How hard would it be to have a duelling arena?

idk · March 2016

It doesn't matter how hard it would be to have a dueling area (though I find it boring to duel regularly).

The only thing that matters here is if and when Zos wants to add this. If they do not want to add it it will not happen. Certainly much more interesting content should have priority.

Purely IMO; Arenas and Battlegrounds are cancer in modern MMO's.

If anyone thinks the crying over class balance and skill balance is bad on the Forums now, wait until Arenas and Battlegrounds are added. The whining will multiply by several magnitudes.

Also IMO; Battlegrounds and Arenas should be restricted to MOBA's. That's what those games are designed for.

But the queue times for Arenas/Battlegrounds will be fine when initially released, but the actual number of people who will stick with it is very small. The people calling for them are such a small segment of the games populace... its a niche within a niche.

While Zeni is definitely "working on it" to get them in the game (which is a mistake in my eyes), they will be all but dead in a short amount of time after release.

But the crying... the flow of bitter tears about balance will be legendary, even in Hell.

Just be prepared for the consequences of what you're all asking for.

I think it would be one of the most used and interesting features in the game if done in a way that is as easy as it was in Borderlands. (Just a slap on your buddy and let the duel commence in a ring spawned up where you stand). It would just be a feature that lets people test their builds against friends. My idea isnt so much concerned with rankings and map designs or anything overly complex. Just the ability to duel with friends easily to train up and help improve builds.
