lol,the irony of the thread title. Somethings is going to be broken if it's any kind of gap closer/axis handling maneuver. We shall see.

At least they fixed craglorn, I tried to get groups together to do that cursed zone for nearly a year before writing the whole thing of as a waste of time, finally I can just go through and do it without anything and everything getting in the blasted way

Also gamble boxes. Update 12 is adding those to the crown store, because when they promised us, "no lockboxes," what they really meant was, "until we get bored."

what they really meant was until we need to make more money I have no problem with that, that's what they are in business to do, hate to say it people spend ridiculous amounts of money on these things, just another avenue for revenue, and how long ago did they say no lockboxes, was that before the game went buy to play ? Paul Sage maybe, anything said before the payment model change is out the window, I am still expecting them to announce at pax this is also the free to play patch, no longer need to buy the client which is dirt cheap now.

With dueling the forums are going to be lit up with so many new nerf threads, going to be the popcorn event of the year,,LOL

17th monster helm....new mystery dungeon on its way? Or possibly....one of the IC dungeons gets continued....that woman who got the elder scroll in wgt gets a better offer from Bal? Larynth decides to take up a new role as warden?

Can't wait for all the "Nerf x because y" threads that will surface with this dueling.

Balance will be a nightmare once and if ZOS tries to balance around 1v1.

I want dueling, i have wanted it since beta. but i agree, we are going to see triple the nerf threads once dueling is in. nerf tanks because they mitigate my damage. nerf nightblades because they always cloak in 1v1 etc... It will be a nightmare.

Dueling, oh great, incoming more nerfs from PvPer.

It was when Buy to Play was announced.

So this dueling they speak of, are there going to be set areas in PVE where you can do this or are we going to be spammed to death by everyone running by asking to duel?

There is an auto decline in settings and they said before dueling would be off in cities, but not recently.

CapnPhoton

Props to ZOS for adding the dueling auto decline feature...

Integral1900

Its going to be an avalanche of LF Duel spam, angry insults, malicious bickering, bruised ego's and battered pride, oh well at least there is the ignore player option, I will be getting some use out of that function after all lol

ZOS_GinaBruno

Just a heads up that we'll be talking a lot more about dueling in a couple weeks at PAX West with our Lead PvP Designer Brian Wheeler.

Jade1986

Seriously, it took them this long to add weapon ultimates?

I swear on my life the sword and shield one better not be a smurfed damage shield.

Dont get me wrong, I am excited about them, but this is something that should have been in the game from the very get go.

I'm not going to be happy if there is no AP gained for winning duels. If not AP, there needs to be SOME tangible reward.

Ummm no lol, if you want AP stay in Cyrodiil.

I can just imagine the many ways cheaters/exploiters could use duels to gain fast AP.

Well I can think of several ways, similar to how they have it now.

Leaderboard style where every player has a value, beating a lower value will provide low reward, beating a higher level will provide more reward, playing the same opponent in x amount of time will result in exponentially decreasing reward from said opponent.

They could have the same mechanics without a Leaderboard too. Could easily add a side wager option.

I seriously doubt they'll add a way for spectators to bet, I mean they can do it own their own (like the guardian gambling going on currently)

Finally... it's actually coming...


Still waiting for horse racing though.... lmfao jk

If you're going to keep adding so many monster sets please start making them with TWO shoulder pieces. One is so unsymmetrical. Seriously.

Alternatively, add some kind of transmutation system to change the appearance of one item to another. Lots of games have it. Heck, even this game has it in a limited fashion for transmuting an item's appearance to Imperial. So implementing it wouldn't be too difficult.

Having an option to turn this off will be nice, however...... you can be sure there is going to be a huge influx of whispers asking to duel. So for those that want no part of this what will they need to do? Are they being forced to turn off ALL chat to avoid the constant zone spam and whispers? Why not take the duels to PVP and leave PVE alone?

Good lord, relax. You can say this literally about any little pet feature than someone might want. They are doing wonderful work with this game.

Isn't dueling going to affect the cyrodiil population in a negative way? Still no justice system, either? All I've been doing is dailies, hoping that they will improve or implement some interesting element to PvP, but no... its just more dungeons and PvE population stuff. Nerf PvE updates!!!

First off, who cares if you're happy or not. Second, why would one be rewarded for dueling? The essence of dueling is a reward in and of itself; being able to fight another player under controlled conditions that you get to specify.

This is an MMO... there is a reward for EVERYTHING you do that's worth doing. That's how the devs get the players to keep playing, duh.

Alliance Points are obtained when you kill enemy players. Why shouldn't I get AP for killing those same players in a duel?

Or will dueling be same faction only?

PvE duels probably will have another sort of rewards.

Finally duels, and in citys aswell. Now i know where i will hang out and challenge ppl to show their skill.

Actually it was in game from the get go. They removed them because of balance issues

Ashamray

Can't believe that duels will be able in cities and towns. I'm sure this will never happen.

Alliance Points are awarded for fighting for you Alliance in the contested battlegrounds of Cyrodiil. Not for getting into a drunken brawl outside the tavern in Daggerfall.

This is going to be very chaotic and toxic if they don't isolate the duels either to certain areas or certain phases.

Intuition says it will be chaos, and the precursor to open world PVP.

JKith

I play mostly PvE, haven't gotten in to PvP yet.. but plan to.

Question:

Is there an arena (kind of like the Arena in Oblivion) where it's a 1v1 setting on different teams (or in this case alliances) where you rise through the ranks by beating the other guy, only being able to be demoted in the ranks by being challenged and losing?

I think that would be super cool... Kind of like a Gladiator setting... where a solo build that incorporates all aspects would win,.. then a 2v2 or a 3v3???

Am I the only one who's excited about this idea??
