To even do this they need to increase the number of players in a game. Currently the max is 4v4! Battlefield 3 already supports 64v64 why is blizzard behind the technology curve?

All interesting ideas about pvp, I would love to see a few of them implemented. Although not the idea of having anything over 4v4 or that might just get a little to chaotic. Looking forward to doing pvp in d3 though. Always fun to mix it up rather then kill same mobs/ boss over and over. You have no idea what another person will throw at you, making it all the more exciting

Yeah, the idea of having battlegrounds is great. Something not quite as direct in terms of PVP. Fighting off elites/boss type enemies after a speed run through a dungeon would be fun. Maybe the more of a certain item you find during your speed run will increase the ending monsters HP for the opposite team.

Either way I think 4x4 is plenty though. 64x64 would be utter chaos in this type of game.

It's important that at first place they're thinking / adding stuff for PvP so this different mods are great, i really have faith in Blizz that they'll make all of them interesting to try/play. Of course depending on different preferences people will like different mods, but that's why it's so great they plan on putting more of them, so every person can find his/her preference in what enjoying most. And it's really unrealistic to expect 64x64 in game like Diablo, i mean it doesn't even sound like something that could work, tho Dota thing sounds really like fun, i mean fighting others together/against mobs, really looking forward to all this.

should be an interesting gameplay style. i dont think ive pvped from a overhead 3rd person perspective. this game is looking better by the day

Anyone remember the N64 game "Perfect Dark"? It had a PvP mode that allowed live players to "take control" of the mobs in a level one at a time to stop the protagonist live player from reaching the end. I think something of this nature would be pretty sweet in Diablo (although admittedly, didn't work too well in an FPS), and I could see that being the idea behind the Dungeon Crawls. The only other thing I can think of for a PvP Dungeon Crawl would be a simple race to the end between two players or teams of players, and while technically you'd be playing "versus" another person/persons, that doesn't seem like PvP in the Blizzard sense of the term to me.

What about Last Man Standing gamemod, you and some of your buddies or random people hold off in some place and have to face off against multiple waves of enemies that increase in strength and making it harder each level. Just constant action that will keep you on your toes and promote some team-work.
