Hi, i haven't any intention to play in PvP neither.

me neither. I am just so glad to hear from like-minded individuals. For a while, I thought I might be the only weird fella who does not pvp.

Good work, GGG. Looking forward to 0.9.5.

so xmas coming closer and closer. Any idea when we can see the pre-patchnotes Chris?

I'm guessing they only just deployed it to alpha or are about to....



On a different note - any word on when the next act will be put into the game? (ex. Shore Encampment, Forest Encampment, [Third] Encampment(?))

I could care less about PvP either. I don't play these types of games to beat up on other people, I play them to beat up on monsters.

PoE can have PvP if it makes sense, but it should not be a driving factor, nor should anything be significantly rebalanced to appease PvP. At its heart, this is a PvE game. PvP is simply an afterthought. If it wasn't, it would be in the beta already.

lol.. I havent even given a thought of playing this game without it being pvp focused. I dont see the point in grinding monsters to do 1 more damage or whatever if your only going to be up against AI for monsters which will never be able to compare to a real person. I understand focusing on pve portion first though..

Different strokes for different folks... Some people don't want to sit at level 100 on the same character and look for things to do. I'll play dozens of characters throughout my PoE career. I find the game itself fun, not just a road map to get to end-level farming/grinding/PvP.

PvP will be a large part of the game for those who choose to participate, but the game surely isn't focused on it (just some of the players).

I can live without PvP, but I really like PvP. It's fun going up against your friends in little drinking tournaments and....oh hell that sounds nerdy, but year I do have friends that play games and we turn them into drinking competitions.

I wouldn't enjoy the game without a solid PvE section though. I like the progress and the progression of a player build. I like co-op games.

When I want PvP I play SC2 against my friend. No aRPG will ever have a PvP half as good as a good RTS.

Stop hating on PVP just because you don't care to participate. Some people are really looking forward to cutthroat league and matchmaking. Why not make a great game better, by adding pvp.
