I just want to let those AD gankers who attacked and killed me multiple times while I was dueling know that, you are disrespectful people.

    There is an unwritten custom on the PTS to not attack random players of other factions except during keep sieges. Players duel with other players specifically to test skills, tactics and combinations. Go to the live server if you wish to gank or coordinate your ganking activities with another player to test skills while stealthed. Ganking has no place on the PTS because it interferes with the actual testing being conducted.

    It's possible they were testing stealth attacking, (ie ganking)

    unwritten blah blah. You entered a PVP zone. QQ or find a nice safe spot (as safe as you can get) in pvp and duel there. I dont always attack people fighting 1v1 but sometimes i get bored and do it for fun. Why you ask? Because it is a pvp zone.......

    No unwritten rule will ever make me not do it, just like the unwritten rule of "dont attack buff servers" will never ever apply to me. It is a pvp zone. Where people fight. You want dueling? Petition for it.

    @Gorthax what are you doing on pts then? i rly think you dont get it.
    it's ttly diferrent of the "buff server" issue. if you are bored, go to live server please.

    also, yea I do get it. You want to test things. GREAT! So do I! But just because it is a test server does not mean I cant attack people I see fighting. Like I said previously, find a nice spot where no one ventures to (there are MANY) and meet there to duel.

    Granted, getting ganked is frustrating, especially repeatedly (it would be nice for the gankers to leave the duelers alone). However, aside from finding new/old bugs, limitations to new mechanics, etc., should we also not 'test' in the ways in which we are accustomed to playing?

    It's a test zone not a pvp zone. We are not fighting each other, we are fighting bugs and imbalances. If you want a pvp zone it is on live right now. While ganking is worth testing, it should not be done in a way that interferes with other testing. If you want to test your gank whisper someone.

    Without forward camps, the location to test duel is going to be pretty limited to the borders between faction territories.

    why? Am I not allowed to test stuff? gtfo lol

    What are you testing exactly? Your ability to one or two shot from range a previously engaged target without repercussion?

    Already did it, still works. Moving on.

    I just rode a horse and searched around for 15 minutes trying to find something to test my new stuff on. I don't care what you're doing. You consented to PvP by entering the zone. I'm going to kill you and your partner.

    its so funny to listen that someone rode 15 minutes around to test some rotation that could be test in any mudcrab.

    I'm testing the stealth play so I've been doing nothing but ganking whoever I come across. So far it feels like people stay alive longer and there is more prep work per gank now, I need to pop 3 buffs before opening where on live I only use 1 and that's only if they are vamp/WW.

    Edit: How awesome would it be if this game had target dummies? Scaled for pvp & pve?

    lol, op.

    Would you like to place a bet on whether or not the first person I run across (EP or DC) will attack me on site?

    The best way to have uninterrupted duels is to go to a designated area that is "generally" known as a dueling area. I am not sure where that is in this game, maybe that area with the dragon that I have seen in some videos.

    PvPing on PTS with a template, I had the impression people didn't show each other the respect I am used from the EU server. One could argue that is because I am running with a template and are simply not very dominating in the fights, but that doesn't explain all the emoting and, as stated by OP, interrupting of duels.

    So if your gank testing post some results . Also dedicating a area to duel test is a good idea . I generally don't interupt duels anywhere unless I didn't realize a test duel was occurring . They'll be a time with the Devs to test openly soon enough .

    Which faction are you?

    I can tell you that it was DC who started ganking at the duels last night, if that's what you're talking about. After they started, things went down hill... and if you were duelling closer to Nikel you were likely ancillary to the gank duels that were kicked off after.

    I am DC and I am pretty sure DC didnot start it. After being ganked several times we went stealth did same to those gankers until they are bored of it.
    And that was yesterday afternoon

    Except if you are going to test burst DPS out of stealth (ya know, ganking). Then doing it in a zerg-fest castle defense sim doesn't really work. Ya dig?

    As mentioned before you can test it on mobs and then get an idea of how much damage it will do on high armored players. Moreover, stealth is bugged in PTS right now and it does no bonus damage for certain abilities(Ambush, veiled strike etc.). Unless you are some other class than NB I am not sure how you are gonna try stealth

    Ok than, separate incidents. Just so you're aware... it was DC who broke duel protocol last night.

    I was ganked while sitting in a chair watching the duels... so, maybe have a talk with your own about class.
