Neutral Dueling Area ( Cross Faction )

Post by Outskilled »

i haven't looked through so i don't know if this has been said before but is it possible to have a zone set where alliance and horde can go "from the teleporter" and it will make them natural and able to duel across factions but not able to fight each other outside of duels. somewhere like the big ice patch in winterspring. just a thought.

I think this would be a great idea but I asked Henhouse about this before and he said it's really difficult to make a zone where Horde/Ally can't attack eachother until they duel. I'd be happy if CD's reset when you duel someone again or if they added a teleporter to an open zone like Auchidon.

Set a zone to sanctuary, and change the duel function to allow duelling in that zone no matter if its sanctuary or not, henry is sometimes not smart :$:$:$ he knows i love him tho :D

The reason is due to the way the current sanctuary flags work, not because I'm stupid, but because I actually know... The flags in the TBC core don't support hostile players in a sanctuary no matter what. You used to could duel in the mall, or I mean, start a duel. But once it began you both were friendly. Because of people stupidity we finally added a check to disable the starting of duels in the mall which prevented this issue. So the only way this will change is if we backport a lot of unneeded code to support that. Which I don't want as in Wrath it causes you to have to wait 20-seconds to logout, etc.


I've ever been fond of cross-faction dueling. It takes away from PvPing outside city zones and simply homogenizes the server even further, yet you all ask for Horde and Alliance separation, that does not help.

Seriously, what prevents you from dueling outside of Shattrath?
Sometimes the community has to achieve something on its own, and it doesn't even take a lot of effort to do so in that cases.

Other players disturbing your duels maybe? And Crossfaction healers.

i know that some but not all people at least ask for separate zones but there would also be a majority that would welcome the sight of cross faction dueling in a friendly environment where neither faction is able to hit one another outside of a duel. cross faction healing can only occur from shamans with chain heal and as i have saw in the past it is not hard to set the teleporter to unlearn a spell and relearn it upon exit, once in a duel you can not be healed apart from chain heal and other aoe healing spells, although a bold move it would negate such actions. would it be such a struggle to ask for this "zone"? mealy posting as it would be a great addition to the server none the less

Well it's a PvP server, of course people can interfere, but I'd say that's part of the whole server setting (and I really miss that feature atm...).

Crossfaction healing is a problem of course, and GMs can't act the second it has been reported. Grouping in general messes dueling up aswell, as a group benefits from any group buffs, even while in a duel.
These things need to be fixed, but I guess when it comes to quick duels with people you know from the opposite faction it shouldn't be an issue.
