It would be awesome if a person could take a portal or something to a pvp arena so hc players could perhaps partake in dueling, or further rules could be set for the arena by the players to gamble or change penalties. As it is, hc dueling is often too much risk to partake in this fun spar sometimes.
After 2.4 and the new ladder, I could see this kind of thing getting some players excited and wanting to play more.
I came in here thinking I was going to burn this post down and I still kind of want to, except that I agree that HC players should be able to friendly duel to some degree… but the arena idea is a no go imo. Just don’t want to see that in sc at all.
I think a fair compromise that would be not bad for hc would be to add a dueling hostile icon for HC only, that would allow you to basically challenge someone to a friendly duel. Still would be dangerous if a mob hits you at 1 health, but it would allow the duels to exist. Just takes you out of the friendly hostile at 1 health.
Someone on Reddit suggested a new town world to show off gear, hang out, trade, etc. That would be pretty sick if the new town had a monsterless area outside of town that hc chars could duel at without permanently dying.
You don’t want the option to wager items on duels? I think it would be pretty cool to both click accept on each other’s wagered items and winner take all as an option.
As long as there are lots of things to jump on top of… I am in.
1000% that would be fun as hell.
Blizzard North should have did it like they planned on doing, they had the talent. They just didn’t realize at the time that D2 LOD would be the last Diablo game they worked on.
I’m actually editing an LLD PVP video right now to help showcase how much strategy and depth is involved in it.
I was planning on finishing an Arena concept video, but I put it on hold. I might finish it after.
Yes please we need pvp arena.
PvP arena sounds sick , the announcing hostility and doing a bar fight outside town is too improvised for my taste , although I still support PvP players.
Yes, and add low level duelling arena for SC and HC. Imagine duelling arena at lvl 18 and 30 how awesome it would be! And it would make that lvl 30 amulet or jewel extremely valuable, finally all the low level items you get from hell could be useful!
With a duelling arena too? What do you think about low level duelling arena in act 1, and high level duelling arena act 4 for instance? Or maybe 5?
Wagering items sounds amazing.
Imagine how good ranked LLD would be for the game! Suddenly 30% of worthless drops become good.
