Player Challenges

Why not have the ability to use the Ctrl Key and challenge someone to an isolated duel; a group to a pvp match as well. Another idea I find worth mentioning would be an equal pvp opportunity to test the skill level of a player. Have a set configuration to pick from depending on which archeotypes are fighting each other, and then duel it out. After the pre-established stats are placed on each character, then just make fame equal. I believe this would be a funner option, and also a great daily challenge. Actually something that tests true skill, not just power and some minor skill.

If you are against the ideal of being able to selectively duel someone, or the idea of an equal geared pvp match, please specify why in a reply. This would help greatly in improving the idea and maybe getting it integrated into the game.

No wonder not many things get implemented, show some support. At least vote on the poll please. I thank the 5 people who did. Even though one of those people voted no, it still helps.

 

why not , i say yes

However, ignoring a player should also prevent them from being able to challenge you, to avoid harassment

 

Player set PvP parameters was suggested over a year ago, maybe 2 on the old forums. The dev team will never create it as the programming involved to create it and add it into the game apparently was beyond their abilities. And I doubt BP hired new devs since then.

Sure, lets encourage twinks. These twink guilds could just duel each other and never even have to fight real opponents.

Bad idea this is like adding gasoline to an already raging fire. Very open for abuse.

 

Thought about this once... I like the idea!
Another really fun thing could be challenges in 3vs3 so everyone know each other. Could be really fun to test teams against each other in the guild, or some guilds eliteplayers against each others and such. 5vs5 challenges could be extreemely fun!

 

Hi _Baragain_ and Sewyew,

You both are correct, but those twinks are already bulling the arena.

If BP implemented this idea, everybody could fight his friends until they reach lvl 40 fame tree, at least this way everybody would be equal in the fame tree.

As for exploit of this idea, BP could add a limit, like this "once reached lvl 40 fame, you can no longer participate in anymore fights", does this sounds fair???

 

"Exploiting" the game is part of the fun and excitement of any game. After figuring out the rules, everyone tries to make those rules work for them, to full advantage. The game needs to change to avoid boredom and keep ahead of the players.
As to rigging pvp matches, those schemes started with day 1. If it's not in the rules, it is not controlled, and fair play.

 

In open PvP, you don't gain fame anymore after killing the same player a few times (5 or something) on the same day. This regulation should also take effect in these challenge duels, in order to not make reaching fame level 40 too easy.

 

I thought about that, but there is a still a problem. These twink guilds are 30-50 people... Even with 5 wins each, that is still easy to exploit. The only way I can say this could work without unbalancing the game even more is to make it for no points. This would let people make challenges to settle grudge matches with little to no exploitation possible. Also, along this line of thinking, you could make it so you could agree to and set some rules in advance and it would be enforced by the game. For example, a "No Essence/Buff" grudge match. Or a "No Fame Perks" match. Or maybe a "No Potions" game. Or all three! Then, all of these trash talkers who say things like "ESS Noob," "Pot Drinker," or all those other stupid things players say could accept a "Grudge Match" invite and see if their skill lines up with their trash talk.

 

Liked the idea _Baragain_

Could put up a bet of Fame!

 

I like the idea. +1

 

They could simply add an option that allows for 1v1 duels with "Arena" gear only. Arena gear would be a specific set of balanced equipment to be determined by the devs that any person entering the arena is automatically equipped with up entering. That way you can still have fair fight duels and gain fame and no exploitation.

Should also be able to duel with other people that you choose, but for ZERO fame.
