DEV REQUEST:DUEL/SPAR system

Since I think Open Pvp would be to crazy and people would just kill you while you're mining,fishing,etc....

I propose a Duel/Spar system like Dc Universe Online has, Invite a player to duel and then you can pvp within an enclosed space.

There will be option to ignore all duels or you put an icon next to a players name indicating that person wants to duel and available to duels.

Just think it would be fun to duel/spar in open world and get people into PVP- playing the game longer and having more things to do in game.;)

Hate to break it to you, but you just activated a vast majority of this forums Trigger Word.

For some reason a lot of the children here can't seem to understand that dueling can be set to auto deny and fear some sort of harassment because they won't agree to a duel.

That being said I'm 200% behind this. Epecially with the floating islands, the open world would be a wonderful spot for some dueling. Hell if we could just get it in the housing districts I'm be stoked.

Not happening. SE regards individual players fighting one another as counter to the Final Fantasy ethos. They wouldn't do it in FFXI, they're not going to do it here. PvP in Final Fantasy MMOs has always been in teams based on the city you pledged allegiance to. I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.

I'm a little confused as to why you're so sure this won't happen, with only references of their previous MMO to back up your statement. Anyone who had actually played FFXI and came to FFXIV can effortlessly list numerous changes that had been made going into FFXIV.

Here, I'll list a few.

• Non-chocobo mounts
• No limit break quests, even confirmed not to happen for 3.0
• Obvious class differences (SMN, BRD, SCH, DRK)
• Easing of crafting difficulty
• No skill chains or magic bursts
• Not having to skill up things such as evasion, summoning magic, weapon proficiency
• Open world bosses giving credit to everyone regardless of who pulled
• Quest based leveling instead of flat grinding
• Male Miqo'te
• Female Roegadyn
• Au'ra

Just because FFXI did it one way doesn't mean FFXIV won't do it another. It's not the same game. Sure, I think FFXI did some things better, but I've moved on. I think people might be happier once they learn to do the same.

Players simply do not attack other players on an individual basis in Final Fantasy. It's completely counter to the central theme of teamwork that is FF. It's not happening. If we ever get individual duels I will pay you 10,000 gil. Then I'll probably quit.

actually i've heard it's because while /duel requests can be blocked, you can't necessarily block the people dueling in public spaces, so they'd need to create separate instances, which would put a strain on the servers and kinda go against the epeen value of a duel in the first place.
Basically it's either a little work for something that would just annoy players, or too much work for something no one would ever use.

I wouldn't mind this being one of the modes in Wolves' Den, but open world no. Just no. Keep the PvP to Wolves' Den and Frontlines.

It's completely optional open world and make people want to have contest and tourmetments for fun. If we can have dance parties together why not sparring matches

We are not attacking out of Malice but testing each other's skills as adventurs- completely fits in the lore and will make open world even more alive.

They do it in DCUO. And doesn't upset the real world. At all . Lol some ppl would quit if ppl can choose to spar with each other. It's just for fun . If they wanted they can add achievements but that's up to them
