EPT"After working for a few years we still have no idea how to make PvP work, So we give you a Dueling instead."
GG Diablo3 team.
And this game still doesn't have a custom chat channel, I don't think duel will be fun like D2.

No they dont. Did you ever pvp in d2? Shit was inbalanced as hell, and yet it still happened. They don't HAVE to do shit about the crybabies. Those will always exist, no matter what. There's no point in even trying to please them. You might as well please the rest of the playerbase by letting us whack the crap out of each other. Of course it's "mindless" it's fucking diablo. So is farming. I just want to go in 5v5 and spam buttons and die or get kills. Why is that so difficult to understand? It's ok if I go into mp10 and just spam buttons, but not against other players? What a backward ass thought process. | ||

I honestly feel bad for every non-management designer and artist and programmer working on this project. If this is the kind of shit we see being released to the public it must be an absolute backstabbing nightmare clusterfuck of failure and politics on the internal side. Regardless, the entire Diablo 3 team has been an unmitigated disaster and if Blizzard doesn't completely purge and reboot a huge portion of it then I would call that a good sign that the company is beyond saving. | ||

The incentive to PVP should be betting, or even getting the other's entire gear. I think thats rewarding enough. Regarding balance, I think skills just needs to be scaled. The real imbalance come from the equipments, which was always like that in diablo 2. You don't need to balance that since those items can always get better. | ||

What is depressing and sad is just how little i cared when i read this news, i am (or well..was) a huge Diablo and Blizzard fan, and they have botched this game so badly from the start that i dont even care about anything regarding the game. I know, cool story bro etc, if they tomorrow said they accidentally deleted all our characters i would not even give it a shrug. The *only* thing that would make me give a shit about this game and its inevitable expansion pack if they fired Jay Wilson and whoever has been responsible for how this game has been run into the ground. In 2010 they had a rune system, skill tree and PvP + Arenas, we are 3 years away soon from that and we have less. Its not that firing Jay Wilson would make the game instantly better but at least it would offer a happy yet bitter ending to this goddamn nightmare that has been Diablo 3. I could finally close the book on it and just be happy that those who weren't qualified were at least removed from their position. SC fans have no idea how lucky we are, the biggest complaint about Bowder we got is he likes rocks on maps and says terrible terrible damage. Whereas Wilson has done the unthinkable, forget about John Romero because Daikatana had no chance of ever being good, forget that fat guy who was responsible for Duke Nukem Forever because all Duke ever was, was a relic from the 1980s action movies in stale even at that point Doom clones. Wilson did far worse than them, in his words, fuck that loser | ||

An apology letter would have been appropriate a few months ago, but not this late. At this point, people have spend countless hours of time and even money so that they can gear up their character in anticipation of PvP. Absolutely, *especially* since they delayed the PvP blog... and for what? To get our hopes up to crush them it looks like. The dueling announcement is a total joke. They know it's not balanced but they're ok with giving it to us. The rest of the PvP features they aren''t giving us because it's not balanced... If anything Dueling should have been available from Day 1 and that would have given them some insight into what was going to break PvP. Instead PvP is probably going to be part of the expansion at this rate and still be terrible. | ||
