Please make a loading screen tooltip with some pvp info

I see so many people asking how to pvp and if pvping in the arena kills you in HC. Sometimes I wonder how much this actually may affect HC pvp with the stigma of dying in the arena eluding people from it far too often. Any suggestions on how to clear this up? I suggest a couple tool tips on the loading screen, it might drastically improve some of the support the arena gets in HC.

Not only about the dying aspect in HC, but many people dont even know to talk to gruest and probably will never use forums and are too lazy to ask in chat so they just assume it doesnt exist yet.

Bump, people still think dying in HC arena or dueling sends them to SC, really really annoying speaking to dozens of people with this misconception.
To the Top!
Bump, I agree. I'm always baffled by how many people are under the impression that you can die and get sent to SC via PvP. It really discourages a lot of players from even trying it out.
ggg is it possible to help inform people about this topic?

Bump
ran into more people fully geared and playing lvl 28 pvp who didnt know about sarn arena. How does GGG expect newer players and even some vets to be aware of pvp's existence when things like sarn arena are hardly EVER mentioned. Seriously make some new loading screens with tid bits about pvp, it cannot be that hard and would help SOOOOO much.

Rhys please will you talk to the team about this subject man? I really feel like it will be easy for the team to do and it will work WONDERS. Some people dont play pvp because they dont feel its balanced or their style but others are not playing pvp because they dont even know about it : (

I had already added a loading screen tip regarding deaths on HC PvP not counting, but I'll add a couple more for the Sarn Arena and CTF/team PvP.

[Edit] On a semi-related note, another thing to consider is perhaps adding some PvP achievements. We already have a "capture a flag" achievement, but having a few more would help clue people in. Something like:
- Kill 10 people in Sarn Arena
- Win a 1v1 duel
- Kill another player with Cast-on-Death
- etc.

Those examples are relatively simple and easy-to-get, but they let people know that such PvP modes exist. It makes them aware of it, gets them thinking about it, and they are easy enough that people will think "Hey, I can do that!" and then maybe get their feet wet with PvP.

Harder achievements are also possible, of course. Feel free to make suggestions. I'm not very keen for ones like "Win 1000 PvP matches" 'cos that's pretty boring.
