Dear GGG, FFA PVP is very much needed

Great ideas. I just want the ability to team up with other players for 3 v 3. That would be a lot of fun and much more interesting than 1 v 1 .

You can already do that, just invite people to your party and then queue up for 3v3 pvp.

I actually was not sure about that. But the system still needs help because 3 people aren't normally going to sit there that long waiting for people. It just takes too long.

Thanks for the info though.

FFA pvp would be a great addition for PoE pvp

Thing is, a FFA style of pvp is also great for practice.

Players could make private FFA games and scrimage against each other in 3 vs 3 battles.

Which allows players to actually practice teamwork as well as pvp.


Which in turn would make more 'teams' want to que up for 3v3.


As is alot of people are turned off from pvp because of having to que up for pvp and being stuck in a best of 5 rounds. With out any practice at all. Theres no way to practice and test out anything.

Even if players group with friends they can't really test things at their own pace because of timed rounds and lack of access to stash.





For me, a deep PVP system can only be gained by FFA duels. Because FFA duels allow for all kinds of player options to exist. And a game like POE could really uses something like this.



Players would be spending hours dueling in the same game instead of minutes/seconds in que'd up pvp matches.

A few of my friends are put off from this game simply because there is a lack of this sort of PvP. I enjoy the game thoroughly as do a few friends of mine that I do play with. Be we can all agree that this would be an EPIC addition to the game.


This really is what Path of Exile is missing, a zone where the exiles tear at each others throats, where the weak get weeded out and only the strong survive!

Just put an stage in sarn when u enter it, no loading same instance, you are hostile to everyone around u that u arent in a party with. That would be sick, besides sarn is fuckin huge lol.

I think there needs to be a way to flag who you want to damage in PVP FFA just for the sake partying/allies. And other things.


Almost like the D2 hostile button would work.

that would be cool but I am sure they want some identification difference from diablo. Not just take the exact same system. Not saying I wouldnt be down for it. Just wanna focus on what can happen or will catch their attention. I know u cant use skills in town so I am sure my sarn idea wont work either. I imagine it will be implemented as a arena like they currently are. I would like a practice area tho.

Bump.. Just because this is important to PVP.

he is right, it is important. I know we cant add too many pvp modes because it will spread out the queue but FFA is absolutely needed in some form!
