    Hello everyone,

    I don't know if Duels has been suggested in could be implemented as a gamemode, or just on OP PvP and Kit PvP,

    The command /duel, would be useful as when you're trying to one vs one people, you might get jumped, and it would make the 1v1 a better experience, It might be in the works, or already have been suggested but, I think this needs to be implemented, or a Practice gamemode at least.

    /staff Command

    The /staff command isn't very useful and should really only be able to seen by staff, it is good for staff managers, to help with staff activity, but players can see the actual staff online, this means hackers could see whenever a staff member is online, this could cause the player too toggle off, and then wait for the staff member too be offline and then keep hacking,

    Let me know what you guys think.

    I like the first idea about duels. I can't really think of any downsides to this, and see this as a fun new feature! Perhaps MV could implement a leaderboard to go along with it if it receives a lot of support.

    As for your suggestion about the /staff command, I have to disagree with you. I get your point about hackers checking to see if any staff are on. But if a player sees a hacker and doesn't know if any staff are on, that will give them two options as I see it. Either one they will ignore it. Or two they will go through the report process on the forums. The hackers will be banned much sooner if told to a staff online, rather than waiting for a stack to check the reports.
    TL;DR - I think it's necessary for players to see if staff are online, and what mode they're playing in the event there's an issue.

    I support both of these. I think that /staff doesn't really help legit players too because mostly they are in /v and so the most players doesn't even know on which gamemodes they are. But the hackers just need to see if a staff is online and then they'll stop.

    And for the /duel I just say YES

    it's already going in the direction of having /staff disabled globally so might as why not fight it :confused:.

    I support both.

    Back in 2016, I made a thread about a new gamemode called duels, found here https://www.mineverse.com/threads/1v1-gamemode.71322/ with about a 6:1 support / no support ratio. I think it would be a cool thing to add. It would also be possible to add duels to our 2 pvp servers (OPPvP and KitPvP).

    I like the idea of a new duel gamemode but not your idea of putting it on op pvp or kitpvp. It will take away the FFA experience

    I support the duels, but not the removal of /staff

    Hackers never check /staff to see what gamemode(s) we're on. They get an on-join notification that we've joined the gamemode. They will always get this unless staff get put in vanish by the server on join. You also have /where [username], which works for all users. I don't think changing the plugin is worth it

    Duels as a gamemode would be a good attempt to partially revive the PvP side of Mineverse. Not only would this be good for practicing PvPing with a partner for example, this could be used to boost the competitive aspect of Mineverse and may attract more attention. Just my thoughts, nevertheless I support.

    Duels on kitpvp servers don’t tend to work out with mineverse, but maybe a new gamemode for it could work out (though most pvp servers are 1,7 and we won’t be able to compete with them). I agree with what you said about /staff though, it would help if it wasn’t public to players.

    Understood. However developing a whole new server just for duels would cost time and effort if Mineverse are willing to do that. Duels being a plugin/command where 4 players get teleported to a small arena of some sort can still kick start it into being something bigger, a gamemode like you stated.

    We added /duel 2 or 3 times and it’s never worked out, I don’t know why it would work this time around

    True, however judging off the activity on Mineverse nowadays and the support on this thread, I think the 4th time is the charm. I could be wrong, but maybe it is.
