Deathmatch Duel or Duel Mode?

[Parity]

Just wanted to see the common thought about which people liked more, deathmatch with player set rules and the possibility of a randomer or the duel mode?

I'm a bit torn on this matter. While I think duel mode is a great thing, especially if it gets improved a bit, all the occassionally funny things that happened on DM with Rules are no more.

For example someone has mentioned the moments before in another thread when u duell someone and suddenly an annoying randomer on a horse appears - if you have a decent opponent both will pause the duell, kill the randomer and then continue the duel, just great.

Or I remember an evening at a duel server - perhaps it even was parity - when a group of people started playing some kind of melee brawl. everyone had to stand in a circle and on command of one player not participating it was everybody versus everybody until the last man. Such things won't happen with duel mode...

Go to Ndition's Duel Server, a duel mode server, have all the duels you want by greeting with upper block or with "f" like any duel server, be surprised at the feature of people trying to annoy duelists by getting in the way being teleported away, then come back here and vote for "Duel".
Thanks to Willow the Duel mode on Nditions is absolutely perfect, without any flaw of the original release.

Yeah, one can't really play around, I'm not been too sure of keeping it duel mode or deathmatch, mostly for the shenanigans, interested in seeing how the vote will turn out.

I think duel mode is still probably superior even without a mod like willow's (which improves it immeasurably).

Duel mode. Certainly. There's still halfwits doing their best to ruin a fight, and the instakill cocksuckers, but that's still a good deal better than a minimum of 2 backstabbers on a horse.

I'm in two minds about it. Duel mode is Great-Sworder heaven, and the distance for dueling f key thing is too short, but Deathmatch has randomers. If I HAD to choose ONE, though, It would probably be Deathmatch. Cav randomers are funny, just get a pike and you get an improved K/D.

Though I think that Duel-Mode was a good thing I slighty prefer Deathmatch over Duel.

1, To my mind randomers apear not very often(or always other players get killed instead of me^^)
2, the short Range of "F" is very annoying(VERY!^^)
3, Instant Kills may happen(not a big problem)
4, As somebody already wrote: It makes fun to random randomers

Currently the advantages of the Deathmatch-Duell Mode are superior, but when I play Duell I only play on Ndition which is the perfect Duell Server

I can everybody adwise to try this server, but dont get slaughtere by wierdo
(There are some really good players there)

Have to say deathmatch. Though there were randomers, all the events and pitfights payed up for it. There is nothing new about duel mode than there were in the original duel servers, except that now randomers are useless.

I find duel to be better, yes it has issues but they can be resolved in the same way as deathmatch duel servers by abitrary rules.

For example even if you challenge someone to a duel you should hold an up block till your opponent is ready. You should also give your opponent seperation so both of you are out of range of each other before you start swinging away. People who step inbetween dueling players should be kicked in the same way randomers are. If someone does step inbetween your duel both players should stop dueling and regreet and then go at it again.
