[MERGED - OFFICIAL] Dueling aka 1v1

Yes, I wish Guild Halls had that, where you could just practice with your guild mates, no exp. and no faction. The teams would simply be whatever the two sides choose to have, so it could be 1v8 for all they care, but the point is, it's for practice.

Agreed.
We are not asking for an offical 1v1 arena, simply a private practice is good enough.

i read the sticy thread about 1 on 1 , im glad it was closed , trols cant help it on destroing threads , anyway , here goes my shot.

in towns when we clic on someone there is a TRADE button , i think it would be nice a BATLE button

and then to give it a reason to fight there would be bets in gold , minimum 100 g with no maximum , 2 players bet the same , winner takes all ...

beting items would be cool , but its hard to value items , so , gold is simple and perfect.

for the 1 on 1 arenas , ramdom small stanced ( of corse ) places.

i only see one rule for this , only same level can do batle ...

IM SURE THIS IS A PERFECT RPG PVP MIX ...

id love to fight 1 on 1 with people i meet when just chating , etc etc

one on one is a must

Dont gain faction , or experince ( to save from grinders , hard core farmers , 2 acounts users , etc etc ) , just for gold and honour.

Who's got the stamp?

/bad idea.

LOL that's a great twist to the PvP idea, however I would make an alteration on this "in cities" portion (unless you were refering to an actual ARENA experience versus just being in a city)
Maybe a zone with in the city and in addition to the trade button, when another player is selected; we add a duel button. By clicking it all players in that area see in public chat "Volarian has challenged Neoteo to a duel/fight", the challenge player sees this in an alternate chat font (similar to PM's) <--again this would only be acheivable in those particular zones of a city...otherwise it would be rampant to just whack another player with the gauntlet whenever (and we all hate the unsolicited invites we get already).
If duel is accepted then a 1 min preparation time for wagers and skill prep etc.

I love it!!! Heck it would even be great to throw in a graphical effect when a player is challenged that he's knocked down for 1 sec as though he'd been slapped in the face by the "gauntlet"!! LMAO

if the batle hapands , the players fighting would go to a STANCED place , no one would be fighting in towns ( lol )

spectators is a nice option , but i would be happy with 2 person place.

just gold and honour.

PS : this would be just for RPG chars.

Why not? I mean, we have dwarven ale now - with alcohol comes fights...

Hmmm...DRUNKEN 1v1. Now THAT might be fun....

Great, we can have two UW solo monks go one on one and the winner would be the first one to leave.

/bad idea

Battles can be fixed, and DUH, do you REALLY want a level 1 battling a level 20?

(You didn't mention freakin LEVEL LIMITS)

Maybe if you expanded on your idea, it would work better...But currently this is a...

/bad idea

It would be better, if instead of the person you want to battle being forced to fight, they should be asked if they want to fight.

If they truly wanted a fight feature for 1v1, they could implement an Arena within an Arena, even going so far as to have gambling on who will win.

PS: Love the idea of a drunken fight

These are just the ideas of a sad, sad toe, so feel free to flame them if you wish

Sure, i'll bring a monk with peace and harmony, boon, and Orison spam. There is no way a single person can take me down, even with interrupts. I'll just make my kid sister sit and mash buttons until you leave, and then I'll do it again.

/bad idea

there should at least be an option to fight.and even if there is i dont want people spamming "fite me n00b losur u suxx0r!!!!". and then some classes will have and advantage over others.

/bad idea

ps:bring on the stamp

Personally, I would love a 1v1 feature. I want to fight some of my guild members so we can really see who is the one doing all the damage. I know the ele in my guild would drop like a stone vs my war. He'd drop off a firestorm or meteor shower thinking it's big damage, but I am smarter than AI and would simply move out of it and bash his head in with my axe!

/good idea!!!!

are guys retarded ? geeee , can you even read ?

of corse the other player must acept , he must pay ! minimum 100 gold

how it works :

you clic on player , clic on batle butom , spend minimum 100 gold , if the other player puts the same amount as you and press acept ... you and him go to a 1 on 1 only arena. when its over return to same town before the fight.

winner takes all gold

NO FACTION , NO FAME , NO RANK , NO EXP

JUST GOLD AND HONOUR

get it ?

PS : i did mention level limits , you are to lazy to read threads

ONLY SAME LEVEL CAN BATTLE

I'd like the ability to train within Guild Halls, which is apparently going to happen, but this? No.

did nobody EVER had the feeling to test out a certain skill, without going through major hassles?

a buddy and me, one on one, can find out all about the skills, that we want to know.



but for gold? dueling? mindless pvp?
no, dont like this.

Okay. I get run to droks, buy the armor, put the new armor in my inventory while wearing my starter set, go to ascalon, pretend I'm new and challenge everyone, swap on armor, win. Rinse, repeat. There is so much potential for griefing and scamming that this is not worth it. What does this accomplish? Encourages competition? No. It encourages aggression and ego.

For all those that love to bash others' ideas, you did read that both people have to agree on the duel didn't you? It's not like it's picking random people at random times. You'd have to be an idiot if your monk accepted a battle with a mesmer. Now, say you're sitting around in Lion's Arch trying to sell some junk, and someone whispers you and asks you if you'd like to battle. You don't feel like it so you say "No thanks." "Ok, no problem.", they repsond, and that's that. Is it really that bad of an idea.

/good idea

Doesn't matter. Anything involving gold being exchanged will result in chaos and aggrevation, as it gives further fuel to griefers and scammers alike.

I would support it if there was no gold exchange involved.

at least they can choose not to bet for gold
