GameSpy: There wasn't much content built specifically for PvP in the Diablo games. Fast forward to WoW, and you have lots of PvP-specific content. What approach to PvP are you taking with Diablo III?
Jay Wilson: We'd like there to be a dedicated PvP mode, and we'd like to move away from [how it worked in previous Diablo games] where players just enabled PvP. We don't have any specific plans yet because we haven't really made any active decisions. The only real PvP-oriented decision that we've made and announced is that we do not allow the "hostility mode" that Diablo II had where you can go into town, go hostile, pop back through a town portal, and insta-kill your friend. That just makes people not want to play the game. I know some people say, "Oh, you're taking the teeth out of Diablo." I understand why they feel that way, but making people not want to play together does not make for a better game. That's our feeling.
We definitely want there to be a PvP mode for PvP players, and we would like that mode to be a really serious, skill-based, very strong [aspect of the game]. I feel that on the side of all our games, we really try to make PvP games that cater to a competitive player, first and foremost. We don't try to dumb down or tone down our PvP games. We make [them] good, strong competitive games. StarCraft is one of the best examples. But in terms of what our actual plans are for Diablo III, we don't have anything to specifically announce right now, mostly because we're still messing around with a bunch of different ideas.
Why doesn't it surprise me that a Blizzard representative doesn't understand how hostility works in D2?
He could be reffering to the hack which enables a player to do exactly what he describes

I'm really starting to like this Wilson bloke, he seems to agree with me a lot... afai'm concerned, non exclusive skill>time pvp has gone from being a pipe dream to a real possibility.

I don't play anymore, but I'm still quite confident such a hack doesn't exist. Earlier versions of D2 however were FAR more lenient in this regard and it was more widely possible to kill players without warning without hacks.

it does exist, but it doesn't work in quite the manner described.
it's known as "tppk". it's often used by a Blizzard sork who will cast a blizz atop their party, then tp back to town and go hostile (this stage is often done via a hack/script). the blizzard is still falling, so anyone under it gets nailed for full, pvp adjusted damage.
please dont toss the legitpk and the hacking scum on one and the same heap... that's really uninformed. legit pk's aint much of a problem anyway, they're easily avoided.
