One on one PvP matches...

...will they come to fruition? Not for wolf marks or anything like that, but just for the fun of it?

I wonder... seeing how SE tried to keep the same skills for PvP and PvE for every class, balancing PvP for 1 on 1 might be very hard or impossible!

They should add 1v1 as this game's version of "dueling". No rewards or worrying about class balance, just a novelty mode that allows two players to take each other on in the same manner as the duel feature in other MMOs allowed.

+1, would be amazing practice with friends!

Definitely want that, I wanna duel my friends :D

Soo the 1 in 1 - 4 participants means one on one is not possible?

I assume you have to use the duty finder and it'll put you into a 4 vs. 4 no matter what.

I figured what you said as well but then I went back to check and it said in the last two rows :




___Category______ Level_________Time Limit___ Number of Participants

The Wolves Den__ 30 or above____30 minutes_____1 - 4

The Wolves Den__ 40 or above____30 minutes_____1 - 4

(Party Matching)_____ 50________30 minutes_____1 - 3

(Preformed Party)____ 50________30 minutes______4

So the way they said 1-4 and 1-3 in the other columns it makes it look like the only one that requires no less than 4 is the level 50 last column. I have not tried PVP and have no idea though.

Eh the spacing is broken when I save, sorry.

Before level 50 no one nor the system believes a difference is required.

At level 50 there's two brackets:

• 1-3: This counts as partial party joining, you can join this queue if you are alone, with a friend, or with two friends, and the system WILL put you with other people up to 4 to match party requirements (1 healer, 1 tank, 2 DPS), so this is like traditional DF group queueing.
• 4: If you are joining with a group of 4 friends (premade) you can only join this option (and you must still meet requirements of 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 DPS).

This way if you join as full team, you'll only be battling full teams, and if you join as partial team, you'll be battling partial teams, either way always 4vs4.

PS: Not interested in 1vs1 but good luck, it won't hurt me if it exists, though I expect it to be a drama bomb, even if some people are ok with "just let us do it, no need for balancing" other people will cry, as usual.

I would like a 2v2 option. The reason SE went with the standard 4 person party is so tanks werent left out, which is what would happen.

@Vektrat
Thank you for explaining it in detail. Makes sense to me now. :)

Please see my post before the website update.

a duel system is something that should be put in the game, when you dont feel like doing arenas or boring pve, you can just lay back somewhere with a few friends taking turns dueling and showing off your pvp skills to each other, even if the game isnt very suitable to 1 vs 1 due to some class unbalance it can still be very enjoyable.

Or even hold tournaments in front of random spectators while they feast on smoked raptor and drink orange juice from their goblets.


/joust

dueling will supposedly be possible in the housing areas at some point.

Duel mode anywhere in the world, yes please.

Why did you bump a thread from 2013?

Why wouldn't you? I want duels in housing areas. Imagine the fight clubs that you could host.

Why NOT rehash a thread that would be a cool feature?

I guess there's people that would find it fun, but with how things are balanced I think many would be frustrated.
Certain jobs would get absolutely wrecked vs certain others, zero chance of winning.

But it's duels. The same ones you can have in wolves' den. There's literally 0 stakes in duels lol, people just do it for fun.

Yep. No gain, no loss.
I mean that many probably don't find it fun because certain jobs are just better duelers than others.
But as you said this can already be done in the wolves' den, I don't think enabling it elsewhere would be a bad thing.

I've been wanting this for years. Make it happen SE!

The way they design it isn’t going to work. I would like to see a Blade & Soul style, 1v1 PvP for this game, but that’s just wishful thinking.

Have the parry CC, rising phoenix, countering their assault, procs a stun, MNK launches them with six-size star, phantom rush them while in the air, then meteodrive for the finish. ………..huh…….it actually sounds fun.

RPR can survive that combo with arcane crest up. I don't think people realize how tanky rpr is in pvp. They suck at everything else, but they can survive better than most of the tanks.

They should give us our PvP hotbars in Island Sanctuary and allow me to enable island wide PvP.

No kidding, did the whole empowered melee combo + LB combo as a monk on one once during a Borderlands map in frontline, even knocked em off the edge of the midpoint (though not all the way down). Game's registered damage? Zero. That's right, zero damage, and they had no healer support through this as their team had ran off.

Netcode being awful to the point of disallowing players to even weave heals due to animation queue locks is one thing, but something like that is truly absurd. Was even being helped by two other people against em. Needless to say, that bubble is insanely strong despite what the tooltip indicates. Granted the tooltip doesn't factor in Frontline's quirks.

It'd be really funny if island owner could turn on PvP at will. Imagine turning a friendly gathering into Battle Royale. Would go hard

Square says that they balance some of the PvP through 1vs1 but then if you go play BLM and facetank any melee you'll know that's not true. Also, some of the weaker jobs in CC like Reaper are possibly an unbeatable duel job. Strength wise, RPR, BLM, MNK, DRG, PLD are top duel jobs.

I wish but i also wish the entire balance was made around 1v1s not team battle
