  • you should lose everything

  • not lose everything forever but maybe for a time that is set after your current level maybe?

  • you have to love this site, free GSL puntfv dot info

  • Comment removed

  • Have it as something to where if you right-click somebody, there will be options, and one of those options is to form a team against another team of players who they have met. Have the arena and all of the stats recorded to where people can see it on the diablo site.

  • I think there should be both a hardcore arena in which if a player's character dies, they die permanently; and if a player's character dies, then it won't die permanently. Have those two different options for players to choose from. I understand that it may extend queue time for players, but i don't think the queue time would be very short if player's were willing to risk their character dying permanently anyway-

  • Make UBER items no-drop, Problem solved

  • So there is no offline single player?

  • I really don't like how that sounds. It seems to me that, with those kind of drop rates, one could conceivably play Diablo 3 for years and never find one. Does that mean that the only way for those people to obtain them is to buy them with their real money? I think it would be a better idea if they just limit the number of times those rare items can be sold in the AH every hour. Only let the rarest items be sold like 25 times an hour or something.

  • So wait a minute, let me get this straight, they are making the higher end items so astronomically hard to find that there is no way for them to flood the market? Do you realize just how low the drop rate would have to be in order for that to work? When you have hundreds of thousands of people killing billions of monsters daily even the rarest of items will probably drop a few hundred times unless it has like a 1 in 100,000,000 chance of it dropping.

  • Omg that rare ba at 2:10 :O

  • well it is hardcore so its only fair for hardcore arena to be well hardcore if u dont wanna die permanently while playing arena theres normal mode then. my opinion is hardcore = hardcore all the way

  • For the most recent information and videos on Diablo III Beta, and gameplay check out SlyeGuide,com. At SlyeGuide we have everything you need to prepare for Diablo III !!!

  • Man, If I loose my own gear for some pety farmer I kill him. But hunting farmers and stealing their loot is most pleasing. Perhaps that would solve the farmer problem.

  • HC PvP : It can be by choice , for instance If some team challenges you for a figth to death and loot , then the other side can choose to accept or not ... It can be exciting .... Actually this the same option can be available for other players except the death part .

  • Hardcore should certainly exist, but I would like it to work through wagers. The players should be able to bet some of their gear or money (or all of it) on their victory. This way, there would be different variabilities of how hardcore the PvP could be. In addition, high wager games should award more rating or honor or some kind of other PvP points that would add to the players status. These points could be entirely decorative or award titles or such.

  • I like how people who don't like the graphics are somehow not fans because they didn't create the games. I thinks it's precisely because they are Diablo I and II fans that they are complaining. George Lucas created Star Wars but that doesn't mean he should have created the prequels. This is coming off more and more like a cynical cash grab in which a hardcore game is streamlined to appeal to casual gamers.

  • I've heard they are removing "hostility" from the game. I think it should just be a game option when you create the room as to whether or not you wish to allow players to declare hostility to each other at any point during the game.

  • Not many will risk all their gear or even a high lvl item in one fight..

    Sure the other player can be better equipped and win, but imagine you play against an easy opponent with no serious gear and the you get lag, or pc problem or something that has nothing to do with the game and lose your item for nothing...

    I believe that winning in the arena should provide some rewards like items, titles or something like that

  • Maybe losing in HC arena could be some smaller loss than a full? Like each player have to bet an item of rather high value in the match; if you lose, the opponent gets it, and vice versa for a win.

    No runs sounds pretty good if it also means that "trash mobs" drop something valuable. Otherwise it will just be a lot of trash to go through before you get to the boss. And that just means runs but much longer and frustrating.

  • Make a HC arena and a SC arena both for HC players. I will play the SC arena for giggles till i saved enough to fall back on.

  • it should be such that hardcore players have the option to play "sandbox mode", "if you die, you die mode", and perhaps a "race you for pink slips mode" (by that i mean if you kill their character you acquire it.

  • thats what i love when the best or good items are hard to get like WoW used to be but now you get free epics basically

  • does anyone know if your arena pvp character is the exact same as your multiplayer character or do they give you designated gear? if not i feel it would be unbalanced

  • there should be an option to fight for the whole thing (Death forever) and not to lose anything and just be a sand box, it should just be an option

  • is there a difference playing against a hacked player or a bought player i think not. it will be like racing my buick regal against a bunch of ferrari. just allow a different realms for the hacked and earned players

  • I say make it an option. Either sandbox OR hardcore arena. The only problem is that arena fights aren't meant to last long, so its like throwing your character away. This basically restricts any true hardcore arena to a low-level kind of deal.

  • Man this is the best idea ever, for true hardcore gamers!! pussys dont play this mode >:D

  • @hoodymzpu Wtf douche that's just a fucking survey.

  • I know one of the developers ;))

  • If you die you lose your char? What kind of idiot comes up with these things.

  • @pvervloedquicknet it's called hardcore. YOu know, it requires a fear of death.

  • @pvervloedquicknet yeah that's what i thought " BAM *dead* you just lost your character and days of gameplay" but then again... it's not compulsory and having a high level no-bars; your char is lost pvp is a great way to maybe get super special items and to really have a "this is it - total adrenaline rush moment". I myself wouldn't do hardcore still though.

  • unless is in singleplayer, hardcore seems preety stupid to me

    but is one of those addicting things, so of course it will be in the games

  • Hardcore should be dead=dead even in an area; the rewards for winning area fights in HC mode should however reflect the risk. It seems like for example it might be a good, but risky place to enhance a low lev HC with high lev duels very rare/high stakes affairs.

  • Even if they keep the dupers at bay, you still got the problem of more and more highlvl items flooding into the market and much easier available now with the AH. How you deal with that issue? Simple enough: bring back durability and let items degrade. Let them destruct or become useless at a certain point so they can leave the economy and keep demand and prices up.

  • /watch?v=luiVcxpdkkQ

  • Users should lose their characters but Diablo should also give players a forfeit button. If player press the forfeit button, their character lives to fight another day and receive a loss for that match. Winners can have stats that have Wins and Deaths/Kills. We can debate on the when people can start forfeiting the match (Maybe after a certain amount of time has pasted).

  • when u die in diablo you lose your character forever? Im new to the series

  • @BrownSugar977 As far as I can remember, if you will die you will not lose your character forever unless you are in hardcore mode.

  • I think everyone would like to participate in Diablo 3 HC Arena but sooner or later die in the arena. Dying to lose a huge amount of experience 10% -20% (the highest level item), if you survive you earn 1% experience on the arena and item of the characters that you've killed  person

  • I think everyone would like to participate in Diablo 3 HC Arena but sooner or later die in the arena. Dying to lose a huge amount of experience 10% -20% (the highest level item), if you survive you earn 1% of the arena and experience of the characters that you've killed person

  • Maybe they can make a option in hc arena like giving the winner the choice to finish of the enemy forever or let them live or make a practice match and ranked match

  • Friend: Get a life!

    Me: I'm a gammer I have many lives

  • I feel that players who lose a hardcore arena match should be lost forever, however this should not boil down to simply dying. I have seen countless situations in arena based games where a teammate has gone down but their team was still able to pull out a win and if this was to occur I would personally be pissed if I had to w8 for my teammate to re-level in order to get back into the arena. Although I was always a big fan of killing some one for their loot in D2 and want to see it in D3 H-Arena

  • im thinking of doing tournaments, people has "that amount" of time to lvl their charracter to 60, gear up etc then start a tournament like ladder in previous D2. and give a tittle or some kind of reward to the last man standing (one life) but once you die in an hardcore tournament, you can still play on your alive charracter but only in monster killing. until the end of of the week(exp) ....

  • Maybe you should be unable to play your character for x amount of time if you die in pvp.

  • It'd be stupid to hardcore PVP Arena but if you want I think it should be an option

  • D3 needs to have both. I can easily see 99% of Hardcore character PvP being safe arena battles. However, I think it's necessary that there also be a Hardcore arena for those who want the joy of knowing the person they just defeated suffered the loss of months or more of work when they die. None of my hardcore characters felt 'complete' until they died gloriously in battle.

    Obviously, Hardcore Arena is for the few, the elite. But it needs to be there for that 1%.

  • @TelaranRogue \m/

  • @pager1991 rofl wow troll. Your blind as a bat. Better then d3? Your delusional. It took 1/6th of the time to make POH and its just a fail shit clone of diablo. D3 has 10x more detail in the graphics. Lmao

  • I like the Hardcore area but not lose your char. I think there should be like you said.. A last team standing type deal.

  • path of exile is fucking dope and graphics are fantastic, better than d3, i just got into the cb too.

  • If you die, that's it. I don't get second chances in real life either.

  • So you play your character for months, then die in pvp, then lose everything. that makes alot of sence rofl, i have a sugestion, how about when you die in pvp, the computer explodes, you get AIDS in RL and you lose all your RL money from the bank accounts, just for the LoL's.

  • @vaju79 yea, and on top of it you must sell your soul to satan and burn in eternal hellfire. Wouldnt that be ceeewl lol.

  • Hardcore arena:

    An option for a serious deathmatch, or;

    An option for a fun fight with fellow hardcore friends/players.

    perfect much?

  • hardcore should be elimination tournaments, where maybe like 16 characters fight and only the one with most losses loses?

    that would be in a perfect world, but possibly if you die in arena mode on 1v1 your character is injured for a week, meaning you cant play it, or you are very weak? (cannot heal over 100hp or some shit) for a week. this will cause you to not go into battle with it again b/c u dont wanna die

  • I'd like to be able to keep my character in hardcore arena; however I think I'd totally go for a gamble arena match. There is nothing to gain like rank in hardcore arena, and losing your character over nothing would suck, but if you win I'd gamble character or loot ownership with the challenger. SO if I lose the winner gets my loot or my character. I think that would be fun and consistent with hardcore.

  • i think item-loss upon death aint such a bad idea in general. You could also have a wheel of fortune like randomness, that decides the type of penalty. Might also set you back a lvl or 2... the higher your lvl, the more hurtful options.

    Furthermore i think that items should degrade by use, even when repaired, their magic should drop aswell. Everything should fade, so that you had to keep looking for new stuff all the time, which makes it more exciting.

  • Well if death isn't permanent then how can it be called hardcore at all? IMO they should include some kind of tournament element to the hardcore arena.

    Therefore death is only permanent if you advance to the final round and lose. Where as if you lose in the earlier rounds you lose gear or experience/levels. If you win in the final round you can loot your opponent(s) and the game gives you some very rare gear. Thus you would have both an reward incentive to play hardcore and the risk of loss.

  • @HulkSmashPunyHumans so ur saying hardcore should be hardcore just for the sake of it. do you have another constructive argument other than what all the other softcore sheep are saying? guess not go back sucking at wow

  • @Oztington007 "hardcore should be hardcore just for the sake of it" no that wasn't my argument. I never played wow and never will. go back to trolling and typing comment after comment like anyone gives a fuck what you think.

  • @HulkSmashPunyHumans I'm just asking you for 1 good reason and you can't, and now u call me a troll trying dismiss our argument, trying to sweep it under a rug, maybe everyone doesn't give a fuck of what i think, but i give a fuck about what everyone is thinking, so i want to know you're opinion on hardcore without saying hardcore is hardcore is hardcore.

  • @Oztington007 Sorry... I already stated my opinion concisely about how I think hardore arena should function in my first comment and I now have neither the time or the inclination to help a shit-for-brains moron develop reading comprehension skills nor play patty-cakes with a scumbag troll seeking attention, which ever one you are.

    This concludes our conversation as any further reply I receive from you will be simply deleted from my email inbox unread. goodbye...

  • looks good but bf3 will still beat mw3

  • @imalsomemphis and that kind of thing gets you excited? do you really care that a war game beats another war game? What is that gonna give you. The hype is going to bf3 ok.. but do you really think its going to change someting in the scheme of all things? really its like saying duh the wii is stupid the xbox is better yuk yuk yuk.. ok but who cares. maybe you do nerd but theres more important things in life than comparing a war game to another.

  • @Oztington007 lol man, can't you recognize a troll when you see one ? for me its mission accomplished, now thanks to your long reply im resuplied and go trolling on another video :)

  • @imalsomemphis you say you're a troll, but i dont care. who cant say a troll cant troll another troll. no, sir, ur no troll, but you know what you really are don't you. look inside yourself and tell me what you see

  • Hardcore dueling and losing your character..... stupid

    Having to be online while you play...... retarded

    Having to buy weapons and armor...... fucking retarted!

    why cant they stick the old school D2. Just buy the game and you didnt have to worry about playin online and buying weapons and armor for real money. And the only people that would buy those items are the people that are too fucking lazy to play the game and try to work for the good items they just want to take the lazy way out.

  • @Pbabin57 virtual gold will be sell-able for real money, and vice versa. That means that there is an opportunity for people to profit by trading the RMAH and virtual gold action houses and currencies against each other. And that means both markets will be virtually identical. So you will never have to pay any real money for items. You'll be able to get them for virtual gold. People who want money will then take your gold and sell it for real money.

    It'll practically be 1 market w/2 currencies.

  • hardcore dueling:

    Level

    I think you're level should drop, whether its to zero or some other deduction(-5,-10, etc) is a detail.

    Items:

    Items are never lost. People love their items too much to have them by lost imo.

  • Screw Blizzards, I am tired of waiting, I am sticking to League of Legends.

    Blizzards probably won't allow you to play offine anyway. They will make you register online and only let you play solo online while paying them $15 a month.

    The Blizzards company and employees will be putting up all the best gears so they can line their pockets with money. They will also be hacking and banning people's account like they do in World of Warcraft now.

  • SlyeGuide com the webs number one spot for DIABLO III up to date information on Character/Classes, rune system, Followers, Artisans AND MORE! All information on the greatly anticipated Diablo III, check us out SLYEGUIDE COM!

  • idk that hardcore should lose everything but there should be stacks like lose so many items if you die and the max stack would be your toon if there was a agreed stacks for dueling would make people happy and use it more with a max stack of losing you toon

  • NO way - if you wear the HARDCORE mantle then no matter where you go or what you are doing, if you die, thats it. Over.

  • blizzard gotta stop making diablo 3 for 14 years old who never played d2, and make it for those who were 14 years old when they played d2 and thought of it as the new definition of fun

  • It would be cool if you could wager items or gold in PvP.

  • can i link this to my facebook dat would be so cool lol nah just like achievements n microsoft points that would be nice thankyou blizzard.

  • Hardcore Arena:

    There should be two types of game mode, 'Friendly' and 'Iron Man' or something.

    Friendly; The duel, whether it be 1v1, 2v2, etc, takes place. The losers don't die permanently.

    Iron Man: The duel, whether it be 1v1, 2v2, etc, takes place. The losers die permanently.

  • this game is for straight up geeks who are going to give up there social life playing this

  • @Roberdots1 ...duhh

  • To me, hardcore should have an *optional* pvp deathmatch (literally, where perma-death can happen) in hardcore. But also an arena where you won't lose your character. Maybe even some sort of short tournament where when you reach the top you MUST fight to the death. The chance to die should be in the hardcore pvp somehow, just because it is hardcore mode and that is what it implies to me.

  • They should do it like Runescape did, you get to keep X items (say 3 for example) of your choice

  • demonic asians

  • But to clarify, I don't blame Blizzard. This is caused by global fiat money systems and their hollowing out of humanity. If it is something people can affect in any way, it is hollowed out by fiat money. The game is still gonna rock, but item prices will be determined by Blizzard's fees on listings.

    Their is an arbitrage opportunity between the fake gold and fake money, so players who think the markets are separate are mistaken. They'll essentially be the same.

  • The strategy of making the upper echelons of items extremely rare does nothing to solve the "farmer" problem. It simply means most players will never get these drops and will have to pay thug slave-keepers if they ever want one. And no, it isn't "farmers", it is slaves. If your choice is starve or work for pitiful money to not even feed yourself properly, you're a slave.

    Nobody who isn't cheating in some way will make money on Diablo 3 beyond what it costs per hour to keep a slave and run a pc.

  • fuck it i want to keep my stuff

  • i think hardcore pvp thing is stupid. and a waste of time.

  • @Snakeman02 im on east hardcore ladder on d2 and its hard to find duels. kids like you dont know shit.

  • wheres the beta???

  • i would rather play diablo 2, fuck path of exile

  • @lnclincoln yes my words exactly :-)

  • Hardcore = pointless.

  • @BusinessIDBAI u not bad ass enough for hardcore, stay in normal mode u bitch ass pussy AHAHAH@ !H qlkj d;alwieha;iej a;olijd ;oAWIjd a;wdlIJ

    jk

  • I think that you should be able to go offline, but items you earn offline will not be eligible to be put up on the auctionhouse.

  • How do u get in the Diablo 3 Beta?

  • Im in the path of exile beta, and i can tell u: it ROCKS!

  • @ferrellqlyr is it fake? probably

  • Force I'm trying to run the beta client for d3 I keep getting an error what ca I do?

  • @Russian718 Mine wouldn't send. It could have to do with your firewalls.

  • If your afraid to lose your character dont play hardcore. If you wanna practice play softcore

  • I dont think you should loose everything you got in your single player when you die in hardcore arena

  • you should be careful Force.. ppl are very stupid and they might think Path of Exile is Diablo 3

  • Comment removed

  • HOLY SH1T that arena fighting looked SICK!!!!!!

  • path of exile is FREE

    coool

  • Hardcore mode is hardcore - if you die, you lose everything. THAT is the point. Why should the PvP players be molly coddled and have their hardcore player be allowed to stay alive - when the inevitable happens.

    Solution: You want to play PvP arena, start a non-hardcare character. Easy!

  • Hardcore death is permanent. Go play softcore if you want a high level pvp playable char.

  • Make sure to check out diablogoldguide(dot) net for awesome investing ideas and how to maximize your income right from the bat!

  • Farmers will now partialy work for blizz, since they(blizzard) will be taking good part of money from every trade being made

  • Regarding Path of Exile:Looks pretty awesome,can't wait to test it out but seriously-WHY is the beta opt-in process so R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D?

    They have this timer that picks random people over X minutes interval for a beta invite...that's good and all but more than 80% of the chosen are accounts that never even stayed more than 3 minutes in their account not to mention take part in the community,and will never even give feedback.

    Cheers for brilliant developers who got infected by the "retard" virus.

  • @BGinfidel if they don't do that process, their server would be exploded due to flooded beta players ? maybe they want to test the capacity their servers can have ?

    I don't like that process either. since I don't have a beta key.

  • @swatkdw Yes, you are right. I've discussed that too, but if that was the case, wouldn't it be a better solution to simply have let's say 100 beta testers, then recruit 10 or 20 people now and then - thus getting a good estimation of how it affects the server load, and having a smooth test process at that?

    It's funny how they let people make 100s of accounts and flood themselves even more, but oh well...

    I hope we get to play soon, I wish you good luck :)

  • i have 3 suggestions

    i think hardcore characters dyin in the arena may have to buy like a revival item which is only for arena

    and/ or have a period of time which they are not allowed to use set character

    and/or they have to make their way through a maze (or so) filled with monsters to release their hero from hell or what not

  • @TheMexican02 p,s maybe have some1 else (hardcore also) risk their life to rescue ur hardcore character

  • Hardcore arena should be like that: if you die in pvp arena you cannot go back to pvp. But you can keep your char for pve.

  • @macek677 lol seriously? one of the most retarded ideas i heard..

  • @WickedGoon give us some better ideas then instead of qq'

    That's the kind of ppl I don't like. Commenting on others without own opinion( probably their ideas are 'silly' but they are afraid to say it).

  • @macek677 i'd suggest something like a point system that's rewarding in the pve world, winning pvp would gain you these points but losing would decrease them significantly. the point system would have to be extremely rewarding, hard to gain and painful to lose.

  • Hardcore means nothing if you don't DIE! It means your softcore! Let the softcore players resurrect but if your HARDCORE own up to your mistakes and go relevel!

  • Hardcore characters must not remain dead if they die in PvP. It's just stupid.

  • Making the really cool top tier items insanely rare to combat farmers is the WORST way to handle it. What that means is that 95% of people who play the game, even the people that play though the game 10-15 time will NEVER see the coolest stuff in the game. They might as well not even put it in. I probably put 300 hours in to Diablo 2 and I never saw a Zod rune or a SoJ. It's dumb to make stuff that virtually no one will ever see.

  • @dynotaku I totally AGREE, I never saw a SOJ ever and I played for years, I found a way to farm wedding rings though, if you kill hell meph in a full game eg. baal runs(high MF given) it drops very frequently. I got a wedding band close to one every 30min. So I am guessing there's a way to farm SOJs IE, NM andy or something of that sort. Also the highest rune that ever dropped for me was gul from a baal run, and highest meph stone was IST and I probably did no less than hundred meph stone quests

  • @EpicEpics when diablo 2 first came out soj's were easy to acquire

  • @dynotaku gotta rememebr thou, it add one chance per player to find it and everyone is connected via AH wich will increase everybody's chance to get what they want.

  • 2:13 nice axe bro

  • so can we watch gamescom online

  • @Lucyan12 I think you can on G4TV but I'm not sure... need to do more research!

  • @Lucyan12 Gamescom is not like blizzcon. It has some minor announcement not a lot of show, but a lot of different games u can play and developpers. So it's not really something entertaining to watch :)

  • Hardcore Arena should not permit respawning whatsoever. The best I could think of to allow all of the same options one had hardcore dueling in D2 would be to give players the option to concede the fight with "certain penalties". TBH, as long as there is perma-death of some sort in PvP, AND a way to collect ears, then I don't really mind.

  • hc arena: if you die you loose all your gear and everything in your inventory. before the arenafight starts you can store everything you want in a chest. you have to decide if you want to be more successful and risk your best gear or play it safe with only low-level armor

  • I think each player going into PVP should be able to state what's at stake before the game starts. So if you want you can put cash down, or gear, or for the real hardcore players your characters life down. That way it would still be fun and something's at stake but it's laid out before the start of the match.

  • Comment removed

  • for hc arena, if you die inside the arena you do NOT lose your character...that would be dumb...imho.

  • imo, now knowing that the normal arena will be a team deathmatch sandbox playground (which i dont like), the hardcore arena should take the place of a more esports like arena. It should be of the die and out type of thing, without losing ur gear, allowing for a more competitive scene. All pvp besides this arena (if there is any) should be like pve, thus losing all your gear from dying.

  • The only way to stop farming is to limit the item price in real money and gold vice versa

  • if the high-end items will be hard to get for me, imagine army of chinese farmers trying to get the items. Who will get the items first? Yes, oversaturation again.

  • Everyone is talking about farmers but no one even mentions about regional AH/markets only.

    In HC pvp could be a mode that if you drop below 50% you are considered defeated. Then you would go back to town or they could do like you need to walk to specific point/points in arena with your remaining 50% hp to be able to go to town ofc others could if they pleased try to kill you when you r doing that :D. This could be implemented instead normal win=death of other guy option :).

  • @Oztington007

    Practise mode you say? There is one. It's called "softcore" *facepalm*

  • imho best way to five HC players oportunity to play on arena even after they dead in PVE. that`ll be fare enough. and its a good point to compare your HC progress on arena till u progressing in pve.

  • Lol? Why single out stealth bot? That's used for guild and chat channel management...completely unrelated to Diablo 2's problems.

  • If you die in hardcore arena you should die forever.

    If you want to play arena and not die play normal... quite simple...

    Question? ressurection has been mentioned for co-op gameplay? will that work for hardcore co-op?

  • Thanks for keeping me up2date on d3 :P

  • when will we be able to see the new  trailer

  • Hi r/diablo! :)

  • i rekon that u could get a choice for the HC pvp but if u play the one where u die forever you get to keep the enemies gold if you win

  • i think that there should be some kind of system were as if you die in the PvP arena then should would not be able to play for a certain amount of time , for example some kind of league system where there wold be a sole survivor in your league and then you could restart the PvP arena and not loose your character .

  • Have RL money to raise. DO OR DIE. xD

  • noone would arena if u die forever.....

  • this game looks too much like the x-men games on xbox 360.

    i expected more

  • Scrub.

  • what happened to giveaways?

  • Hardcore characters should only have one death, period. But at the same time if you risk more you should get more. Let the player that wins loot the player that lost when the match is over, that can be kind of a reward. Or let them choose a specific number of items from the other player.

  • blizz thinks noone will play hc pvp, but everyone will make twinks after getting 1 character through the game, which is what hc pvp was on d2.
