Tom Trinity.1804 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I think it would be a greatly utilized (and FUN!) feature throughout all GW2 to allow players who are in places where they are normally allies to all other players (possibly in PvP Lobby, or just waiting around in a town, bored, for example, or waiting for a meta event to occur on a living story map, etc) to select another friendly player, and type "/duel" or "/challenge", and if the other player responds by doing the same back (selecting the challenger and typing "/duel") within 20s or so, then those two players would become foes of each other temporarily (still remaining allies to all others in the map), and could duel until one gets downed or possibly a set time elapses.It could automatically end when one of the two gets downed so that it stays friendly and the winner can even res the loser.Waypointing and leaving the instance would be disabled while in combat, but doesn't necessarily need to be disabled outside of combat (would end the duel early)."/gg" could be used by either player to end the duel early (forfeit).It could start out only in PvP Lobby as a beta of sorts (if it is too much dev effort to allow in lots of other maps at first, or if skills need to be PvP versions for that combat).It could increase interest in the PvP community game-wide and allow way more fun to be introduced into the game for a large portion of players that love a challenge and a contest.It could eventually be expanded to more than 1v1 if it is a successful feature.Please add a thumbs up or post a comment or suggestion if you think this would be a desirable/successful feature for the game.

LaGranse.8652 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Anet has previously mentioned that the way this game handles PvP and PvE areas on maps makes it nearly impossible to implement a dueling function. The closest you will get is the pvp lobby arena. A dueling option usable in random areas will never be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne.6253 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The game needs a duel system, it's easy to put, why it isnt inside the game actually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycura.1982 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 There are servers specifically for dueling. Go to one and /bow and wait for a/bow back. Duel to down and don't stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duel to down and don't stomp. Pretty much solves their issue, unless their only goal is to be able to do it when people who do not want to watch them would have to watch the duel.

AliamRationem.5172 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I personally love dueling, but for the minor gain of being able to duel in open world, I think this idea brings too many potential negatives with it. This is not something we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
