[Suggestion] Casual Dueling

[TwiibieTwuu]

I know this is a PvP topic but I kinda wanted to ask you guys.

So I know you can duel in the wolves den but how would you guys feel about being able to duel with a friend outside of the wolves den?

Basically when your HP reaches 0.1 you go into "out of the action" instead of passing out. And no gear is damaged.

Just wanted to suggest this as an alternative to dice roll fights for roleplayers

I've been asking this for years, SQEX should allow us to do PVP Duels outside Wolves Den, just like it happens with Triple Triad Duels outside Gold Saucer, it would be fun. They should let us duel freely in any map or create new Arenas around Eorzea/Norvrant :P

The bloodsands is perfect for an arena. Would be great to watch other players Duke t out from above

I would be strongly against this. There is nothing more annoying in an MMO than having some jerk chase you around spamming a dueling request at you...

Some MMOs have had to resort to a setting to auto-decline these...

Thank goodness FFXIV limits dueling to a specific location.

Could simply have it set off to default. And have it unlocked by an NPC at the wolves den. Maybe named "Boisterous Brawler"

I have to agree with this. The few times I go to the wolves den to have a match with a friend or such, I've had annoying people follow me around in the dieling area spamming myself and my friend 1v1 requests, even when we ask them to stop. I've had the same thing happen when I go into the triple triad battle hall with people spamming me non stop when I'm just trying to interact with an NPC.

Keep it where it is currently.

"Sighs" another thing from wow that doesn't need to be in this game. I got enough of players during my time in wow spamming me duel requests while im questing and harrassing me when i decline. I am highly against this.

That doesn't stop egotistical players with chips on their shoulders still harrassing you shouting "DUEL ME NOOB!!!" over and over even if you have duels turned off by default (it happened to me in WoW and TOR), as Makeda mentioned. No, SE has the right of it restricting PvP dules to the Duel Circle in Wolves' Den only, and I would hate to see that expanded to anywhere , it just does not suit FFXIV at all.

"This feature that would add meaningful and enjoyable content to the game for other people shouldn't exist because I might not like it." Great argument.

I'm sure this would need to be unlocked in some way like literally everything else in this game. You can't even do Triple Triad without unlocking it first and being in a designated area. People can request melds from you and that's not able to be turned off, but do you see people chasing each other around spamming meld requests constantly? People can trade anyone not on a free trial, but people don't ever spam that randomly either, especially now that you can't trade people who are casting anymore (people used to spam trades to cancel people's TPs). People have gotten banned for long periods of time for spam trading, since it's considered harassment. Not to mention I am sure they would give you the option to enable or disable duel requests like nearly every other MMO with them. If all else fails, just turn on busy mode, anyways.

Basically, the point is, if someone did this then you just report them like anyone else spamming literally anything else in the game. It can be done with more than just a duel request. But people aren't jackasses by default, and it's pretty immature to assume that they will be in lieu of possibly adding more meaningful content to the game for some people.

That doesn't stop idiots still harrassing you shouting "DUEL ME NOOB!!!" over and over even if you have duels turned off by default

I thought this game had a block function? I can understand this being a problem on a PvP oriented server but not a casual pve one.
