    I think BP should get rid of the duels, all together!!, No insurance covers them anyways, and it ill not hurt any1 in the game to be without the duels. For those that want to prove who is better (usually to hush someone up about who is better,) do what has been done many times, go into corner of a zone an do it there,( we have had several of these (with Konflict and others) global most times will help out and refereeing it per say, but here is why we should ask for it to be taking away, anyone who knows what this pertains too wil know why i am not putting it out there, there is to many doing this whether it is perk or glitch , but this is 1 way to solve the issue once and for all. Most are refusing to use this tactic but some still do!! so please keep this going so BP hears our voices and finally does something about it instead of ,oh we knew about it (which they knew nothing of it!!!) oh its allowed oh its ok
    so please vote keep this going, keep the convos flowing

    when arena finish for the season, the guys that don't want to lvl up are using duels, why should they remove them? if you don't like the idea of them, don't do them, noone forces you to make a duel with him, just click the cansel box and dont do

    I don't understand why are you proposing this... Just don't use it if you don't want to...

    I don't see you giving any valid reason for them to eliminate this feature. You can't make a request for something to change without a valid argument against it. You are correct; there is no insurance that covers duels, but like niko said, no one is forcing you to hit the accept button. This idea should be removed unless you can give a specific reason for the change.
     
  5. The reason for removing duels, is because of a design flaw that is being exploited. It's actually the same thing niko is talking about with refreshing guild letter 50's, only you can refreshing bubbles and all other consumable items.
    When you are in a Guild island attack, you can leave the attack and duel someone, therefor refreshing your bubbles.
    This means a single player can bubble 4-6 times in the time it takes to destroy 2 sets of monsters and destroy the fortress. It's even faster if you have gold premium, as you can jump into your guild island once the duel starts.

    the only logical issue that you can propose is to make a special insurance for the duels, not to eliminate them

    You can go to arena with the same result and imho its quicker.

    If you don`t like it don`t use it.And also the arena does the same thing to your special items so if they remove duels they must remove arenas.And bigger ships give to smaler duels for skulls that is the other use of the duels. :)

    sounds like dueling is not the real issue, the exploiting is.

    Can't see where this feature causes any more problems then the already existing (edit) that are in the game now. (Slow and freezing ships and monsters.)

    i did not want to be the one to put this out there, but it is being exploited to the max , it is allowing guilds to use multiple bubbles in a guild attack, meaning that a guild can use (ive seen upwards of 5-10 bubbles being used by the same player, thus the reason for getting rid of the duel feature!! which means that if 10 players do this in a guild attack that it 10 bubbles being used multiple times so it can be upwards of like 50 bubbles being used in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes, pending on how many are using it and how many bubble they use(which it was never meant to be used like this)
    and as far as smaller players getting skulls, they can use open water(insurance covers) or port wars, there is always a port war
    as far as the arena doing the same thing, they cannot do it as fast and cannot be planned as the arenas are random and can take several minutes if not longer. so this would prevent them form using this tactic( glitch, exploitation, whatever you want to call it)
    but when 4-5 players can take level 50 island with anywhere from 10-30 defenders, something is wrong.:eek: i have a seen 1 player take level 50 island with 14 defenders , while using ( i believe it was like 12 bubbles in that attack!!
    this should never happen:mad:
    in the beginning only 1guild that did this (and only hand-full of them used it, because they knew it would kill the guild island attacks), now i am seeing as many as 3-4 guilds using this now :(.
    they dont understand( or they dont care that it is ruining the guild islands:confused:
    this is why i am proposing that BP take away the duel feature!!
    or if they dont want to take it away , put same kind of cool-down that the captains orders have( they do not reset going into or coming out of a duel, thus having the same effect-which is keeping players/guilds from exploiting a glitch that should Not be!!!

    I think your solution sucks, no offence. It doesn't solve the perceived problem. Nuff said. :)

    lol evil the same thing can be done with arena just as easily as other people have said... taking duels away wont make any difference. what really needs to be done is BP stick to their cooldown times and make it so that bubbles precis etc.... dont reload every time that you go into arena or a duel. its the only way that its gonna get fixed.

    i think that this is impossible too, if you are in one arena and you use protection, when you finish and you enter in the next you have to wait for the cooldown to start the fight? or you have to stay in the port watching your protection reloading and then join in arena?o_O
     
  16. Mac, bubbles have a 10 min cool down, Dueling someone won't make it recharge any faster. I dunno what you were thinking when you said that. o_Oo_O
