“I know that can be a scary thing to say to people. “One of the early emphases of the PVP in Diablo 4 was trying to erase the idea that PVP needs to be fair,” Piopiora explained. Instead, the goal of the Diablo overworld PVP system is to introduce a sense of risk and an extra layer of challenge onto the game for players who want it. The developers were excited to share that this PVP system is not designed with fairness in mind. If they are able to kill you, all the unpurified shards of hatred that you were carrying will be dropped, and they will be able to take those from you and move along on their merry way.” “You could easily work alongside the players you meet in the fields of hatred, or they could turn hostile and come and attack you. “While you are other players can come across you, creating that anxiety when you are in overworld PVP, where you don’t know if another player will help you or hurt you,” Piopiora said. However, purification of the shards isn’t an easy task, since many players will be hunting for targets to kill. To maintain their significance the items also can’t be traded, so if someone has a PVP-specific item, they earned it. While the items will not improve player stats in any way, they will operate as a form of bragging rights and prestige. Once purified, you can use shards of hatred to buy special PVP items at vendors in the game. I am taking a risk, it’s the kind of high-risk high reward gameplay that we are looking for as a part of overworld PVP.” “If I become hostile when I am going around the fields of hatred, every other hero will see me as an enemy,” Piopiora stated. There is no way for players to force other players to become hostile by mistake, so becoming hostile will always be a decision that players make. When hostile, you can attack other players, but you will also be marked as dangerous to all the players you come across. When inside the fields of hatred, players can choose to mark themselves as hostile. But they are filled with monsters, events, chests to find, rare elites to kill, and all the regular trappings you expect to find throughout the overworld of Diablo 4.” “For PVP and Sanctuary, we have these areas that are called fields of hatred, which are open-world PVP areas. “Diablo 4 being our first open-world diablo game, we are trying to really embrace what that can mean,” explained Diablo 4’s Systems Designer Joe Piepiora. You can purify those shards of hatred at purification areas that are also located inside the fields of hatred. In these areas, you can kill enemies and open chests that will drop unpurified shards of hatred. Fields of hatred are areas of the overworld that have been cursed by Lillith. The new system emphasizes organic combat experiences over a sense of pure fairness, a point that the developers made very clear at the press conference.Īll of Diablo’s open-world PVP opportunities exist inside fields of hatred.

Could the introduction of a more dedicated stealth-based gameplay system and deeper puzzle mechanics be beneficial to the title or is that too far from what the fans expect? When Should We Expect News? They are there, in some rudimentary sense, but Diablo is primarily a hack-and-slash isometric ARPG. Puzzle mechanics and stealth are two things that Diablo 4 could, and should, explore in more detail. We know that Diablo 4 is going to explore more detail in cinematics and cutscenes, however, should their exploration be more focused on gameplay elements rather than cosmetics?
