pk'ing is only good to serve as a e-penis viagra, some idiot goes around low level games and runs pk'ing and thinking he is so cool and all that, what do people gain from that, are they doing it for the greater good of making people work for a better character? no... the only reason for that is, they need to be noticed, and they dont care how.
there were even cheating pk'ers wich was even worse but at least there werent many of them.
at least this way they will be forced to play the game properly without ruining it for anybody else.
Good, finally, another pointless glitch gone. This was really lame for people in Hardcore mode, especially. Dicks would come in and PK someone like 30 levels lower than them. Same thing happened in SC sometimes, too. And then they'd call you a noob because you got killed by someone 3x your level. Lol.
PK means 'player kill', clicking the hostile button and going out using a waypoint or exisiting town and killing someone isn't a glitch.
TPPK is was the glitch which is called 'town portal player kill' which is attacking you going to town and hostiling they're totally different things. If you're being killed by someone who is a higher level than you who isn't using TPPK hardcore is to hardcore for you, I suggest you fine another game.
PK is going into a dueling game and hostiling everyone and fighting them using potions, town portal and possibly nk'ing them or chasing after someone who you want out of your game trying to kill them etc.
Allowing PK is especially important for HC. It adds so much more suspense when you are playing in a group. You know that at any time, one of your teammates can stab you in the back. Frankley, HC just wouldn't be HC without the possibility of PK, and general PvP would also be not the same. Notice I use the word "possibility" because I don't think people SHOULD necessarely be doing it. But the mere fact that they have that option adds suspense and a fuller gaming experience.
Well, based on your comments it seems you've never played hardcore much. Experienced players who play hardcore rarely play in public games. Even if they do, there's most probably a level range limit. You normally play with friends who normally protect you and not backstab you. In the worst case, they're there to loot your corpse if in case you died. Unless you have friends who enjoy sarcastic humor by killing your lvl 92 farming sorc.
If you feel like killing people, you'd probably visit a public pk game. That's more like pvp so taking out pk griefing is probably a good idea. Bravo Blizzard. Bravo.
Random PKing is what kept me out of Diablo 2 multiplayer... blabla bs
WTF.... is this the standard whining response now? Every single thread i go theres a post like this. ''xxxxx was the main reason it kept me out of d2 multiplaya please blizzah fix fix fix''
Get real, folks, the diablo you all knew is dead, a few years ago i said right here in this forum that D3 had a pretty good chance of being blizzard first bust (i was flamed to death ofc), and what you know, its not even beta and its already looking that way.
Ah yes, I remember those good ole days where you could literally do a man hunt on noobs. Hilarious stuff. You can't even do that in LOD now though. Besides didn't they say "Diablo is first and foremost a cooperative game"? So wither your back stabbing or man hunting it won't be very "cooperative" of you now, would it?
Wow I seriously fucking hate you people, you know how I first heard about diablo? a friend of mine told me it was a badass game where you could be killed at ANYTIME people were always trying to jack your shit and you could be godmode and kill any boss in the game by yourself once you got the gear.
They straight up told me the game is all about griefing and pk'ing and fucking went out as fast as possible to go pick it up and see what all this griefing pk'ing business was about it sounded fucking hilarious.
Now all you goddamn carebear girls want to make diablo into some fucking dueling bullshit? go play another game diablo isn't the game for you.
Diablo 1 was about hacking, griefing and pk'ing and fighting against the fucking devil himself. Diablo 2 was more balanced but still had alot of pk'ing and other awesome stuff such as overpowered characters with gear.
If you want balanced, fair and all that other crap world of warcraft is right up your ally, also titan quest I hear is a good game.

I suppose if I was only 10 years old and it was summer vacation and I couldn't drive yet I'd be pretty angsty too.
You need to understand you're pretty much the kind of player that the vast majority of players really, really dislike. You won't be missed if you don't buy D3.
Man so many over reactions, I almost never even encountered PvP, more often in hardcore than not and when your leveling a char to 40 and some 99 comes in and hostiles you it just means you waste time sitting in town till they piss off... and before they fixed it when you could TP kill it was just stupid...
it IS a big waste of time and does no one a favour except to give some emo sociapth his jollies...
I do want there to be option pvp, like the infamous duals outside act 1 town... but the problem was everyone had so little life and high damage that it was just one shot city.

It all depends on how the game is. But pk'ing was ONE of the great things that made d2 more exciting. all the scams and tricks gave the game so much character, there was always more to do. if you were never scammed then you never experienced what d2 was all about. but if d3 has it's own flavor that could change of course.
just remember how great it felt to wipe out a baal bot and all of the people in the room at once! talk about great times, i was never more excited than when i was about to pull the trigger against 7 players and a bot. just great stuff. and unless you were stupid the risk of getting pk'd was very minimal.
keep pk'ing alive, unless the game has it's own unique characteristics. it'll take time.

If you want PKing there is all sorts of massive PvP based games.
I'm sure they'll fix the problems that come along with NOT being able to PK such as noobs bothering you or stealing loot.
Um, no one can steal other peoples drops because the drops are for each player (in Diablo III.)

And the best part is when you can kill the jerk doing it and they just leave without another word.
I wouldn't run around admitting that. . .
Exactly PKing serves no purpose.
PK means 'player kill', clicking the hostile button and going out using a waypoint or exisiting town and killing someone isn't a glitch.

Do us a favor and stay out of D3 also, thanks.
I'm sure they'll "fix" those problems too.

Go back to WoW did you even play D2? At all??
Sorry, I meant gameplay mechanic glitch, meaning that they originally didn't design the hostility system to work like that.
I suppose if I was only 10 years old and it was summer vacation and I couldn't drive yet I'd be pretty angsty too.

Like diablo 2 right?

EXACTLY! Now that you all realize this ISN'T Diablo 2, it's Diablo 3, can we move along peacefully?
