    A Request RP Duel option

    I know we don't have request duels because let's be real.... PVP isn't this game's strong suit. However, I was wondering if it'd be plausible to get a "RP duel". Something that allows us to enter "combat" with another player and allows us all of our auto attack animations and skills but they deal 0 damage and effect. Also maybe only works outside major cities as to not cause more of an issue with aoe spam. I'd just love to be able to do what a lot of NPC's do in the background when it comes to fight RP.

    This could be neat for RP, but I doubt SE would consider this feature worth their time to implement.

    Not like they'd have to do very much. I mean we have a whole feature of fashion accessories now dedicated to RP. Why not mock battles, just disable stats and allow you to target someone as if they were a pve target. The rest is already animated/done.

    I wouldnt call those "Fashion accessories" as "dedicated to RP". Not in the slightest.
    People just want their characters to look the way they want them to look, RP has nothing to do with it.

    Furthermore, i really dont see the point of an "RP duel" - We already have dueling in the game, its just limited to a small arena inside the wolves den. The simple solution would be to simply allow dueling in other areas.

    I'd be down for them adding emotes that did this, minus any of the flashing animations. Can never have too many emotes.

    Fashion Accessories as in the umbrellas?..... that are literally just mounts but umbrellas instead? The sub menu "Fashion Accessories" that even Yoshi-P is calling roleplay options?... I don't think you know what I'm talking about here.

    Also the point of RP dueling would be you don't have to go to the wolves den every single time you wanna "fight someone" and maybe actually have some autos to make your characters look busy like the backgrounds of some of our dungeons are like Ala Mhigo. Allowing dueling in other areas wouldn't really be the simple solution as that would be a lot of work in making pvp skills/hotbars transfer into other maps. Like how the wolves den and only pvp maps have your pvp setup, so that sounds like more work, as much as I want dueling to just be a thing... Plus that wouldn't really be useful for RP sake since you can't auto attack and people seem to think an actual duel = you beat them during RP.

    Right, like how we got /box. More persistent stuff. I'd love more shared emotes, that involve you requesting to join someone in doing an emote like ballroom dancing or sparring etc.

    If it's what it takes to let us use combat actions in gpose, I'm in.

    You can technically already do that. You just have to click "use the last action" thing in /gpose then attack something with a skill and it'll repeat that. Works with LB too.

    I'd hardly call the parasols "Accessories", Accessories are the items equippable on the right side of your character window.

    And yes, this is exactly why i just said...its already in the game, just let us duel in more places, no need to ask for a useless and overly convoluted "RP duels" system.
