How the hell are duelling or arenas not in game??

Valn

Surely the BASELINE for mmo nowadays is to put dueling and arenas in.. Why can't there be a queuing system for 2v2 to 24v 24 arenas or something..where collision detection is on? And duelling is just basic stuff..why weren't they in the game at launch?

Because balancing a game based on such small numbers is a waste of time and does nothing to move a game forward.

Nobody here can answer you as to why dueling is missing.

I can say they'll probably add it in the future, as it doesn't seem to conflict with their apparent design goals, and many people will desire it.

Just be patient.

It will never be added. There are good reasons for it. The rediculousness of WOW and how arenas have become "the one with the most cc wins" and the affect it has on pve. Arenas are a horrible idea. Just horrible. There are so many good reasons, this is the main reason you will hear, and have been spoken, by Zen.

I meant to say that balance issues are the main reason. Don't know if I made that clear or not.

Dunno if they will or not, BUT if they do I hope there is a auto decline function. I have no problem if others want to but I do not want to deal with constant duel requests.

Arenas? no thanks. Duels? Oh yeah..they really need to add that.

And they need to create world pvp. Thats my biggest issue with ESO. I hate running around and not being able to kill and fight others ...

Dont get me wrong, Cyrodiil is awsome...but world pvp has some of the funniest and awsome moments an mmo can have...if done right.

Duels would be nice, arenas, no thank you. However, they could introduce some solo/duo/group based PvE arenas like in Oblivion, with limited attempts and weekly reset. Not quite like raid since this is about surviving as many waves as you can. Mobs should be random too but maybe divided to tiers. If you are among the top, I don't know, hundred a week, you will get the most awesome reward anyone can imagine! An Annoying Fan!

Wouldn't work.

You don't see the other factions ..... ever ..... outside of Cyrodiil.

As it's a "megaserver" and not a PvP based game they couldn't make it open PvP anyway.

On Topic....

If they add duels then they need to add an area to do it. Having people crowded round spanking each other isn't a nice view.

Said it once before, I don't want to see another Goldshire.

And it needs an auto decline.

I PvP in Cyrodiil, I PvE everywhere else, don't want muppets spamming duel requests.

Rubbish! Ofcourse wars go on everywhere in the world.

WoW was mainly a PvE game...look how world pvp shined, where it worked correctly...Stranglethorne, Tarren Mill, etc.

They chose a pvp "cauldron" design only, and I dont like that at all.

You are correct they chose this pvp system so why would they change it to something that would require a redesign of the entire game?

timebandit_b16_ESO

Because i disagree..thats what we have these forums chatting for

AreoHotah

I don't understand those who say duels yes arenas pls no... if you don't like it don't try it. MORE IS BETTER. add MORE MORE MORE

What the hell does that have to do with not seeing another member of an opposite faction outside of Cyrodiil?

You could be flagged for PvP all day long, who the hell are you going to fight?

You don't see any other faction ...... ever.

Not entirely sure if this is on-topic, but I hope they add an Arena guild (like they're planning Thieves/Dark Brotherhood) of some sort.

Not sure if it would be PvE or PvP though, could be both.

1: If people can dual some skill combinations will cry they should be balanced.

im my opinion that is the death of any mmo when they want to balance "classes". It is a teamgame.

Although i admit duelling can me fun also to try out your new build on a build you have difficulty with.

2: Arena's sound fun and i had my share of fun with the ones in WAR. But in the end it drains people of the real battlefield. It happened in WAR because the ARENA was more rewarding. Same in SWTOR (huttball ugh)

mutharex

No, thanks god no! This stuff always brings more problems than anything:balancing issues, kids dueling all day long everywhere. Nah. There is already a game that covers those.... needs. This ain't that

dannymcgr81b14_ESO

Even the developers of wow admitted that arenas were a mistake. Duels would be ok with me if there was an auto decline and I wouldn't have to get 20 invites every time I walked out of a city.

Oo Are you even playing the game and partaking in the community? There ARE outcries for balancing right now due to the major impact of combinations on pvp in cyrodiil.
