By this time we know that PvE and PvP are almost as if they are two different game.
I do understand that PvE is capped at 4 player but what about PvP ?
Can blizzard stretch the player limit to 8 or 10 ?
I do like the idea of the current arena system where 3 people spawn on each end of the map and duke it out in the centre.
But what if they introduce more variety to PvP system? I mean, in all seriousness, the end game will mostly be PvP as there is a limit to how much you can improve your gear.
I see myself PvPing all day, with few friend of mine. But if 3 is the max.... I'll be dissapointed even if we could practically go against each other.
So is 4v4 and 5v5 a possibility? with a bigger map? There must be multiple arena maps right ?
Well for starters, PvP and PvE won't be that much different. Really the only discrepencies will be in CC spells like stuns and snares. And we know that they plan on having other arenas, but I don't know about 4v4 and 5v5, but I would guess that there will be larger brackets than just 3v3. Maybe not with release, but its not all that hard to implement afterwards.
It depends a lot on the arena sizes imo. When i first saw the pvp videos i was really dissapointed in how small the arena was. Having the entire blood moore to battle on d2 made for more strategic play, especially in team duels.
I don't see why anything higher shouldn't be made a possibility.
Think WoW and Battlegrounds.
It doesn't have to be dead serious. You could just get in, be assigned teams automatically (but you can group with friends before joining random teams to make sure you stay with them) and fight big battles in large and more complex arenas.
Arena is great and all, but actually, I hate small limited Arenas.

I just felt the same.
One of the collest aspect is the fact that you can't see whats happenign in the whole map. Then communication and strategy starts to play a big role.
The only bad thing is that it's too easy to run away.
D4unas made a great point. Once you get over 3v3, then the damage values can became way too big. If there were 5-6 on a team, all 6 members could focus fire on one person and drop them in 2-3 secs. The beginning of each round would end up resulting in the first 2-3 of each time dropping immediately, and then you are back to the original 3v3 anyway.

Yea, its kind of the same reason that theres no PvE groups over 4 people, because after that monsters would have to almost one-shot individual players in order to have it be challenging for the whole group.
However, from what we saw at Blizzcon, the arenas take about 30 seconds each anyways, so I don't think it would be all that big of a deal if they added people, as the time it takes to kill each people would keep the length of the arena about the same.
theres enough roll the dice target 1 player in wow arena 5v5, i think 4v4 should be max. 2v2 and 3v3 really would work well for d3 without being a complete balance nightmare.
As a hardcore player (Which I hope is implemented), I believe they destroyed the PVP aspect of the Diablo name sake.
Again nothing is concrete because the game has not launched, however Blizzard is making it to similar to the WoW arena system.
They are stopping PKing, which whether you agree or not, was a huge part of the Diablo series. Unfortunately Blizzard is trying to get rid of anything Blizzard North did.
The only plus arena PVP offers is the fact it would force players to actually engage in combat instead of town humping.
