So the duel was the most fun I've had in this game in a while, but also the most frustrating.
While the actual duel itself was great, the RNG required to actually get into one is just absurd.
I can see a few reasons why SE wants this system:
1. having a rare chance at the duel makes it more exciting due to fear of failing that one chance
2. the RNG system gates it soo that less people can clear, making the achievement more rare
My suggestion is as follows:
Keep the current system, but also make it so that each player can freely request to duel one of the baddies in the zone whenever they want (as long as no other current duel is happening). But make it so that win or lose, you only get one request attempt once a week.
In that way, the excitement from the fear of failing still remains, as if you die you'll lose your weekly free attempt. It also still makes the achievement pretty rare, as at this rate on a normal play schedule you'll be lucky to get one attempt a week (yes I know some people can play all day and get more but those are outliers). And players that still do well in the CEs can still obtain additional RNG chances should they want more duel attempts.
