"I don't want to do it, so other people shouldn't be able to do it either"

I've always hated that. People with this mentality should just keep their mouths shut instead of flaunting their ignorance.

I agree with this idea 100%! Betting would be great as well, of course only if we weren't able to exploit it.

I would like to see 1v1 Duels with Ranking and the ability to be randomly matched up with an opponent of similar rank.

Tuoba Hturt Eht · Mar 11, 2006, 08:29 AM // 08:29

Again, here is my suggestion to add to this topic of discussion:

Regarding random 1 vs 1, make it so that players will be able to duel with other players of the same primary profession, i.e:
- Warriors vs Warriors
- Rangers vs Rangers
etc...

But, in order to prevent characters with ubar tanking abilities but with little or no actual killing abilities into the fight, a "qualification round" is required.

Example:
John the warrior wants to random duel another warrior.
W/Mo John enters random 1 vs 1 arena and is greeted with a AI W/x
("x" can be any secondary profession)
The W/Mo John must defeat the qualification round before he can actually fight with other warriorrs in random 1 vs 1 arena.

I don't know if this has been suggested anywhere, but why would 1v1 be random??

I think the easiest and most enjoyable way to introduce a duel arena is to let people pair up themselves.

You get your party of 2 together, enter, and then you duel each other. This is by far the best option for doing duels.

If you want to try out a build against another build, then it's easy enough to just get someone that wants to do the same. Say you want to test our your mes build against a monk and a monk wants to test their build against a mes. They join together, enter, and that's that. They could even introduce 3-4 small arenas for dueling that would be large enough for someone to practice running around in a bit.

i want 1vs1....i dont care if it not balanced or not.
if u don't like it don't play it. as simple as.
i hope it comes soon.
polymock and norn arena are proving that 1vs1 makes sense for the most of us.
for fun factor duels are a great idea......immagine 2 mesmers facing each other or whatever....and seein whcih build/weapon/rune choice is best etc...
bring 1vs1 to GW and revive PvP

Which weapon and rune are the best? You mean, which mesmer brought anticaster build and which one brought antiwarrior build? Oh yea, so thrilling..

1vs1 won't revive GW PvP. The problem with PvP revival is that no one in ANet cares about it. They are slowly killing PvP and making it into PvE because people love PvE. Let's see... Prophecy = PvP arenas > Factions = PvPvE arenas (alliance battles and FA) >> Nightfall = PvE arenas (Hero Battles, HA turned into heroway and GvG starting to suffer from the same problem).

It's not that I mind 1v1 PvP, as much as the fact the thought they'd rather make that instead of making PvP into PvP (as in player versus player).

ps: what troubles me more is the mentality of people who want to 1 on 1. In 100% cases of 1vs1 challenges that I've seen, the challenger (that is, a guy who pushed for 1 on 1) was ALWAYS a warrior who thought he has the best ever class build, the one build to rule them all. Now, needless to say, I beat all these wammos in GvG scrimmage, but not a single one of them accepted defeat.

.

there can be three types of 1vs1
-random 1vs1 (so u got to take an all round build that works vs different professions)
-profession 1vs1 ( mesmers vs mesmers, rangers vs rangers, etc)
-duel 1vs1 ( u against someone of your choice)

i'd love to see all three and they are the only pvp that could ever interest me..

I made a thread about this, so many people are just being stupid about it.

Quote:

The time to create a 1v1 RA could be spent on more pressing issues in the game. 1v1 like many other above me has stated would just be rock papers scissors. Furthermore, the arena would have even more pvp noobs than the current RA, with everyone bringing farming and running builds. So basically in order to win a 1v1 RA build, you either have to wait a long time until your opponent leaves or bring stance removal, enchant removal, running skills/snares, etc. etc. Please, we've got enough noobs in RA as it is, no need to make it worse.

Obuisuly you Can understand and are Ignorant and Second Something like this you should know more out of all of us that it shall "NEVER" be Implemented lol. You might as well Go outside get on your knees and wish that 5 billion dollars fell fromt he sky.

But back on Topic adding this would just Ruin the Game. the Game is unbalenced and Ruin as much as it is now we dont need more Crap ruining it. Also there is a 1 vs 1 Arena or so called Allrdy added In case all of you out there cant Read.

"WE CALL IT Guild Hall Scrimages" Get your friends together GO there and Fight all you want 1 vs 1. So I see no point in Wasting Programming Power to something we allrdy have

WHEN ClearLY SO MANY OTHER ISSUES NEED DEALING with. Titles Grinds Skill Balences RA AB Leachers Newbe System Teaching Bugs BOTS Ebay Gold Selling Better Trade systems ETC ETc the List Continues.

Actully This Idea is just Stuipd Pointless and Stuipd Really.

I use to One vs One untill I came to a Realization and now hero Battle my Friends I want to Pwn.

Guildswars is a Team Based Game. Builds used with Others to Maximize Killing and Surviving Power if you want to put it like that.

Adding a One vs One Arena would Narrow Down the builds List to 2 or 3 Classes Dominating the Arena.

For Example...

Ever Heard of Daze? Long Enough Effect and I Own ALL Spell Casters. Ever Heard of Rips? or just Some Idiot on a D/E or E/D or What ever it is that Takes all 4 of us in RA just to Kill. Adding Something like this Would Ruin Game play and Tatics and "Real Builds" For sure. Just Like RA and AB for Example have been Ruined.

Lets not Ruin it Even more plz.

/NO SIGN EVER WOOOT 1 vs 1 Can be Done in your Guildhall if you Suck that Bad

Now, the only smart people that posted >.>

wow i really don't understand the community... ya'll shut down any idea that may add something NEW to the game... look if there was a pvp random 1v1 arena there would be nothing forcing you to play in it...

yes there would be lots of silly builds but is that not the point of guild wars?

adding function to the game would increase interest and replay value.

Quote:

Hey, if you're going to PvP, might as well have the option of going solo along with everything else, huh?

Maybe even put down a giant free-for-all in Guild Wars 2. That'd be interesting to see, but so many people would be crying foul. Ah well.

For some reason, most of this community shuts down any new idea. They think GW is flawless as it is >.>

That doesn't work in GW unless your block secondary profession usage, which I don't think would happen.

In other words, Dervish vs Dervish can turn into Dervish using Mesmer skills vs Dervish using Dervish skills. Guess which one will win.

Also, the problem is - most battles would end up in a draw since everyone would be running 6 defense skills.
