The duel part of the pub map

[Cornelius]

The duel part is too small for wbs. It gaves too much advantage for rushers and suiciders. If you miss a shot and they rush you, thats it, you are dead. theres not enough space to run or escape. Also since there arent "no counts" kills , when someone is winning like 2-0 all he has to do is to suicide so it can end like 5-3 or 5-4. Also theres too many rocks. I love rocks and I play well with it. but some people don't.

Also wheres the duel box on the map for jav dueling?

I think these things are pretty obvious and were already noticed by many ppl, but why it hasnt changed yet? it seems like a simple thing to do.

Kisses! :*

The idea behind the small box is that we wanted duel in pub to be more arcade, quick'n'dirty, less "official", not like in ?go duel. As everything, if players really want it bigger than.. The "no count" should be implemented soon. About the jav area, it is ready but we may add more type of area at the same time and those are not ready yet. This is why it's not up yet.

can we have small base arenas to have duels in with like jav/spider/weazel/terr/shark or something like that??

I see, my friend. Looks like you are taking care well of the pub. This circle duel area affects some gameplay, people run in circles, couldnt it be changed to a square?

[Diakka]

the whole map is a circle

Mega, you obviously didn't know why they made it this small. If you can't figure that out on your own ...

[Cornelius]

the whole map is a circle

yes, the whole map is a circle and the lookings of the entire map is nice with these smalls circles around, however dont you agree that its better to have a nice look and simultaneously a nice gameplay?

The current duel area is so small that it affects the gameplay and some skills. The luck factor got bigger and the skill factor got smaller. We want a fair game play and the good player to win, right?

I understand the idea of the duel being fast, more arcade. And this idea is nice and I agree that it need to be this way. But it can be done without being a disavantage to the players.

People want to play a nice, fun, fair and enjoyable duel.

The current duel area is a bit smaller than the radar, to 5 ,counting suicides, and is a circle.

these factors together make the duel, hum, not very... playable.

Making the duel a square, the size of the radar, is going to change small many things. the duel is going to still be fast and everything, as we want to , its going to add a small area to the corners, people are going to be able to use more their skills, by bouncing on walls and run straight, not on circles, where you lose considerable energy to do the movement and whos rushing can just gain advantage by running using a smaller circle radius. If this small change is done, it will improve the gameplay and the fun for everyone.

The entire map is a circle, yes. but it doesnt affect the gameplay because since its so big the curve isnt so concave! ppl arent in constant interaction with the borders, people play on base, different than the duel.

Just because the basemap is a circle, the duels dont need to be a circle too,right?

I mean, I agree, the squares would look ugly when you press ALT to see the entire map.
but I'm sure there are many ways to make it look atractive. It doesnt need to end on the square, it can be made another shape around it or any other design. Any idea?

i say make the dueling circle just slightly larger with a few less rocks, it doesnt need to be the size of the .?go duel arenas but mega is right, its too small

The rock border is really dumb as well. I've seen plenty of times where people just find a rock on the outside perimeter and just sit behind it being completely unkillable. I realize that the border of the pub map is rocks but I personally feel the duel arenas shouldn't sacrifice gameplay to complement the main map.

think gran might be on to something here! maybe a mini basing league? like separate mini pub squads compete in mini tournaments in the mini basing? mini??????????
