HC PvP Sacrifice

General Discussion
1

So obviously you can’t “really” PvP in HC.

I wouldn’t have a problem with this if I saw ANY dual lobbies in game because that would mean people ARE dueling to the death.

But they arnt.

So I propose a PvP sacrifice.

In order to Duel in HC both parties will need to sacrifice a certain rune/runes to be loaded into a dueling arena.

It will not accept the sacrifice if you are currently holding on your belt or in your inventory any potions.

It could be thought of like an astral projection of the dueling heroes so that they technically didn’t “die”.

After the duel is completed the winner doesn’t lose their rune/runes while the loser does.

Thoughts?

Maybe just disable perma dead on pk, I don’t see why that’s even enabled. Doesn’t seem much QoL into such feature… no duels and pk’s… one can argue to duel in sc, but someone who plays hc will have no gear or anything in sc and also this has an entirely different meta.

Anyway

There is no ‘official’ spot in the game where you can PvP. “Perma dead” for PK is an intended mechanic in this game, you are supposed to be allowed to PK other players, especially in HC. Thus in HC PvP does not exist. The only solution that would be worthwhile is if they put in a PvP Arena where you can go to a totally different zone that is not PvE zone and play PvP.

This being a simple re-skin of D2 that just isn’t going to happen, If they do D4 right we will have a PvP Arena.

If they do d4 right it will be expanding on everything that is d2 and leaving d3 in the dungeon :slight_smile:

There is PvP in HC. It’s just high stakes.

I see no problem with HC pvp the way it is :grinning:

My favorite hardcore game activity: playing public games from level 1 to see how far I can get. PKs create the most interesting opponents.

HC is the only place you can “really” PvP.

That statement is good and all except no one does it

And “really”

From what I said means that I understand that you can but it’s in quotes due to the 100% non participation

If no one is doing it there’s room for improvement

Is this pvp in general? or… HC in general…?

Or are you saying there are no PKs in HC currently? Like really? It takes about half an hour to setup a charge paladin and camp out in the act 2 sewers…

Or does PKing not count as PVP? I still agree with Mith up there: only the real pvp occurs in hardcore :smiling_imp:

Well you can and i did in past :slight_smile:

Good would be pvp arena where HC chars cant die.

12

I would like to see decked out HC pvp.

I don’t think I’ve seen it in D2R, but HC dueling was a big thing back in the day.

in lod pvp moved more towards Low level dueling for hardcore.

Don’t see why they don’t just add an instanced area where you can PvP and not suffer the consequences of perma death.

16

Just a reminder 5 days till the only time HC PvP happens!!!

Get your boys set to die!

This is what is wrong with the current generation of humans. Everyone wants to be coddled, and to get a feel good medal after losing.

Keep hardcore, hardcore. Don’t implement a PVP arena. Those that want to duel, will duel. Those that know how to player kill, will get their kills.

Hahahhaha, it’s HC as in dead, unless you cheat and use hacks.

A duel is just that. Grab pistols walk 10 paces, turn and shoot. It’s over when someone is dead. Duel to death. It’s the HC way.

You want to play HC, which has one life, yet you want perma-duel life? LMAO!!!

disc is right: The current generation wants coddled and loser trophies. This is so sad.

This easily shows that there is no true pvp in d2. Matter of fact there isn’t anyway. The whole hostility thing was put in for the intention of adding pvp. This never happened and they neglected to get rid of the hostility function, which absolutely no use.

You call yourselves duelers, yet you play D2. Go play a real pvp game. To call yourselves duelers in D2 is a joke and a farce. Do you even realize how pathetic it sounds and makes you look?

A simple no would suffice… you’re pretty angry lol.

Besides NO ONE duels in HC

I was actually laughing pretty hard when I wrote that post.

Why is it when your kind disagrees, everyone is “angry” with you?
LOL

Besides, these are words on a screen, no emotion to them, nor any emotion referred to. Get a grip.
