Duels

[Giit]

Nobody said you can't have pvp, you're getting an arena for it. Honestly, that's the best scenario, because if you go there, you're guaranteed to find somebody that actually wants in on it. You can have it, I don't care for it. My outlook is this; it doesn't matter what the game is you're playing, there is always somebody better than you. I don't care to prove that, I'm here for PvE. It's the same damn reason I don't play Call of Duty and other such games online, it's much less fun having you ass handed to you. Sure, I may well suck at PvP, but guess what? I don't care, I have no interest in pissing contests.

that's fine, but you're not getting my point either.

how about this...all pvp within city limits = arena. outside the cities, we should be able to /duel. there's plenty of times when standing around waiting for timers, etc. that we've all wished we could be testing gear, doing something, pvp. people that enjoy pvp aren't a virus or even an eyesore, it's fun to watch, and fun to be involved in, if YOU, and people like you don't like it..go turn around, go somewhere else, OR....enjoy it while we entertain you. I don't see how it's even possible for anyone to get all hot and bothered over something like this lol.

and in case you haven't noticed, you're already in a pissing contest, silly :P it's an MMO, a competitive game. if you're not taking part, you best be only using AF gear. for me, I'll be the guy with the stream that can put out skyscraper fires. feel free to water the daisies. as long as it's fun for you <3

Except that as has been stated earlier, most players don't want pvp outside of the arena. By keeping it limited to the arena you are guaranteed to find somebody to answer your request positively. Lets put it this way, if I ewant pvp I'll go to the arena, if not, I don't want to be annoyed by your requests for it from me.

Not really. Without pvp, it's me vs the game. I'm in absolutely no rush to be first at anything, or to be the best [insert class here] on the server. Some folks are, and for them maybe it is a pissing contest, but it's not for me, that's not what I enjoy in this game. I aim to be a solid player with a solid group of friends to play with, that's it.

Duels outside the city would be fun and it would be another boredom killer. Unless people want it strictly in the arena then that would be cool. Perhaps some sort of instanced arena in case people just want 1 on 1.

Theres a chance that some people might take 1v1 too seriously though and may start demanding fixes.

I'd like to see a black mage fight a monk though.

first off, I don't believe polls taken on the forums, it's lol worthy. since it's mainly the same trolls kissing each others asses, with agendas along the same lines. I've been playing MMO's for going on 9 years, and see this as a fact, an undeniable truth. that little statistic of yours is a moot point with me and in no way reflects the actual things that others want in the game. most people don't know what they want until they get it. fact.

secondly, you're obviously very stubborn about want or don't want, and that's fine, I respect your opinion, and your right to state it, but when you're done kicking the crap out of that dead horse, I invite you to have an open mind to at least try it, and let us give it a chance before you burn it. a game that cannot evolve is a dead game. you have every right to be a wallflower, and nobody will stop you, but it seems like you're looking for a chat program, not a competitive MMO, which is what this is. imo, this game can be all things to people like you and me, so maybe try not to step on our balls, just because a few of us want a little more out of it. give a chance before huffin and puffin about how horrible it will be.

there will definitely be fixes ^^, there's is always an imbalance of classes when pvp is introduced, it's part of the fun, hehe. but in general the fixes are to pvp only, and rarely reflect on pvm abilities. if we had duels right now, there would be some very unlikely classes/jobs on top.

There is no reason they couldn't put in an option to "Refuse all duels", that way you are never bothered by it. Personally, I'd love the option since it really does help with the boredom that often comes with standing around and waiting for things to happen.

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.

with the option to receive a duel invite turned off, I'd love to know how someone is going to badmouth you about it oO that makes no sense at all. not dueling is the same as not wanting to do anything else. there's always people that don't want to duel, even pvp addicts don't want it now n then, that's why the option to deny a request is there. people tend to respect it, and move on.

[Arcell]

I'd be up for seeing dueling in the game as long as both players had to agree to it.

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.
