ZOS NEEDS TO ADD DUELING!

KingYogi415

Yes arena's are coming, so is spellcrafting and the justice system soonTM.

From reading every announcement, patch notes and what I could stand of ESO live; I never saw anything about regular dueling.

I could have missed it but their was no word from ZOS on being able to do a simple duel.

I think it would be a easy way for ZOS to keep customers happy.

Maybe we can get an answer here!

We want the option to ask people to a duel.

No rewards, no punishment. Duel is over at 1HP. No damage to gear.

I think every major city should have small dueling areas.

At least one in Abah's Landing.

Would be a great place to hang out and spectate or try your skills.

I am sure reward structure is the hardest part of implementing a new system.

I would be happy with a 1v1 2v2 and 3v3 just for bragging rights and fun to hold people over until the real arena comes.

Cheers!

Please don't tell me to duel in Crydoiil because I Have no interest in planning a friendly meet on the battlefield.

Edit: From this poll we can clearly see a majority of the community is in favor of a basic dueling feature!

Lets make it happen!

It is a nice idea, for whoever is into this kind of thing, but probably a no for me. It would hurt (whatever is left) of my self esteem, because I sux.



(on a side note, wouldnt that be a bit of a mess? if it has to be in a particular area, oh boy imagine the lag)

Inarre

If someone gets marked with dot and duel ends at 1hp...rip.

I DIDN'T READ ANYTHING BUT THE TITLE.

I AGREE!

It can be implied that ZOS has a very small team. With the signs of lack of effort, the reports of layoffs, the "no ETA" and "long term plan" replies, and so on gives it away. Because of this, they have a strict timeline that they follow. Chances are they'll never stray away from that timeline, so I'd get used to slow development. Dueling is, of course, being added and they've said it's being 'developed'. As they say, "Soon™."

I am fine with the lack of a dueling feature.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALREADY.....

THEY SAID THEY ARE WORKING ON IT!!!

Sounds like spectating might make you better.

And no more lag than normal because the servers are always split into "fragments"

It's pvp were the lag is because everyone is on the same server.

No they did not. They are working on a arena that could takes a year or more to implement. Just like they are working on spell crafting and the justice system.

What i'm asking for is a basic feature that would not tie into any sort of progression!

I'm ok without it. Am I against it? No. Just fine the way it is for my interest

More like go back to WOW, which i'm doing until console gets text chat.

I think a couple arenas in each faction would be great. A smaller one for 1v1 matches and a larger colliseum for team battles. They could hold guild tournaments a few times a year. Monthly 2v2 and 4v4 tournaments. Current champions of the faction would have their names hung on banners around the arena. There could be betting windows. It would be amazing!

the IC Arena district has an achievement for killing enemy players in the arena... go there? or go duel anywhere on any pvp map. whats stopping ya?

dday3six

I want a dueling system. However, I think PVE and PVP should be completely different game modes so they can be developed and balanced independently of one another before a dueling arena can successfully be implemented.

An actual game mode is what they are "working" on and it will take forever to implament.

I'm talking about a basic causal dueling feature with no structure or rewards.

Would be so easy for them to add a duel option over someones heads.

maybe make it so you could only duel in the woods for lag reason and nothing else for ZOS to design.

Guilds would have a field day holding tournaments.

Even without rewards players would complain, often en masse about imbalance whether real or imagined. That is my issue. I like both PVE and PVP. However PVE continually suffers nerfs for the sake of balancing PVP. I think adding a supported duel feature would only make that worse.

WalkingLegacy

I could have sworn they said they were working on dueling.

It's coming *20SOON*

Should have been in at launch though.

Toxic_Hemlock

I am fine with the lack of a dueling feature.

If it was confined to a certain area, fine. But more times than not games that have this implemented give grievers a free hand to annoy and pester those that don't "flag up". So I am fine without it, but to those that really want this feature it would not bother me if they added arenas to the cities that I would never bother visiting anyways.

SO,MAKING THE TITLE ALL IN CAPS MEANS YOUR OPINION IS IMPORTANT...

I know they're working on structured arena gameplay, and that is great. But it also sounds like it will be quite a while before they can implement it. I would, in the meantime, absolutely love just a simple option to duel another player. Honestly, it is almost hard to believe they haven't implemented something like this yet. Again, it doesn't have to be anything special, there don't need to be any rewards, just a simple way to duel your friends.

They could always just cleanse each character when the duel ends.

Having to run all the way back to the duel spot every time somebody dies, being killed by other players who don't know (or care) that you're dueling. People who literally go out of their way to try to interrupt duels. Not being able to duel members of the same alliance. This doesn't really stop anybody though, people who want to duel will still go to Cyrodiil and duel, but right now is it very inconvenient to do so.

On the other end, I'd like to know why you seem to be against the option to duel other players. How would it impact your gameplay? I've yet to see a reason why this would be harmful to anybody, so if you can incorporate a feature that benefits some players and does not effect others, I see no reason not to do it.

True, but people already complain about imbalance, whether real or imagined. I think people will complain absolutely no matter what happens, so I don't think implementing duels would really impact that.

As long as I can set a "leave me the hell alone" mode then I am fine with this.

Sausage

Less information, less whining, thats why I dont want to see it.

Honestly I find it so bizarre that a game with MULTIPLAYER in the name of the genre doesn't allow people playing together to fight each other at all.

Like how was that not part of the original game itself? Boggles the mind really

And to the people voting against dueling being a feature, you should be some sort of scientists lol you think in a very very unique way

Would love to duel and have some sort of stakes like betting money that you will win vs someone. Easy way to make cash and fun. They could implement s old sink by charging to duel or taking a percent of bet money

Anything you are talking about is going to take time to develop. They just cant flip a switch, add a few lines of code and bam, dueling. So no, it would not be easy to implement.

If you actually researched the literally 100s of pages posted about the topic, you would find that lots of people (at least as many that do want it) dont want the system you are talking about (open world pvp even if a toggle is implemented). The topic has literally been beaten to death.

What you are talking about is not going to happen, but they are doing arenas. You are just going to have to be patient and wait for them to finish it. Until then you can duel in Cyro. Lots of people hold dueling contests in Cyro now.

Katahdin

I am fine with the lack of a dueling feature.

For the record, I voted no for the system as proposed (open world, anywhere dueling).
Separate arenas such as what is being worked on is perfectly acceptable.

This game does have a feature where people can fight each other, its called Cyrodil.

Just because YOU think dueling is great and should be in the game from the beginning does not mean others have to think the same way. There are plenty of people that don't like dueling and don't want to see it in game in any form whatsoever. It is not unique, in fact it is very common according to this poll and the other 100+ threads posted.

Also there is a game that either just finished or is in beta that will be pretty much all open world PvP with little to now PvE.

So what you can just have an option where you do not want to be asked to duels. Why does this kind (open world duels) of thing hurt you unskilled pvers so much?

Bah! Duelling, nothing but comparing what you don't have anyway...
And then you get the But-I-Want-To's who send you tells and claim you're a coward if you don't want to duel...
Too many mannerless people in the game already.
Go Cyrodiil and duel your heart out.
