Does Elder Scrolls Online need a duel system ?

granty2008cyb16_ESO

do you think there should be a duel system added to ESO so you and your friends of the same faction! can put the big question who would win if you were to fight ?

Spectre45

Yes

I'm actually amazed that a big budget mmo like this would launch without such an incredibly basic feature like this.

granty2008cyb16_ESO

Yes

please no votes can you explain why you voted no ?

Samadhi

Yes

Voted yes.
If for no other reason than it would make it significantly easier for me to run reproducible tests on PvP mechanics.

granty2008cyb16_ESO

Yes

would make pvp build testing easier trash talking friends would have to get learned defo a feature we need i to can't believe it wasn't in the game at launch and still no reasons for no votes

Tavore1138

No

No, because this is not every other MMO!

Why do people insist on trying to make this a clone?

It is like ordering steak and whining because it is not lamb, just go and order lamb and let the rest of us enjoy our steak!!

granty2008cyb16_ESO

Yes

ok not another mmo why have pvp at all why have swords and mounts and sets of armor is that the best reason you could come up with and why would it affect you if you didn't have to use it ?

jrgray93

Yes

I wouldn't say "need" but I voted yes on the grounds that I want it. It would certainly be a great thing to have so long as people aren't forced to participate. My previous suggestions on how to make it work:

- No duels in cities.
- Players must intentionally flag themselves before they can even be sent duel invites. Default is off.

This way, people who don't want it can log in the day it comes and their play experience will be entirely unchanged. There isn't a single reason to say no.

Not quite sure what you are trying to say?

But...

They have sets so we who enjoy mass PvP can enjoy it more.

It would affect me because devs have a finite time to do their work and if they are wasting time making a tedious clone game to make you happy they will not be making an exciting different game to make me happy.

You can go and play a clone, I cannot.

because dueling is not real pvp. It is just staged combat. It's a way for pve'rs to pretend they pvp and brag endlessly about their skill.
no thx.

VlVEC

Yes

Sure, wouldn't hurt anything. Not in a huge rush to see it added though, maybe an Arena similar to The Grand Arena in Oblivion?

PSLAnimal

Meh.

Brandoid

Yes

no thx.

Meaning you can't kill any good players without a group behind you? Got it.

yes exactly, that is exactly it.

I'm a NB, I use stealth to kill people. No one fights on a level playing field except in duels. Actual combat is never level, often one person will have a tactical or surprise advantage.

That is overlooking the whole "duel me!" demand anytime anyone ever disagrees with you. Which is just dumb.

Auric_ESO

No

I voted no for the following reasons:

1. Your title stated NEED. This is not a NEEDED feature for TESO to be a good MMO. Some people may want it for various reason and some of them I'd probably agree with. But necessary? Nope.

2. The game is NOT balanced around 1v1. Yes the game does have alot of balancing to do before its even close. What I've seen in the past is once dueling is implemented the crying starts about 1v1 balance. My templar cant beat a DK. MY DK cant beat a NB with this build. Blah blah blah. I'd rather avoid all that crying about nerf this nerf that for as long as possible. In my opinion the classes dont really need to be balanced agaisnt each other. There just has to be pros and cons to a particular class and build. Like glass cannon vs tank, to make an extreme example.

3. i'd rather some arena somewhere that it was allowed.....not cluttering up the towns with fights. That's jsut a personal preference.

4. for testing builds its really not neccessary. jsut need crash test dummies on a stick for that.

5. I really hate people that wave thier epeen around. Keep it in your pants and in cyrodil thank you.

Tavore1138

No

It is exciting to see the feather preening exhibited in this topic.

That preening is why dueling has little place in an adult game.

Duels are build vs build, Cyrodiil is player vs player.

Araflin

No

It doesn't "need" one.

It could benefit in some ways for having one but detract in others. So, if you must have one... I'd say put it in an arena so anyone that wants to can go there and do it and not spam invite or involve others that don't.

BugCollector

Yes

Yes! My friends who left the game, left because there still isn't a duelling option.

Aevric

No

No
In every MMO that has dueling, you're subjected to morons spamming duels at you non-stop until you can locate the Block Duels option (if there even is one).
No thanks.

i agree. i wanna test my toon against one single target...not a whole damn castle full of archers lolol

LtCrunch

Yes

When asked about this the devs have said that once the justice system is in place many of the required systems will be in place for a dueling system to happen. So just be patient, we'll get it eventually

Zarman

Yes

http://dulfy.net/2014/07/18/eso-quakecon-the-future-of-eso-panel-notes/

Plan to adding dueling feature?
Paul: Dueling system sound simply but it is not very simple. There are a lot of things to consider. When the Justice system is place, maybe we can get it in place.

babylon

Yes

Yes to test out 1v1 skills. It has to be something we can auto-decline though, I think I'd run around with auto decline ON until I was in the mood to test rotations with a friend, so I didn't get spammed by randoms all the time.

epoling

No

No game NEEDS dueling. It is nice for people that want it if they can do it responsibly and I am glad they have fun with it. However, going with the title of the poll, again, it is not needed. There are a lot of other things that probably should be added before using dev time for this.

DenverRalphy

No

Need? Absolutely not.

Would some players like it? Yeah sure.

Drazhar14

Yes

For everyone saying no, if you don't want to duel, then don't! It's not mandatory. But the more features this game gets, the better. I'd love to duel my friends.

Orchish

Yes

Does it need it? No. Do i want it? Yes.

david271749

Yes

Being able to practice 1v1 with people in my guild without them having to roll alts in other factions would be awesome.

Reiterpallasch

Yes

Keep it out of busy areas (banks, crafting tables, dye stations etc) and I'm all for it.

Except in our restaurant, they just slap the meat down on the tables because we refuse to have plates like those other places.

Kirito144

Yes

no it does not Need to have a duel system, but i feel it should be in there. since most other MMOs have duel systems i think it probably should be added. It would definitely be welcome
