Any PvP?

[Jiro]

Not sure if the first game had that but, game seems fun without PvP. Would just love some end game stuff to do with players if possible.

Just casual Duels for the moment.

I think they said there technically was PvP but it's not the focus and it'd be damn near impossible to balance.

[The_Driver]

Yes, but don't expect any kind of balance, as it's just an afterthought and wasn't popular in poe1.

[Hiroko]

Not sure if they have it in already or not, but likely they'll do what they did in poe1 and just make a special dueling arena and call it good. No balance changes specific to pvp or anything like that. Its too much effort something that so very few people would spend so very little time in.

meh to balance I just want to fight players eventually. It's fun to see how they build their characters.

Duels, you want more than that you are out of luck
POE has always been about PVE and it ain't changing

well shoot, I'd really like to interact with players after playing a lot and we've customized our characters to match our play styles.

Well you can do a silly duel for the laughs, making the devs waste time trying to balance all of the myriad skills and combinations for PvP would be pure idiocy for a tiny crowd

I never said anything about balancing. I'd just really like to interact with the players if it's an online game.

You can interact with people, you often see people in the hubs

[Charnel]

Well the only interacting you want is pvp so no you aren't getting it

You can party up and play with other people. There's also duels, but PVP is largely just an afterthought in PoE. Most players aren't interested in dueling in my experience.

There's a notice board thing that you can use to join other random peoples open co-op games and do stuff with them. I've always found it's easier to find groups to play with through discord, though.

cool and stuff, but grouping up to all individually attack a mob while healing each other, but also not allowed to harm each other is permitted action not interaction. I really wish they would consider that and think about it. Trading is cool too. I'm sure you can chat with people...but you can do all of that...on facebook. It's not basically a single player grind game with the illusion of players being nearby that can sometimes help you, right?
