Duels wouldn't really ruin the game. Duels are often unfair and favor some classes above others. But adding dueling to the game would in no way hurt the gameplay or make some players overpowered. It's just a minor feature.
Dueling can be just as fun as anyother part of PvP inclusion. If dueling was in warhammer I bet all these people saying it sucks would be like "omg thats soo cool".
Fact is a 1v1 situation is fun, shame its missing from this game. I hear AoC will have it and their ideas sound like massive amounts of fun...
DAoC did have dueling and while I thought it was rather pointless for me personally, lots of players liked to duel -- and, frankly, I liked to watch.
For real fights, I did RvR.
Best duel I ever saw was between two casters who decided to use daggers. The "mage daggers" were really mainly for the +buffs-to-stats, but they used them as weapons (auto-attack only).
It was hilarious as they were running around like mad, attacking each other, fighting up the staircases, down the staircases, around the towers -- sort of like an old Errol Flynn swashbuckling movie.
I tell you, if WAR has half the good experiences of old DAoC, it's going to be FUN!

OMG! Let's totally hit Starbucks, then we can go to the Hot Topic and on the way we can spam every person we see with a duel challenge...it will be SOOOOOOOOOOOO cool...

Originally posted by SpiritofGame Oh, just an additional thought. If dueling is included in WAR (and I tend to think it will be), I would bet dollars to doughnuts that they will also include an easy toggle: "Automatically Decline Duel Challenges" If dueling isn't fun for you -- don't do it.

Not when you are the annoying jerk getting your ass kicked.

We can clearly see from this reply that the amount of annoying animations in ones signature is in direct conection to ones lack of reading comprehension. I know it's hard for you, but try to read it again, it won't hurt, it won't, I promise.
Dueling takes away from the goals (or what should be the goals) of a player and a guild. Fun on the side, but the time to create, fix, patch, update, and otherwise waste perfecting player dueling could be spent on adding / fixing / polishing content. Right?

All I see is "I don't want to see duels because *I* don't like them!"
In that case how about.. "I don't like duelling because it leads directly to the nerfbat being deployed by the devs after they receive all the whines from duellers who lose to class xyz"
I'd rather keep duels out of WAR. It's not as if they'll even be "practice", since you won't be facing the classes you could duel on the battlefield.
Valid point. In past games alot of MMO companys are tryin to throw extra crap in to make the game seem more fun dueling doesnt help make a game better. Dosent prove your better then anyone just becuase of what this post says.
YOU'RE NOT FIGHTING THE ENEMY AND YOU ARNT PREPARING YOURSELF BY KILLING A TANK OF YOUR FACTION TO GO KILL A COMPLETELY DIFFRENT CLASS THAT PLAYS NOTHING LIKE THE ON YOU KILLED.
They should do duels like we did in DAOC back in the day.. Get together with the opposing side (bulletin boards, forums, whatever.) Meet out in the frontier area, go at it one on one, point at who you want to fight and go duke it out. Granted, eventually some group not participating will come by and roll you, but it's all good fun. D.
They are still doing this! Check out 5:55 of ironbreaker owning people in duels :P point is, they are /bowing and dueling together
I play a rogue, we don't duel, we kill... Ops! No rogues in WAR? Sorry!
Witch elf stealths dual wields and stuff, so I guess they are a rogue?
Witch elf and Witch hunter = rogue.
I am still upset all these months later about Mythic breaking its no stealth in WAR promises. It was such a huge about face. Still, Iwill play in open Rvr with my guildies mostly, so hopefully (being a clothie) they will keep me up long enough to whack any stealthers coming after me

Yeah i agree. But, if i recall correctly they said that when WH and WE go into stealth it slowly drains their AP so they need to think fast and do it more tacticly i guess... Correct me if im wrong.

Yes, stealthing uses AP but there are a lot of videos on youtube now and AP doesn't seem to limit their stealthing abilities at all.

Dueling seems to be too much of a WoW mimic move. I really hope WAR does not have to use WoW as 100% of their guidelines on how to make a MMORPG.
YOU'RE NOT FIGHTING THE ENEMY AND YOU ARNT PREPARING YOURSELF BY KILLING A TANK OF YOUR FACTION TO GO KILL A COMPLETELY DIFFRENT CLASS THAT PLAYS NOTHING LIKE THE ON YOU KILLED.
So dueling,matter of factly, is pointless.
