PVP has to be good!

PC General Discussion

Please make pvp good! I’m a pvper at heart and was disappointed we didn’t get to pvp in the beta, but please please don’t let me down like you guys did in D3. This game has dedicated pvp zones which is what gives me hope that you guys are taking pvp serious.

See you all in the fields of hatred!!! >:)

Honestly, I don’t care about PvP at all. I don’t intend to participate in it, but have no problem with it being in game for those who do.

Just as long as none of the challenges require participating in PvP to complete them - if they do then I’m not going to be happy.

I dont have much hope for overworld PvP (fields of hatred), but as we are looking to get our PvP fix exclusively from D4, we suggest:

  • Arena PvP modes added to the game later.
    This means the mode is a separate lobby, with normalization (all players get same amount of skill points to assign to preset builds of their chosing.
    Lost Ark unlocks PvP at level 26 and you get “Book of Something” that contains all your builds with 3 quick select tabs you can set up beforehand.

Lost Ark failed in their implementation and their CC is too prevalent, but the idea was there. Furthermore, the Amazon server issues and publishing failed the Global Release. D4 has the chance to do it all right.

I also see opportunity for a MOBA mode in the classic Dota vein, or Battlerite arena brawler, where distinct heroes will be from defined sub-class builds. You can even make the PvP servers part of a free to play client to keep server traffic busy, but F2P players dont have access to cosmetics and all emotes, this can encourage them to buy the D4 full game.

Normalization in a loot based game…cmon man. Arenas is a bad idea since we have 2 big fields of hatred to encounter pvp and arenas will take away from people roaming the fields.

I’m a little concerned about PvP if there is no zoom function added. Ultra wide monitor players will have a great advantage over standard monitor players. Console co-op players will also have a greater advantage because their screen zooms out.

This all needs to be standardized in some fashion. They really just need to add a zoom out mechanic that you can use at any time for pc players.

Disagree, it worked in an inferior game. There is an opt-in function for fields of hatred, you might as well say that will take away from PvP in a PvP zone.

And yes, normalization works in the game (it’s not exclusively loot-based) for those who want it. If you don’t want it then don’t bother. If you’re worried about server capacity, remember they thin out density. We could even go the Warzone route and have the arena modes F2P on the PvP client to attract more players and keep the servers populated.

There is no “opt in” for fields of hatred. Its an open PVP zone

8

You didn’t keep up to date with the dev interviews

9

link to the thread please.

10

There better not be an opt-in in to the zone.

11

Diablo 4 will feature special open-world PvP zones, called Fields of Hatred. To take part in PvP action, you’ll have to opt in first . These zones, while PvP focussed, will be explorable without engaging in PvP. You will also be able to group up with other Players while inside them.

Google it, then return to the point of discussion

12

That could mean that you are opting in by going to the zone.

13

that makes no sense…whats the point of farming red dust if no one can kill you?

14

No, in the recent Shely and Rod interview they said you can go through the zone without doing PvP. You opt-in and make yourself a target. Anyways my point stands to this edit: BleedingCrypt user that worries about arena PvP modes as though that’lll segregate the playerbase. For heaven’s sake, that could very well increase the playerbase

15

it just means that pve players can enjoy the content without andy having a rage fit, because mommy didn’t buy snacks. You opt in for pvp and duke it out with others that are also having the same itch. It’s a very good system

16

If it ever is going to be good… its a long, long, long ways away… and I can promise on release at least, you are going to be very disappointed. It was 100% garbage in cb.

17

wrong, fields of hatred was advertised as an open pvp zone where you can farm specific material and purify. so now you can just farm the area and purify with no pvp? LOL

no one is saying you can’t pvp dude. I am just saying PVE players can farm and then come back for PVP. It’s a win for both

I enjoyed D2 pvp and I still do.

Nothing better than collecting ears vs trap cheese assas while using full light absorb on my smiter. Those ears and those tears I love.

I can’t wait to build my first invis fireball sorc and nuke players away with 25k invisible fireballs out of screen.

Only bought this game for pvp. I have a full chest of ears from those HoD Clan noobs 2005-2007.

10/10 sign.

I hope their is a bug so can somehow PK them and collect the ears. Those PvE player tears and ears will be great.
