Not sure how this is exciting....it's not a duel when you can still have outside interference.....
Basically you are returning a functionality that you broke with crimewatch....Oops


Should have listened to me CCP.....Lol

No, that is not a point. It's a slippery slope fallacy based on pure ignorance of how the game works.

Restoration of lost functionality does not inexorably lead to instancing and insular protection, especially when nothing of the kind existed in either the original and the revamped implementation.

So the point remains: why are people so upset over the broken things getting fixed?

Nice lack of explanation there.
In what way is it not a restoration of lost functionality?

You want to fight someone in high-sec then what's the problem? Don't do it on station - oh look 99% of high-sec warfare fixed P


its called a fleet and wtm... so no not 99% fixed you ding bat!



Corrrect numbnuts it IS called a fleet.

Want a 1v1 then fleet up with opponent and warp off somewhere. Opponent brings in help then live and learn. Much like life outside the happy clappy bubble Lol

CCP, don't do this!

You are killing Zero-Zero / Lowsec-Solo PVP....

Whats next?
Duel between fleets?
Duel between corps?
Duel between alliances?

And there goes the sandbox...

No. So what on earth gave you the idiotic idea that it would ever happen under the new one?

You know… maybe it would help if you actually read what you're commenting on before posting. Oh, and if you understood some basic game mechanics before complaining about how something that has always existed is somehow new and scary…

All fine for fun, but please, put under game client generic options a checkmark for auto declining all duel requests.

Thank You.


I'm fine with this but for the love of Bob, this.

At least work in the option to force the duel to stop at 50% hull, if so chosen by one of the dueling parties.

people are still going to use OGB's and will have neutral or corp logi. because once you are in that safe spot... its too late.

and in the eventual case of OGB's being nerfed to on grid. people will use OnGB that are neutral in some aspect in high sec.

end of the day people will still get bent over anf ****** without the aggressor/challenger buying them dinner 1st.

You do realize that the 'slippery slope fallacy' argument does not somehow mean that it is now impossible that the feared result can never come about. It just means it is not automatically going to happen. Sometimes when they keep raising tuition, it really does climb to $40,000 eventually.

Pretty sure that wasn't accidental since CCP decided that the consequences of stealing stuff from a can would be disproportionate to the act itself, because they got tired of AFK miners being can flipped

Oh, well, I guess that's about as far as I'll read, then. Clearly this blog is not intended for me. I'll let the "most honorable" people read it, maybe they'll tell me what it says.

Allowing dueling just makes me think OMG this is WoW, now i have to turn on my auto ignore because i will be spammed with duel requests when in High Sec..

I guess for me this just takes away from the rep this game has as hard core, if you want to duel make a safe, drop a can and fight, no one will bug you, go to low sec and fight it out, jump into 0.0 or do it the hard core style and just attack the guy and kill him before concord gets you...

Is this duel system really needed? Stop the spam now before it happens.

There better be a way to block dueling requests altogether instead of by character. I'd hate to have people send out duel requests in the middle of a low-sec furball: "WTF GET THIS **** OUT OF MY FACE!!!"

CCP has no sense of humour.

Why not? To please our WoW refugee friends, we could add arenas, maybe add 'daily' missions. How about pets? The possibilities are limitless really. And more seriously, yes, like with every mechanic in Eve, people will find some way to abuse it.

It's not the announced mechanic that is bad, get it. It's the growing demand and thus the chance of a weird direction to MMO arena stuff.

If CCP declares here that there won't be a special pvp arena on TQ, I wouldn't care less about the "lost mechanic".

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.
