But how many times are we gonna kick this dueling dog?
...
That is very simple, until most duellers duel the way InnoGames intent.
Low-motivation duelling was not intented

But how many times are we gonna kick this dueling dog?
...
If you saw this:
Player X Stats
Jobs: 60k+
Duels: 2900+
Quests: 600+
Prayer: 1000+
Fort Fights: 2
If I saw those stats I would think, huh...that player participates in every aspect of the game except Fort Fighting. I wonder why that is. That player must think Fort Fighting is really dull, or not user friendly, or he has some other issue with Fort Fighting that is not apparent in the numbers.
i have put forth Ideas on how to change FFing so that more players will play like me...
I dont have the time to wait 24hours to FF.
I wasn't online during the FF, yeah, because I have a family and a job and I can't say I will for sure be online 24 hours after a FF is initiated.
Again nobody has responded to my thoughts on how to Revamp FFing. Nobody.
Not one response.
1 but we already have adventures? more can join, whats stopping people from looking weak and then bringing in the big guns?Here are my thoughts again on FFing. Reply to this PLEASE!
I am an active player that plays all aspects of the game...except FFing.
Why? Because the Fort Fighting on here is terrible.
Gotta wait 24 hours to fight? Can only FF if some town digs on a fort?
You have to get a 'rank' to fight in a fort Battle?
Forts are owned by Towns?
Fort Fighting is what is broken. Fix Fort fighting.
1) Run fort fighting more like adventures, you get 20 people on each side, start the battle in 15 mins. Then more can join if they want.
2) Change number 1 would eliminate the 'digging' on a fort.
3) eliminate ranking as a requirement to FF.
This is an elitist attitude and I have been denied a chance to Fort Fight by players who then laughed at me and told me to go duel.
4)Forts owned by towns? Why? Because of the building?
Maybe have forts owned by counties, and instead of losing the fort just have a Win/Loss record posted for the fort. Then each county will have a some incentive to keep their forts protected.
Just a couple of thoughts on how to REALLY fix the problem with FFing.
Let the Players decide how to play the game.
The Developers job is to create the structure of the game.
Low xp dueling has been a very important part of The West since it's inception. Players figured out very early that dueling for xp was lame.
The best duelers I have known in the 5 years I have been playing were All low xp duelers.
Let me name just a few, Blackmax, YosammitySam, Bugz...
2 of those 3 have quit the game after the 3mot update. And Blackmax recently went on an extended vacation...we'll see if he continues to play after this new 'update'.
....Minecraft...MineCraft....Minecraft..
REFORM FORT FIGHTING if you want to bring The West back to its former glory and leave dueling alone.
As a dueler I can tell you that having a 450 duel lvl and dueling the same 10 players everyday has absolutely no appeal to me. Boring.
What's the point of honor values? They don't seem to explicitly affect anything, as far as I can tell.
I'm not a fan of players disappearing from the duel menu after a week- on small worlds, that literally means many duelers will have 15 targets on the whole map unless they're willing to micromanage their character 24/7. Definitely not a positive change.
The formula changes are a huge positive. It's about time something other than a resistance arms race or pure aim/dodge was a viable build.
...
The hiding in the duel screen penalizes duelers again since they need to search every single saloon/ sheriff and find their players. Fort fighters should search each fort to find the initiated battle and adventurers need to scroll entire counties to find their job since that's basically what duelers have to do.
Or you could just duel those on the duel screen... but maybe those are too hard for you? Or too dangerous, because they actually duel. Again, it seems that duellers just want the easy targets...
It's more a matter of actually wanting some targets at all. There are a lot of players who only have a dozen players in their range that actually duel.
