An idea for melee duel...

Post by atro city »

I was thinking about how duel could be more fair and I thought of something: why not make it so that there's an option so that when you kill someone, your health is replenished to 100(like vampire, but better)? This does two useful things:

1. Makes for more fair duels instead of lopsided ones due to HP.
2. Gives people another incentive to go out and kill somebody instead of hiding in the shadows when they get hurt.

Just throwing a bone out there.

The only problem is that it might start up something called Predator. When someone gets damaged he will run and wait for another person to get damaged a lot. Then he jumps in and steals someones kill so that he gets healed. This also could cause a problem with heartbeats. If someone has a fast one everyone is going to chase him around so that they can heal. This could be a good mutator though.

Part of being good is minimizing damage to yourself while dishing out the damage to others, so by that right you can still beat the guy that avoids battle until everyone but one person is dead, as long as you're better than him.

Also, most players count by kills and not wins. You don't get more kills by letting other people do the killing.

TBH I think the team wants to keep duel pure (meaning not changing it much). However with Relics, the Vampire one, you get the same effect.

My best guess is to try to find a mut that does something simular. Duel has a community around it which is great. But right now its small and often has people that want to go in different directions (increase this damage up, increase that down, ect) so we don't really want change anything ATM. But we do want to support you guys as well...so its something we dont have any good answers for...
