Group Duel Option in the "Wheel Menu" or Housing

Diundriel

everyone knows the fast wheel duel option

and everyone knows the current state of BGs
the new BGs are just a pain especially if you wanna play pre-made against premade.
matches just do not start cause someone doesnt get ported, leaves, crashs etc. wasting all our times

so here is my proposal:

wouldnt it be a cheap and easy to implement - but nice idea to have an option in the "fast wheel menu" next to the current dueling option to initiate / request a group vs group duel?
could even make use of the community's self build housing arenas. just make the range a bit bigger than 1vs1 duel and maybe add a longer "cooldown" so people do not get spammed or actually make everyone accept it after lead accept it - many possible options to introduce sth like this ... just pls dont make any requirement like 4vs4 6vs6 just let people GAME as they want... if they want to play 8vs6, and everyone accepts it - who cares

or just make an housing option to make it a pvp area with group based teams (like Izanagi describes below)

yes, great idea

That would be cool--maybe there would be limited areas that it could work in to prevent some big duel clogging up main areas of cities. It sounds like a fun way to support the PvP community, but I wonder if it woudl be used enough to justify the development time and bug-fixing, etc, as well as adding bloat to the interact wheel.

cant imagine it taking a lot more dev ressources than sth like a new BG map. making everything a possible "XvsX" arena. i think the easiest is just to enable it everywhere - people will not tryhard XvsX in the most laggy places and even if they do - kinda their fault. I think smallscale / pvp guilds would just opt for their guild halls or alikir desert

i guess the devs could work out the details and best way to introduce sth like this that is actually viable - cause i got no clue. just cant imagine it being too difficult and value per input ratio would be insanely good for entire endgame pvp community

i don't care

I don't duel, so I don't care.

Side note: Nothing is "cheap and easy" to implement. The slightest change means procedures to be applied, using manpower and consuming time, resulting in costs (budgeting, development, concept proposal, reviewing, approval, realisation, testing, verification, release for implementation, and so on...).

I don't care either way. It's something that would be nice once some key features people have asking for years get done but not anything urgent imo.

i don't care

it's been requested for years so it is likely already on a list somewhere in ZOS.

Definitely not quick and easy to implement, never believe anything is. And saying that you think something is easy to add on a feature request post is not a good idea.

I would rather they allow houses to be flagged for PVP and group based non-friendly fire.

This way you could do group duels or other events (1vX, pvp practice, gvg etc) rather than just 1 simplistic option.

i guess that would be the other option but them not having introduced a housing option to enable sth like this nor a wheel menu group duel option after all these years is kinda disappointing.

maybe its just stuck somewhere in the pipeline due to low priority ...
