Please disable dueling in cities and around wayshrines

Eshelmen✭✭✭✭✭PS4 first version here. I don't see the lag one bit.
Performance is far better now adays with dueling all around than before it was even in the game.

Terror✭✭✭ZOS needs to do something to actually incentivizes people dueling in other locations like Hammerdeath Arena. Until there's a way for duelers to find sparring partners without needing to go to cities, it's not really fair to force them out of the only places they can find people.
This isn't really true... they will simply gather at the city limits. (See WoW for reference.)0 -
Shadow_Viper_vX✭✭✭✭✭It's hugely annoying and I'm with you Op. I agree guards should attack the winning dualist after the kill. Or just block it entirely in towns.
Places like Craglorm during this event are lagging anyways with everyone doing Writs and suddenly people are dualing there too.
Nice one guys. Nice one. Walk like 200 metres and it wouldn't be so bad..

Skjoldur✭✭✭Since it has become normal to fight right next to traders, merchants and wayshrines, I would also go for a roleplay specific solution: Duelling should be considered "Disturbing the peace" within city limits and should be tied into the Justice system.Edited by Skjoldur on April 17, 2017 9:09AM1

Shadow_Viper_vX✭✭✭✭✭I'm honestly surprised that wasn't implemented with dueling, as part of the Justice System0

✭Go a step further and disable ALL abilities and dueling within the city limits. No more spell spammers, lagging, and crashes in cities. Problem solved. Want to duel? Go someplace else.“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”4 -
Shadow_Viper_vX✭✭✭✭✭Would be a great suggestion aside from the fact that there are Quests that require combat in some cities.0
-
Shadow_Viper_vX✭✭✭✭✭Perhaps only allow abilities to be used when on certain quests with said quest selected as active quest.
Would also fix the spelling spamming lag trolling issue.0 -

Exactly this! It's not so easy to find dueling partners these days. When dueling was first added there were at least some people at Hammerdeath Arena in Stormhaven 24/7 but these days it's usually empty on PC NA.
Would be nice if some sort of dueling option checkbox were added to the group finder. You could be quickly paired up with anyone else who wants to duel, anywhere in the world.Edited by IcyDeadPeople on April 27, 2017 7:40AM0 -

✭Not nessesairly disabling it but every single duel inside city perimeters (the area considered to be a safe zone - can log out instantly) should be counted as criminal act and dueling people should be stopped by city guards to pay fine.0 -
Dracindo✭✭✭✭✭Duels in a city? Never had lag, not even on my craptop. Try lowering your settings.
Duels should be possible inside a city, BUT (as @MaximusDargus said), I wouldn't mind it if the guards would step in to stop the duel, and fine them for it. After all, from an immersive perspective, lots of innocent by-stander NPC's could get hurt inside that storm of magic and steel.0 -
Shadow_Viper_vX✭✭✭✭✭This issue only contributes to the lag problem being more frequently experienced.0

They could send them to their own instance for the duel...
or me.
Oh yes let's add yet another load screen, actually 2 load screens one for entering and one for leaving.
I actually don't see all this dueling people talk about. I definitely don't get extreme lag from it.
Agreed where are all these duels? Especially the supposed duels on crafting stations? Never seen a single duel at or on the crafting stations. Nor in the bank. Much ado about nothing
I've seen them at the bank in Davon's Watch.0 -

✭I agree.. one of the more annoying things in the game. Need to be restricted to certain area.0 -

✭Just a question:
How can people duelling in a city be any more disturbing and annoying than people randomly spamming skills left and right at a merchant/inside a bank?
Might as well prevent any skills to be cast within the city-perimeter then.Ignorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny.

Back in the days (2014) people using/spamming skills in busy city places like banks received warnings for uncivil behaviour.
Duelling and skill spamming are equally annoying. However, duelling lasts longer, is much more skill-intensive, and duellers tend to run/dodge-roll all over the place too. In the end, duelling is a far greater annoyance. Also, duellers don't seem to be happy enough with taking up everyone's visual and sound space. They also need to pollute /zone and /say chatboxes by commenting their own fights.
The "look at me I'm duelling" attitude is still very strong.
Special mention goes to people duelling in the Elden Root tree in Grahtwood. It's not near a wayshrine. It's not near the Undaunted hub. They could also duel in the throne room upstairs. Or in the fighter's guild room. Or in the mages' guild room. But, no. They HAVE to do it all day long in the main area, with the crafting stations and the bankers. The only explanation is that they enjoy being such a strong annoyance. Else, why do they do it there ?

Shadow_Viper_vX✭✭✭✭✭Exactly, some people do it just to be toxic and annoying, to purposely have a negative impact on someone's else enjoyment of the game.1
