Our primary motivator when hosting each BlizzCon is to provide an epic atmosphere for members of the community to meet up and share their common passion for Blizzard games. In keeping with that tradition, at this year's BlizzCon we'll be facilitating the first-ever BlizzChat: Community Live! Attendees will be given a venue to discuss a number of focused topics pertaining to the Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft universes and gameplay. If you're coming to BlizzCon at the Anaheim Convention Center this October 22 and 23, be sure to check out the schedule below. Don't miss the opportunity to share your thoughts on a wide array of subjects with fellow gaming enthusiasts.
Dueling has always been a big part of Diablo II and remains a huge factor in the game's logevity. However, there is obviously some major problems with the system. While they have not released any information on PvP in Diablo III yet, they have said it is something they want to improve from the older game. With a set time just to discuss PvP in this live chat, it is safe to assume that they will be giving us some information to talk about.
For more information on the new chat rooms and a full list of the schedules of topics, see here.
Nice find there. + Rep
Thanks Maggy and the rest of the News Staff. Sweet news!
for PvE hardcore players like myself it's amazingly awful to lose a character because someone thought it would be fun to attack me while i'm killing monsters. an option to make hostilities availiable on game creation could work.
"Diablo III's PvP System to be Revealed at Blizzcon"
Anyways, I'm pretty glad that the Diablo team is actually putting substantial effort into making the PvP system work, and not just have PvP be tacked on to the final product. People love their co-op just as much as they love their PvP.
Yeah, I was so confused when I first read the topics name haha. Oh well, hopefully on the 22nd there will be a topic with the same name
I don't want all that, I just want a mediocre to decent streaming for the tournament matches to watch IF I have the time. I won't buy something that I don't know if I will have time to watch.
