Dueling... but there's something you need first!

Slap me about the face with the Trout of Combat and I will accede to your attempt to better me in personal combat!"


Yup, I'm proposing if you want to duel someone you have to acquire a particular fish first in order to do it!

Makes for a valuable commodity that players would want, increases need for people to fish, stops duels being spammed constantly.

    Auto decline option works, they should just make fishing better in general.

    Good idea. It could also be a proper hand slap. Any kind of insult would do as long as the player would feel forced to defend their honor in duel.

    I expect Argonians would just erect their spine of contempt, and poke someone with it, perhaps where the sun doesn't shine, in order to challenge them.

    you see, @Kos has the right idea.. a duelling slap with a glove, maybe throw a gauntlet at someone's feet, or swing the "Trout of Combat".

    The initial post was meant as a talking point and discussion... with valid arguments, reasons, and alternatives. I may have taken the idea a little far, maybe, but why not introduce an item you need to have in order to initiate a player vs. player duel?

    I'd be more interested in having an item or something be required to participate in a 1v1 arena like in Oblivion. Dueling should be for practice, if people don't want to duel give them an option to auto decline.

    I understand your point @moxiesauce, but "Auto Decline" does cause traffic, no matter how miniscule. I believe they are proposing some form of arena - and on a personal note that's the best place for duels to take place - not in the middle of low level towns, PvP zones, or finding hideaways in the landscape that allow them.

    The option to challenge someone to a duel, however, should be allowed in a town. I know this will mostly appeal to Rp'ers but I'd just like to see some effort into offering a duel rather than the usual, just hit a button.

    If you want to duel for it's own sake.. go hang out in the arena "bar / courtyard".. if you want to challenge someone in particular.. go slap them with a fish / throw your gauntlet! :)

    On the arena issue.. I also think you should have an option to make it a public or private arena.

    Maybe spectators could pay a nominal gold fee for a seat to watch. Fellow guild members would potentially get a discount.

    Private arenas are paid for by one, both, or all parties involved simply for the guards wages who keep the public out :)

    p.s. Chariot races anyone?

    No dueling, soon you have a Goldshire and I do not mean the one in Moonglade. Chaos reigns and people drive you nuts with challenges. Or the area outside the gates of Org which is equally as bad.

    I did mention it as a "Commodity". If you had thought it through, that would mean having to buy if you did not fish / craft the said item. No fishing involved if you don't want to.

    Not watched them for years. However, I have watched them a lot in the past! :)
    I think it's just how my brain works naturally. :smiley:
