Guild Wars 2

No need to prove anything. People duel for good fights and to have fun. Karmatraining some doors might be fun for some people, but not for everyone.

Someone come duel me in Mag BL

Keep being attacked… a duel rite outside of keep may have been an attempt to bait the few defenders outside so they could get ganked. So the attackers can proceed to take an unmanned keep.

Oh… is it by chance that you start getting focused after an interruption or is it troll accounts giving out defence info and discriptions to attackers. And they cry about Anet no caring for WvW, it’s mostly player created problems.

If your keep is being attacked you should have other problems than the few duelers outside that are not attacking said keep.

Also “defense info”, don’t make me laugh. Most of us don’t give a kitten about your keep and it’s not like siege can’t be cleared, anyway.

I was referring to far off siege my hot blooded friend and a limited amount of defenders. But thanks you hit the nail on the head “Most of us don’t give a kitten about your keep” a ref. to the troll accounts.

Now… why don’t you be understanding to the defenders and use the same logic you want to stick others with and utilize the designated dueling areas.

Because maybe, just maybe we don’t give a kitten about “us” dueling in peace.

Something else for you to laugh at. I relish in the knowledge that I made someone smile.

Then you certainly don’t mind us actually going after your objectives, because you just caused us to stop doing the thing preventing us from capping all your camps, killing your dolyaks and farming your zerglings

If there’s q, and people are waiting to get in map and defend, then go duel some place else. Don’t be selfish and take spots from defenders, since there are many possibilities for dueling without reserving those spots. If there is no q, then duel all you want, I don’t care. For me personally, red is dead…

Queue, what is that? Most of the time i’m actually outmanned.

Also, i’m going to interpret your “red is dead” as “i’m a small zergling in fear for those evil roamers that kill me while farming PvE mobs for my stack sigils. I better get 4 other people so i can jump on them after i rightfully got my kill”.

I thought that’s what roamers do, no??? But I was under the believe that I was referring to the friendly duelers that stand around and start dueling during attacks, troll accounts. Two hostile duelers are free game also. “If it’s red it’s dead”

And judging one particular reply I think I was right on target.

Yes, that’s what we do if we are not dueling. You ended the duel, so we continue roaming. Congratulations, you just caused your server to lose points

If they are in OS, then fine, that is a pretty designated area for duelling, the windmill is another place like this, but less so. Anywhere else and a “red name = fair game”.

I wish they would just add a duelling mode so when you can request a duel, when you accept the duel, you become immune to all damage except from that person, but you can only do damage to that person, cannot complete events or loot except from that person etc to prevent.

That and they could just add duel arena in LA, with leaderboards, which would be fantastic.

To be honest I have very little sympathy for the people that keep screaming for 1v1. Dueling in GW2 is essentially useless. This is especially true in WvW. There are way too many abilities, mechanics, buff and gear choices that make dueling a moot point (blinks, immunities of any kind, high stealth upkeep, guard stacks, food, Perplexity runes, etc.).

It’s especially bad when duelers monopolize large portions of the map that see a lot of activity, like the island above South Camp. If you absolutely have to duel do it where no one disturbs you and you disturb no one else. As has been said, Windmill or Obsidian Sanctum come to mind. That way you avoid a lot of bad feelings.

For me optimal WvW group size is 2-3 players. GW is a team game and nothing can change that fact. In a small group support is essential and by grouping up you can take small objectives or even larger, lightly defended ones. I’m also lucky to play with people that don’t favour the usual bursty gank builds that are very common nowadays. That makes playing WvW very enjoyable for me. That said, we usually leave alone smaller groups or solo roamers unless they attack us. I OTOH make an exception for notorious guilds and trolls. You reap what you saw.
