ADiablo 4developer gave a funny response when a fan asked for option to turn off the game’s PvP. WhileDiablo 4doesn’t have a dedicated single-player mode, players can tackle all aspects of the game by themselves. For those who don’t want to embark on a lone wolf journey,Diablo 4also has different ways for players to interact with each other.
Diablo 4offers the option to play co-op and explore Sanctuary with friends.PlayingDiablo 4in co-opbrings benefits like trading items, extra hands to clear areas, and creating builds in synergy with party partners. Another form of multiplayer interaction inDiablo 4is to enter PvP to hunt other players, survive their hunt, and get powerful items. In PvP,Diablo 4players can get powerful rewards and Seeds of Hatred to convert into Red Dust and purchase special items.

Reddit user TheGoodDoctor17 shared a screenshot from Twitter where aDiablo 4player asks to have the option to turn off the game’s PvP. In a funny response, community manager Adam Fletcher gives the step-by-step for the player: don’t enter the Fields of Hatred. One of the game’s optional areas, theFields of Hatred are areas ofDiablo 4designated for PvP. A player who enters this area can attack the monsters and other players if they choose to. The Twitter user insisted on the request to “enjoy the entire map of the game [they] bought,” to which Fletcher only reiterated that there are no plans to turn offDiablo 4’s PvP.
TheGoodDoctor17’s post attracted more than 17,000 upvotes on theDiablo 4subreddit and almost 3,000 comments where several users criticized the player’s attitude. One of the comments criticized argued that buyingDiablo 4is not buying the game itself, but the license to play the game. Another comment also directed negative impressions at the player’s request, saying thatDiablo 4was promoted and made with a PvP element. Other players discussed aspects ofDiablo 4’s PvP that they would like to see changed, and one Redditor recalledWhoopi Goldberg’s outrage withDiablo 4. The famous actress purchasedDiablo 4to play on Mac, even though Blizzard never promoted the game as available for Mac.
Diablo 4will follow the live-service model seen in games likeDestiny 2andGrand Theft Auto Online, meaning the game will get a constant stream of content to engage players for as long as possible. As such, players who don’t want to interact withDiablo 4’s PvP will still have plenty to do in the game’s dark world. One example is going throughDiablo 4’s Nightmare Dungeonsand picking up some high-quality loot.
Diablo 4is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
