I personally hate Jay's opinion of PvP. Its a source of healthy competition and expands the game and the classes immensely. I really think they should adopt an arena system, not for the elite but for everyone. Having something like a ladder to progress through brings great self satisfaction and enjoyment and i really think they are selling the game short without it.
He talks of being able to alter skills in regards to cool downs and cc affect lengths, and yet refuses to do any balancing for pvp what so ever. Jay you are an asshole, all you have to do is change the duration while in an arena and avowal.
I like the idea they put forward but as an informal approach. You can have both, I don't see why they just have it the way jay wants it. I'm the one buying the game why do you not care about me, or anyone that shares my view. I found it quite clear that Sixen and force were unimpressed judging by their attacking questions and think there are many that share my view. D3 arena had me very excited until tonight.
I personally would call what they want to implement more of a battleground(and yes I'm pulling straight from wow but u can see where I'm going with it). Battlegrounds could have various objectives and fun things to do in diablo while in a pvp scenario. I love the boys idea of hordes of monsters coming at you(even though that's pve) that makes for a really cool mini-game and could offer up some neat rewards, if even just a notch for your banner.
Epic fail Jay, I'm disgusted i have to share my last name with you.
Up until earlier today I was under the impression there will be some sort of ranking, and that they were actually driving for a low-level competitive PVP scene ( Not E-sports, but competitive)
I was really looking forward to spending countless hours ranking in the PVP arena, and I was abit saddened with there direction, but I can understand and move on from it ( I dont have to make QQ whine threads like most of the others)
When I read Jay's answer's something doesn't seem right, especially based on how he talked about PVP at blizzcon 2010 and when he did say the liked the prospect of tournament/competition's arising, to do a full turn around and completely to be against any form of competitive ranked PVP is abit weird, I'm either thinking they just didn't have the time to spend on finishing of and supporting the Ranking system, or there just going to suprise us later, possibly after release ( patched in ) or in expansion to have more support for ranked PVP
All in all, I'm abit disappointed in the current scheme of PVP portrayed by Jay, but it wont affect my overall enjoyment of the game, I will just take it as it is, and hope further down the line they decide to add and support ranked competitive PVP.
Honestly after all the grinding (buying items with $$) what good is Diablo 3 if you can't even have fun with your new gear in PvP? People mostly grind bosses and farm to get better gear to PvP, not to be able to beat bosses faster cause after a while it's just boring doing the same thing a million times for no reason. I'm still buying the game hoping it's good but i definitely have a bad taste in my mouth after all the new info.
PvP will still be fun. It's not like they are abandoning it all together. In fact, they only thing that has changed since blizzcon is that it is now a team death match instead of a survivor scenario.
There will be a separate leveling system with PvP to track your porgress. There is a part of the banner dedicated solely for PvP to show off you PvP skills.
The only thing is that the direct rank for matchmaking will not be shown.
