1v1 duels!

edited August 2010 in PvP Gameplay
I recently played the new episodes introduced for the KDF and was pleasantly surprised by the 1v1 duel you have during one of the episodes. Im a huge Bat'leth user so it pushed every button going.

The only button it didn't push is the PvPer in me (im about 80% pvp if not more!).

It got me thinking however wouldn't it be cool if there was some sort of arena where people could go to fight. Perhaps a betting system could be put in place for people to watch and place bets. Of course this wouldn't be a very Federation thing (just like Dabo apparantly isn't a Klingon thing) so it would be hosted in Qo'Nos somewhere. Id personally love that to be a feature. Perhaps there could be a few cosmetic prizes given for achieving a certain number of victories or whatnot?

Just 2 cents!

    Yeah I got some good ideas. 2 types of 1v1.

    Regular: called enemy encounter or something where you queue up and fight a random person your level and you go and fight till one dies. Can be ground or space. Winner gets 5k EC and 20 SP and the loser gets 2k EC and 10SP

    Duel: people are in a challenge area and two people agree to a duel and can stake EC and items which go to the winner. same SP though.

    I'd love that so much, but cloak would have to be disabled or it would suck.

    EDIT: Also, there would be a high-scores on the website for the people's percentages and win count.

    Yup...awesome! A whole new area for people to QQ over and realize the imbalance and broken nature of PvP amongst ship types, BO/Captain powers, and skill levels. I can't wait... :rolleyes:

    Really 1 vs 1 shoudl be as simple as right clicking on the ship you want to challenge left clicking and sending him a challenge if he accepts then you go to a random game map until one person warps out.

    It really is that simple pure fun killing each other until one guy says enough and leaves.

    Right now if you want good 1v1 the war zones are a good place to look. Just remember that there are still borg in war zones.

    KDF can play Dabo too. The place is in Eta Erandi, something that starts with a D.

    I'd be all for a duel or challenge system. Just a simple "Such and such has challenged you to a duel" Then ya just hit yes or no and load a pvp map.

    expose the incompetence of noobs who believe every siongle player/ship/ability set should be equal. i say HOO RAH. People who realize the matrix of variables is so massive and varying that there is no true equaluity among any two different teams, individuals, and races are indeed above the rest. Bring. The. Pain.

    I for one dont need assurance of fair play before Ill accept a challenge.

    1v1 duel. any time kerrat. bring it dont sing it (i usually lose)

    I think he is asking for a bat'leth arena. In the mission it is you v NPC and you can only use your bat'leth - any other powers are taboo, and stops the tournament. I can agree but certain exceptions would have to be in place such as hypos and certain kit powers. I loved that mission too, and doing the bat'leth tournament is fun. BYT, did you get your Shard Sword from Blood of The Empire?

    I'd love to see a 1v1 dueling option....if only to shut up the people who always complain "it took 5 of you to kill me?? lol! I could take any of you 1v1".

    it already works.
    set up a private match.

    both players have to be in their friends list, and have to have pvp que window open to see the invite.
    then create game and invite. 1vs1 works already, and even counts for the daily.

    No, it does not already work, as you cannot set up a private match with less than 10 people. You would have to get 8 other individuals involved and promise to leave just to get your duel.

    Luckily there already is a planned place to duel in game - Andoria system. The entire map is there, along with store and exposition npcs, and a demarcated line across which duels are supposed to be possible.

    Unluckily, it has been there in its current state since release but no duel function was ever made active to use while in the map, so it currently does not work. There's also the question of where the KDF can go for their duels.

    Hopefully this is on their to-do list. Even non-PvPers would duel. Although I suspect once that happens, there will finally be greater pressure to re-balance the classes, as the last few patches have given engineers significant advantages over other classes (as in, in a battle between a tac and an engi of equal skill will always go to the engi unless they remove their kit).

    Andoria dueling keeps coming up in ask cryptic threads, so you'd think there's enough call for it since it seems nearly finished.

    check again, and then tell me how that worked:
