PVP - why in Hell?

[bassen]

Almost every duels I've seen on Youtube are in hell but why? If you die you lose XP, so why are the duels in hell? What's the difference?

[Darkoooo]

Because it's harder to get maxed res? And you don't loose exp when dying to a player, only to monsters.

Edit: Nope, you don't loose any exp when killed by a player. You can test it if you wish.

but when SebOlson and I duelked it said you ost experience...does it only says so enen if it really not happening?

It lies. It's taking lessons from the Lying Character Screen.

You do not lose xp when killed by a player. Only a monster.

ok =) that's good ^^...

...but how about gold? screeb lying there to?

[silospen]

I don't know what "screeb" means :P

From the Arreat summit (you can go read this if you want to, it's under Basics -> PVP)

"If you are killed by another player (PKed), your character does not drop the gold being carried, but instead drops the amount of gold that would be lost if you had been killed by a monster. This prevents a player killer (PK) from taking the gold you are carrying. Of course, in this case the gold dropped comes from your stash too."

Your quote says: you don't drop gold you carry, you drop gold you have in stash as if you were killed by a monster. How is this preventing the other player from taking your gold? The gold is still dropped! You still lose gold (even from the stash). Yes you could just carry all your gold, but it might not fit in your pockets.

The amount of gold dropped is pathetically small compared to what one could carry.

[necrolemming]

Losing gold is serious business.

[Alecz]

I take the above as a joke. Even losing all your gold is not the end of the world... killing some champions with some extra gold gear will make you reach again.

[Extermination]

lol I dont see the use for gold apart from getting merc and fixing gear dunno why ppl get so upset over losing it..

[road to elysium]

Maybe they're big on gambling? That's the only other use for it I think.
