Guild Wars 2

a lot of people i have talked to have wondered why there was no way to duel people in the open world and WvW specifically.

we spent quite some time discussing builds and what works and what doesn’t. and then of course it gets into dueling, and what works about who. but the problem comes when you can’t test it.. at all…

Spvp is great, its a great setup and its perfect the way it is IMHO, but you cannot set up your character the same you can in the real world.

you can mix and match so many different runes and stats that you will never be able to replicate the same stats that you have in WvW. this is a problem for some people that really want to test their build effectiveness in WvW, but can’t duel anyone to test it.

has there been any talk about adding a form of dueling for people who play WvW that want to test their builds vs other players who specifically build their character in a way that sPvP doesnt offer? it just isn’t the same because of the last of customization compared to WvW armors

I wouldn’t mind if they added dueling in the mists but NOT in WvW.

We already have enough people chasing grubs, bouncing around jumping puzzles, gathering, face planting at SM for no reason, wandering around aimlessly and generally being useless.

Add in dueling and we’ve lost people that have the slightest inkling what they are doing to standing at the spawn spanking each other.

So yeah, dueling in the SPvP mists but keep it out of WvW. We need people to focus there.

we could add for spvp in general, it would be fairly easy for them to do that simply by allowing for a duel match in a duel arena for 2-4 people only.

but we need some sort of way for people to fight with their WvW character and test things without having to either steamroll or be steamrolled by 5-10 people out of nowhere.

something like lions arch or just toggleable anywhere would be best.

honestly, there are so many different things in WvW because it’s meant to be interactive, and not just a giant dueling ground, npc’s server a purpose, and we definately need some way to test builds revolving around real world gear, not spvp gear
