Let us PVP Friends for No Gain

[Kallera]

Many people don't want open-world dueling due to the break in "immersion".

This would suffice.

Town scuffles break out on a regular basis in the story.

People seem to want dueling much more so... going to migrate to a new thread suggesting open-world dueling... see where that goes.

[Parz3val]

Haha just as I suspected, equal if not more naysayers with regards to implementing open-world dueling.

[Atomnium]

This new type of feature ingame and even more if it was added into duty finder would for sure please a lot of my friends and people in a general way, clever idea that would lead to solo-pvp content for a very short duty-finder queu...

For once that someone got a nice idea, don't let the boy alone and go thumb-up his thread.


Note : I'm not a pvp-player and I usually dislike doing pvp in any games but when someone come with a clever idea, you have no other choice than admitting it.

[Parz3val]

People can't seem to agree on any such PVP addition...

I can say this at least, you won't have nearly the harassers you'd get with open-world PVP duel-requests under this idea.

So please support this idea. I just want to be able to PVP against my friends for fun.

I would love this...

It'd be sick if we could choose to challenge friends in the Wolve's Den or Frontlines for no reward.

Ex. I form a Light Party, a friend forms another, right-click my friend "Challenge: Wolve's Den".

This could be one method of permitting us to duel too as we could reserve instances to fight one another purely for fun.

Could make for really awesome FC Events.

What do you all think?

how about openworld duels? why has everything to be instanced?


in Dark Age of Camelot you had a command like

/duel challenge <name>
/duel Accept
/duel decline

and you could duel everyone .. everywhere if you wanted to.

or make the arena in Ul'dah (the small one) open for everyone ..

^This would be a solid fix for open world pvp complaints. I would preferably like to see something like this and the standard duel challenges that already exist in many mmos and have been mentioned a couple times in this thread.

If we could not have those two things, then I suppose I would settle on the op's idea. It would not be my preference if I am to be honest. This subject deserves a lot of attention though imo, so +1 to the op from me.

Check his post-history, he's tried suggesting every alternative there is.

The most rampant complaint with regards to open-world dueling is Player Harassment.

Players argue that a wealth of people will harass others to no end to "duel me brah".

And that blacklisting isn't sufficient as there is no end to the "madness".

Personally, I think the issue is overblown but meh.

This' the most fair & reasonable compromise really.

Also, opening up the Coliseum wouldn't work unless it were instanced which would then be identical to this suggestion.
