Ok....


I have seen some Epic Jedi / BH duels lately...


The question isn't is this person over powered or that person terrible at PvP:


My main question is:


Should Duels involving Lightsaberstake40+ minutes?


Mace Vs. Jango - about 12 seconds...

Luke Vs. Boba -about 15 seconds...


Irea Vs. Dizzel - 39 minutes....


This is becoming a major time sink.


I thought Battles were supposed to be shorter and funner after the CU.

Well.. unless you wanted to watch a 12 hour movie this is how long the fights needed to be.

Ya ya - This isn't a question about "how cool the dude was". Most of the BH's we've been coming across are cool dudes...


This is a question about game mechanics...


I think duels should last between 5-10 minutes tops...


Lightsabers cut through blast doors...






Well you wanted an answer. You must be a bit upset that they last a long time.


I was just trying to answer your question.


Again, I have no problem with the attack. If they last that long then they last that long.

first of all i could care less how long the duels last...duels are silly in my opinion but only imo. secondly, i'm on the chilastra server and i'm not sure what you guys are talking about but precu battles were very short because of dots and unbalanced weapons. i'm talking pvp here. you couldn't go anywhere overt without getting dotted or blasted by the best weapons in the game(notice i said weapons and not players). the goal of the cu was to balance the weapons and promote group fighting, with every prof having a role. dueling wasn't considered.


i perhaps am in the minority cause i have heard lots of complaining about long fights. i love long fights and don't have a prob with them at all. 20, 30, 40 minutes, np. this is bh vs jedi i'm talking, not dueling.


and don't forget that dueling pre cu consisted of a list of conditions like "no using dots" or "no healing, no armor". if people had used armor the fights would have been just as long. now jedi vs. jedi i don't know, but you have to look at the whole big picture, not just jedi dueling one vs one.


...also group pvp is great fun now, and that's what should be promoted, and i'm not a jedi nor do i have one.

In the past month my duels / attacks by a BH and faction PVPhave lasted from 4 hits to 2 hours! (not died to a BH)


Is no way IMHO that they should last so long, but then the longer you fight, the more you learn, the shorter your fights get in the long run. Long fights are a pain in the bum for the most part, but they happen from time to time. Only way to change that is to make Jedi or BH or who ever is attacking more powerful, and this is not going to happen.
