Bringing in PKing like in D2 wont work in this day and age. Back in D2 people just played games for fun, so they didn't mind just making PK games and spending huge amounts of time to build a dueling character even though there was absolutely nothing to get from it.
Nowa days unless there is some sort of reward, ranking, balance etc. to it almost nobody will do it. D3 is the perfect example of this, nobody PvPs in D3. The option is there, but there's nothing to be gained from it so nobody does it. People could make rules in it enjoy it just like they did in D2 but they don't.
Personally I'd like to see a runescape Wilderness like thing built, where the enemies had increased rewards but the zones were shared and pvp was enabled meaning players actually fought over the area to get the rewards. Something like this would marry the pve-loot farming thing of ARPGs with PvP. Although I fear this would end up just getting overrun with guilds of 20+ players effectively owning the zone for themselves so don't know how you would balance that.
People can't do any rules for PvP and enjoy it because the pvp itself is not balanced at all. The PVP in D3 is whoever is faster is the winner.
What we've seen in the trailer was that barbarian chasing the soso in D4. Was looking like a PVP in an open world. I would like and I believe will be arenas for 1v1 up to 3v3. And something simple so you can invite someone to duel wherever you are on the map.
I'm hoping they'll balance the heroes and the game well this time. Because to be honest first Diablo was released in '96 so they've got enough experience to sort things out.
Remind guys that PVP even on Diablo 2 was crap without balancing rules. Who did these rules? Players, for themselves.
Thou shall do the rules then. !
Me personally I'm not looking forward to a similar pk like in D2. Just hope that will be a system when you can provoke someone for duel or arena or something more organized anyway but simple and balanced.
At blizzcon they said there will be pvp zones where everybody in that/these zones will have "pvp enabled". Guess that means that outside these zones, pvp will not be possible.
Makes sense. I would like arena. A few nice looking good design arenas. Something like you can see in Lost Ark arena pvp gameplays. Looks awesome!
Some people say that there was no pvp in D2 but something more like a pk. To be honest I loved it in there. For me Diablo 3 doesn't has any kind of Duel/ PvP/ Arena or anything else. I seen in D4 gameplay trailer a little fight between two players. Could that be a pvp like in D2 where each players hit the 'hostile' button and then 'go' and start? Or just a 'pk' hunting another player around the huge open world map that we'll have
What do you guys think?
