    posted a message on Addiction...
    It is now over a year before this game even comes out and i am sitting here at the end of my workday reminiscing on the last 8 hours of my life. Inbetween doing work and scratching my balls (you guys know what i mean), all i have been doing is refreshing these forums and looking up any new info i can get on this game.. A YEAR IN ADVANCE..

    What im really trying to say is.. if im already this addicted (oh, and i have a good and eventful life, its not even that i have nothign better to do)... how the hell am I gonna be when this game actually comes out?

    anyone feeling the same?

    and that is the point I was getting at....even the "core" D1 & D2 teams don't have pking in either of the games they have worked on since leaving Blizzard (GuildWars & Hellgate:London). They have PvP, which is fine and does not affect me since I don't PvP. They can duel until they are blue in the face and I can get the enjoyment I want out of the game and both types of gamers are happy.

    this isnt GW or hellgate london.. this is Diablo.. its how diablo ALWAYS was, and always should be.. if you want that type of game then you should be forced to play GW or hellgate. DIablo however, should remain how it always has been (even though it wont), and the people who dont liek that.. well then its simply not the game for them.
    Why dont people understand this.. there are so many games out there that you should choose the best fit for you.... not actively try and change other games to their specifications.

    blizzard is blinded by revenues and a new fan base and hindered by the loss of the core diablo team.

    as long as they dont completely trash PK'ing i dont really care... if there is an option to play with or without it, i dont really think it will hurt anything, plenty of people will still play with it enabled. if anything it expands the game a level by not having to worry about people bitching at you for PK'ing them. all the people that dont want it will be gone in their safe worlds, and we will be able to PK without any complaining.

    its true but it still subtracts a littel bit. If all the people that dont want it are gone.. then your world is full of people who DO want it.. doesnt that just turn it into consensual PvP?

    it just makes me sad because all of this debating is in vain.. blizzard will NEVER ignor these carebears and in the end there is gonna be a way for them to play without PKs... which on some level destroys the legacy of diablo.

    You are by your own post admitting that most people don't like Pk " everyone will set their games to non-pk " if someone doesn't want to PK that is there option. if you want to PK it is your option we shouldn't have to be chased around from game to game just so someone can get their rocks off by having your ear, given the option I will ALWAY! be anti Pk if Pk'ers stay in their games then I'll stay in mine.

    I am not admitting that people dont like it.. im merely saying that given the choice, any rational person will make a game in which they dont want to pvp, a non pk game, and the ones that they do, a pk game... thus effectively ending the true purpose of implementing PK in the game cause every game that is PK-enabled will just be a consensual dueling game.

    Well I have pwned a mob only to be low on health only to be pwned by a random pk'er. THAT is not fun. That makes you curse like a sailor. Especially if you loose a hard earned item.... like I have. Also, to say I am not a fan just because I suggest a certain option that you don't agree with doesn't mean (1. any less of a fan than you and (2. that it would be implemented. We can agree to disagree and go from there. I've done enough PvP in MANY other games to honstly say that PK'ing itself should not be removed from the game.

    The main issue here at this point, however, is that to do anything to change the PvP system of diablo at all.. besideas fix the obvious problems such as griefing and hackes.. would be doing a great disservice to a unique game.

    yes.. its actually quite a bit of work on the PKers part to actually find you and then pk you. if they are gonna put in enough effort to do that, there are plenty of options you have before they get to you. it sucks you have to stop everything your doing and react to what they are doing, but its part of the game.
    finally someone with some reason!

    you too cbr

    Again, I speak from experience. In D2, MOST of the time they would enable the "hostle" once they were in the vacinity of where you were. Granted IDK if that was changed AFTER I stopped playing the MP feature of D2. So at least with that said. My suggestion is valid.
    In D2 you could only go hostile from town. Then if you had any TPs up, once hostile they would disappear.
    There was no way to go hostile once in the vacinity of another player, you had to search and seize.

    From my experience, the "hackers" and "Griefers" WERE the ones that mostly PK'ed. The "kids" that had no other way to "vent" than by the pleasure of PK'ing. I am not saying you are one of those. Just understand how a good thing can be abused. I will say it a 3rd time. I am not suggesting we take the PK'ing out. Just the RANDOM PK'ing upon players who MIGHT want a relaxing MP game with friends. The duel option will remain, I do beleve.

    Well i respectfully disagree... there are ways that griefing and hacking can be taken care of on the new bnet... but PK is simply part of this game and should not be an option... dieing to a player is the same thing as dieing to a mob in diablo. Not in every game is it like this.. but it always has been for diablo... in my opinion, the opinion of a true diablo franchise fan, this should not be an option.

    What do you mean "zero competition"? The loot drops were pretty random in MP in D1 and D2 so one never knew what they would get. As of the PK'ing issue again, the only competiton would be between the 2 players, or more, not who killed the boss first or what not. If you think about it the competiton would increase because you would be only dealing with EXPERIENCED PK'ers.......hmmm....."EXPERIENCED PK'ers"?... That's what it's about. YOU WANT EASY KILLS!!! Diablo forbid you from having easy PK'S. Diablo ALSO forbid random PK'ing rampages going from MP game to MP game. Especially if hackers start running amok again and Blizzard has to play catch-up all the time to hinder the hackers. So why not let us that don't want to have deal with random PK'ers have the option to enable or disable those features? Or least not want to have to deal with it YET. ;)

    We are NOT talking abotu hackers or griefers. We are talking about PK and Blizzard, before recently, has always been pro PK. Hell.. they CREATED PK. And the competition comes in when you and anotehr person, not in the same group, are after the same mob... what do you do then? you fight it out and winner takes all. OR.. it comes when someone wants to kill you and yoru forced to stand up for yourself. Either way, its all part of the DIABLO universe... as i was saying.. if you dont like this experience then perhaps diablo was never the game for you. (But its a moot point because Blizzard is for sure gonna give you carebears your way)

    PK is so much so a part of diablo, and always has been, that being able to disable it would be the same thing as being able to disable death from mobs.
