PVP DUEL ANYWHERE OPTION UPDATE

salem

We need a "duel" pvp option that you can use anywhere on any map.

DC UNIVERSE has this and it works perfectly.

This would bring a lot of old players back. It would allow players to spar or settle conflicts. It would bring a whole new element to the game and actually get people into PVP.

Many people agree. Let's do it devs. Let's start putting stuff in the game that people actually want.

No.

Let's just keep pvp dead and adding absolutely nothing to the game that people want then

I do like this idea, it would be nice to have, though lets be real, its not going to bring back old players back or improve the population much. Those people left for much more substantial reasons. This idea is mostly a gimmick, but its one that requires few enough participants that it wouldn't be a total loss. It would help make PVP a little bit more visible, which would get more people curious.

The main type of PVP in this game is all stuff that requires you to play as a team, which is a whole different animal from duels, the people attracted by duels to try out teamplay will probably quit quickly like all the other pugs who come in unprepared. Hence why this isn't a viable way to increase the PVP population much.

Sounds cool but all companion HAMSTER would have to be disabled. There's just too much stuff there to balance the fights.

Champions online has this option to PvP or challenge players to PvP. The only issues with this, I am conducting other business or standing around chatting with friends and they invite me. If I decline, it should be enough, but some are spammy and interrupt you over and over with the gauntlet being thrown down. Most of my characters are level 40 and I get invited to PvP by new players with something to prove. It can be fun, but it can also be annoying. Even if you are not the players within the duel, there is a lot of audio and visual distraction as well. For this reason, I tend to avoid the Detroit Renaissance Center and will try not to be too close to the active PvP area.

I am not a programmer, but this feature was probably removed or delete from the core engine when changed into Neverwinter. No developer has informed me how they "remove" features, but maybe they just used a switch to turn it off? Then turning it back on could be simple or it could break the game engine.

Finally, this style, of one on one PvP, doesn't appeal to me at all. Especially with the mechanics used by all of Cryptic's games. When I desire to play good PvP, I go back to Factions in Guild Wars on the weekends. Don't get this confused with the free to play GW2, as I never acknowledged GW2 as even being the same game. Factions is still for sale in their digital store, but you would need to purchase all three campaigns, plus the Eye of the North supplement to access all PvP skills.

Neverwinter has decent PvE, the graphics and animation flow well, but I never enjoyed PvP here.

But wouldn't it be nice to settle disputes or spar with your teammates in different environments?

They could add an ignore invite option to ignore challenges, or just make a pvp invite on or off option so if you don't want to you could just not even be invited at all.

Also I don't think something like that would be coded out, it's probably a simple activation. You'd be surprised what devs can do with "the flip of a switch"

Doing things to make this game interesting, that don't effect gameplay, are only a plus. I actually have other amazing ideas for pvp. I've played on and off since mod 10 and I've seen a lot of stuff hurt this great game.

1) It needs to be put on the PvP Q as 1v1.
2) It has to make both sides make the same dmg. Leaving everything to player skills. Otherwise will happen the same as in normal pvp were maxed abused the news making them stop playing.
3) Ping is needed to be taken in consideration. Since depending on ping you can have like 1 second delay.
4) We need a separate option to auto cancel all those invitations. Cuz i would hate to put "not accepting invitations" only to avoid spamming bast--- ppl.

On the other side, if what you want it's just PvP outside the Q.. Just go to Icewind Dale.

As Wendy pointed out, in Champions it does effect gameplay. You cannot expect it to be any different if they implement it in Neverwinter.

You want to PvP, queue for it or do it in designated areas. Not in the road, like happens in Icewind Pass.

We have asked for a duel queue for PVP for a while , can we please have this implemented - Please

So you can at least go with a guildie or friend


Can PVP please get some attention ... so many new players lately which shows that the new combat system and scaling does provide better balance , yes not perfect but no system is ...

the matchmaking just need like 5 rules to apply (like the total No-Gos) and we are alt better

please give the pvp players what they have asked for , for so long ...all of them should be given some effort as they too contribute and community is actually growing

Thanks

in iwd you can run away and never be found especially as a rogue lol ...


It would be really nice to have a duel queue and maybe a queue where you can only compete with your own guild vs another guild for Stronghold rewards ... will be so much fun !!

make a tournament (duel queue) to launch the duel queue system ...

have a round robin duel queue tournament in offseason so we have pvp in the 2 weeks normal season is not available ??

pvp can be so much fun ..the past was sheeet lets be honest but the new combat system has changed everything ... just need to sort few bugs/issues which is not alot

Theres alot of new players already from last season... many of the new ones didnt know about the scaling and how it works but once they did was very happy tht they could compete without being BIS or close

i really believe the community will grow exponentially if the few issues are sorted out and a few battle options are added for variety ...
