Places NOT to Duel

1 on 1 interfaction dueling can be a great time. Pick a spot in the Cyrodiil wilderness, grab 50 of your closest guild friends and Fight Club in the Cyrodiil wilderness all day. I fully support this. Do you know where I don't support this? On the Imperial City Arena front doorstep in a population locked server! I guested into Haderus last night and couldn't do anything but trade spawn camps with DC because 50 DC and AD decided that the most popular PVP area in the entire game was a good place to sing Koombyya with Ed Norton and Brad Pitt. I do not regret bat swarming any of you, and wish I had aggroed Immolator Char into your group earlier.

TLDR: Don't start a dueling party on the IC Arena steps in a population locked server.

    Definitely don't duel in a public restroom or in front of Olive Garden.

    ......Oh, you mean ingame,huh? Ignore the upper part, then.

    The large plain south/southwest of IC seems like a good place(Southern Woodlands area)

    Any area where you're in a large field away from the keeps, grind spots or well known loot locations is a great place for it. Basically 80% of Cyrodiil.

    Kingscrest Cavern NPC are easy to kill it's a big area and near impossible to get ganked with the lack of hidden spots. Plus it's a PvE cave well the are all PvE but no one goes in there.

    Except that, starting today, it is the new popular place to just peek in on to see if anything is going on.

    I feel bad for the poor ganker or gankers that try to gank people with a dual build set up running in a cave with one door.

    Actually this is the most fitting place for duels. Why didn't I have this idea after so many fights I did there in Oblivion. But from now on I'll go there for duels.

    Battle leveling for pve content defeats the idea of progression. Remove CP

    When COH held a dueling event we found the milegate between Kingscrest and Dragonclaw to be a nice spot.

    We even joked that the western side of it reminded us of an old obstacle course even known as The Assault for American Gladiators. The other side has areas to view from, some open areas, and even a few obstacles to make positional awareness of some value.

    Telel's personal experience with worst dueling spot is...pretty much anywhere this one may go through on their way to defend a keep. Were khajiit not so sorry for murdering random vagrants they'd find it amusing at the number of times they and their pack have mistaken a group of 'duelists' for potential siegers and murdered all of them.

    Incidentally don't duel on a pop locked server. Especially if you are on Telel's side...trust this one.

    Honestly, I love PvP. Every aspect. Even when its unfair. Though, the random Duels that I've been apart of have been some of the best fun I've ever had when in Cyro. I would fully support an Arena system. Where people load into Cyro and can travel to an Arena and sign up to fight 1v1. When it's there turn to fight, they would be ported or loaded into the ring and fight their opponent. .

    This worked very well, although I think we were lucky with the people who were trolling around in Cyrodiil at the time. For as long as our guys were goofing off there, I'm surprised we didn't have the emperor group make a showing.

    There's a lake between Kingscrest and Farragut that also works well.

    I once saw two people dueling right next to a keep that was being sieged. (AD keep, EP siege) one was AD and the other EP... they got pissed when the EP player got steam rolled... um... pick a better spot?? Maybe not two feet away from a keep under siege?? lol.

    I have to agree with the Khajiit, do not duel on a poplocked server.

    Incidentally, being near a keep that is about to be sieged is not a good idea either. Nor is being on the road.

    If you have to duel, try to be in an out of the way place.

    Keep in mind, that if a group comes by, they might not realize that it is a duel.

    Kill 100 Players does not = Duel 100 Players.

    Haha, exactly. I have 2000 career PVP kills. Like 3 of them were in duels. You can get 100 kills in the arena area in a weekend ... if, ya know ... you weren't occupying the most contested area in all of Tamriel for dueling space.
