Dueling

Post#1 » Wed Dec 24, 2014 10:48 am

Is there any way you can add a "duel option" in the game?i
I know this game is about RvR(and i enjoy that) but sometimes i just wanna duel around with my friends.For me,the fact that you couldn't dueled in WaR online(but you could in WoW) was a major downside.
Sometimes you just wanna foold around with buddies,or just wanna do 1-2 duels before the q is ready to go to battleground.

If adding duel was possible,i don't see why the gm woudn't add it to the game
P.S:Cheers for the good work so far :d

On the official forums people used to post a location for dueling and people would gather there. You may be onto something here, people that are interested in some brawling should start organizing these activities from here on forum since we have quite a lot of people on the server lately. Infact this should be the thread for that.

I meant dueling players/friends from the same faction as you,not 1vs1 whoever you came across with.

Afaik there is a /duel command in the game since the beginning. Duelling friendly players was a hot discussion back in the old days. I don't know if there is only the command or if the feature is in the game and "just needs to be unlocked".

Edi: or maybe it was just meant as an emote, that never worked :D

I do not remember duel feature in original WAR. People have organized Order vs. Destro duels in faraway places to avoid being farmed by the either side.
Some used duels to improve their skills and have fun. Some used duels to farm RR.

I suspect this is the reason that the /duel feature never was activated.

Except /duel wouldn't have given you renown, as you'd be killing your own side. I believe from reading one of the Q&As (was hilarious actually, lol) that the feature was never considered high priority enough to implement.

No.

Classes are (supposedly) balanced for RvR. This means that a group of destro are kinda balanced when fighting a group of order; however, 1v1 they aren't. People already complained about balance when fighting 1v1 against someone from the opposite realm; allowing duels would probly double these complaints.

Level an alt on the opposite faction. Log on that alt whenever you want to duel your friends. You can get to level 10 in a day and get geared in a week.

Geez... there are many more important things to work on atm.
