Why and how do people do PvP? I can't see any point in it.

Also what quest do you HAVE to complete as i tried an nm arcane tp but couldn't even though same team?


Any help?

People do PvP because they are bored of slaying off AI monsters, or so I could expect. As for how, they hostile each other, and have a duel, like a sword duel, except it's in d2.

You will have to have a full Horadric staff, so you must have: Horadric Cube (Halls of Dead), The Staff of Kings (Maggot Lair) and The Viper Amulet (The tomb-place in Valley of Snakes). Then you put The Staff of Kings and The Viper Amulet to Horadric Cube and press the button on The Horadric Cube.

Nobody will win/lose any experience. Being killed by another player does not make you lose experience as you usually do when you die in nightmare/hell games.

In order to access the arcane sanctuary, you only need to have completed the claw viper quest. You don't even need to have the viper amulet, but as long as the alter is smashed, and you received quest credit, you can take any TP to the arcane sanctuary.

On that note, I remember awhile ago that if you were in a game whereby the Claw viper alter quest was completed but you did not receive credit for one reason or another (ie, different party to the one that completed the quest, or say party but your sitting in Act 1) then you might still be able take any town portals to the arcane, but not if you only joined after the quest was done, or if the quest was done previously.

That's the gentlemanly way to duel in D2. What usually seems to happen (at least lately) is some arse munch joins a public game goes hostile to everyone and just kills everybody or chases them out of their game.


Thebhoy: please note that going hostile can be a unilateral action but refusing to go hostile yourself offers not the slightest protection. They can still kill you if you venture outside of town.
