Is PK-ing a deal breaker?

With this: http://www.diabloii.net/n/669431/pking-played-down

in mind.

Do you consider the lack of PK options a reason for NOT buying the Diablo 3 game.

Some people were pretty adamant about this in the first thread this forum ever had so I thought a poll was in order to see how big a deal this was/is. Is this "decision" going to "hurt" blizzard?

Re: Is PK-ing a deal breaker?

To some I'm sure having no pking is a minor drawback but not worth quitting a game over especially since pvp is still an intended feature of the game. Also, the fact that people won't be able to grief you as easily will satisfy the majority of gamers. Personally I think it's one of the less controversial innovations of d3.

It would be a lie if I said I wouldn't buy it, but I would most certainly get bored much quicker and quit without it.

Re: Is PK-ing a deal breaker?

If PK's nerfed to the point that it looks like Runescape post-Wildy, then I don't think I'd buy it. If there was a timer, I'm talking something only like 5-10 seconds assuming TP will be nerfed, then I think it would be perfectly acceptable.

Re: Is PK-ing a deal breaker?

I am waiting to see how they handle the other issues however i hope they do something about pk. it is a stupid system. being able to just go around and kill whomever you want while they are playing their game is rude and immature.

as the dev from turbine said ok good joke but stupid after a while.

as i posted in the other thread. you should have a tag that says you are in ffa mode. if someone else is in that mode then they can attack you if they wish to. if the tag is turned off you are not able to be attacked.

this will let the people that wish to grief each other grief each other and those of us who wish to play the game without dealing with the griefers.

it is annoying to lose time money and xp to someone when you had no choice in the matter.

Allow pple to decide whether they can be pked or not. So that those who love PK can play among themselves

Re: Is PK-ing a deal breaker?

I don't PK myself, but without PK as an added risk I can't imagine D3 really holding my interest for long. They'll probably get my money for the new adventure of playing through with my friends but PvM gets so pathetically easy in D2 if it's anything similar in D3 the game will collect dust on the shelf way sooner than D2 with at least the possibility of being Pked

Than it's not really PK is it? It's PvP. If you're going to post on a subject you might just want to know the definitions of the concepts you're posting about.

Re: Is PK-ing a deal breaker?

Yea but whats the point of being attacked for no reason when u want to just play the game and not kill somebody just out of spite. Its gonna take concentration enough not to get swarmed by the monsters around, let alone having some bastard come after u trying to kill u just for the heck of it
