PvP zone needs an element of chaos - please allow duos (group cap: 2)!

As of now, mostly everyone is standing around in the same spot, dueling the same people all day long.

The most fun is when some caster comes along and shakes things up - but they get shut down so quickly because everybody has each others backs. The unwritten rules that we all play by are taking away all the exciting action.

I propose allowing groups of max 2 players, which means soloers won't be completely rolled over as they will surely continue to have each others backs. This would introduce the element of chaos which makes PvP so much fun, in my opinion. I imagine it would also spread out the action more.

I realize a main concern has to do with not wanting to draw away too many players from NF, and I think the group cap of 2 would ensure that as well

If you get bored by the solo zone, go frontier solo, get rolled over by 5-8 a couple of times and then come back more happily enjoying the zone again

Btw i agree, if its just a few players it is pretty static, the more are in the zone the more exciting the action. Give it some weeks, some solos that quit over the last months will come back and when we got 20+ in the zone the action is great.

I agree, PvP zone needs some spice!
It’s only fair duels now with high RRs and/or great dueling classes.

Which is ok but gets boring quick

To stop the duels there needs to be incentives to fight quickly and haphazardly so that 1v1v1s happen and 1v2s etc... this also brings in lower RRs and non-dueling classes who in the current set-up get no kills and no RPs.

Therefore, a timer that gives increased RPs when u kill within first 2min of entering zone. Or some mini-tasks (capture flag, weather storm, etc)

stop trying to destroy solo game ffs! what we need is zergers mind their own business....

Wed 8 Jul 2020 2:03 PM by Sepplord

well, apparently most are minding their own business and the dueltowns go unreported

Damn ... how many threads can be made where the same people have the same argument?

at low pop with less than 5 players in the zone, there is not much else you can do, than meet at one point and fight there...

Recently it worked pretty well to not zerg down adders at sight tho, which was a huge problem in frontier bow towns.
When i was on they usually got killed 1v1, which is about as much as they could hope for.
