Resolved New dueling sets

DeletedUser33947

With the new dueling sets around, Can you still win while using non-set clothes?

Certainly. It is question of your stances and whether you have a skill set that is suited to defeating the fancy-dressed opponent in question.

Yes, it just makes it a little more challenging. Actually, one would need a really good combo of a couple sets to have a noticeable advantage. But since the luck factor is so strong in duels now, you can still be competitive with other duelers. And in time I am sure you can buy some set items of the market ;)

You don't need a combination of sets. Doc's set alone adds more points than the Chinga's/Doc's combination, but more of them are in shooting so it depends what you're going for.

With the current duel system you can win duel wearing "old" clothes without any problem. Duel system now relies more on luck then skills.

Heres an interesting but scary thought. If they fixed dueling to be meaningful you do realise the kits will make all the difference and any kind of balance will no longer exist. If you don't have the gear you would not win a thing..

Thats a paradox ive been getting more and more bothered about, you have it random and meaningless or you fix it and have about 80% suddenly very angry they cant win a thing...

Damned if you do & damned if you don't... :hmf:

Then people who paid ridiculous amounts would get upset because they 'wasted' their money. Unless you are able to maintain a pretty decent bonus on the set, those who own the sets will also get mad.

Just thinking aloud here, I realise there may be a huge problem with this idea that I just haven't thought of, but...

There is one way you could solve it without nerfing the sets OR having the sets skew duelling the way Vic mentions if they fix duelling to be meaningful...by introducing a new, long, tough, fierce quest (in the way that was suggested here and there when the sets were first released) with reward items that are broadly equivalent to the sets. That way the non-nugget users could eventually restore enough of a balance to keep interest, even if it took them a good while, without the set owners feeling they had wasted their r/l cash?

Joseph, the problem is about the dueling algorithm and not the sets that much. If the dueling system changes then the sets should be changed also. It is not about the nugget users as much as it is about the dueling system which relies to much on the "unknown" side.
