We should have 1vs1 dueling but...

bedlom · October 2015

I think it should be in an arena similar to the one in oblivion but one in each of the factions capital city. Wayrest, elden root etc, all themed to that zone.

I think a system where we can duel anytime anywhere would be a horrible way to do it, cities would be horrible places to be.

Maybe these posts will stop when ZOS actuallt does something that people want. WE WANT DUELS AND ARENA PVP. Cyrodiil is old news.

MrGrimey · October 2015

I don't see a problem with dueling anywhere but near guards. It would actually be pretty cool and immersive if they allowed dueling in cities, but if a guard sees you, they break up the duel

Speak for yourself. YOU want Duels and Arena PVP.

I don't care either way. I can enjoy the game with or without Duels. I don't see the point in them, other than epeen stroking.

Arena Group vs Group PVP could be interesting. but not interesting enough to make a big deal out of.

i think 1v1 arena is a good idea but in reality you can just ask somebody if you want a 1v1 and meet the somewhere in cyrodil

^ The real answer has been told

RAGUNAnoOne · October 2015

I would love this but it looks like a pain if everyone is in the same area.If I could design this I would make a group instanced area which every player is allowed to attack each other. plus with the upcoming cross faction grouping you can use this to duel players from other alliances without the danger of being interrupted.

What makes you think ZOS will invest resources on something like a dueling arena when they don't even invest resources into additions to their existing PvP area called Cyrodiil?

If ZOS adds arenas (I mean real ones, not dueling nonsense) and/or battlegrounds they will most likely add some unique rewards to it (gear), leading to a more and more dried out Cyrodiil as Cyrodiil PvP has literally no rewards after the IC DLC disappointment up.

I am here for open world battles, not 4v4 or 2v2 skirmishes I had for years in WoW or GW2. I am happy ESO is a game providing large scale PvP in a huge environment with all its dynamic which I missed since Dark Age of Camelot in every other MMO. That's the reason I play ESO.

If they add a dueling system without arenas, rewards etc. I am fine with it. But I hope they will never add structured/limited PvP in any form at all and that's only my personal opinion.

Deheart · October 2015

I was going to say why not but @Legedric had some good points.

Also, Legedric's post made me think of the fact that they are already adding new content, that controller support is only now coming beginning of November (that was promised at beta), that I have no Idea if the planned spellcrafating and bounty pvp thieving system (whatever the real name is) has been dropped or not. And all the other features, fixes and upgrades that were promised that I don't remember have not happened yet.

...and what do you think Imperial City is, huh?

The point is, yes, the additions may come slow, and seemingly slower since they switch the types (IC - PvP, Orsinium - SPvE, Murkmire GPvE...), -AND- they had put everything they promised at launch on hold to work on the console release...
But now that the console release is done, they are adding the things we have been hearing about in the "road ahead" last year. And once they get through that, there are more things in development too. And by the time those are ready for release, there will be more things under construction as well.
Don't expect too many additions to existing areas though, look to the empty spots on the world map instead...

As for duels... people have been asking for this since launch.

Personally I hate duelling, but... having the option would benefit the game (as long as I can decline any duel request I do not want for roleplaying reasons...). I would love to see a duelling option everywhere, and I would love the justice system slapping down anyone who tries to duel within guarded city limits (much like the cardinals guard always interferes in the musketeers duels...

)

And I would also like to see an completely optional duelling arena somewhere (maybe not in the existing regions, but... if they make the colovian highlands, I dimly recall Kvatch being famous for an arena, that would be a really good place to put one...), where the people overly proud of their big PvPness can compete against each other, same faction or enemies, no matter, for gold and glory...

Implementing duelling would mean to neglect the important stuff. Improving performance, bugfixing, new content etc.

Duelling would show the total imbalance between the classes. No thx.

You'll excuse me here, but you sound like a dude who's like "Hey, don't put it, they'll notice my class is OP plz don't nerf LOL". Didn't know knowing the balance issues between classes was a bad thing...

You have multiple teams, multiple subjects, I'm pretty sure there are teams dedicated to adding new feature, and teams dedicated to improving existing content, so no, it would no neglect everything else... How are duelling arenas not content btw?

Soulshine · October 2015

Honestly, why anybody is against this idea is really very bizzare to me. I personally would not engage in it to be clear, but see no reason why I would insist on making sure the game was preventing others from doing it.

As an example, in LotrO you are able to "spar" with anyone in the game anywhere (not just PvP zones) at any time so long as you and the person you want to fight flag yourselves available for it (there is a setting in options which you need to have ticked). People often do this near all kinds of public places and sometimes it draws a crowd, sometimes they just get ignored. Occasionally ppl can do this in a vault area and make a whole lot of noise people don't like, but it is all over with anyway so fast no one really has much of an issue with it in the end. MOstly, it just seems lots of people have fun from it and enjoy learning something from their encounters.

But then again, they also have training dummies in that game so.... *sigh*

Sausage · October 2015

Less players know, the better, thats what Ive said, I watched 2 year in Rift when they tried to balance their game and new balance patch came and no-one was happy maybe one guy who was promoting the idea in the forums etc, shortly said it just turns forums into battle-ground. IMHO, they should just remove all class/skill changes from patch notes.

I think the "organized duelling" in Cyrodiil is not enough for them for at least three reasons :

- Duelling in Cyrodiil always has the risk of someone or some zerg turning up and attacking and ruining the 1v1 fight ;
- You cannot duel with players in your own faction
- PvP players are competitive. They want rewards, scoreboards and glory. At the moment winning a duel brings nothing and not more AP than killing any noob in Cyro. Just like any high level sportler doesn't train to beat his buddies, he trains for official worldwide competitions where there are ranking and medals and the results are being tracked.

With all respect @TheShadowScout... IC was/is a PvE DLC with PvP enabled in it to gank PvE players without any benefit for PvP.

IC brought NOTHING for PvP, no new rewards and not a single PvP objective inside the IC itself or Cyrodiil.

IC is only a huge PvE grind for trophies, crafting materials, stones, new dungeons and old undaunted sets at VR16. PvP got literally not a single addition there, not even a reward for doing PvP at all.

If anything, IC made PvP even worse as AP are totally useless now and the rewards you get from Worthy bags or at the end of campaign are an entire waste as the good stuff wasn't upgraded to VR16.

That's why I keep saying ZOS did not add anything useful to PvP since launch up until now! (No, coldfire siege weponry doesn't count)
So what makes you think they will invest resources for something completely new like battlegrounds or arenas instead while the list of player demands for Cyrodiil already exceeds multiple pages for more than one and a half years now?

As I said, dueling anywhere at any time?
Ok, do it, can't be that hard.

Dueling in arenas or arenas and battlegrounds in general?
Please ZOS, do not waste your resources on it! Improve Cyrodiil instead, tehre are plenty of requests and constructive porposals around to inspire you...

Many would also like the ability to 1v1 against someone from the same faction. Our guild helps newer players learn to fight solo so they don't need to rely on zergs, especially if they get caught riding from A to B. Unfortunately a lot of them aren't confident enough to initiate a duel with someone from a different faction, so if they'd feel more comfortable duelling someone from their guild I'm all for it.

It's ok mate. Not everyone is confident with their skills or good at PvP. You don't have to hide behind your tears of anger. We're here for you.

Birdovic · October 2015

I don't really care about duels actually.
But I'm concerned Cyrodiil PvP will be over as soon as Duels/arenas are introduced.
I prefer a fixed, stable Cyrodiil experience.

Nah I wouldn't worry too much. In my campaign people generally do 1 or 2 rounds then go back to war. PvP always comes first - duels are just there when things are quiet.

Cinbri · October 2015

Why you still asking about Arena? Isn't it obvious yet that ZOS promoting only zergs, zergers and everything related to it?

AhPook_Is_Here · October 2015

I think it would be cool to have an area like the arenas in AO, just a FFA area where you can duel or maybe get ganked while dueling, or maybe get zerged while ganking. It could be "anything happens day" in the FFA zone.
