Do you prefer pistols or swords?

Rek Seven wrote:Nice feature. You could record stats of someones dueling history so they can display it on their character sheet with pride.
That's an interesting idea.
Malrock wrote:All fine for fun, but please, put under game client generic options a checkmark for auto declining all duel requests.
Thank You.
This is certainly something we could do, similar to the 'Auto Reject Invitations' chat option

- If lucky, gank target with an overpowered ship
- Profit
You can only have one pending challenge at a time, precisely because blindly spamming local with multiple challenges at once is something we want to avoid.
Valkyrs wrote:Looks interesting! Can you disable keyboard input on the window? If I'm yammering away in chat while I'm undocking from Jita with a boat full of goods, I would be quite upset to accidently start a duel.
Alternatively, allow users to block duel outright, or have a 1 minute timer where users can cancel the duel before it starts, or put it in a duel menu or something.
Please have some precautions.
Keep up the good work!
That is something we're aware of, and will try to make sure doesn't happen. The default action on hitting Return is to refuse the challenge.

Very well. Bring your best Strip Miner and I'll see you at dawn.

This is not a thread about the POS system, thanks. Please allow this thread to be about the contents of the blog.

That's a common error, in the first few minutes after a new Dev Blog has been published. AFAIK it's automatically corrected. Or if not then CCP has a manual procedure for fixing it.
This is caused by the fact that we need to publish the blog to be able to put the link in the comment thread and then we need to attach the comment thread to the blog and republish it. There's 30 seconds of cache issues after the republish causing the blog to come up as blank or the link leading back to the blog. It's a little bit silly but tolerable in the grand scheme of things :)

I blame placeholder text and the fact we haven't done an content review pass on this yet. ;)

"settle our difference in single combat without interference..."
That's a lie. You really need to phrase that more accurately.
Otherwise, I think it's a great step to blappage. Can you challenge multiple people to a duel and have 4v1 battles or 4v4 battles?
As much as anything in EVE can be done without interference, I think this is valid.
And yes, you can challenge multiple people in turn. As soon as the first one accepts, you can move on to the next until everyone is engaged as you wish.
Aurelius Harrison wrote:Quote:However, if the target accepts the challenge, then a 5-minute Limited Engagement is created between the two characters. Question for clarification. is this 5 minute timer the time in which combat can start? Or a limit on how long the fight can last? I can't imagine many fights created this way lasting more than 5 minutes but it could happen.
It is the time during which combat may start. As soon as one party is shooting the other, the timer is reset and paused at 5 minutes. Once they stop fighting, then the 5 minutes will start counting down. This can be repeated as often as necessary, so the fight can go on as long as you like, provided there is not a single pause for 5 minutes without any fighting.

Yes. As long as you set up the engagement before you start fighting so it becomes legal, you should be OK

Because a lot of people are asking (and it wasn't nailed down at the time of writing this blog) there will be a "Reject all duel challenges" option per character. This will be available via the ESCAPE menu, will default to OFF, is persistent across sessions, and is saved on the server rather than in client pref files. This should option should be on Singularity already (or will be as soon as the next patch lands)
A lot of people are asking for extra rules and contracts about warping, fleets boosters, betting, arenas etc etc. In general, most of these things can be provided by you, the players. Want to set up a legitimate betting agency with your own referees? Go ahead. Worried about gang boosters? Have the two combatants in fleet with each other only.
The aim of this feature is simply to restore some functionality that was lost in Retribution 1.0. We're not planning to do virtual combat in instanced arenas using magic rainbow bullets of love with spectators behind a magic glass wall. The best place for that is in the various special events such as the Alliance Tournament or the New Eden Open (or possibly on the test servers - though their only officially supported role is for testing)
