I feel when inside any HC area you should be prompted whether you wish to duel to the death or not. There should be 2 options to choose from; death dueling or friendly combat. What do you guys think about this? Seems the best of both worlds.
I disagree. I think hardcore should remain permadeath and PVP should remain as is. You don’t state in your original post why you would want this option, but it would be counter to both PVP and hardcore for similar reasons.
Perhaps if you want dueling (consented to non death pvp), it could be added to the training grounds of overworld interactions as its own feature. If you are marketing to a safer hardcore or PvP gamemode, softcore already covers this.
No shade intended. I just wanted to add to the conversation and share my opinion.
