DUEL pvp

[Canadane]

You are being close minded. Sure maybe have some restrictions , like main cities hubs.

That would be even more chaotic. The city-states have peace, for the most part. It'd be pretty lore breaking to just suddenly have combat everywhere in town.
I wouldn't mind a few more square dueling circles around the world, just to give some variety of backgrounds to duels. But other than flavour it's not very substantial.

GL fighting against a tank or healer
*5h later* still no winner.

First there must be a huuuuuge change in this unbalanced pvp system

Only if invination to it will be somewhere in the corner without popping up so it could be completely ignored without any additional actions. With, preferably, ability to set a toggle for rejecting duel invintations by default (this one is optional). Otherwise - no, thanks. Random party invintations can be annoying as it is.

I like how duel works in DC Universe Online and Borderlands 2. It’s quick and no menus. I wish we could randomly duel with players anywhere. While waiting for someone to finish a cutscene in a dungeon or in a city. Of course have an option to turn off duel if player don’t want to duel.

Duel doesn’t have to be major. I would want it for quick pass time or random battles with people in the city.

What if we get to play a quick rock paper scissors type of minigame with other players instead. I agree there should be a way to resolve an argument on the spot, but pvp is hardly fair with how the jobs are balanced.

You can queue for chocobo racing from anywhere.

Edit - Was trying to be smug, but then I remembered you can't do that within a duty. All we got is /random.

Use / random or the other number generator. Faster and less complicated and it already in-game.

I don't wanna see full open world pvp unless the devs design a world per data centre strictly allowing it.

However I would actually be fine with them adding designated dueling zones to each major city.

-Limsa, Upper Decks, on top of the tower above the airship docks.
-Gridania, Old Gridania below the leatherworkers guild
-Ul'Dah, obvious coliseum is obvious
-Ishgard, Temple Knights training grounds
-Idyllshire, top left corner past the hard place
-Kugane, Shimisegumi barracks just extend it a little
-Doman Enclave, add it past the fields
-Crystarium, wide open space between pendants and stairs to Crystal Exarch
-Eulmore, Vauthry's throne area.

Could add achievements like
-win 100/200/300 times in an area 100/300 for titles like 100 having Ul'Dah's rising star and 300 having Ul'Dah's Finest, 200 for an area specific minion
-win as <insert job here> 100/200/500 times, 100/500 having titles like 100 having <insert job here> duelist of the rose and 500 having Master <insert job here> , 200 having job specific minion based on the artwork of said job.
-Could also have mount rewards for getting 200 wins in every area and one for 200 wins on every job, can be reskins of the very old ranked pvp mounts like a completely black Hoarhound or a yellow magitek conveyer.

Just an idea I ran with XD

Ngl I love these thoughts and would be totally excited to have them if PvP in this game didn't feel so clunky and awful

Not going to lie. When I first saw the Coliseum in Uldah during 1.0 I was hoping it would be like an open viewing arena to watch people (players) fight. You could place bets and such. Nope... but it would be cool to use it for just simple PVP matches

As for Ishgard, they could actually make use of the Chocobo Proving ground for PvP.

The game actually has a lot of unused spots in the cities that could be used for friendly PvP and such.
