Good. There is nothing worse than lowlifes who get their jollies by ganking people that can’t fight back. Fight fair or don’t fight at all coward.

I did PvP in D2, D2R, and D3. None of these games have anything that is considered PvP in 2023. One-shots, everywhere.
D2 and D2R PvP is sponsored by D2JSP, nothing but god-rolls on one-shot meta builds.
D3s PvP was added as an afterthought, much like in previous games.
I dont think you will be able to “farm” ears as most players that venture into the area and opt-in will probably put up a fight you may lose. And that alone, will keep most of the BlueMoonPK wannabes out of the zone, so this is a non-issue.

Not it really shouldn’t. This is not a PVP game. And people are already raging about other people being on their screen, which is unreasonable in my opinion, but if those people could also kill them too that’s when I start understanding their reluctance for this new system.
Besides that’s not even PVP, when you force people who don’t want to pvp to get tagged. You want to PVP, you go to the respective place and you enable it and fight people who do the same, otherwise it’s not right.

Haha, you made this thread 10 minutes after I told you PvP in opt-in.
You know, for those wanting a general PvP fix…arena, normalized PvP could help.
Regarding this OP, it depends on if the overworld PvP zones need to be traversed to reach other zones. Some players might just want to pass through.
Personally, I’m 50/50, but D4’s appeal to me is PvP and potential PvP arena modes, and I would love a duel mode too. Meet anyone, anywhere, you should be able to challenge them to a duel.

Funny how people still forget that D2 was made for PvP.
It had no endgame. The endgame was PvP.
We had good early game (Ubers, Baalruns) and good mid game (trading on D2JSP, trading ingame) and endgame (using the things we traded for pvp items like Enigma, Anni, Skillers, Jmods,…).
I wonder how and when people lost their roots to gaming. I don’t know one single person who played D2 for PvE Content, knowing it was all done with a naked char.

Fields of hatred is targeted for endgame content so this whole “ganking newbies” is nonsense. Instead of insulting, we should be discussing possible solutions.
For example, I propose when entering this area, you are promoted with 2 options.
- Enter a full open pvp zone (instance) where monsters drop the materials to be converted and you can only see others who have opted in for this option.
or - Enter a non pvp (pve only) instance where monsters do NOT drop this material but you can farm monsters in this zone like any other zone.
This is one possible solution I have thought about and will continue to brainstorm, but as it stands if you are only flagged for pvp when trying to convert then those specific spots will be camped.

i wouldnt mind this, as long as the pvp only stuff that was promised to be pvp rewards, is gatekept by pvp.
as long as that’s the case, i dont mind if you opt out
If scumbags who opt out can still get the rewards, i have an issue with it

i cant wait to see if its gonna be popular in hardcore or not.
might have to disable hardcore for pvp for any participation heh
i think dying to pvp in hardcore doesnt rip the character
It should.
How dare you tell a PVE player he can’t go into a PVP ZONE without being forced to PVP in a PVP zone, where is supposed to have PVP in it!!!
Some ppl here are just delusional, they announce a feature for PVP on a game that already have a crapton of PVE stuff and still, you can’t have PVP on a PVP zone … it’s just insane.
The mats from pvp are not required for anything, they don’t have to put a single foot inside of it, still, “its a pve game, get lost” … I just can’t lol
There no simpler solution than what you just said “if they dont want to pvp they should stay out of the pvp zone”

i wouldnt consider myself a part of the HC community so that decision should be up to them
Yep I totally support this. I don’t even really care about PvP but I dabble in it from time to time. I was under the impression that this zone was ALWAYS open to PvP, not some opt in/out system. That’d be a shame if it was. This is the only PvP zone right? It definitely should be fully open.

If they don’t want to PVP they won’t mark themselves. Simple.
And I don’t want to give you my ear, but here’s my middle finger instead.

Where exactly are these Fields of Hated located cause I’m gonna avoid them like the plague. I’m hoping in some remote, out of the way place. Don’t want to just mistakenly wander into my own death. Did that once in D1 and lost an ear and vowed never again.
Why not just have a dedicated PvP server for the PvP’ers? Would you guys not want something like that? If I PvP’ed a lot I’d rather have a whole server where danger is around every corner than one small zone though I’d expect the action to be more intense in the small zone since you’d have more players in a small space.
To each their own.
