Customized PvP area in hideouts

What makes you think it blows?

Have you done it recently with anyone?

I'd understand if maybe he did it with a bunch of TeeWunners using obnoxious 1-shot shit, or maybe if his teammates sucked.

But without all that shit, it'd be much more fun, and gives some players an opportunity to shine in some ways.

I'm not a team player. I'd rather do everything myself, why I prefer 1v1. PvP to me is being able to beat as many ppl at once with smarter play, better item combinations. This game really rarely offers that unless I chose to build some lame shit and not melee but hey...this threads not about this. I win enough, I just don't log in for more then a few minutes anymore. Swapping my inventory to PvP but instead sit idle in town doing nothing..I'd rather go do something else.

Sounds like you have the same issue I had with league of legends back when I still played.

I took it too seriously because it was competitive and just didn't see the fun in fucking around.



Losing sucks, I know that. But knowing that PoE is on the complete other end of the spectrum in terms of competitiveness, I get to take all of it much more casually. I care about my builds and the fun factor is obviously tenfold when the teams are balanced, but overall it's a fun experience if you take it for what it is.


Anyway, I'm not forcing you. Having an additional player to queue with us is always nice tho, just offering.

the casual hideout pvp would definitely get people thinking about pvp. It would interest people who like making arenas too. The layout of maps is very important in pvp and if someone had a good arena set up, it would add prestige to the hideout. People would wait in line to go and pvp there, or copy the arena set up. Eventually people would customize pvp tourneys in hideouts or queue up for pvp or try sarn out. MullaXul is right, anything that highlights pvp and makes people think about it, is good for the movement. I think this would also make pvp way more social. Diablo 2 didnt have any special pvp set up and people would play 10 hours a day in act 1 running out of town and back in dueling over and over. I think hideout pvp would be similar but WAY better.

You should probably try some other game genre. These games have never worked like that and never will because well, they are arpgs.

I play other games that require frame data knowledge, reads,reactions, technology etc. Arpgs let you dominate many ppl at once, itspossible and often is the result of better build or smarter play. Blitz and FFA events we once had were prob my ideal PvP outside of 1v1. Its as I said though when you wait in queue long enough its just better to log out and do something else.
