yea, some nvn and gm melee.

nvn were really fun. gm melee were too expensive in serious dueling.

at some point i also dueled at ww barb vs ww barb games. it were fun also.

I think what puts alot of people off is when they join a duel game and meet the regular lvl 99 sweats with 5 different 1mill fg builds who only play to boost their ego in random duel games.

Back in the day we always had like duel/duell/duels/duelz/duel me ++ games up all the time because people would join duel games with their mf chars just to have some fun.

Now these wannabe world tournament elites have ruined the pub duel scene imo. Thankfully hh, kitana and them boys have made pub duels way more active lately :love:

New players should not even know what GM duels is, nk happens all the time in random pub duels, if you cant handle it then thats on you.

Trust me, a new player would rather join a game and get into 6 different random duels and lose, than just go 20x 1v1 vs some sweats that will tell him he needs 100k fg to get started.

Its better for them to join a random game where people just have fun and then if they want to, can join "the real pvp scene".

Hulk Hogan is playing d2r dueling? Also, rand vs rand and if Ergol says they're rands on warlocks nking noobs then yeah, they're doing the exact opposite.

Just because someone is better than you doesn’t make them a sweat. Most of the high end duelers I’ve met are super chill. The bm duelers are super high strung and try hard while also having shit mechanics. At least vs good duelers new players have an opportunity to learn if they are willing.

All the good gm players are willing to take time to help newbies and teach them stuff, instead over the overweight 30+ year old bmers who laugh to themselves and 1 other friend (the only friend they have in the entire world and through the PC). They'll nk someone and snort like a little piggy. Good thing most bmers actually suck a lot at dueling and if you catch them off guard and their fingers aren't on the juv keys, they die easily.
