Could diablo 4 have more pvp content?

Arenas? Battlegrounds? Guild vs guild?
Pvp season? Pvp season?

Please consider these. If lost ark could pull some of it, so can D4. This would give some extra life to the eternal server.

As a live service game there will undoubtedly be some new developments in all areas. I can see them making a PvP Arena quite easily consdering World of Warcrafts PvP is literally driven by it.

The arena should be a day 1 feature, or season 1 feature. It’s very popular in lost ark, new world and other games. Itd definitely be a great addition to the game.

I doubt we’ll get it Day 1 or even Season 1, but if there is enough player feedback, Blizzard do seem to be paying attention to that so maybe by Season 2?

I would hope so… PVP is my end-game for Diablo. I would love some BGs or Arena style games.

the game is balanced around pve and seasons. not around pvp and eternal realm. thus each resource they have they should use on developing seasons content, not eternal realm, and pve, not pvp. any use of resources for pvp or eternal realm, would be depriving their intended target who like the game, to please someone who isn’t their intended target and dislikes the game. i don’t see that happening soon.

I can see more PvP elements being added later. Features take time and balancing and they have to release the game at some point. I’d rather have it now because it’s not a PvP centric game.

WoW didn’t have any PvP rewards or ranking until after release. Like others have said, this is a live service game with more frequent expansions and updates because of the constant flow of money coming in & them needing to stay up to date.

Nah I am against pvp, pvpers would cry like children and ruins pve builds, happened in every game.

Absolutely no to more pvp content, its already too much with what it launches with.

I’m not particularly into PvP but LAs PvP arena was the most PvP arpg fun I had ever had. A bunch of the other parts of LA are garbage and I only played a couple days of the open beta and then un installed.

yes… all rogues already have your name carved into their blades/arrows

That is a no for PvP from me till we KNOW PvE is top notch. PvE > PvP by a mile.
Also devs said that PvP will not be balanced so asking for more unbalanced content is not the right direction to take in PvE oriented game. They would decrease overall quality by doing that.

As long as pvp is optional i hope they add everything you guys want.

I wouldn’t expect much from the PvP. Their attitude has been pretty clear that they put it in so people wouldn’t whine about it and that’s about all they have planned for it. If it gets extremely popular that might change, but at this point in time, I doubt they have literally any plans for PvP right now.

PvP is going to be a donkey show. The game isn’t balanced for it what so ever. Its going to become a team based gank fest. If pvp is your desired end game id look else where. The casuals and weekend warriors will say screw this after there first time joining pvp. Its going to become very unpopular for most of the player base I suspect pvp will be gone by season 2 or 3 and be replaced by a brawling arena.

Diablo 4 PvP is going to be an absolute balance disaster at launch. It’s going to be hilarious to listen to people lose their minds over it.

The Three things that I want for PvP:

  • The game must not be balanced around PvP. PvE should be the focus of balance in the game, and if that results in PvP being unbalanced, then that’s too bad. Balance in PvE must not be sacrificed to make PvP balanced.
  • Time spent developing PvP must not be at the expense of time developing PvE. PvE must be the focus of development effort, and if they start pulling devs off of PvE to work on PvP, then that’s bad.
  • PvP must be completely optional. I’m OK with cosmetic content that is limited to PvP provided that it isn’t any more snazzy that what players can get for free on PvE, but if the battle pass requires PvP to complete (or is more difficult without it), then that’s a bad thing.

Within the boundaries of the above, I’m completely OK with as much PvP content and whatever type of PvP content you want. :slight_smile:

Not with the screw up in hardcore, no.

Could it? Sure, it totally could.

Will it? Dont count on it.
