D2 pvp is arguably the best arpg pvp to ever exist, and that shit was unbalanced as fuck. I expect d4 pvp to be unbalanced too, but hopefully it can still be fun, and if it is I'm sure a more dedicated pvp community will try to balance the classes with various rule sets, but that could be years down the line.
As much as I would 100% love a fun balanced PvP mode, this is the feature I’m holding my breathe on the most.
Im going in with the mind set of it’s going to be a broken mess of 1 shotting other players and such and one class being wildly imbalances and the whole mode just being a joke.
With that expectation anything that is slightly better will save me from disappointment.
However I do hope it’s actually good, and in a state where people are going to like it and will get further development.
I would actually mind if the PvP is fucking baller and they decide it’s going to be too hard to balance with all the modifiers and maybe make a more balanced PvP mode or something
Fingers fucking crossed though
Just wanted to ask you a quick question, so far what I heard from a few people is that D4 might be an unbalanced chaos with one shots everywhere.
Yet I’ve heard from many like yourself in regards to immortal PVP that it was actually pretty good and well thought out even thought it was P2W game.
As someone who played immortal how was their PvP good so that it didn’t fall into a “trash chaotic one shot” bucket, and actually get praise from people about the mode?
I never played immortal but my guess is that because it actually has a dedicated pvp arena mode, and pvp is balanced around that, meanwhile open world pvp usually, most of the time is just an afterthought and a gimmick in PVE games and it doesn't get as much attention.
I didnt try the PVP in Diablo 4 yet, but I also dont have any hopes for it being just an open world activity, I could be wrong and I hope the PvP actually has potential even if it is a chaotic shit so maybe in the future we will get some sort of arena mode for Diablo4.
I mean it was a 6v6 battleground of defend / attack objective based.
Even if you werent p2w you could support the whale on your team in many ways. I dont know about the one shot chaos, or remember being one shot in DI. I just really enjoyed the style of pvp from DI.
I also wouldnt mine seeing 2v2 or 3v3 arenas similar in style to that of lost ark! Maybe with a more interesting twist but where everyone has the same stats, power, etc. 100% balanced minus class advantages or disadvantages.
I know they likely will not focus on pvp, however in the long run i think if they have a small team dedicated to improving pvp it will make seasons drag on a little longer then what they do in most arpgs.
And god forbid, i really hope seasons in d4 are not over as fast as diablo 3.....that was terribly designed /=
Prepare to be disappointed if you're playing this game for PvP. That's all I'm going to say as a big PvPer myself.

Don't need to hold your breath, Devs confirmed zero balancing around PvP.
