I heared that it will finally be possible to fight 1 on 1 in Factions. Is this true?

Mesmers would most likely own the scene. Hehe.

otherwise its kinda useless...

Agreed!

Mesmer > Warrior
Mesmer > Elementalist
Mesmer > Ranger
Mesmer > Necro
Mesmer > Monk
and even...

Mesmer > Mesmer?

1v1 is pretty common in GvG actually.

I wouldn't mind seeing a dueling arena if just to test potential builds for 1v1 capability. It wouldn't be a serious gametype, sure, but could it be any less serious than comp arenas?

Peace,

Dump it into the guild hall and limit it to members. Problem solved.

Call it "training" or something.

it's been confirmed somewhere(backstage pass?) that there's indeed 1 vs. 1 arenas in faction...

personally I don't mind it.

if you don't like then don't attend it...just because you don't like it doesn't mean others shouldn't have the chance to do it.

it could be fun although I'm sure that'll it just end up with one FoTM ownage build at some point, potentially making it a rather shallow affair.

Yeah, there was a frog/Gaile talk a few weeks ago that made it seem pretty certain that there would be 1v1.

I doubt any mesmer build would own this one:

Punishing Shot
Distracting Shot
Savage Shot
Concussion Shot
Tigers Fury
Apply Poison
Troll Unguent
Pin Down

Or a really good interrupter can go with

Concussion Shot
Apply Poison
Pin Down

What's so great about mesmers when there are interrupters around? Their 1/4 seconds spells are to shutdown mages only.

No single class can have like their skills ready made for any impending enemy.

Are there any skills a mesmer can pack that pwns both meelee and casters at the same time ? New players maybe.

I've won against an anti-caster mesmer using a water ele .. Go figure

The 1 on 1 pvp will be used to only to improve the main pvp. GW is really not designed to do 1 on 1 pvp. I would personly like to see other types of pvp. Like have mounts pvp and jousting type pvp.

Thank you very much. (I'm glad there are people who think logically here)

It doesnt matter if 1on 1 is a useful affair, or if it is fair. It doesnt matter if this game was disigned for it or not!

IT WOULD BE FUN!! Nuff said. (and it wouldnt screw this game up in any way, or interfere with anything)

It could be just a bonus feature. An easter egg or something. If someone thinks it's stupid, or useless, simply dont do 1 on 1... ignore it.
I'm sure many ppl will enjoy this with their friends however.

They better start looking for a new name. But seriously if your not going to put a fun feature into a game because of the name....Im sure at a staff meeting they were all like: "dammit, we would love to implement a 1v1 arena but we screwed up on our game name" .

If they do 1v1's, they could really make it fun and do away with the player radar and red dots. That way it's line of sight, so there is some actual movement and positioning involved. Mesmers don't look so scary when that Warrior spots them first and moves around and gets the jump on them with all those interrupts and knockdowns. That said, I'd take my Me/R up against anything

1 v 1 will allow more skill options as you will not have an extra skill slot ^_^

(you will no longer need to the usualy mandatory res skill spot)

thank you. I'm a rare breed though, you'll have a hard time finding people in this forum that are able to look past their own nose. it's a shame really.

did you notice GAILE said those were developers screens and used for testing and may or may not make it into retail at some possible, maybe, time?

well in todays gaile chat, like someone here perviously posted, it MIGHT be used just for training or comming up with builds that is all. ITS NOT going to happen permently for factions sorry, for all of you who wanted a 1 vs 1 i would have liked it but don't mind either way..

quoted for truth
heck I don't care if faction is gained (only be a little anyways) but just like the devs, be nice to try out stuff too..
even better if you could go in as a party of 2 and just try out stuff on eachother...

F U lets go

Yeah, it's gonna be the five-year-old center. It'll be funny to watch, though; 2 warriors saying they wanna go one-on-one and talking tons of smack to each other... I'm looking forward to it.

Guess people are worried that 1v1s may create an enviroment where you can't depend on anyone else and your indivual build rather then teamwork and using skills together.....O wait a minuite we have that place already it's called Random Arenas.
