Center of Town Social Activities
The truth is the fact that Diablo isn't an MMO it is built around the notion of a single adventurer navigating an unforgiving world, particularly in D4 which takes place in a time period following the Sanctuary's population was decimated on a massive scale. However, there is a social element to Diablo by having group runs especially due to the return of Trading and Town hubs where players can meet other players. While I believe that you'll be able to to play the game entirely on your own and not meet a single person as many prefer to play in this manner in the event that you choose for a social setting, I've got some ideas that are really engaging and help to create a great community within the game.
We all know that PvP is back and I came across the idea of having a small arena in the middle of town, where players can bet on gold as well as items on fights and duels. (think about this in terms of the equivalent of an outside stormwind , or gates of orgrimmar for those players who played.) The arena could serve as an escrow, holding the gold and items (maybe the ears?) after both sides have agreed to the duel. Then they'd be given at the discretion of winners. I believe it could be an amazing opportunity to win gold as well as things from other players for those who love playing pvp. It would also provide players with additional reasons to visit town, if they wish to play this way.
Perhaps Taverns should have an activity for the social that people can take part in (something like gwent from witcher) or maybe the mechanic of a dice roll or cards to allow people to gamble and play in the Tavern.
I believe that gambling or betting on Diablo will add an element of spice to trading. Tell me what you think.
What is the essence of The Brawlers Guild from WoW?
It might work, but possibly not everywhere, but for a particular area at a minimum.
It's likely to fall more in a couple of specific classes, because the fighting area will need to be restricted for spectators to observe the battle and could cause problems for spell-casting or ranged classes that are more dependent on kiting. (unless you pan the camera to the viewing area)
Personally, I prefer the smaller aspects of RP in MMO's. Like being able lounge on benches and chairs in front of a campfire, or simply having a drink with friends. Even If you're not an fan of RP, you will take advantage of this when you're having a break from murdering to enjoy a relaxing time with other friends.
Also, if D4 will include towns hubs that have visible players I'm hoping we can relax and unwind. Selling diablo products for many years on P2Pah.com, experienced, professional team, welcome to buy D2R Ladder Items, Diablo 2 Resurrected Items and cheap diablo 4 gold.
