here is my other issue with the dueling update
it does nothing to fix the problem of sleep-duelers
who put all their skills into appearance, and then sleep in your towns hotel all day, popping out to do a duel and then going back to sleep in the hotel
it is IMPOSSIBLE to challenge someone to a duel who does that
regardless if I have to walk to their town or if I can just challenge them where they are on the map
so you claim the updates to the duel system will fix duelers setting up camp and harassing a town, because the town can all challenge them back
well, that is completely false
because most duelers who camp have became sleep-duelers
the problem with this is it makes it impossible for any player who is not PURE DEFENSE build to withstand an attack from a player who has 250 appearance and 0 tactics
so eventually, we will have two types of duel builds left in the world:
1. sleep-duelers who have some ridiculously high appearance
2. soldiers who have some ridiculously high tactics
soldiers will be the only ones who can stop pure appearance sleep duelers
they will have to put all their skills in tactics; if they split between tactics and appearance (so they can be strong in attack and defense) they will always lose when challenged by a pure appearance dueler
I see this as ultimately stagnating and ruining dueling
as a dueler, you have to choose whether you will be pure attack cheap sleep-dueler who hides in hotels all day and pops out to get wins and then immediately returns to sleep... or pure defense soldier with all tactics, who can only win duels when someone attacks them
so yeah, camping problem is not fixed by this update
so what does the update really do?
well one thing it does is completely change everything (rules, strategy, etc) that anyone who has been playing the past 1-2 years built their character around
another thing is it makes it much harder to be an attack dueler; because now when you are dueling people, you will constantly have to be worried about whether someone is challenging you while you are challenging someone else
before, I could look and see if someone is in my town trying to hunt me while I duel and hunt myself
now, I approach a town and anyone in that town could potentially be attacking me; there is no way to gauge if someone is hunting you
