goals in D2 was:
* lvl 99.
* pwn them nuubs in pvp.
d3 misses both.
so yes, pvp will be the saviour of d3
Leveling to 99 was never my goal. Horrible masochistic grind, I usually got bored out of my mind somewhere in the 80s. Thank god in heaven they removed that.
A lot of people talk about games (D2 included) being "about" PVP because that's what they spent a lot of time doing. But the games were never designed as PVP games at all. It's just that there was nothing else to do.
I remember D2 PVP, there was precisely 0 thought put into that. They took their game which was designed entirely for PVE and let you change a flag so you did the same damage you did to NPCs to players, and that was it for 7 years. I really hope they actually make it a game in its own right this time (and remotely balanced so it's not just cheap 1-shotting 24/7).
