WoW: Battle Reports

Question, is dueling other players still pointless?

in the beta testing, nothing was ever gained by winning a duel with another player, game just said so and so wins the duel. i think you should be able to take something of the losers, or have both players bet something before they fight. lol

so that still the same in the final game?

Yeah duels are still pointless... I dunno, they might change it eventually but they havn't said anything about doing so...

It's really more for practicing your PvP skills, I guess...

Darkmaster, I finally found you. You have a pretty sweet elfven hunter on your hands there. Thanks for the advice about heading to the Westfall. There's lots to do and I'm up to level 19 and well on my way to 20. Unfortunately I have to head to work, but I'm going to try and put in an hour or so late night tonight when I get back.

I've heard PvP rewards are coming soon if I remember correctly

They're trying to implement the PvP honour system in the next patch. I guess that also gives bonusses for dueling. But not certain...

I've made a Night Elf Huntress just for fun. Class starts out pretty cool.

I don't remember them saying anything about dueling in the PvP honor system... I guess it could fall under that lil' umbrella there, but when I read about the PvP rewards I thought it meant horde vs. alliance, fight to the death wether it be out in the world or on the seperate Battlefield areas...

Although putting a wager of sorts on dueling could be neat... Although people could make that sorta thing up themselves... Loser gives winner 10s or what have you...

Most of the time, duelling is just fun. Especially when you beat someone 3 levels higher than you.

But the problem is, you never have proof of such a thing. If you would store in your account all the duels you've done, it would be enough for me.

So has everyone quit playing or has the novelty of posting about it just worn off?

I haven't played in a while. My free month ends in two days. I don't think I'll renew it immediatley, Even though Blizzard says it's the kind of game you can play for just a few minutes, in order to progress you really need to sit down for a couple hours and now that school is back in session I just won't have time. And I'd rather play WC3. Maybe when my next break comes I'll get back in it. Or during the summer. Until then, my pathetic level 10 Troll Shaman, Zarax, will just have to hibernate.

I still play it constantly...

I sorta abandoned my level 44 hunter (to return to it someday, perhaps) for a Warlock on Aggramar which only lasted until level 27 or so before I sorta ditched it and started a rogue on Mel'Ganis... Who's now 25 and I think I'll stick with longer than I did my Warlock...

Of course it's not as fun anymore as it was the first time I really found a character I was comfortable with (44 hunter), but it's still quite fun... *nods*

I still play, lvl41 hunter. I play about 1-3 hours a day, nothing major. You can make considerable progress in short amounts of time, just gotta know what to do and where to go. But you don't have to progress significantly each session to keep playing. There's no huge emphasis on lvl grinding like every other mmorpg, you can just come on and play around, and have fun.

I used to play FFXI as an addiction, feeling obligated to keep playing and progressing. But I play WoW like any other game; because it's fun.
