I suggest the inclusion of separate PvP maps for more exciting PvP gameplay.
PvP-only games could be created and joined through Battle.net in addition to the normal co-op multi-player story mode. However, dueling in the normal multi-player story mode would not be removed.
Fun PvP:
The PvP-maps would take advantage of the havok physics system, so you could use your environment against other players in PvP combat. Each map would be like an arena, with a network of map-exclusive environmental hazards.
How to join-up:
When creating PvP matches you would be able to put a level-cap on to identify what level of player you want to compete with, the same would apply for searching matches. (You would not be able to create a game with a level-cap lower than your own level.) There would also be a map-specific player capacity limit for each map.
The host and the players joining the game would have to wait at a join-up screen, as a list of names of other people who are joining appear. The host can start the match when he feels enough people have joined his/her game.
How do we start this thing?
Once everyone is in and the host has started the game, a timer would start. 1! - 2! (back ground voice says "ahh....fresh meat!") and the match starts!
When is it over?
A single match may consist of 3 rounds. The last man standing wins that particular round. First to win 2 rounds in a row wins the match. (Potions will be made unavailable.)

PvP maps will be unlocked and made playable only by completing various side quests throughout the story mode. This would make completing side quests more purposeful as well.
All in all, the PvP map system would be similar in design to Nox's PvP system.
This is a good idea, and I believe it's the only way to manage proper PvP in a game like Diablo. Either way, lots better than it used to be. I am pretty sure Blizzard will do something like this.
Nox is not Diabloesque. In fact, it's pretty hard to find anything Nox and Diablo have in common besides the top down perspective.
i would love to have everyone hostile all the time, except when in a party. this would make the game friggen awsome, always having to watch your back and ppl mauling you w/o remorse.
i wonder how many people are going to say no thats stupid, i wanna have pvp only when you accept. the name of the game is DIABLO, or the devil. your supposed to get mauled by jerkoffs and scammed all the time, its part of the game

DIABLO = DEVIL its not supposed to be a nice game autostats are rediclous lack of pots is not welcome if it aint broke dont fix it! (diablo2)
When you creat a PvP map you should also have the option of Team PvP. Like if you want a 1v1 2v2 3v3 you get to type in how many teams and how many players on that team like 2v2v2v2 or a big huge FFA if you want. I would like to host a huge 3v3v2v3v2 or somethin crazy. Invite lower lvls to be on the team 3's and the higher ones for 2's and have a huge face off. Choose between a deser area a forest area a hellish area or what would be really cool is choosing a map in hell or heaven itself. Like you choose a heaven map you have angels flying around that try to join in the fight and kill you (This could be removed by using a forest or desert map etc) Or in the hell where there are demons that attack you and try to interupt your match. Or you can have an all out HUGE WAR! Like you got the players on a team in the middle fighting each other above you got hell and heaven with warriors colliding and suddenly during the middle of it when most people die a platforms rises and you are now in the middle of the heaven and hell forces tryin to stay alive and kill the last player your fighting (Wow am I speakin of a whole other game or what )

even though i usually hate pvp i dont think i'd mind that for a change. I'm pretty sure people would join these maps all the time, especially if there was some sort of title or reward from it.

Actually this system is largely derived from a Diablo-esque game I used to play called NoX.
I don't even play WoW and it's not mandatory. You could choose to ignore this feature all-together and just play the other mode if you want.
Nox is not Diabloesque. In fact, it's pretty hard to find anything Nox and Diablo have in common besides the top down perspective.

Now, I didn't play WoW much but I know it has CTF so people probably won't want it because of this.
Imagine all the strategies, builds made with +run speed stuff to capture flags, tanks, etc. Would be crazy.
