Though, at the same time, they did do a quick subliminal message - not all of the content is done.  That disappointed me a little, but I'm still glad they are closer by dropping PvP for now.

Are you planning on playing PvP or just willing to wait in order to get the game Pre-PvP, howie?

sighs... more waiting either way

Will you want to do PvP though? I know no one wants to wait   (Jay's phrasing made me think they are 90% done, btw)

i wanted to try pvp....
oh what the hell ..i will try it out when its ready

[cipri_alex]

wow, that's bad news indeed.pvp is like 75% of the game for me.they must be really under heavy pressure to cut back so many things.hopefully it won't take long after release to add it..

[whiteportion]

Yea I also kinda find this good news, makes Pve more enyojable when you start to play, Arena kinda takes the fun out of the game in the end, as long as you don't take it to seriously, but this is good I like this.

look on the bright side...
it means D3 is gonna come out sooner

[Boredom4me]

The idea is, anyway, that PvE will get you used to the skills and play, if you want to do PvP.  It'll get you used to it anyhow, but perhaps with more of a purpose and different goals than some.  I'm just gonna stick to PvE though.

I just can't wait to get my hands on D3, I can "stay awhile and listen"(Wait) - for the pvp hehe. early release date to get us prepared for the perfected arena's ; i'm all for it.

[febriano]

so i was really dissapointed that they r holding the pvp back ...the gamer part of me was WTH you been working on the game for so long ...but the computer science student part of me was take your time to do the job right...well i guess wewill be able to farm items ...

I'm sorry, I never played WoW, so I'm not sure if this is the place it originated, but why do people refer to their characters as "toons."  The sheer fact that Diablo is a dark, gothic style game with death, blood, and destruction makes me think that our characters shouldn't be referred too as "toons"; it just sounds childish and playful, much like how my 5 year old nephew would refer too Sesame Street.

+1

I´m thinking exactly about the same thing everytime when I see somebody who says ´´toon´´. In 12 years of D2 I never heard somebody says ´´toon´´ in game.. For me - more then ancient gamers is this word from the coming wave of WoWers..

PvP

I´m glad they have made this step.. It´s much more better then another delay..

i think activision is pressuring them a lot more than we hear.

i'm happy with the decision to release early, but at the expense of pvp? at least leave in duels or standard arenas...

FUCK YOU JAY WILLSON I WILL KILL YOU ONE DAY

its not that bad...by the time the game launches it will take just a few months for the pvp to go online..

Dear god, yet another part of the game is being "held back" ! Lets try and sum up some of the things Blizzard has removed from the original plans of Diablo 3, shall we:

The skill tree system, the ability to freely distribute attribute points, charms, pets, rune drops, the mystic (and with it the ability to enchant items), Cauldron of Jordan (which was supposed to add more flow to the game), and now the whole pvp system !!

Being able to do arena with my friends was one of the most important improvements to the game, and now its gone. For how long? no one really knows... Maybe it will be patched, most likely it will come out with an expansion a year or two later. It's really worrying that they are removing such a big feature from the game, and only adds to my suspicion that Diablo 3 is far from finished,

I've had a suspicion for a while that activision is pushing D3 for early release, and the one of the reasons it keeps getting delayed(pvp cut, ui reworked, elective mode is an obvious console player feat) is because they're close to working out how it's going to handle on a console, and i think they'll make a lot more money with a multiplatform release, and holding back pvp will serve the same way unlocks serve in other games, to keep you playing until DLC/Expansions hit.
