[Suggestion] 1 vs 1 Battle system

Hi all, I want to suggest to be created 1 vs 1 battle system for training and practicing with real players.

I don’t mean 1 vs 1 with pvp rankings and rewards for doing it, just the option to request battle to our friends, guildies or random players the same way we request trade or inspect people.

I want the option like that to have the opportunity to test my skills against players I know because the options we have at the moment are 5 vs 5 and 20 vs 20 and there you know you cant really have a private battle with someone you know for example. And the black ice pvp you cant just bring your friends with opposite faction to test a battle.

I can give an example with another game I played, on that game there was big pvp maps where you get pvp ranks for killing players, but they also had “request battle” option to play with anyone you want in 1 vs 1.
So I will try explain what I actually suggest and it is requesting battle with any player we want even if we want to battle in Protector’s enclave. In the other game I played we were able to fight on any map even the main city where the most people are usually, the game was creating big fighting circle where your opponent get his name in red color and cooldown of 5 seconds for battle to start. Of course while battle is active you cant interact/attack any other players or NPC’s. And if you leave the fighting circle the battle is automatically canceled.

Maybe some of you will worry about experienced players requesting noobs to fight and kill them, the solution for that is “Auto reject battle option” which is on by default. So if you want to request and accept battles you need to turn it On manually in options, for example the way you turn Zone chat on and off.

I believe this suggestion will help for me and others to better learn how to play their own character and ability to fight other players/friends for fun too.

Sorry if some texts are written wrong, it is just my not very good English, but I hope you get my main point here :)

    It's not exactly what you're looking for, but you can always challenge someone to a duel in Icewind Pass or Dwarven Valley. :)

    Its not even close, what if i want to test my skills against a friend or someone from my guild? How can that happens?

    Icewind pvp maps are all open for all and i have to stand there just waiting for random players to show up. So here are few problems:
    What if i wait 20 minutes and no one come?
    What if another 2 players come together and kill me in 2 vs 1?
    What if im 20k gs and another player with 12k show up, what kind of test that would be?
    What if i want to test my skills against lets say HR with ~15k gs? How long i have to wait for hr with average 15 gs to come alone for 1 vs 1 fight?
    How do i fight someone i know to talk about the things i did wrong and right in the battle

    And you can think of many other questions like that so Ice wind pvp maps are not any help about it.

    If they are too bothered to make a simple new PVP map in over a year, I don't think they would bother making a 1v1 system.

    How about like other MMOs out there you have an option to request a duel? Drops for the winner could be the same table as normal foes from zones.

    Sounds like a bad idea, can you imagine the bots fighting each other for "drops"?

    Why would there even be a drop table for player defeat? Remove that and your suggestion is great.

    I would be happy to see a 1v1 system in the game. I think it's a good idea; there's always gonna be one idiot in IWD or DV happy to interrupt such a thing, so yes, +1.

    yeah 1 vs 1 duels, but no rewards at all, o glory, no drops, maybe karma ^^

    No, no, no, no, no.
    PE is bad enough without a bunch of e-Peens constantly fighting and throwing spells and noise around.
    It's extreeeeeemely annoooooooooying.

    If you want a duel it should be at least 500' from any quest/NPC -- ideally they should make a simple arena area. They've already got something that would probably work in Trade of Blades -- just talk to the PvP master, request a duel -- and the duelist enter their own instance of ToB.

    ...and this is one of those topics that is suggested probably every month since beta.

    I never understood why more games did not impliment such a system. I think it is widely supported bymost players in most games. One way or another MMOs are social and in that society conflicts between individuals will arise. The catharsis of being able to resolve those conflicts, to me, seems a no-brainer.

    i find the Duel option as a must! duel is an option like all the others in games like this, yes like the trade option. It just has to be there.
    To take that to another level i also think PvP queues for 1v1s (lets say a how many kills u can make on 1v1s till someone kills you type of PvP) and why not 3v3 in terms of a pit fight. (no capping, last man standing wins)
    i think these ideas are excellent and that they will bring some fresh air into PvP.
    we pvpiers have always something to whine about.
    Come on devs and throw us some "cheese" here.
    I bet we would all appreciate it.

    Should be sparring rooms in trade of blades for 1v1 dueling.
