Dear Zenimax, Spears & Duels, Please

Djem

Hello Zenimax. I really like your game. I convinced a whole bunch of people from my WoW RP guild to try it out and they like it aswell. But wouldn't it be even more great and likeable if the game had a spear skill line (just as they were in Morrowind, all of them two-handed weapons, the same skill line would govern both actual spears and halberds) and the ability to duel (just allow two players to be targetable by each other until one reaches low health) with other players?

The former suggestion might be understandably tough to implement, but I am guessing that the latter is easy. Also I don't see any way that these suggestions would result in anything besides improving the game. Add the option to automatically decline all duel offers if some players will feel uncomfortable by it. Thanks.

push... both would be nice. I´m not the duel player, but the spear skill-line would be very great.

Duels in Cyrodill, fine, not anywhere else thanks.

Why is that? How does it make sense for two people to not be able to fight each other in other places?

I'd like to wield a spear with one hand and a shield in the other, though dmg and attack speed etc would vary depending on how you wield it.

No duel. But an Arena ( like in Oblivion ) would be perfect and even that feature alone can draw lots and lots of players if implemented correctly with satisfaying rewards and prestige.

I also think we should be able to get into drunken fist fighting brawls to settle our differences. Other players could bet money on the fights, and it would be a lot of fun! There's a lot of RP opportunities behind this one as well. "How DARE you?! That's not my dog, that's my wife! I demand satisfaction, I challenge you to a duel!"

Because we already have morons spamming AoE spells and other crap in banks, shops and everywhere else and we now also have to suffer Justice, we don't need PVPers doing more of it thanks.

Duels belong in the PVP areas and nowhere else.

Just don't allow duelling inside towns, then. Problem solved.

You don't want simple duelling, but you wish for a whole arena? Baby steps, my friend.

Duels belong wherever people feel like doing them.
PvP has absolutely nothing to do with Duelling.
You can't fight someone from your own faction, and the opposing factions are grouped up so that makes zero sense.
I was always for a duel option, and i don't get how it hasn't been implemented yet.
You can always deny a duel so what's the problem?

Duels are a great idea. Just add "Duel Player" to the player interaction choices... seems easy enough to me. Will anyone against this idea please elaborate on how it would negatively affect your gameplay?

I also love the idea of an Arena for PVP. The AvAvA is very fun and I absolutely do not want to get rid of it in any way. When I have a few hours to play this is usually my goto. But when I have less than an hour to play there is almost no point for me to zone into Cyrodiil.

It would be pretty cool if we could queue up for some 1v1 - 10v10 instant action PVP via an Arena when we dont have the time to be effective in Cyrodiil.

Thoughts?

I agree. It is kind of absurd that people suggest duelling should be allowed only within Cyrodiil. It makes less sense there. Who would brawl with their own allies in the middle of a battlefield?
