Guild Wars 2

Simply as the thread suggests at the top… That’s my question. Besides dueling a friend or random person I haven’t seen places where you could practice your skills.

I think dueling a friend would be nice because you could practice against a certain class, but yeah they have to also add the option to turn off dueling so if you want to be left alone and not be spammed by those invites.

Has Anet said anything about this subject yet?

I guess it would be cool to have a friendly spar with a friend or whoever, and I think others have been asking for it. It doesn’t really serve any practical purpose or add anything substantial, though — so for me, it’s not really a priority.

I like that too, many people on suggestion thread wrote that too.
If not for competition at least for fun, dueling for fun inside Orr. Awwww

I hope they do, but I hope they don’t base class balances off of duels.

I don’t think the professions are very well balanced with 1v1 in mind.

Other than the crying that would arise from that, I’d like dueling. Though it is possible to duel in sPvP.

Personally I don’t think any class is OP, the people who say it are probably getting killed by players that are way overly geared compared to them OR they just simply don’t know how to combat that type of class. It also comes down to how you use your traits, those people 1 shotting you are probably all power and precision and their gear as well….

Yes, I would like to see this happen. I would also like trade system that doesn’t rely on mail.

I guess so…lol

Yes, just to get folks to stop doing it in spvp.

It gets a bit monotonous running into 3 of them in row, every day. Eventually i run out of patience

I think its on the back-burner because its not as important as other things on their plate. I admit that it would be a nice addition, but nothing too important. It would be good to practice for WvW only since sPvP is much different.

this game lacks PK, (player kill)

Quick over here————It’s that thread again!

Well strictly from a lore point of view it shouldn’t happen as we are all suppose to be fighting the menace that are the elder dragons. Now if you guys want to beat each other to pulp, I’m all for a PvP server or arenas in each city as a “training area”, so long as I don’t have to see all the races pretending that for some reason it is now all out civil war after the storyline I’m fine with it.

Only in arenas. Particle effect spam in LA is bad enough already.

And not in the world, unless we get an “autodecline all duel requests” option.

Wish game had this would add a lot of fun.

Someone should send that memo to all the NPC’s that “Test your skills” or “want to see what you’ve got”.

As far as I can tell; Dueling is an absolute requirement.

Go to Lion’s Arch, go to the Fort Marriner way point. Observe the NPCs. on East side of that area.

Yes add dueling … in sPvP or PvE only, not to WvW.

since when did people not spar with each other to get better?

that is dueling.. its not a fight to the death, it is exactly what it sounds like. two people, testing their skills and testing each other.

the REAL reason why we need this, is for WvW builds and fighting. currently you cannot get and use the same runes in Spvp that you can in WvW. i can get 90%+ boon duration on my guardian for my spec in WvW and PvE. but in Spvp…. i get a whopping 60%….. and stats are way off too. you can’t have the same character because Spvp is meant to be super balanced. and the only way to test WvW builds is to fight in random fights and hope you aren’t just fighting some bad player when you get into it.

not to mention trying to spar with someone in WvW CAN happen, but most of the time ends with a newbie enemy jumping into the fight near the end of it, ending it quickly.

Strictly from a lore point of view our characters can’t be individual characters? Are you saying that every character in Tyria has set aside differences and would not fight each other to the brink of death after insults are thrown between each other? One of the beginning human storylines even has a duel in the form of a “trial by combat” scenario.

Label it sparring or whatever you want, dueling should have launched with the game.
