Japan Adrealine TV 3.4 PvP Update

[Koltik]

Duels? Duels?! Finally... In an expanded Wolves Den (Pier, I assume?), so not quite everything I hoped for, but a new reason to kick around Wolves Den isn't a bad thing... Please can we get something similar to Triple Triad where we can unlock duels in housing?

I think the point is to get the PvP community centralized and to show that PvP has actually some life to it on your server.

I love how they update us at the same time as the JP.

Oh wait.

Thanks for the translations, Divinemights.

So ... this is real, right? It's not just some speculative hearsay, or some half-baked promise that may or may not have been hinted at but not committed to in some obscure interview? Assuming it's real, then it's about time! I'll reserve final judgements until after I've actually seen how these inclusions are implemented, but I'm definitely happy to hear about them ... or rather most of them ...

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about the Blm sleep nerf. I get just as annoyed as anyone when I'm stuck in sleep, but Blm's excellent CC is pretty much the only reason to bring a Blm into Feast. Taking it away is like telling Plds not to stun. The might as well not play at all ...

More Dark Knight changes? I don't think that's needed... Jobs already plenty powerful

Powerful and useful are two different things. Drk is fine in regards to personal performance, but they are still behind Pld and War when it comes to party support. They're not miles behind, like they used to be, but they're still behind. They could use a minor tweak. As long as it's nothing massive, then they should still be balanced.

[Vejjiegirl]

'm kind of wondering if they actually hate BLM. It's powerful when everything is going perfectly, but still.

The Top players in JPN Feast are mostly Black Mages, which is probably part of the reason why they are being nerfed.
Below highlighted in red are the current black mages in Gaia and Mana servers top 10. Elemental server doesn't seem to have a lot of black mage players in the top 10 atm.

Non-instanced mode makes me wonder how hard it'll be to actually get in.

While it's tough to tell from the wording (especially from an unofficial translation), I feel like it would make the most sense if this turned out to be something that could be done anywhere. Unlocked in the new Wolves' Den, maybe, but then you're able to set up duels with people out in the world through the right-click menu, or whatever.

We'll see, though! However it turns out, being able to have quick fights with friends sounds fun.

To be specific, it is at Wolf Den Pier, the zone will be expanded by installed a plaza. You can duel inside that plaza.

Oh, that's kind of a shame -- I was looking forward to getting into fights on the beach. I can understand this being a bit easier to implement, though.

Also remember Wolve's Den is the only zone you can use pvp skills on training dummies. The community would also probably greatly prefer not to have to decline a request in open world. The game has enough trolls to make an evil thread appear on General discussion how duels are ruining peoples game.

Yeah I guess it would impossible to implement a "refuse duel" option or include the duel refusal under /busy. Totally impossible "nod"

But I guess this is better than nothing....I can't even complain.
