I love dueling... but this is why everyone hates duelers.

Okay, so... Trueflame the most populated server. Surely you can find a great place to duel friends, rivals, and randoms the like? I mean we have this huge open map where you can go anywhere. This is especially true if you're using FC's right??

Like this example here:

This is obviously the most logical place to duel! Who cares if a group of players heading between the keeps kills your, friend, rival, random... maybe lover? All you'll have to do is respond as such...

If only I could name and shame.

But seriously. This is why people get so fed up with duelers. You pick awful choices to duel and then get mad and start word bashing the players who are actually there to pvp and not duel. Don't get mad because people see a different faction and go in to kill... especially during well traveled paths. I'm all for dueling and what not, but pick smart locations.

Lol what a place to duel

bloodenragedb14_ESO · May 2016

not a pvp'er or a dueler, and the chat was rather toxic but let me speak up from a outsider looking in

they likely picked that place on the map precisely because it was so close to each keep, there are no wayshrines in cyrodiil, you have some distance to travel when it comes to dueling since the transit system is like it is. im not sure on the etiquette on revives, but even then you get people who come in and steamroll over the duel group.

If you dont like the duelers, whatever, but try to look at something from all sides

What couldn't the yellows afford the AP for a camp? That really is a dopey place to set up duels now we have forward camps back again..

I have nothing against people who duel. I do it myself all the time, however I always choose a more appropriate location than in the middle of a heavily trafficked area by all factions.

No reason to have picked this place, with FC, they could have picked anywhere.

Next time, put them to ignore and zerg them again and again also T-bag their cropse.

So, that they will know not to duel areas that are hotspot for combat.

Duelers should duel in some other campaign, where there is no siege/zerg battles taking place or the population is extremely low in all factions.

I did think about hopping on one of my other faction toons to grief for little bit, buuut had ap goal to make for the day. Though, I do believe his buddy died several times before the camp suddenly disappeared and they were no longer there lol

Good!!
You shouldn't even have any feelings for them because they earned it by their stupidity.

Daveheart · May 2016

That's gotta be one of the worst places I've seen to duel. I mean, I saw some dueling right between Chalman and the gate to Bleakers, but that was on the PTS. Correct me if I'm wrong (as I don't duel), but isn't it best to focus on spots on the outskirts near Brindle, DC, or Drakelow? It would seem best to choose a spot that's not in direct line between heavily contested keeps.

KisoValley · May 2016

On PC EU you get duels outside keeps and outposts all the time lol. The only people who interrupt are the new pvpers (who soon learn to not interrupt) and leaders of certain guilds (who funnily enough can't pvp without at least 23 people backing them. Funny when they get wiped by 5-6 man groups after interrupting but yeah). It's normal. Looks like PC NA is more zerg infested and full of more idiots I guess. I saw a few duels at that very location only last week.

timidobserver · May 2016

That's a great place to duel. The only better place would be right outside of the last emp keep during an emp push.

yeah, i've seen some dumb places as well. like right outside front door of Ash =P

while a lot of players will just move on and let people duel, the newer players or the ones who are on a mission won't and people get mad xD

/facepalm

Definitely the most logical place to duel.... Lol

kevlarto_ESO · May 2016

People can duel all they want, just do it away from the path most traveled, if I top a hill and see red I attack, I don't take the time to watch to see if someone might be dueling, it's a big map plenty of places to duel without a problem.

It is not the common for duels to happen right outside of keeps or on well traveled paths on the most populated campaign there is. There is constantly traffic going through these areas and most people will kill the opposing faction regardless of duels.

I love this map lol, it does actually show the most common dueling areas (at least for PC-NA)

This is like standing in the middle of a high road then blaming the truck driver for crushing you

Morbash · May 2016

All the more reason for ZOS to add a proper dueling system and battlegrounds.

Rylana · May 2016

My favorite battle site is actually the bloodmayne bridge on the drake side of the river. Not convenient for DC to get to, but its just good otherwise, and quiet out of the way.

Do most of my guild testing/dueling/training there.

KenaPKK · May 2016

No serious dueling guild would duel in a place like that, nor would a respectable dueler *** and moan like in the screenshots. Don't associate organized and serious dueling with that mess.

Kena you know me better than that. I'm not talking about duelers who do this daily and do this in more appropriate locations, I'm talking about the randoms like my example above.

I would love to see some sort of dueling system in place, but not at the expense of normal pvp. I think battlegrounds would be great and add more interest in pvp.

Alcast · May 2016

Some people never learn. People that try to duell there deserver to be slaughtered by a zerg

Armitas · May 2016

Lol, it's so true. Or gankers who sit on the highway to a sieged keep and become emotional when a group of players cross their path and kill them even though they have been 3v1ing every solo person that left the keep.

Docmandu · May 2016

Being rude in whispers comes natural for some people it seems. Messages like that usually give me a good laugh, but I can imagine some people don't really care for that.

Still not convinced cross faction chat in Cyrodiil was a good idea. People that like to communicate with buddies cross faction, can use voice comms / external programs or join the same guild and talk in guild chat.
