Hello everyone! First of all congratulations staff for the duelling system, I think it's great! I have a suggestion to make it even more attractive and fun: You could automatise a reward where both duelist bet 1k and the winner gets the money. This would get the winner a nice free restock so he can keep fighting. It would also be a good way to earn money for pure pvp guys who don't want to farm (I know a few of hem! hahaha) Perhaps the duel menu could include an option to make a bet for 1k, 2k or 5k for example, but with a standard minimum of 1k for all duels. I think this would stimulate the duelling! Please post your opinions!
Ive seen bet systems included, and i also believe its a neat addition for both spectators and participants, they should do it with theyr own money however. Automated rewards... well... they could be abused VERY easy, especially with a reward of 1k per won match (seriously, i could imagine guilds generating TONS of money like this) Is good imo, but maybe needs some adjustment. There once was a free-to cost dueling system here, means that ppl wouldnt use reagents... It ended up in people macroing magery for free in the pits, you see where this is going lol
I'm totally on board for a betting option. Just make it a checkbox on the sign-up gump and if selected, players get prompted for a bid amount to agree upon. The money remains banked and will deposit to bank, or withdraw, on match completion. Let the monetary limit be a mil, just like checks, but obviously you'd need to have the gold in your bank to bet that high.
Erza what I ment is that the money should be taken from the duelist, like Blaise said with a bank transfer, so there wouldn't be an option to farm and abuse the system.
I REALLY like this idea! Let us hope Chris can find time in the many many good ideas hes had/has to go through and picks this to work on/take a look at atleast soon! @Chris Just a little peekaboo, dont have to promise us anything
