Player versus player
In certain modes, characters can fight against each other instead of monsters (Player versus Environment, or PvE).
Contents
Setting up a pvp match
Setting up a pvp match against a random player is done simply by clicking on the interesting pvp format, the player will be put in a queue while the matchmaker finds a suitable opponent.
Dueling a certain person or group can be a bit tricky due to the matchmaking system. To smoothly set it up with higher success rate start by
- Contacting like minded people, for example from friend lists, chats or forums.
- Invite the interested players you want to specifically duel to the same party.
- Meet up in the party leaders hideout.
- Split the team and create two parties inside the same hideout. Keep in touch with the opponents via the local chat.
- Start a pvp match.
Dueling
Dueling is a 1v1 PvP mode.
- Right click on another player and select "Challenge to Duel".
- If they accept, you'll immediately be teleported to a PvP arena.
- If you challenge another party, the parties will fight each other.
- If you challenge someone in your party, only the two of you will fight.
Capture the Flag
Themed around Act 2's bandit lords who vie for control of the Phrecian Forest, players enter Capture the Flag events in teams and score points by capturing and returning a flag from their enemy's war camp. Fighting alongside their bandit lord and his followers, teams must carefully plan both their party build composition and strategy for defending their flag while claiming their enemy's. We are also experimenting with three-way Capture the Flag events (with up to 18 players at once).
Sarn Arena
The Sarn Arena is a free-for-all PVP zone adjacent to the Sarn Encampment. The area is strewn with obstacles and corpses, with an elevated space in the middle that includes a shrine.
Cut-Throat
Main page: Leagues
A competitive race in which players are allowed to enter others' instances at will and attack non-party member characters. Equipped items are dropped on death. The death experience penalty is increased by 30% on all difficulty levels. Killing a player awards their death penalty experience to the killer. Player capacity in non-town instances is doubled. This does not increase the maximum party size.
Tournaments
Main page: Tournaments
A tournament is a short duration event that you enter with a specific character. You play rapid-fire PvP rounds against other entrants, with matchmaking occurring within the tournament only. The goal is to accumulate as many wins as you can during the event, so you're encouraged to play aggressive characters that get decisive victories. Based on your overall placing in the tournament, you'll win PvP points which allow you to unlock various PvP-specific item rewards throughout a season. Tournaments can be 1v1, 3v3, FFA Arena or CTF.
PvP seasons
Seasons typically last about a month and consist of various PvP events players can participate in to win prizes. Every season has two leaderboards (one for EU and one for US) and a special set of alternate art prizes.
- PvP season 1 ran from December 20th, 2014 to January 18th, 2015.
- PvP season 2 ran from February 15th to March 16th, 2015.
PvP Damage scaling
 | This page may contain out-of-date information. Please help improve the page by updating it. There may be additional information on the talk page. |
The scaling algorithms are
(((D / T) / 100) ^ 0.6) * 100 * T
for physical and chaos damage, and
(((D / T) / 180) ^ 0.58) * 180 * T
for elemental damage, where
- “D” is the damage of an individual hit.
- “T” is the attack or cast time of the skill it comes from, or the assumed attack or cast time we have determined for that skill (see below).
For skills that don’t fit this algorithm due to a lack of attack time or due to some other innate advantage they provide we use a series of time assumptions and/or manually reduce or increase the damage further.
The full list of skills that have some other form of scaling applied are:
