Sometimes in raids and even dungeons we spend much time waiting. In Eternal palace we could go free-for-all on the final boss and fight eachother.
This makes me wonder why we cannot duel other players in raids or dungeons? I think it would be nice addition to help ease the waits. We can pet battle which is cool but I was thinking there could be more additions.
Maybe toys that can enable more like the shell game, dueling, pet battles, toy races, ability to scry on popular location or even engineering radio so player can spam their favourite channels or activities as they wait instead of twiddling thumbs!
Be cool to see what you folks think about this, maybe you have your own idea also?
I never understood that change.
If I remember correctly they changed it at the start of WoD because people were questing in raid groups… God forbid people had fun doing the literal one thing they had to do a day.
I do not understand this change either, is quite unlikely we leave raids but now when you do walk outside there is tons of quests relevant to the content your working on.
Also realise you can walk outside for this stuff, or some of it anyway, yet don’t think it would hurt at all to have it indoors and we would get more practice in
I did think to myself what is the main problems? Like accident in pulling boss or unforseen buffs from toys breaking things - Maybe it would be possible to trigger encounters far more often via dialogue/console/filler RP item and it would reset everything and enable the boss.
Definently with premade tool we have longer waits, would be nice if we could keep players more engaged in the game and particularly with dueling, it really helps build new players into more experienced onces as they learn classes and awareness of what other players/npcs are doing rather than their own keybinds etc.
It would bring me great pleasure to watch stuff like this and unrelated -when big mouths start on everybody in raids/dungeons you can just /duel if it is your choice of settling a dispute
Issue with duels is, people’d use them to cheese by doing things such as getting resources and procs before combat or even pulling the fight with the duel still active so that honor talents are working. It’s a can of worms best left unopened.
I think it would be easily solved if activating the encounter completely reset stuff like this, it kind of does currently when we reset for hero etc.
I thought this also and it certainly would for things like trash mobs and other encounters, it would be hard to account for every little thing.
In a raid boss room however? I think that would be much easier to control and stop this stuff and it’s where many player spend the majority of time waiting.
I often jest that during disputes or disagreements that “lets meet behind this inn at current main hub”. Not that I am any good at duelling, or PvP in general, but I have done fair share of silly duels like - naked casters with melee weapons, and two healers, or two melee using only ranged spells … you know weird duels like that.
I have in past duelled co-tank while waiting raid start. And we spent good 25 minutes and ended in full HP … raid started. And people gathering at the entrance were like, “duuuuuddes … its more interesting watch paint dry than watch blood dk and guardian druid duel.”
