Where's the PvP

[FluorideFree]

This game should have rated instanced PvP arenas where gear would be down scaled for balanced purposes and stats adjustments. (Only INSIDE the instanced arenas of course, so no impact for anyone else.)

Don't tell me it would require too much resources for too small of an audience as PvP maintenance requires about 0.01% of what PvE does with the new content needed to be added to keep people playing. (Maps, enemies, bosses, new mechanics, gear and so on)

Literally could get away with a team of ONE dude releasing balance patches every month. There's no excuses.

Please restrain yourself from commenting : "Go play another game if you want PvP, there's plenty of PvP games out there."

How about some people have the right to wish they could play an ARPG that also contains decent instanced PvP with ranks.

It's in POE1, it'll probably come in POE2 at some point, but it's not a focus

Calm your tits

I'm calm and it's a legitimate question.

Well, considering there are major balance issues, half the classes are missing, and still need to complete 3 more Acts, I'm going out on a limb and saying... it's probably going to be sometime after tomorrow.

Not a priority.

I understand the game in in Early Access. Not asking for it right now or next month but it seems like they are not even planning on adding it for full release.

D2R PVP

[surreptitious]

Pvp is garbage.
worst thing to put in a game

[Tactical Drongo]

While I am of the opinion that avoiding pvp is more beneficial for most (single player/co-op) games then trying to shoehorn it in somehow

considering that the first game had pvp it is likely that it will come at some point

like stated before - we are in the early access of this mostly sp/co-op game with half the story and classes missing and balance that still gets *heavily* tinkered on

might be a while, don't hold your breath

The first game had PvP and it's practically dead. People have to organize games just to get the achievements. If it's that dead in PoE1, why would the developers even want to invest time into it in PoE2? That's before you get into the issues with them being unable to balance classes around PvE content while balancing around PvP has always been difficult when both are in a game. If you want PvP you'll want to look elsewhere. Even if they do implement it, which is doubtful, the reception will probably be similar to PoE1.

As if you'd be obliged to play it.

Path of Exile 1 does not have PvP with a ranking system. It's dead and bad because they never made any kind of effort to actually make it good.

Once you implement a good PvP system, it only requires minimal maintenance.

Yet another thing they've demonstrated they can't/won't do. Current PvE rankings are first come first served and don't reflect anything other than who hit max XP first. There is no boss kill rankings, breach rankings, etc. The only thing that is remotely similar is a deepest delve ranking in PoE1.

I'm all for more player options but trying to force devs to do something they've clearly discounted or not comfortable in doing is just going to hurt the activity you want to do. Not all games suit all play styles or modes. If you truly want PvP then you should try to get them to fix it in PoE1 since they already have a working model there to work off of. It would give them experience to not botch it if they implement it in PoE2.

OK, I will restrain myself, and instead make a different comment... the second word is "off".
