Player versus player: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:01, 13 April 2015

In certain modes, characters can fight against each other instead of monsters (Player versus Environment, or PvE).

Dueling

Players are transferred to an arena where they can fight in 1v1 or 3v3 battles.

Right click on them, the player,another player and select "Challenge to Duel".
If they accept, you'll immediately be teleported to a PvP arena.

If you challenge another party, the parties will fight each other.
If you challenge someone in your party, only the two of you will fight.

The resistance penalties used for the arena are those of the difficulty that the challenger was in.

Capture the Flag

Themed around Act 2's bandit lords who vie for control of the Phrecian Forest, players enter Capture the Flag events in teams and score points by capturing and returning a flag from their enemy's war camp. Fighting alongside their bandit lord and his followers, teams must carefully plan both their party build composition and strategy for defending their flag while claiming their enemy's. We are also experimenting with three-way Capture the Flag events (with up to 18 players at once).

Sarn Arena

The Sarn Arena is a free-for-all PVP zone adjacent to the Sarn Encampment. The area is strewn with obstacles and corpses, with an elevated space in the middle that includes a shrine.

Cut-Throat

A competitive race in which players are allowed to enter others' instances at will and attack non-party member characters. Equipped items are dropped on death. The death experience penalty is increased by 30% on all difficulty levels. Killing a player awards their death penalty experience to the killer. Player capacity in non-town instances is doubled. This does not increase the maximum party size.

Tournaments

A tournament is a short duration event that you enter with a specific character. You play rapid-fire PvP rounds against other entrants, with matchmaking occurring within the tournament only. The goal is to accumulate as many wins as you can during the event, so you're encouraged to play aggressive characters that get decisive victories. Based on your overall placing in the tournament, you'll win PvP points which allow you to unlock various PvP-specific item rewards throughout a season. Tournaments can be 1v1, 3v3, FFA Arena or CTF.

PvP Damage scaling

The scaling algorithms as of our most recent 1.3.0 alpha build are^[1]:

((D/ T) / 125)^0.61 * 125 * T

for physical and chaos damage, and

((D/ T) / 290)^0.58 * 290 * T

for elemental damage, where

“D” is the damage of an individual hit.
“T” is the attack or cast time of the skill it comes from, or the assumed attack or cast time we have determined for that skill (see below).

For skills that don’t fit this algorithm due to a lack of attack time or due to some other innate advantage they provide we use a series of time assumptions and/or manually reduce or increase the damage further.

The full list of skills that have some other form of scaling applied are:
