Duels

I am still pretty new to Glitch, but I absolutely love the humor in it. I think it would be kind of fun if a dueling system was implemented. You and a friend can choose to duel each other by using humorous items that can be built or found in the world like a Noodle shooting cannon or  Scrubbing their ears out with soap. It could include all the randomness and oddities that people have come to love with this game. Then the next time you and your friend get in a playful argument you can settle it with a little duel against one another. I just think it would be funny taking down your friends with funny, weird items in a challenge to see who is the top dog.

  • -1 one of the things I love about glitch is that other than the odd tiff in global or the forums, there's no 'fighting' per se...

  • I agree I like the fact that you don't run around killing things, but I think it would be fun if it was just a small mini-game between friends that could be played by perhaps using the Teddy Bear. Maybe an option for it that would say Duel.

  • It could be a water balloon duel. Or we could build up our Emo Bears like Mechs and have them fight.

  • Ooh, yes! I think the "mini-game" avenue would be the way to implement this. People've asked for more locations in the "race ticket" category and that'd be so perfect. That way people who didn't want to duel (which I do think is valid!) would not have to even deal with it at all. (Plus I personally think stuff like a noodle shooting canon and such is keeping in the Glitchy spirit. :) )

  • Exactly diaveborn and girlthulhu! There are so many different things they could do with Duels while still keeping the Glitch vibe that the rest of the game has. I just want to be able to go against my friends in perhaps the quirkiest battle ever imagined!

  • Oh, I miss the old to-the-death-splanking matches.  Those were fun  (all volunteer competitors)

  • There's another thread on this out there right now.  My opinion is still that I want no PvP in Glitch, even disguised as pillow fights.

  • Nah, not an idea I like. We have Game of Crowns and the Races. That's enough TS organised competition for me in a non competitive game like Glitch

    But this is a sandbox game. I'm sure a creative Glitchen could come up with competitions, tag where you soak the new 'It' for example. That's what the old to-the-death-splanking matches were - player created and player led

    You want games and competitions? Organise them

  • I can see the merit in an Emo-Bear Based game. Part of the joy of the bear is the in-your-face graphic. Now add a few choice items to that. Suddenly, you enter the arena with your bear. You coach him to throw:

    1)Noodle
    2)Fox Fiber
    3)Shiny Object With Little or No Intrinsic Value

    Fox fibers trump noodles, making them inedible.
    Shiny Object trumps fox fiber, covering it
    Noodles trump Shiny Object (splat)

    You know, with a few hilarious levels thrown in, best 3 outta 5, 7 outta 10, etc.

    AND I WOULD PAY TO PLAY :D (because I and many of my friends suck at races and game of crowns. We need some games for the dexterity-challenged, eh?)

  • "Auto-reject duel requests" is the first thing I turn on in most MMOs. (There always seem to be players hanging around quest hubs spamming duel requests in a sad epeen enhancement effort.)

    I'm not totally against PvP content (as long as it's optional), but I selfishly hope that TS doesn't go down that route because I'd prefer they focus on the parts of the game that I like to play.

  • what's funny is if they added this it would be extremely popular. everyone would do it just like cubimals. so you guys really need to think about things like this and how you basically just are sheep who like everything that they add. you're just afraid of teh word duel or pvp being in 'your' game where friendship means giving something that is worth nothing to someone by leaving it at their doorstep.
