UO Second Age

poll

As much as I love dueling I think it will take away from the feel of the old game. I think the tournament system is plenty and that keeps ranks right? I think dueling systems also take away from field fighting.

If people want to duel, stick to Jhelom Farms, Wrong, or Minoc caves. All those places are great dueling spots and have risks/rewards.

UO is all about risks vs rewards and taking out risks with the dueling system takes away a little part of UO.

I agree with Ironfist.

said best right there

dueling would not allow more then 1 duel organised per player per hour, good way to train for pvp with out risk, great fun.

The whole point is we WANT risk. That's what makes UO exciting. No risk = boring.

If people want to train PvP, they can duel friends in their house, duel strangers at Jhelom farms, or join an order/chaos guild.

and pk's camping the dueling areas for these pvp ladders wouldn't be risk?
max no one is asking for a trammy safe duel zone.. at least i'm not
go to the thread in suggestions forums about this: you'll see my idea of making wrong lvl 3 a duel pit withsome sort of NPC who keeps track..
i agree with you on your points, but take it from somebody who participated in many of the tourneys.. you will duel people who use gimp tactics and are more concerned with winning than having fun.. if you had a choice- wouldnt you choose NOT to duel them? hence the idea of a pvp ladder..

agree with ironfist

As long as anyone can come up and gank you to spoil the fun, sure, why not.

I would have voted yes for this.
Field PvP has never and still doesnt exist on this shard.
Order/Chaos seems to be simply for looks around this shard.
None of you "pvpers" who voted no on this even go out and fight.
ALSO the same 3-4 people sign up for the tournys everytime, where are
all you guys at that say the tourny system is ok? Getting dull to me.



Maybe you guys are under some crazy thought that this shard has many people out there looking to pvp, just not the case. I think it would be a good idea for now, and then do another vote when its more popular and then maybe your idea of having pvp hot spots for dueling would be accurate.

EDIT: btw the shard has very few people that can pvp with some skill, so the risk on this shard is already at bare minimum. I think adding a place to have ranked duels would INCREASE risk more than take it away. A known place where people go to duel.... sounds like a great pk spot to me..

bomb is right. i do not duel/pvp at all right now. i'm making my bard/tamer. the whole pvp/ranking system would not affect me and my game play right now. for those out there that are actively pvp'ing deserve some sort of system to faciliate matches of some sort.

but again, i like the shard as it is currently. it is authentic. it will take time for pvp'ing to build up a base of players who do it on a regular basis. i would for sure if i was developing a different character.

in the future, when the decision will affect more people, is the time when a decision on whether or not a ranking/fighting system should be implemented

ps. all votes besides the affirmative (#1) choice should be counted as 'no' votes
