1V1 PVP Combat And Smaller Ra/Ta Arenas

Hi the title says most of what i want to say for many reasons

For Example in all types of pvp (Ra,Ta and Ha) all ppl do it mob 1 person at once making it abit of a unfair chance.

just think how much more fun 1v1 would be without having to worry about several others attacking you

the second thing that i find anoying is people running off in ra and ta when they are the only 1 left wasting time and making them look like a fool.

tell me what you think ppl

So you want an arena with 1v1? like TA/RA got 4v4?

uum... well I dont know rly, guess it would be fun, but I also think there'd be some consequences :s

Hi. Team game. Bye.

P.S. If you want 1v1s, go scrimmage.

well i acualty should of been more prosise when i posted yes you can scrimmage but i ment competitive 1v1 like for some sort of title points and balth faction

Scrimmages is pretty local, amirite? 1v1 arena is global.

Well when I started to play, and got used to how things work, I loved to invite people for 1 vs 1 fights...was always fun.
In competitive way..maybe fights that last up to 3 rounds, and in between you can change builds or something like that

1v1? Hell no! The whole pvp part of the game is balanced around 4v4 and (for the bigger part) 8v8 combat.

All you would get is ... rock-paper-scissor, where earth ele tank is paper, curse necro/mesmer scissors and SF assassin the rock, plus some occasional riposte wammos and other fail builds.

And the point of this would be...? To teach players to rage/QQ when they get owned in the rest of the team-based formats?

If you want an easy title with bad game play, just go play HB while it's still up. I hear people are making points there easy with the whole Red Resign thing.

I can imagine 1v1 being very, very unfun, actually. No thanks.

Bad idea has two problems

Problem 1 Skills are not Balanced for 1v1

Problem 2 Meta would be "Dominated" by Domination Mesmers

I think it would be fun if they had a dueling mode where a person could challenge you even if it was restricted to pvp towns. I don't really see making it a ranked pvp format though.

The whole draw to Guild Wars is that unlike almost every other MMO out there (especially WoW, no offense), the PvP is VERY balanced and requires a lot of skill. If there was a 1 v 1 mode, it would be way too class based and there would be almost no fair fights whatsoever. People would Q.Q when they get owned in a 1 v 1 fight and then be discouraged from ever trying that class again.

more defy pain spear chuckers in pvp ... NTY!!
plus 95% of people will probly have 7 heals 1 e-management 1 spammable dmg

No.... seriously, why would this be considered? As noted, it becomes a rock-paper-scissors game. Warrior would get pwned by Ele (blind), Mesmer (Empathy, Clumsiness, etc.), Ranger (cripple+degen), etc., etc., etc. Yes, second class can alleviate some of those concerns, but not all, and not enough.

Besides, I believe this has been suggested in the past, but you probably didn't do a search...

well in 1v1 things like palm sin wont be as effective and thats one build everyone hates in pvp

True, but having a 1 v 1 mode won't change that at all. Palm sins will still piss those people off just as much.

Believe me, a 1 v 1 mode would just make everyone extremely mad. People would love the idea of it before it came out but then what would happen is certain skills and classes would just suck or be overpowered in it, and then people would demand that these skills be buffed/nerfed because of that and it would screw everything up in general.

1v1 and both people have the same bar (dragon ball arena style) and you have a yes. Anything else, and you have a no.

I honestly think a 1v1 arena setting would be damaging. Guild Wars isn't balanced for 1v1. Hell, it isn't even balanced for 4v4.
Even 8v8 balance is a bit stretched.

You're playing the wrong game.

Defy Pain wammos,blind bots,crit def sins UNITE!!11111

Terrible idea. I think I even remember Gaile saying there was no way they'd put 1v1 in.
