An Idea: Sparring.

I'd like to have the option of sparring my guild mates in PvP.

The idea is: No rewards except for the experience we the players take from the battle and no damage to gear or troops (or no cost to start healing if it's felt down time would be required.)

This does a few things:
Battling is an important part of many, if not most, people's economy meaning risking a loss is just too discouraging a prospect for people to try radical new tactics and compositions.
New players could learn some tactics and positioning with out being run down right away and giving up on PvP.
The option to just spar will encourages friendly low stress competition.

I'm sure more pros and some cons can be found. Please feel free to share them.

Thanks,

Well I prefer your suggestion also not including experience on sparring battle.
Since some of us going to cheat for multi uses.

anyway should you post this on suggestion subforum?

I shouldn't have used a word as loaded as experience. I meant human knowledge/proficiency.

That would be a great mode.

I do not like this idea since our units could get injured from sparring and with no other rewards then expierience it will be costly to spar really often.

I like that. No ingame harm, no ingame benefit. But a learning method to sharpen the minds against kuba and fyrr

Sparring mode could have an insta-heal for troops as well and not use up any durability on equipments. Even if it didn't I'm sure a lot of people would use it anyway especially if you could do it with guildies or allied guilds not just the opposite faction.

I think private PvP would be great, which could include rewards/lack of rules that tiered matching has. But in addition to that, a way to do "training" PvP's with others that involve no reward/damage to things would be great as well. A great way to run tests or funny battle types without worrying about heal/repair costs. Very good idea.

As soon as he told me about it, I'm like yeah, you have to post that to the forum. It would knock out some of the mystique of PVPing for me and my guildmates. No damage, no reward, just tactics, and only between guildmates. I think just having that could prompt more people to enter that queue so PVP can become the feature it should be.

Someone linked to this from a recent thread, so I think its worth reviving.

I think this is a fantastic idea, with no risk of exploitation.

This would also give players a way to practice PvP without the risk & punishment of heal costs, and a way for experienced players to 'train' newer players.

I love this. Not only could this be used to catfight other guildies, but this could also be used to teach newbies techniques in-game. I also agree on the fact that you don't get ANYTHING from doing this, mainly because I bet people would exploit this to get more cp/xp.
