Duels

[Giit]

you know what, at this point, I and many others wouldn't care if it's just in the closet of a small room in LL. I just want pvp/duels.

[Arcell]

I don't really see what the problem is in having the option to duel anywhere, except for maybe cities due to high player volume. I mean if it's a duel you must agree to and there's an option to auto-decline duels I don't see the issue. Let people talk, what does it matter if they talk shit because you auto-refuse duels?

[Nazrakin]

The issue with that option is people start bad mouthing the people who have auto reject on. I've played MMO's with duel and the people who sit there and spam duel on people get pissed after being rejected 50 times. I don't know if the blacklist has a limit on how many people can be on it but I don't want to find out.

I have never seen anyone sit and spam duel someone in such a fashion. If it has happened it is incredibly rare and its the exact reason we have a blacklist; those people are likely exhibiting that type of behavior no matter what they are doing. There is absolutely no reason to restrict fun gameplay options just because 1 in 100000 players might abuse it. If we start doing that then there won't be much of a game left.

a person can respect it but then you have the idiots that don't respect it. It happens a lot. I'd still rather see it in specific areas that aren't connected to where people have to walk around. Arenas are a great idea duel request in an arena isn't unreasonable. You have to remember that just because you won't do that that doesn't mean everyone else follows your same example or does the same thing you do.

I remember 14 years ago while playing nexus they introduced an area that allowed pvp... problem was it was open pvp to anyone who walked into that area... good thing was people wanted it bad thing to get to certain places you HAD to go through that area to get where you wanted to go... and people would take advantage of it especially the rogues with their invis spell and quick attack then back the person would die all their gear and loot would drop and you're sitting there even if your lvl 99 going wtf my breakable crap just broke because some idiot killed me when I didn't want to be killed.

thus I'd rather just have it in certain areas and not open and areas nor do i like being spammed by players wanting to fight me all the time like they did when i was play dc universe online.

Just because some other game had bad pvp design doesn't make it applicable here. I don't believe anyone is asking for open world, kill anyone at anytime style pvp. A friendly duel between two consenting players is all the topic is about. There are no consequences to winning or losing, purely a way to pass the time and practice for the real pvp that will take place in the arena.

I've play something like 6 MMO's with duel in it (was shopping around >.>) Every single one I had someone spam me with duel as soon or shortly after I started playing. About 3 I only played for a week. The rest I played for a month or two. I left 2 of the 3 cause they didn't have a auto reject feature so I had to click no every time someone tried to duel me then they would either get bored after a bit or get pissed. A few times I took the duel to shut them up and they killed me in 2 hits as expected. Some people kept spamming me with duel even after I took one to shut em up. In the others it had auto reject and sometimes people would complain that I wouldn't duel and I would port somewhere else. One of the games I would take the duels of people 5-10 levels above me because the level system was messed up and you could kill someone 5-10 levels above you if you had skill. This game also had items you could buy to make you ungodly strong and was why I stopped. There's my story of free to play MMO's.

Yeah have fun trying to cast Thundaga while I'm on my DRG

The joke is that you won't be able to.

Instant cast Thundara that procs stun, run off, throw out a Blizzard for heavy so I can kite, Blizzara to bind if you still get to close. By then Thundara is back up~

I have no idea what I'm talking about

nah just flare flare is good flare is very good heh heh fire

lets not :P if players want pvp they'll be at the arena. I don't want some jackass repeatedly spamming /duel when I've told them no already. You know it would happen.

Or maybe instead of waiving off an entire feature because you don't want to possibly be pestered (which I doubt would happen anyway), you might like to try suggesting a solution to your little, petty problem (like maybe a system where you flag yourself for PvP or can blacklist anyone who pesters you so much).

And if you're fighting an ARC/BRD where melee isn't necessary and you'll likely be in bow range if you want to be in casting range?

Bind from Shadowbind works just as effectively as Bind from Blizzara and Gravity from Leaden arrow is just as nice as Blizzard Gravity.

Plus, with a Barrage followed by a Quick Knock combo, unless you're using Sanguine Rite, their ability to cram arrows down your throat may be more of a problem than you give credit for.

or even report them for harrasment too! (which I read in the faq at se na that something like that can be a form of harassment and is not allowed by se) but on a serious note why call it a petty problem when there are people in the world who just simply won't take no for an answer and will harass you about it. Not everyone respects everyones wishes an ideals. even then a simple blacklist doesn't mean that you can't see what a person is saying in say or shout.... (if it does take all that away please tell me I've actually never blacklisted anyone so i have no experience with it). If they implement that idea of a duel and give us the chance to accept and decline or what not then they will. So far all they've said that pvp was only going to be in certain areas and nothing more.
