Why do pvp daily quests exist in PoE

I will never understand how someone can like broken shitty pvp in this game.

That being said Leo definately should get a PvE lvling option otherwise he will sit forever on lvl 1 in town for my account.

You know what, it can be good sometimes. When you get someone close to your power level that doesn't use anything that hits your char below the belt matches can be really good, very tense and satisfying no matter if you won or lost.

However, PoE has such a high amount of variables it happens once in a blue moon, over a few years I had maybe 20-30 matchups that were really good, and people notice that. After many of those you'd stay behind chatting with the opponent, mostly going on about 'damn, why don't we have more matches like this', because it's either you creaming the opponent or getting creamed yourself.

I wish dueling in Path of Exile was just like in Diablo 2. Dueling is the best endgame system possible. What is a better code; AI made by a human, or a real person.

What about Leo leveling with the new solo self found. Seems like the perfect excuse to give him an update.


Honestly I would like to see his daily replaced with an multiple opponent and animal duels (Which are thematic to the coliseum). To keep it different from vagan duels, it should probably be captured Warband slaves (as they are already balanced around group combat).


I'd also like to see daily PvP rewards like the labyrinth jewels for both LLD and HLD. There just is not any incentive to duel when it levels leo so slowly and there is no real reward after level 3. Give players a reason GGG, do not half bake it and then say it tastes bad (Interview he said they would likely not support PvP anymore).

In all fairness, that's exactly how I found most pvp in D2, and I hated it there for the exact same reason. Rock-paper-scissors indeed. Occasionally you'd both be rock, and that could be fun. But more often I was either destroying my opponent or getting destroyed, and both of those are boring.

But even if you're both scissors, the DPS meta in PoE has made pvp less fun. Stronger defenses and weaker DPS typically makes PvP more fun. Ever been one-shot in Street Fighter 2?
