All about PvP mode in Diablo IV, bloody battlefield, non-stop killing

Basically, the PvP mode in Diablo IV will not affect the main story at all. You can choose to participate or opt out, at your discretion.

At Blizzon 2021, a lot of information about the blockbuster Diablo IV has been revealed by Blizzard. Besides the new character class Rouge, the PvP mode in Diablo IV is also something that many people are interested in.

Basically, the PvP mode in Diablo IV will not affect the main story at all. You can choose to participate or opt out, at your discretion. PvP mode can only take place in certain areas clearly marked on the map.

The PvP areas are called Fields of Hatred. Inside, players can attack each other. However, this is not quite an arena where all you need to do is fight other players. Fields of Hatred features both PvE activities including special events and world bosses. If you can trust each other, several groups of players can unite to defeat the boss. In short, in Fields of Hatred, gamers can both fight monsters and beat other players.

The reward for participating in events in Fields of Hatred is a currency called Shards of Hatred. You will be able to get these shards from doing all sorts of things in PvP areas like killing monsters, completing events, killing other players, opening chests.

However, the Shards of Hatred must be purified at a shrine before it can be used. During that ritual, you will be marked as hostile, which allows other players to freely attack you. Simply put, you become one of the region’s top targets.

One way or another, it is possible to stealthily perform the purification ceremony without anyone noticing or with enough power to destroy all those who come to disturb, your Shards will be in safe mode. You won’t lose them if you die afterwards. Intoxicated Shards can be used to purchase items from special vendors, such as costumes, weapons, and mounts.

System designer Joe Piepiora says these items are not necessarily better than others in the game, but they will be the things that speak for your strength and dominance. Owning items only available in PvP mode has always been the dream of many players. It is not only powerful, beautiful and also as a symbol of the power and talent of each gamer.

Joe Piepiora added that the PvP mode in Diablo 4 will not be balanced. There will be no arena mode in Diablo 4, where players go head-to-head on a level playing field. Instead, Shards of Hatred will be a form of a mortal arena, where players can use all their powers, skills and even methods and tricks to survive and win trophies. You can stalk to ambush someone, or “call the guild” to disrupt the prayer of a gamer you hate… That’s how Fields of Hatred plays out. Where players will have to adapt to every situation to win.

As expected, Diablo IV will be released in 2022.
