1v1 Duel Idea

Hi i have lot of friends in neverwinter a want to duel in 1v1 but its hard to find them on pvp dominion and there is not a free pvp map, so why dont you introduce the "duel" function in this game? in other mmorpgs you can duel with other ppl just by clicking on them and selecting duel, if the other guy accepts the duel starts (in neverwinter could be "press F /duel"). I think this can be a very easy way to duel your friends and to train at pvp.

I've always liked the Duel System in Champs (whose Engine Neverwinter uses, so it shouldn't be that much of pain to get it here), so count a +1 from me.
Of course, there is the very real possibility that the Duel Spam (yes, it's a thing) could make Protectors Enclave completely unusable. It's one of those "Try And See" type things, as long as enough members of the community will use it for it to be worth the time coding it.

You would be mistaken. A significant portion, perhaps, But most definitely not all.
IMO, if a duel system were to be introduced, it should take place in its own little instanced area - they could use the promenade area from the Summer Festival - section it off into 2 area - the actual combat area, where only 2 people can enter, and the surrounding area, where they could add stands and places for people to watch from. Companions would have to be disabled, and it would otherwise function like PvP.
My only other concern, if this was implemented, is that you'd have things like a GWF vs another GWF, that might come to a stalemate, or 2 perma-stealth TRs who just avoid each other all the time...

the kind of duel i was talkin about can only start by clickin on someone and ask for a duel, so you can only duel who you wants, you dont have to join a queue and fight a random class
Oh no doubt. I was just talking hypotheticals - 2 GWFs agree to duel one-another, and neither can put the other down. Perhaps hve them limited to 5 or 10 mins each or something, and declare the one that did the most damage the victor if they are both still standing at the end..

This exactly.
The classes were never designed for 1v1 style PVP, but for a team approach. The game leans far more to a rock, paper, scissors approach. Then being flat balanced, where every class has an equal chance to attack and counter each other class.
So for every pro PVPer looking to push their limits against difficult classes or impossible odds. There will be thousands of flavor of the month bullies dual spamming anyone they know they can beat.
Now, if it was put off into its own area. And the only place one can offer duels. Id not mind it so much. It would reduce the annoyance and bully factor considerably. But I still feel the entire idea would still be mostly fail, just due to how the classes are balanced.
As far as spam goes, can't someone spam you with trade now if they wanted to? It's not much of a threat and you have the choice to accept or not.
I can understand why this would be frowned upon in Protector's Enclave, but any other instance should suffice.
this may be more feasible for you when module 3 hits depending on how they implement these pvp areas.
Would be very helpful to players struggling with certain classes.
And yes classes are not balanced for 1v1's but that's ok, practice stalemating, you'll get better I swears!!
For now just do what the rest of us have been doing, get a few friends in separate groups and que up at the same time. Most of the time you guys will get the same pop then at the end of the match just close the scoreboard and the map is yours for as long as you want to practice
how about class balancing first before this absurd system?
I don't see the problem in letting two DCs duel each other if they want to. In fact I don't see any problems with any two people dueling if they want to do so.
I think he means Cryptic should use their scarce resources to fix the current class imbalance in PVP such as TRs being too overpowered in controlling nodes.
Now, before you say this is an easy update remember; this is cryptic and anything simple could take weeks to complete for some reason
