Yeah, currently Tuck is 5th, but he was 2nd when I opened page with duels (in the morning, before I went out). Still lulz

Yeah, that is a problem with starting an ELO system. Because everyone starts at the same rating, you gain more points in the begining because the bad players ratings are higher then they should be. Not to mention all the people who arent duelists have been in their lately because of the strategus battles. Two days ago, I played about 10 duels, went 7-3 or so and was in the top 25. As the system matures, players won't be able to take advantage of beating people at stock ELO (first ranked fight) because they will only gain like 1 point or possibly 0.

duels are a joke in crpg, cmp even admitted you guys know it and dont care about it.

why implement this? write some code that nerfs range instead.

Duel is overall boring, yes. Give me a 1v3 anyday, though. Some people are fun to fight like Saul and Rhaelys or gimmick fights (1h stab only duel ftw!)

Alot happened since 2 days ago, u cant just go 7-3 atm and get top 25. U need more than 310 to just make it to the list atm. And at 250-300 points, noone at stock ELO will give u any points.

Gimmick fights are the best. Back in November (I think) last year Darth_Maul and I had full plate duels with practice longswords. The catch? No blocking, overheads only. Was a chamber-fest.

No more fun stuff like that anymore, though.

I have done a few more duels since then and I am at like 320ish right now and sitting in 28th. This is for NA though, its possible not as many duels are occuring as in EU.

1 thing I noticed that might need somethign changed about is different lvls in the duels. I retured this week and was only lvl 22 when the duel counts started.

It does not appear to take lvl into account. I am fighitng 30 and highers. Doing relatively well. But giving a lot of levels away and gain/loss of points does not seem to matter.

I beat a lvl 30 gain 10 points because I have more duel points. I get 1 shot in the next fight and drop 20.

Yeah it doesnt take that into account, im nearly 100% sure. I dueled for lols on my alt, and it seemed to be the exact same as my main. (he is lvl 23)

It's a cool feature but cRPG is just bad for duelling imo.

[Vodner]

Duels were a lot more fun before a significant portion of players started obsessing over their rankings. I did manage to have some fun gimmicky wedding dress/robe/cudgel/staff duels yesterday, though.

I wish you could choose to just abstain from rankings.

The rankings bring more harm than not. First off cRPG is really the last place for competitive dueling, it's mostly about just how much armor, IF and PS you stack, everything is shit slow anyway so duels can last forever and winning is about who gets the lucky spam hit or kick in and it's more of a patience/luck game like I said in the last post. The EU3 server has become a den of win greedy people who play the style that grants them wins but is absolutely boring to duel against. Not to mention EU3 with more than 8 people on is a lagfest and everything is extra delayed (on top of already delayed cRPG, which in comparison to native is as if you were playing on North American servers).

i need way more than 8 people before i can feel a different on the server.

Btw its a luck/patience game?.  All of my duels is pretty damn short, and i dont spam randomly, i never ever kick and i dont have much patience. But yet im doing great. I guess im just lucky then ?
