Rematch Button For PvP

[Nash2342]

I have been playing PvP a lot and when i find a challenging or just a fun to play opponent i sometimes want to play again. But it is hard to get across how to set up a PvP duel in the few seconds left in the game. So what i propose is a Rematch Button that will do that for you if both players agree and press the button. 

I have lost 4 potential rematches so far. So if you think it is a good idea will you please put this in. I think it would help make this a better game.


P.S. I like this game a lot.

Try to note their username right after the match.

[Nash2342]

I do but some of the players want to play against don't know how.
It would just make it easier to do.

Ask their username and tell them yours. Then ask them to a pvp duel afterwards.

I know how to do it. I have done it a few times. But sometimes there is not enough time. If there were a Button that you could push and have it ask the other player. Then the other player could just hit yes or no on a dialog box and it would take less time then typing the whole thing out and besides some players have long long user names.

Very good idea, Nash, hereby seconded. There is a major difference between challenging them for another PvP Duel "against a friend" and Rematching. PvP 1/2 is not only played for fun but for electrum and cards. If you lose a game thinking "Oh man, my deck would have been such a good counter to theirs and I got that unlucky draw" and have the Rematch button available, you'll simply press it. If your opponent goes like "w00t, I've defeated this expert player, let's do it again", they'll press it as well and you'll have the chance showing off your deck against each other again. The second match will be played immediately after, players won't be able to change their decks. In the end, you'll have made up or doubled your 30/50 loss depending on whether your judgement turns out to be right.

The only exploit I can imagine is a veteran player putting together a farm deck, not minding the electrum loss and giving away shards to a lucky novice by repeatedly playing (letting his AI play?) them. But this can be prevented by offering no Rematch after one player has won the second time, best-of-three-like.

Maybe my take is a bit different than yours; I just spotted that you mentioned "PvP duel" in your OP, do you mean the one without gaining rewards?

And then our wonderful PVP server lags. Then what? Fake Games, the search lasts forever, no back to menu and again? That would be a good option if our server was really perfect.

And it would make even easier the rare cards trading.

Yep, card trading at its finest... Not a good idea.

[Nash2342]

I did not think you could spin after a PvP Duel so how can you get cards this way. This would be a rematch under PvP Duel rules so how is this any different then setting up a PvP match by hand.

I see what he's saying. The rematch button would start a new game, but without electrum/score/spins. It'd be just like jotting down each others names and challenging each other in the free PvP. The benefit here is if you decide you want this in the last minute/round of a match where you don't really have time to discuss it.

So here's a few versions:
Option 1 (his idea): At the "you win" or "You lose" screen have a button saying "Rematch?" that will send a request to the opponent. If they accept, a new match is played in free PvP.
Option 2) On the win and lose screens, allow in game chat to continue until one person leaves, giving more time to discuss a rematch.
Option 3) a "request a match" feature where one could send his/her name to an opponent, who could then delete the request or accept the request (a bit more finicky, but I like the idea).

Option 2 is the best.
It doesn't make easier to trade cards, allow for comments on decks and the game, and gives the possibility to player to know each other (or insult each other! )
