TITLE: Diablo 3 PvP: A Brief Message about the Revolution of PvP in Diablo 3

Welcome, I am a true Diablo die-hard, and I could not let my fellow brethen go any longer without new D3 news. I am here to tell you that this Diablo 3 title will blow the other 2 out of the water forever. "but how could it be so much better, Mr?" Well, thats easy. The Pvp is better. "How So" Well, let me tell you Timmy. Up on mount arreat, where the training of the barbarians is constant, they built these "Battle Rooms" where 5 players face off vs 5 other players. Of course 1v1 2v2 3v3 and 4v4 are acceptible as well. They play battle games such as, Last man left standing (team or ffa), Capture the Flag, The Ear Game, and many more.. "but how will battle.net find my 5v5 (4v4 ect ) team an opposing team to play fast and effienct?!" Don't you see it, Timmy? They have set it up much like the WC3 system, You join a party on battle.net and just name your game and search. "But old battle net wc3 games have like 40 mins wait at the high-end some times". Yes but this is Battle Net 2.0 *****es ( I don't know much about this yet but it supports everything smoothy and rumors are being spoken about revolutionary to gaming). "Wow, i just came"... I did too.

Details?
Ladder System: best teams in thier respected fields will be top of the ladder and Gateway tournements are subject early after release and frequent after that. Cash prizes maybe if we land a Tv spot in Korea (details are being worked out. highly possible, 10-1 odds that we get it) This means offline tournements for the finalist at a primer location.
Game play: Think DOTA type in some cases with larger maps great for cature the flag and large team games. But also the small levels that are just an absolute blast to play.
Games: There are about 6 i dont want to reveal any more because they are in early design.

I love you, and I love Diablo.

I'm finding out who you are and billing you for the replacement of my freshly stained boxers.

Lol! So PvP in sanctioned arenas but no pk? I mean, you don't exactly say that pk will be abolished, but the fact that you mention all these other details without mentioning pk implies no pk... or at least gives the strong impression of no pk.

And no sir, I don't like it!

pk sucks anyway, make d3 where you can create pvp only games which stuff like he stated above. i think that you should be able to support more than 5v5 though if there are no monsters or the such. seeing big battles of 10v10 or more would truely be fun and greatly increase replay value

boring.

But if this reduces or removes the non consentual ingame pvp I'm not opposed to it, except for the fact that focusing the endgame on PvP is a poor design choice.

I like the idea, but I doubt the info is legit.

But yeah, I'm so sick and tired of uncontrolled PvP battles in Blood Moore.

Of course it's not legit. Just a fanboy pipe dream. And a clueless one.

Arreat Summit is now Arreat Crater. So there is no more "up on Mount Arreat."
