Yeah. And by the way. Why do you die when you loose a duel ?
I mean no other mmo does that, there's no reason for it or anything. Why. Is it just because no one could find how to work around the "when your hp reaches 0 --> you die" ? A duel is supposed to be friendly and all. Here you just kill your opponent and his lifeless body soon vanishes into nothingness.. And remember we're superheroes. How would you react if Superman just tore Wonder Woman apart before your eyes and acted like "woohoo I won" ? Well as soon as she comes back running at supersonic speed from the hospital I bet it's fine, but still. Doesn't feel right.
Not all duels are friendly. You think as myself being a super villain ima going to walk up to Heroes like Brou or Caliga and go lets have a friendly play fight ?? No im going to go IMA KILL YOU WITH DEATH! :O

It was simply easier for cryptic to do it like this especially seeing as this hardly even affects anything. Also a lot of things kick in at low hp, if the duel ended if someone gets under 10% hp then you wouldn't get the fight for survival if someone manages to get away on this low hp.
Also everyone has a pretty interesting personalty when they PvP and trust me some people like to play the villain. I wont say any names but...
For my part, I find it saves on angst to just view the whole Hero Games purely as a metagaming construct, not events that impact the continuity of Champions Earth. It really doesn't suit the principles underlying the setting, anyway. These are supposed to be superheroes, in the classic comic-book sense of role models and champions of positive virtues. There's no way people like that are going to pound on each other for nothing but rankings and bragging rights; let alone run through the devastation of an alien invasion or zombie apocalypse for the same "rewards".
These things exist because some players want them, not as an outgrowth of the setting. If you need for your PC to have a sense of accomplishment by doing these things. perhaps you could treat the scenarios as some type of simulation, like recreational holograms or a danger-room training exercise.
Mind you, I apply the same mindset to Club Caprice, too.

There's zero motivation when you're already the best in a game that has a broken PvP queue system, which rarely gives fruit to the loins of any decent match that isn't B.A.S.H. (which is the most boring of all the HG's.)
I blame the dev's. When they give enough of a **** about PvP to fix it, then I'll queue.
Well. I'm not asking for a rencen respawn point, that would be the same thing. Just have your hero stand up after a moment once he's defeated. Not vanish.
As for that ubtri guy, please don't derail an innocent thread into "cryptic socks, I'm the best and screw y'all blah blah blah".. Real, it seems like people, even if they don't like how the game is done, can't restrain from coming here and telling everyone. Just go, if you're the best well congrats ! Now move on.
Wouldn't it be easier on the servers to have an auto rez rather than loading the players into different areas and have them come back to reload the area they were dueling in?

Due to being placed in the hero games section it has now been renamed to...WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!?
FYI luci has talked about you pretty much every time I have seen them on their current account with a character named "the raven." Luci wants you bach, real bad.
I do have to wonder what this thread was originally about, let me quickly read the OP.
I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

No, she just found her personality.
Lets get real for a second. Before we can start asking why heroes "die" at the end of a duel, we first need to explain wtf this "respawn" thing is.

10/10.
I'd rather get STO's level of lockbox suck if worthwhile updates come with it. -Buxom
Not true. Duels end when the servers go down for maintenance

And then once everyone is done acquiring their Justice Gear, they can have duels that are even less likely to end. GG
Sorry to be devil's advocate here but... if that's true, how do you explain the duels that you and I have had?
