    Theres already dota or lol, not to mention true dueling game called Mortal Kombat X, it isnt getting better than that, perfectly balanced, jumping, blocking, special moves to practice, fatalities, keep right distance etc. In ESO's kind of game dueling just leads to nerf/whine posts, so less players know, the better. I'd like to add I watched how they tried to balance Rift like couple year, every month when new balance patch came, there was always like thousand things wrong with it.

    While I yearn for ranked pvp, I'm afraid this here is the reason we'll never get it ;(

    Actually OP, I'm surprised your "friend" went back to WoW... Due to its arena, the game/classes/pvp are hilariously unbalanced.

    Still they could add duels. I agree. And a place where to fight face to face in a more friendly way. But let's not do it the WOW-way, please.

    this.

    The lack of arenas and dueling does suck. It's terrible. Cyrodiil sucks with the zerging. Frame rate lags, server lags it's just terrible. I was really thinking about blowing the dust off of my WOW account just for arena pvp. I HATE huge scale.

    "Friend went back to WoW cause of"

    Let's stop right there.

    This is not WoW.

    Some people prefer WoW, and that is their prerogative. Some of them will leave other MMOs because they are not like WoW. That is also their prerogative. It does not mean that there is a requirement for every other MMO to be like WoW.

    I think they should put together an arena like they had back in Oblivion. Maybe have a mixed faction instanced setup, then maybe some same faction corals in Cyrodiil in your faction's untouchable home keeps.

    It would definitely add to the longevity of this game considering as some have said in prior posts, it has been asked for since prior to launch. Like... back when we could still swim underwater given the known risk of falling through world (which btw still happens randomly on solid ground)

    mmos that fail at open world pvp always fall back on arenas, mainly because its a 2 faction game and you can never ever balance pvp with only 2 factions. Cyro is actually pretty decent, game breaking exploites aside and there is 0 reason to fall back on an arena splitting the pvp community

    They actually do have an arena in ESO that is like they had back in Oblivion. I think the only thing missing is the Adoring Fan. This is not what people want out of an MMO.

    So..... ZOS you gonna add a arena now or you need more players to leave because of no arena to add arena...... Cause 99% of the community wants a arena ZOS and if truely do listen to us you should add arena or is that a bunch of nonsense and you actually only listen to those 4 or 5 streamers who DO NOT speak for me or most of the community.

    When I see statistics like that, I tend to reverse them. 99% of the time, it is more accurate that way. :smile:

    I understand why people moan about content that doesn't work, or was promised. Others read what the content is, buy the game, then ditch it because it doesn't contain the content they wanted, or that was never even listed. Fair enough if your opinion is that your friend wished dueling was in the game.
    If he left the game because it didn't have it then why did he waist his money in the first place? Or did he just assume what the content of the game was, then got disappointed?
    Dueling is never once mentioned in the game description, so why is he so upset?

    Arena's might clear up the confustion over pvp vs the alliance war. People wanting 1v1 or 5v5 get their wish, leaving alliance vs alliance to larger warring groups. Gw2 did this well. World vs world plus a separate pvp, although it was not enough for all players, as some wanted world vs world to be a pvp arena too.

    There is dueling. Sorry your friend is too unmotivated to join a dueling guild. Sounds like WoW would be a good option for him though for those things.

    ESO PvP is basically about zerging, blobbing, and CPs now.
    Disabling the grass may improve performance.

    When will these finally be added to the game. Please, I want my friend back in the game :(



    Serious question...did your friend also go back to Outback Steakhouse when he walked into McDonalds hoping to order a T-Bone Steak? When did anyone from ZOS advertise this game as having Bgs/arena/ and dueling?

    Let me reiterate I quit WoW after playing 10 years and having 3 accounts, 2 of which had a character over 2300 in ranked PvP and 2200 in Arena. You have to play a very specific cookie cutter character and build to achieve those things. I stopped playing WoW and focused on ESO 100% of my time. Never once have I looked back. Defend it all you want, that game is completely geared towards the lemming demographic of MMO players.

    Out of all the problems, that is one of the silliest reasons to leave a game I have ever heard (no offence to your stupid friend). You can whisper someone from another faction and see if they want to duel any where in Cyrodiil. It's nothing official, but you can still fight someone 1v1 if you want to. There are some players from different factions who are dedicated duelers and meet up just to do this. Sometimes you need to get creative to find solutions if a game doesn't offer something you want. Or you can be a big baby and leave.

    uhhh... its not the same thing... maybe there are ppl who feel the need to have a more competitive environment, with leaderboards and what not... just because you don't understand other people's reasons, doesn't enable you to start calling them stupid... if anything, it only shows your poor lack of judgement and foresight.

    Agreed.

    The game really isnt balanced around 1v1 and 4v4. The introduction of Arenas for that would destroy Cyrodiil PvP even more.

    I PvP a bit myself. So whenever I hear or see someone complaining about 'zerging' and how we need an Arena. All I can think of is how that person wants a Flavor of the Month Meta where they can take advantage of the current OP abilities and classes. Because thats what 1v1 and 4v4 brings to games. Cyrodiil is not perfect. And ZOS seems to be quite heavy with the nerfhammer all too often. But Cyrodiil is a battlefield. Not school yard fight. If you cant handle players working together than go get your own friends and bring them back to counter with. Tired of the complaints about a game design that everyone walked into knowing **** well what it was.

    I was against the idea of WoW and moba style Arenas when people took polls and idea swapping during beta. I'm still against it as there are games that already have it. And what it always turns them into is a game stuck around gear, and getting points in matches. Aka...e-sports. Leave the games that have e-sports be e-sports like WoW since the edition of e-sports ruined it. And leave the ones that are not redesigned around an e-sport be as they are.
