View Full Version : Low Level Dueling
d2 PvM lost my attention long ago.
d2 high level PvP never interested me. It's got some of the most BM people on bnet. Dupers cater to it. etc etc.
d2 LLD is where it's at for me. PLEASE PLEASE let there be a way to low level duel in d3!!!!
Because D3 PvM will be the same as D2 PvM.
Because D3 high level PvP will the same as D2 high level PVP. Oh, and there will be widespread dupers as well, just because the game will totally be the same as D2.
The universal law of irony will specifically screw you over and make D3 LLD terrible.

You sound like a glass is "half-full" kinda guy! ;) lol
Nevertheless, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic.

Every time I hear the words "cautiously optimistic" I think of **** in donuts thanks to this comic: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/3/1/
Low level duels/pks were indeed one of my favorite in D2 and the best part about it was that when your char/acc was much to well known remaking the char on a new acc was so fast and simple.
I did also venture into high level bvb though.

You should be able to duel right at level 1.
Low lvl PvP was the bomb! Our guild use to have a marathon time... (say 3 hrs) where everyone built a new char in a game or 2.. then at the end, we all fought... Last man standing style!

No they are not.

I was into LLD for a little while, but it didn't really hold my interest. It was too slow-paced and gear dependant for me unless I was using like a lvl 30 fb sorc, which in the end resulted in me just wanting to make a high level Druid/BvC/Necro or something. High level PvP is not as corrupt as people think, you just have to know the right people and make a name for yourself to compete with the type of people that make it fun and actually based on skill. (Sorry guys, we aren't all just teleporting around randomly).
Once you actually get all the top gear that it takes to compete, it's an even playing field and you have to improve skill to be a good PvPer. I think it's really just the tedium of aquiring those items that turns people off to PvP. That said, I really don't find anything wrong with the current high level pvp system other than duping ruining the availablity of items for some people and giving others instant access to the best gear right away.

You think that LLD is interesting? I always percieved it as some bored guy who makes a level 20 throwing barb with +dmg jewels who keeps asking level 40 newbies out for duel just to grief them and be "proud" of their accomplishment. This is actually much more "BM" and lame then high level PvP.
There were never serious LLD games either. You see this level 18 assassin creating a PvP game, then a level 27 newb necromancer joins and get one shotted then bring his level 81 barb with dual swing which owns the assassin. A couple more people join and while and it ends up as high level dueling game. I swear I've NEVER seen a LLD with good manners or good intentions (like dueling an equal level character with similar gear, fighting and having actually a good fight).

There will be a way to LLD simply because there needs to be varation at all levels items/skills wise which means you'll be able to twink/pick the best for your chosen level(or level hot spots for items).If they decided only whites drop till level 30 then it would be hard(and theyre not going to do that).
