    Here's a fantastic idea for dueling: use the dueling option available anywhere except Cyro.

    By letting my allies get 1v1ed or 1vXed they purify our armies of unworthy weaklings. Only the strong shall live. The weak will atleast have a worthy death and will be judged by the gods.

    Let me roleplay or i´ll report you for harassment. You approach is destroying my immersion. :tongue:

    To the people saying "go duel outside Cyrodiil": keep in mind that these duels always involve CPs.

    For people who PvE a lot (and thus have to keep a PvE allocation of CPs), dueling in a CP environment isn't always an option.

    Then Duel far from any Area that is known to have activity within its borders. Some people duel right outside of keeps and outposts, or resources, its stupid. Go to some place away from the keeps and away from any known path taken between them to minimize risk of interruptions.

    Exactly! For some odd reason, in a game that is designed around large-scale battles - there are people who seem to think large scale combat is bad and people who take part in it are terrible players and awful people..

    I'll be the first to say that I love large-scale combat - whatever people want to call it.

    The people aren't awful but they usually are terrible at the game.

    PS The game was supposed to support ALL play styles not just "large scale battles".

    But for some reason "small scale" and Duelers are always so smug and feel superior to those that prefer large scale and use zerging as a derogatory term. You say the game supports all types of playing but hate on the most common one of them all.

    Well... large scale combat is not the same as zerging. I'm all for a massive keep siege/defense so long as both teams are on even footing. But too often these days it's one or another faction essentially pvdooring.

    That´s usually explainable in the general approach to the game.

    As mainly a solo player i don´t take issue in zerging nor do i claim to never be part of that. I think zerging is good for the game and can be fun.

    Eso has however another form of zerging than other games i´ve played (where zergs would generally aim to take objectives or fight other large armies).
    In eso you find people that specifically aim to fight outnumbered opponents (maybe because soloing was so common previous patches - now it isn´t anymore due to game changes and the type of player i mentioned).

    I think people are right to be smug and feel superior to those kind of people. Players that not only put their own fun at a higher importance than that of their ingame peers (which would be/is somewhat understandable) - those people find it fun to make the game less fun for others.
    Making the game purposefully less fun for other players is something i´ve only ever encountered in eso (on a scale to be relevant as in not only a handful of trolls) - after playing mmos for more than 16 years.

    Edit: Take as an example aidee @Biro123 here on the forums. He´s playing solo but most of the time i see him zergsurfing or defending/taking objectives.
    I´ve basically never encountered him playing my EP sorc from rank 0 to 39 unless i poked the hornets nest. I have absolutely no issue with his approach to killing/adding what he encounters because he´s not one of those players that are looking to kill someone already engaged in fights open field or chases you into the sunset.
    If i get my ass handed to me near a keep it´s my fault.
    If i get my ass handed to me because literally 15 people chase me on horseback from nickel (being my own keep) to brindle farm and then teabag me and camp my corpse - well that´s the kind of zerging i have issues with.

    You think? I always designate a zerg as a group that overpowers another play/group by such a significant amount that counterplay becomes non existent. Of course there are some elite streamers that defy those odds. But two big groups of relatively even numbers carrying out a siege/defense in a coordinated and skilled manner is not a zerg to me. What will turn one of those groups into a zerg is say running a ton of destro ultis, cost poisons and cc spam to effectively run the keep down being carried by abilities rather than skill. I've had some epic siege battles that lasted between 30 to an hour and it never felt "zergy."

    If you're in my way and not on my team I'm going to attack you.

    I'm not going to spend all day trying to ruin someone's day, but if I'm on my way to point B from point A and you happen to be in my way you're getting attacked.

    I don't care if you're dueling, 1vXing, fishing, a level 10 or a CP660. You're getting an ice comet and a Jesus beam.

    Get your hands off MY hornets!!

    But yeah, I was always one trying to convince people to actually leave Chal alone and take Ash instead. - so was usually found fighting AD. Now? Queues are too busy primetime (I don't usually come on till later in that primetime-time) - so I don't really get on till it starts getting quiet, but as DC are dominating now at that time there aren't any decent fights....

    Said I wasn't gonna start a new toon - but just rolled EP - lol. Will probably get bored before its levelled though :-D

    This is the most baffling thing. If you see a member of your faction 1v1 against a member of another faction, why do you run in with your group of ten and zerg them down?

    1) It proves nothing. It doesn't prove the person you killed got "rekt" or sucks, it doesn't prove you and the 5+ people with you are good.
    2) Those two people aren't going to change the course of the battle so just leave them alone, why bother? You're not getting any exp or ap really.
    3) Maybe they wanted to test their skill 1v1 and no they don't want to leave Cyro, 1v1 battles should be a part of war. And honestly, if it looks like a good fight chances are the person on your team doesn't want your "help," because they prob would have been fine without you. Honestly they probably shook their heads and sighed at the crumbling state of good pvp and then went and apologized to their opponent for you.
    4) Dying in cyro means nothing. If youre wearing mostly impen your gear doesnt break down, you dont lose money or ap or anything. The only consequence is likely a short ride back to where you were.
    5) It isn't at all cool to soul assault gank someone in the middle of a 1v1.

    Times when it MIGHT be ok to intervene is if your team member is getting sniped by some *** in the trees or theyre outnumbered. Or, one person is taking out an FC or capturing a critical resource, or youre a smaller group and need every person you can get to take a keep etc. Still I even let an outnumbered team member fight it out if it looks like they can handle it.

    Look I get it, the heat of battle and getting zerged down is part of Cyro open world pvp. But, just pause for one second before you go and hit your ulti button when you see a small scale or 1v1 fight happening. Assess the situation for a moment. A lot of players out there really appreciate the change in pace of a good 1v1, 1v2 or 2v2-3 or whatever from the constant zerging without being restricted to BGs. 1v1 and small scale fights are different in open world pvp than they are in BGs or duels outside of Cyro and I'm just saying, try and keep things healthy and fun for everyone. Not everything has to be zerged down everywhere all the time.

    If you want to 1v1 get out of Cyrodill ;)

    This game used to be pretty rewarding if you took the time to learn every little mechanic/detail and the people that used to be on the bottom of the cyrodiil food chain back then have long memories

    A Zerg is defined as a group with size "N+1", where N is the number of people currently in your own group.

    1: Who's trying to prove anything? If a player sees an enemy it is their prerogative to attack or not. It just is what it is. There are mechanics for duels. You are welcome to use them any time you wish...if you're trying to prove something.

    2: Surely you 1 v 1 ing isn't going to change the course of the war just as them Zerging your battle buddy isn't changing anything either. Really don't see your point. PvP'rs fulfill quests by killing enemy combatants. Does anyone need any more motivation than that?

    3: If you were trying to 1v1 that's great and all but too bad for you for doing it somewhere you might be found. Cyrodiil is a big place. There's tons of areas you can go to that are off the beaten track. Perhaps you should have mentioned something to your enemy. If you expect others to just let you fight you're expecting too much. Some will let you fight and some won't. Once again it's their prerogative.

    4: Dying is what it is. If it means nothing then 1 v 1 ing means nothing as well. Shrug. Just roll with it. Wait..why are we in Cyrodiil?

    5: Your wrong. Ganking is cool. Always. It keeps that pucker factor right where I like it.


    Seriously, it's pretty presumptuous to be lecturing folks on this stuff. There can be absolutely no expectation at all that an enemy should be left alone...pretty much period...unless you were able to text people in the area you were in a 1 v 1 and wanted to keep it that way. Even then they wouldn't be obliged but would probably let the fight unfold as you like.

    Why do people insist on dueling right next to a keep or places where there has been recent combat? If you want to 1:1, do it in the great expanses of uninhabited Cyrodiil, outside of the path of war. If you fight where others can see, expect them to join in.

    people go solo to test their skill. if they find some easy solo prey to 1v1, they shouldn't complain. however, sometimes they find worthy solo opponents and by chance, a nice duel evolves. it can be very frustrating if this is ended midway be adders.

    so to answer your questions: they don't "insist" on doing so, it rather happens by chance and feels very good compared to the usual zergfest. still, of course they cannot really complain about adders in that case, but I think it is VERY natural to be annoyed by them because the take away what the lucky coincidence just gave you

    I kinda agree OP, to certain extent. But, sigh. It’s kinda really hard to tell, especially if I a healer. As A Healer, it's my goal and mission to aid your allies, no matter what.

    At times I have to break my code of conduct, since at most I'm so uncertain. When I see 1v1 I'm hesitant to attack, I write in midst of battle. Is this a duel? It hard to tell then I watch still uncertain.

    85% I got it wrong and turns out it wasn't a duel at all. As well, got told after they get destroyed and or enemy attack me to after allies fall.

    I'm a bad healer since I hesitate if it is 1v1 or not. Especially when I question myself what do I do? I'm so uncertain. Hence I agree.

    However if it is 1v1. It’s in fact both of the duelist fault, for not picking a secluded secret area. To do 1v1. Heck even that wall ruin in Cyrodiil is a very good arena. To do 1v1 in, it's secluded also.

    Agree with this 100%.

    A few weeks back I was in the middle of a 1v1 with a NB. We had a good fight which I won. He used a forward camp and we started fighting again. As I was getting him down another nightblade came out of stealth and started to attack me. I thought for sure the 1st NB would back off and let me finish the guy who jumped in so we could continue our fight. Nope. They 2v1d me. Now for me if the shoe had been on the other foot i would have backed off as we were having a good fight. Was I furious and sending hate tells? No of course not but it did frustrate me and seeemd kind of lame. That 2nd NB could have easily ressed him after the fight was over. But thats how it goes i suppose. It willp not chnage my approach. I still plan on letting people fight unless it is a clearly mismatched fight.

    the solo player, small man groups, top players in general had a code of honor. you dont interrupt a 1v1, you dont zerg a solo player down etc etc. its almost non-existent right now. i do see a few players out there still abiding by it but mostly it only applies to people on your friendlist now.

    One mans code of honour is another man's 'screwing over a teammate who tried to help you'.

    I don't really see much honour there.
