i only started looking at the state of pvp a few days ago.. and was quite suprised that the only aspect of PVP they will allow is a dull arena TDM, and moreover that it will be out in 6 months.
i understand that there is no hope for world pvp/"hostile", but if they are going along the line of skirmishes, but why not give us something more than just TDM?
if anyone remembers the game "Nox" by westwood (was sort of like D2), you would know that it had a really fun "instanced" pvp, you could play capture the flag, a type of football (kinda like CTF but with 1 ball, and ball holder cant attack), alongside TDM and DM.
i might just be unaware of the state of pvp, but are they actually making us wait 6 months just for 2-3 new small maps (arena grounds), match making system (which they can already take from wow really) and an end game scoreboard? that sounds like a lot of time for such little work.. or am i missing something here?
make a gametype like oddball. The longer you hold the ball, the slower or the less health you have. Good teams will be able to use CC`s and cooldowns to keep ball. First team to hold ball for x time wins
i think they would like to just get something out the door and enjoyable for the community. you know how Bliz is. if ppl want it they will come up with something to please them so you could possibly see more modes in the future.
You know, just having outdoor pvp (NOT FORCED) would be amazing... just allow it in special games, but people can then fight it out in the normal maps, which is the whole point.
Other than that, I'm definitively hoping for different gametypes. I sure as hell hope duelling is possible, they seemed almost against it back then.
I'd like more original gametypes, but practically no developers ever care. Would happen with mod support but thats so 1999. Such as variations of deathmatch. I loved various "jailbreak" systems or "freeze" system, where someone dies but can be resurected somehow by his friends doing well. Game is won when one team's players are down. There are so many simple variations that could be interesting but I know they won't bother.
And also, I'd love some more hectic options. I'm talking 8v8 style of gameplay. That would be completely stupidly ridiculous, but fun for a laugh.
And why is it so long? They don't really care, thats why.
I'd absolutely love your "football" idea, though something even more dynamic. A ball that is affected by players bumping into it (like small kicks) but also by attacks and skills of various kind.
All i know is, im fockin stoked to get some pvp in. Just the way its gonna play out, with all the different skills, and builds out there, there is literally no telling whats gonna happen in the arena's. Plus, once PVP comes out, you know its gonna be buggy as shit. Who knows, the balance could shift and force us to have 2 sets of armor, one for pvp and one for pve. I also would like them to make a clan system, that would be pretty cool.
just TDM? thats pretty sad, no FFA ?CTF? KOTH? HTH PM? BM? KOBK? RM? KTS? DTB? DBP?
That's sad?
I would think sad would be no TMD or PVP at all.
After all, the fact PVP and one mode is promised means we are one step closer to getting all of the ASKDFKASJDFASKDFASDKAN modes put in.

Dude I know =D We need to make a bet now at how many whine threads will instantly be made after PVP launches, because ppl will get gibbed =) I can hear it now " WTF I spent 100m on gear and this asshole demon hunter stands in the corner and hungering arrows me to death!"

Oh maaaaaan it's going to be awesome =P
Haha QQ fest inc when pvp is out! But worry not! all the real diablo fans will jump into the arena grow some bawls and DEAL with it! because smahing players is fun!
Only the spoiled kids will come here to post a ''im getting refunded'' thread or something. Nothing wrong if you dont like the game but fuck we dont care if you leave just DO it
EDIT : id WTB a DOTA style battleground ANYDAY. Playing some LoL when in need of pvp action

I think basic CTF could also have merit, too.
That's why. They're not going to put 'hostile' back in the game to be abused, so PvP will get added when it gets added.
