feature in the options menu. They will never see a duel invite.
2 – include a “hide duels” option, so players can choose to never be able to see the instanced duels (otherwise would see ghostly sillhouettes of the players fighting). Good for people who don’t want the visual clutter when in a city.
3 – restrict duels to city based arenas (one in each major city for example). Still instanced so no limit on waiting in a queue for other players to finish, but not cluttering up other areas of the map.

As for verbal abuse from other players – I don’t see why this should be any different to the rest of the game – block /report/ignore and move on. To be honest there is more verbal insulting from pve players in events than between pvp players.

I hope this is made possible in the future, and strongly believe it is a higher priority than the living story, because it would add a permanent additional string to the bow and possibly encourage players to return to the game. The only thing I believe has a higher priority is class bug fixes and balance.

I’d like A LOT to have dueling in pve.
How can I explain how better it is than to have pvp istance????

-immediatly access
-infinity map possibilities can you see how epic would it be a fight with mobs around f.e. in orr zone? or everywhere everyone would like to combat!!!
- finally we could have guild wars without any trouble of buying pvp arena, paying for it time by time…..
- 20×20 or more combat!!!! awensome!!!
- subwater combat!!!

and so many reason I can add having more than 2 minutes before going back to work… sorry!!
!

We could implement a system in whitch there’s for each map space for.. i don’t know… 20 people dueling. if there’s no one you can make the 20 people duel in map, otherwise out of it?

IDK why people think “dueling” is important in this game. The few times I’ve dueled, I have not had a single issue setting it up, dueling, and end.

Besides, most people that talk a big game usually say something along the lines of “I bet I can win you 1v1. I am going to get on my <insert 1vX class/build here> and own you”. If I wanted some cheese, I’d just go into tPvP. Plenty of that there already.

That is a silly expectation – fine, complain that you don’t like duelling because “the game is not balanced around 1v1”, but don’t expect players to have to pay for such a feature.

And regarding that overused statement – life is not balanced around 1v1 as everyone’s different – doesn’t mean we still can’t compete 1v1 in a chosen activity.

Im super late to this conversation!

Sorry for the lack of effort to use proper grammar and spelling but.. As for the boss who asked why we think it would be good is because.. Personally dueling opens up another whole wing for things to do… Its just another really fun thing to do for people to randomly pick their areas in the vast open world you guys have given us to use… gives us all the benefits of the costume arena and more..
Like while waiting for a world boss or something we can just duel to kill time or to practice certain rotations etc… People try to claim dueling allows people to act elitest.. if someone wishes to act elitest they are simply going to do so no matter what you do.. dueling system or not… Its just soo much more convenient to do then to setup a costume arena and leave the area to practice something that could take 2 minutes

not to mention… this could open up dueling tournaments, Allowing guilds to set up events that could go uninterrupted by random costume arena invaders and again… also allows players to go explore the amazing content you have given us to use for such events that would just.. make it amazing!

I also understand why people do not want it, Although it should not effect people if they simply do not go and duel.. sure you maybe challenged just simply decline… This is not WoW, The community is pretty amazing here and I dont feel like a majority of people would use the dueling system to grief.. if it ever boiled down to that point, Im sure a guard system could be implemented to auto decline duels if 1 person keeps requesting to duel repeatedly, I can not give a reason why this would be better then some other project you guys are working to provide for us… BUT I do have to say a dueling system overall would be interesting, Fun, and crazy in this game

As someone who has been playing mainly PvE since headstart (and a bit of PvP & WvW) I would LOVE dueling.

I just don’t see why not. For people who don’t like to duel or who don’t want to decline lots of duel requests, simply make an option in the game settings to “refuse” duel requests so other players can’t send them duel requests & gives them a message saying something like “you can’t challenge Player X to a duel.”

It would be great to be able to duel someone anywhere in the game. (except wvw)
I understand people might not want to see people flashing all of their skills in cities or maybe an event triggers in other maps interrupting the duels but it would be nice if someone accepts the duel both players get teleported into a duel arena & in the actual map a flag would appear telling who duels who & other players can click it to be able to spectate them.

Also would be nice if players would be able to change their PvP builds through the PvP button while in PvE so people can check or change their PvP builds before duelling.

Also for ppl saying it will make ppl have a negative attitude, those with a positive attitude in tPvP will have a nice attitude in duels as well. Those who have a negative attitude in tPvP will have a negative attitude in duels as well. Nothing’s gonna be diffirent.

I think dueling should have a pretty high priority depending on what other stuff Anet is working on.

At the very least it should at least have a higher priority than the living story. Sure the living story is fun to some extent but after 30 minutes-1h ur done with it unless you’re really into the achievements & want to get all the rewards. (Personally I find that too boring.)

I would be one of those people who would just go around & duel a random person or spend hours duelling friends testing & tweaking builds

Sure it might not be balanced & would purely be just for fun. I have more fun 1v1ing friends in empty hotjoin arenas (unless we’re getting interrupted by random people every 5 minutes) than i have fun doing anything else in the game.

You can directly join a custom arena from anywhere. You do not need to be in the Heart of the Mists anymore.

Oh how the tables have turned.

P.S. : let us queue outside of the mist like we used to. The hearts of the mists is the MOST BORING AND STALE map to ever be created. It is ridiculous how we are forced to wait in that map while we wait for our queues.

Dueling is already available in HoTM. I don’t think there is any need to make a specialized arena for it or allow it in Open World.

As a new PvP player I wandered into Dueling arenas first and was pretty discouraged by the experience. I think that “sanctioned” dueling is more likely to hurt PvP than to help based on my experience of it.

Disclaimer: I haven’t read the entire forum post, so what I have here written makes no claim to novelty in points of detail ; and therefore I give no sources, because it is indifferent to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me by another.

Kidding aside,

When dueling is implemented, no matter how “friendly” the system is, it will ALWAYS act as a central measure of skill, just like every other game that allows a 1v1. This is quite apparent if you think about a generic FPS game, and how people frequently say “1v1 me rust quickscope u n00b” in such an environment. As a competitive FPS player as well, I can confidently say how meaningless those 1v1s are (skill-wise), compared to a 5v5 legitimate team scrims.

GW2 is aimed @ collaborative efforts instead of focusing on individual skills, and if a serious 1v1 is implemented in the game, then GW2’s primary aim would be… more or less… diminished.

But above everything else, imagine all the QQ threads, balance threads, whining threads flooding the entire forum after losing a “friendly” duel.

Dueling is already available in HoTM. I don’t think there is any need to make a specialized arena for it or allow it in Open World.

As a new PvP player I wandered into Dueling arenas first and was pretty discouraged by the experience. I think that “sanctioned” dueling is more likely to hurt PvP than to help based on my experience of it.

Dueling is enabled where?

Why is there still no dueling?

i think this person meant that they were new, for some reason saw ‘dueling server’ and thought, this will be fun capture the point battles. they did so. the people in the server sayd ‘hey stop capping pt u dummy, we are trying to duel here not win the match’ .

this person was like ‘but qq why? i just want to fight and win.’ and the duelers got mad, this person got upset, and this person blames the duelers for being mean.

edit, by dueling server i ment a dueling custom arena

i wish non-instanced dueling was in the game as well

just great for practice and REALLY brings out balance issues amazingly fast because you will get so much 1v1 data

But above everything else, imagine all the QQ threads, balance threads, whining threads flooding the entire forum after losing a “friendly” duel.

So basically, you want us to imagine an average forum thread?

How about taking a look yourself. ‘Losing Duels threads’ isn’t going to add much to the forum.

This game isn’t balanced for 1v1, it shouldn’t be made into a special game mode,
no thank you just because 80% of people in a thread want something doesn’t mean its good for the game.

Usually when there are multiple thread with 9 pages of people wanting something AND a Dev replies as to what they want, odds are the Devs will cater to it. cough courtyard cough

As for whether or not it’s more-or-less balanced, here are the 1v1 specs per class
Ranger: spirits, condi
Engi: Cele builds, condi
Thief: idk thief builds but there’s some really good ones.
Guard: Condi
Mesmers: Phanta, shatter
War: Cele builds
Necro: Minions

Obviously certain builds will counter others but these builds will win the majority of their 1v1 fights. It’s hard to say which one is OP… because they all perform well. The build that’s the most OP is the build that wins the majority of his fights… matchmaking will play a huge role in whether they win or lose a 1v1.

1v1 isn’t unbalanced, just misunderstood.
