Fixing the duel

Feb 21, 2015 by Jouix
What I personally find annoying is the stream of people who bash those of us who really want the duel back.. saying how useless it is and how randomize will never bring it back and people need to shut up about it.. well no, the site won't even be having updates right now if people didn't speak up.. if Johneh didn't get in touch with randomize and get the ball rolling and we all kept our mouths shut nothing would be done about anything..

Also those who bitch about how the same people win duels and how nobody would play it after the initial buzz.. how about trying to be a bit creative and thinking of ways to solve that problem rather than accepting it?

Anyhow I would like to put a little idea forward.. god knows if it'll be considered but it's worth putting it out there:

How about a high/low tier system for the duel?

E.g If a player got top 3 say 5 times? in a low tier game, they cannot play anymore low tier and must enroll in the higher tier game if they want to keep playing..? duel (high) would cost more to enroll in and have slightly higher payouts.. maybe this could reset on a weekly basis or something?

Could even extend it to include (low) (medium) (high)

win 5 low
win 10 medium
entry to high tier

that could reset monthly?

I'm sure people got a whole range of ideas that are probably better than this though to help fix the issues the duel had before.. it's clearly a game many of us loved and care about that can be brought back successfully with a few little tweaks tbh.

I want/wanted the duel back too
But the people constantly at it sound like broken records, when hes said repeatedly that it's not coming back

Not even that but just keeping the duel how it was

If someone extremely good at challenges joined, then the other 11 users could all get together and take the good person into the duel every round. Im pretty sure at least one of them would get wof, guitar, or dond against them and could have a chance to knock them out to make it easier at f3.

But I do like the different levels of difficulty. It provides an intriguing aspect

he's never said it's not coming back though? Teddybear if he did I doubt as many people would be talking about it.. like it's still a possibility as he hasn't mentioned it afaik?

I get what people are saying though as the ones who are good at challenges always prevailed at the duel that's why I'm saying we should try think of new creative ideas to revitalize it and make it fun again

sjsoccer88 lol yeah I remember I used to take STOKES2009 and tartra into the duel often and hope it's a luck challenge to risk getting them out but it does scare people off when they think they have no chance in hell of making it far in it =/

aww did you? hwest14 I'm sorry if I copied your ideas here lol! link us to it!

QueenDoe not complaining.. just frustrated because it's something a lot of us loved playing it just needs some TLC

WHAT SJSOCCER88 SAID. I'VE WON 2 DUELS AND I'M THE WORST PLAYERO N THIS SITE. I CAN'T EVEN GET 700 IN NUMBERS AT THE HIGHEST TIME POSSIBLE.

ANYONE CAN WIN. YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME STRATEGICALLY AND HAVE THE BALLS TO TAKE IN A GOOD PLAYER AND PRAY THAT IT'S DOND OR WOF.

ALSO GOOD PLAYERS AREN'T ALWAYS PERFECT. THEY SOMETIMES ITCH DURING GUITAR, GET NERVOUS DURING NUMBERS, OR FLOP DURING MAZE (LIKE EMMALEIGH DID WHEN I BEAT HER).

AT LEAST IN THE DUEL WE ALL HAVE THE SAME TIME UNLIKE HG, WHICH IS JUST A BUNCH OF XP CIRCLES AND ARROWING OUT PEOPLE. THE DUEL, PREMADES DON'T MATTER.

IF ANYTHING COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, I THINK HE SHOULD ADD A BUNCH OF MINIGAMES AT ONE TIME SO EVERYONE IS EXPERIENCING THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE PROBLEM WITH GAMES LIKE NUMBERS IS THAT IT'S SO REPETITIVE IT BECAME A MEMORY GAME INSTEAD OF A THINKING GAME AND VETS HAVE SO MUCH EXPERIENCE OVER NEWER PLAYERS.

OMG YES JOUIX I ALSO BEAT TARTRA IN A DUEL. BUT IT WAS BECAUSE MY SOCIAL GAME WAS ON FLEEK AND I GOT HER TO THROW THE CHALLENGE BECAUSE SHE FELT BAD. #OneOfMyBestDuelMoments

Jouix he as well as said it. He may be scared if he says it outright he'll lose tengagers, but its been like what, 2 and a half years? He put it back and took it away twice. Hes blogged about how "some things never change," he still gets constant mails about the duel and hasn't put it back. hes blogged about how it wastes server room. He hasn't ACKNOWLEDGED it, because it's clear he's not bring it back. The hunger games was his alternative. I mean, I don't really mind if people keep on pressing about it, I just don't see how there's any sort of hope.

But I suppose if someone came up with a very modified version of it. But I believe the hunger games was his attempt at modified.

lmaooooo I'm totally with you Timster the amount of times I'd be surprised at beating good players was unbelievable and hopefully with the cheat engines being stopped now it would be an overall more fair game.. but obviously it still needs a little tweaking to get everyone interested in it long term I think =/

That's a fair point Teddybear I just think for those of us who really want it back.. we obviously need to be creative and think outside of the box to put up a good argument for why it should come back and how it'll sustain popularity going forward.
