I realize that this would be hard to implement, but it would be a total dream come true. As it stands right now, 1v1's are fun, and a really great addition, but with only 2 players, the luck that exists in the game sticks out even more than it did before. For example: I've had multiple games where I started with no blocks, and my opponent got multiple pearls, you can guess who won. On the other hand, I've had multiple games where I started with 2 pieces of diamond armor, and plenty of blocks. Its simply not fair with the way it works now. My Proposal is that in every 1v1 match, the loot, and maybe even the starting islands are completely mirrored. Right now (as far as I can tell) the 1v1 maps are just edited normal maps, so if those were edited again they could be made fair. Making the loot exactly the same for both sides, even if the spawn islands are different, would be a huge improvement. Again, this would be sort of hard to add to the game, but if the devs are up to it, it would be amazing. also, 1v1 specific maps would be pretty cool ngl Thanks for reading!
Full support. 1v1 is super fun however when your starter island only gives u wooden tools and leather armour and no blocks, and your opponent has iron and blocks, it leaves you at a huge disadvantage and personally I'm already bad enough at pvp as it is. It would be awesome to even or mirror the islands and their loot so you can actually have a decent PvP battle.
Support. Duels can be very unfair when the other player gets iron armour, or even a diamond chestplate while you're left with leather armour and a stone sword. It's essentially a "race to mid" and whoever gets there first will most likely win because of the loot. Mirroring the chest loot table on both starter islands would drastically even out the gameplay. I'm very much in favour of this.
I agree with this, up to a certain point, Duels come would come down to pvp skill meaning new players that can't pvp normally would get their a** kicked, but it would make a good fight when two players were equally skilled, however the luck thing in duels can also be a good thing, for example, in my experience of hacking on the server, when I would /duel someone, I would sometimes end up with no blocks and would have to buy a pearl, however that drains your skybucks fast and in a matter of time, the account I was hacking on would have no skybucks, meaning that I would have to make do with the items I got in my island, I actually lost multiple times while cheating blatantly due to players getting more stacked than me on their islands.
Support I've been in countless duels where the other person has better loot than me, plus my luck is just terrible anyways.
#1 Longjump flags on most clients because most people (not me) are not stupid enough to make bypasses for a server that tops on 300 players. #2 is that first part was a complete lie and you are right
Well the if you were a capable cheater you would know which anti cheat they used which is widely used by many servers and has many bypasses built into most clients nowdays.
Support on this. Would be fair for each opponent to get a fair chance at winning. Same loot would be beneficial and help create a fair duel.
Well, I like giving my opponent a chance so usually I use settings that aren't too blatant, In other words I like giving my opponent false hope then killing him
