What's a dualing arena?

On the other hand, some place for people to duel would be nice.

Its a specific place for people to dual that way there isnt a dual always going on in the towns so that it dosnt ruin other peoples gaming experience.

Its been debated here alot, most like 75% wanted it. But problem is that, ESO isnt balanced around 1v1, never will be, and its mass PVP game and when people learn to play the game, they start to whine nerfs/buffs.

I don't know about dualing (that sounds like character cloning that would probably be against TOS), but I have no objection to areas for dueling.

I know it's irrelevant lol but on the trailer I see a dragon knight (death knight lol) and a nightblade (rogue lol) having a 1v1. False advertising ?!!

Dear OP:

dual:
adjective
1.
of, relating to, or noting two.

4.

3.
to fight in a duel.


You're welcome.

As to the topic at hand, yes a duel function has been endlessly begged for since launch. You should be able to duel anywhere except inside buildings. The duel function should, of course, come with an auto-ignore function so that you cannot be spammed with challenges. You either flag yourself for duels or you can turn duels off. By now, this is pretty standard procedure but bears mentioning since ZOS seems to be utterly unaware of many things modern MMO players expect. These duels should only be 1v1.

A dueling ARENA should also be implemented where you can fight anywhere from 1v1 up to teams of 12 v 12. Spectating and betting of in game gold needs to be part of this. Leaderboards should also be a part of it. I don't think gear should be added to it but prizes of in game gold to winners definitely needs to be a thing. I'd love to see characters making a living as gladiators.

Right now? No, they are working on so many other content dlcs right now to worry about arenas. Let's get IC and play that until we start getting tired of it before we start telling them other things we want

I am cool with an area to duel your friends or opposing faction as long as it results in no AP/XP.

Is everybody on these forums an English teacher lol ? Or just wants to be special

Grammar nazis mostly, and I think anyone who has been around these forums can tell most people here are VERY special.

My guess is that people are tired of having hundreds of threads for the same topic, and when the OP can't bother using the built-in spell checker users take the opportunity to flame a bit.

You can't expect anyone to take this thread seriously due to the obvious lack of content.

I have trouble getting past that the game isn't balanced for 1v1. Dueling just adds another layer needing to be balanced, that "Don't like it, Don't use it", doesn't adequately account for. Also I can barely imagine how often people would complain about CP gaps.

One way to stop these threads... Give us friendly duels lol, funnily enough when I bought the game it was the first thing I looked for and was disappointed I couldn't send a duel request, so now I just run around the pvp area doing missions and running into some alliance doing the same thing... We have a 1 on 1 maybe 1 on 2 mostly but I enjoy that side to these types of games more than anything else I mean I remember the good old days in WoW when the other faction would plan there own raid on our main city where we hung out and we'd be happily questing away levelling professions organising 25 man dungeons then boooom! A stampede of alliance would kill everything and we'd be hiding in the auction house then some of our higher level players and myself use to push them back out, the pvp area in eso is somewhat like it is in the whole of World of Warcraft, you could come across alliance anywhere anytime, eso could have more of this in many other areas outside cyrodil then maybe you wouldn't need to have friendly duels added ? P.s please don't go on about my paragraphs lol I ain't wasting lines. simple....

Can u imagine how long duels would last with shield stacking and heals. Perma block

Most duels actually don't last that long on the Live version, I could see it lasting a lot longer after Update 7 though. The only duels that usually last a while are sorc vs. sorc. Though I've had an 11min duel with a templar healer / damage dealer on my Dragonknight once. Most of my duels are between 1-3min long, regardless of who wins.
