Dueling = 100% necessary at launch

Post » Fri Jul 19, 2013 12:10 am

Let us duel people on our own faction please. According to the Q&A from yesterday: "We don't have a dueling system in of that type currently."

As a role-player I find this to be 100% necessary, like the ability to walk instead of run everywhere. I am not a word-dueler/power-gamer and much RP requires the ability to actually fight someone else in-game (and not just in a war setting, but in a duel of honor or a bar brawl situation).

Also, I imagine min-maxxers will not like this exclusion as they can't readily test their builds in a controlled environment.

Please allow people on the same faction to duel anywhere they like.

Who's with me?

I'd like it, but honestly I could live without it if it came down to it. I don't like to duel strangers, I just like to beat on my friends to test stuff. I save my fighting for the enemy players.

Nah, I couldn't give a [censored].

PVE - training dummies are better

PVP - I don't PVP, and IMO what it seems like the devs are saying makes sense - it's better to practice PVP through PVPing...

Dueling is nice but it's not 100% necessary as you put it. I don't need it in the game, but I would absolutely like to have it in. It's not a game breaking feature to have and it shouldn't be a deal breaker for people either.

I want dueling very much. It is a social tool that should already be in every MMO.

I'll vote a 7.

I definitely think dueling should be implemented, but not necessarily at launch. There are more important things for them to think about.

I'll admit my desires are entirely selfish since part of the RP fun my 102-member guild and I were planning to have was revolved around being able to duel. I do hope they add it by launch or soon thereafter.

We will still be able to take writs out on named NPCs and anonymous "kill a female Khajiit Nightblade with orange fur in Cyrodiil" PvP writs but the lack of dueling certainly limits us even more...

Also in regards to training dummies those are only good for DPS ratings. Dueling allows to test tactics versus tactics (Nightblade skills versus Templar skills, or Bow versus Destro Staff for example). Can't do that with training dummies.

I don't think it's 100% necessary, but it'd be a nice thing to have. Unless you have dummies that can attack back at you, an area to duel would be nice just to test out weapons/gear. Dummies can't provide everything...
