- It's a bad place to bring a team.
Soaring through the air and navigating tricky islands is a lot of fun, but it is pure torture when a team is waiting for you. Almost all of my Shard trips have been solo, and I'm glad for that.
Having the time to fool around, enjoy the view, or screw up and fall forever is really necessary to your enjoyment.

Well this was my next question so...there ya go.
I explored a bit this morning but didn't have too much time to look around.
But I build teams for mish runs, like 99% of the time, and I got the feeling right away that this wasn't the best place to bring a team that's not familiar with it, and that have all different travel powers.
But it sure is gorgeous and I would love to see it made a tad more gamer-friendly so people could actually, y'know, enjoy it.

No, they'll never have a /duel command in this game, ever, because the playerbase is very strongly anti-PVP besides a minority, and because it has massive griefing potential. We have arenas for that.

Well, I'm *not* a PvPer by any means. I've gone into the PvP zones a few times, fought a bit, got ganked a bit, but PvE is my thing...
However, I fail to see how one zone (Shadow Shard) allowing a /duel command would be problematic. It's the kind of zone where I see Co-OP needed ("hey' we're surrounded by these chtuloid aliens - let's join forces!"), but on the other hand it's also a lawless frontier, not under the jurisdiction of any Earthly power, so I'd think fighting ('dueling') would be more common, just like in the Old West...
Finally, You could always ignore challenges, and even have an option to not even get prompted, then it's no different than normal play. Sure you can have someone nagging you on in the chat box to duel with them, but I've had that happen with the Arena too. That's what ignore is for...

You'd have duellers stopping people from getting to doors, constantly spamming everyone who doesn't have their command off, and generally making nuisances of themselves. I think there's a standard rant out there that outlines all the reasons that /duel should never be in this game.
For ease of travel in the Shadow Shard, there is a jet pack vendor.
It also works outside the Shadow Shard.
