Dueling Item Level Sync

[Koltik]

I don't see how there will be any difference between a synced and unsycned environment in practice. You hit like a truck in i245, but your opponent has i245 HP as well, and vice versa. I think they will play out exactly the same, with very minor differences in practice.

If anything, an unsynced environment is likely to cause more complaints, because a fresh 60 in i195 dungeon gear is going to get destroyed by a i245 person and forget that their gear is at fault. At least with a sync, the gear ceiling is very low so time-to-kill metrics will be standardized for most players.

Except for the fact that most players who are heavy PvPers do not raid and do not even have access to i245 gear. If they do not sync then they need to add i245 gear to PvP vendors, and all that would do is throw off PvE balance. 1v1 balance will already be bad enough, no need to throw huge iLvl differences into the mix to throw it off even more.

So, all the more reason to have an ilvl sync, which I am in favour of too.

That said, I don't see why they would need to add i245 gear to PvP vendors in the event that it isn't synced though. Dueling is consensual so you can just reject any requests from PvE geared people if you feel it's unfair, it's not like there are points to earn or scores to record.

Just give an option to iLevel synch when you request the duel if people are gonna be mad they can't use their PvE gear lol.

I'd just make the whole zone have item level sync, and then if two people agree they can sync themselves. People can both sync, people can both unsync, you can train on dummies, you can sync and let someone else not sync to test your healing against a super strong burst, etc... It's a win-win for everyone. If you want to sync and the other guy doesn't, find someone else to duel.

Too hard. Took them a while xpac to make range distance affect dummies. :^)

If it is too hard they can literally just make the whole zone a fate.

I wish wolves den was already item synched. It would make it easier to test gear on dummies. Pls item synch wolves den ASAP = )

[FreeKingStefan]

Signed. The fact that they even considered taking off the ilvl sync for dueling speaks volumes to how they are treating PVP. It really just makes no sense. Hopefully they see this feedback in time for the patch, and it launches with a sync, since most PVPers have gear varying in ilvl to meet BiS PVP stats.

We don't need sync PvP is suppose to be a test of skills. Either accept the fight knowing you're out geared or not. PvP has no progression it's just a free meal for tomes and that's true fact don't deny it. Theres also no competitions at all either.

I dont' understand if you are just trolling the pvp comunity looking at you last comments, anyway, it is not just a tome farm, if you do it for that purpose you are wasting your time cause of the long queue or you are just cheating with naked parties on 4vs4 preformed.
I do The Feast and Frontlines just for fun, because I like it as content and I'm not the only one.

Anyway a lot of people are asking for a sync because actually it will be a good and realiable way to test your skill before entering a match, and remember that actually it is resctricted to the Wolves Den area.
I would like to have BOTH options, and honestly I hoped that the Duels would have implemented as the Triple triad, not just in 1 area, in that case I can really figure out that they didn't implement the sync, because people will randomly spar each other while waiting for a que, just for fun.
