Environmental Damage Vs a Player

[Luke]

Bashiok has explained the effect of the Diablo 3 environment on a player in terms of damage.

In PvP, can a player utilize the interactive environment to cause harm to another player?
Can certain Mobs be able to use the interactive environment against you?

Right now if you knock down a wall on top of, or drop a chandelier on the head of someone in your party, it does damage/"daze" them. There's some potential issues with it, right now it's sort of just there because of the way those object interact with player characters as a whole. It's possible that due to exploitative or griefing potential they just can't continue to work that way. We'll see.

Enemies will destroy some/most destructible objects if they're in their way. Whether that may include actual damage dealing destructibles or not is probably more of a design decision on a case by case basis. We sort of want to reserve that for the player too I think, being able to damage enemies with the destructbles, but specific creatures that use the environment to their advantage are always cool.

HAHA I can so see people exploiting this. "Hey lets camp this wall and when a noob comes by we'll smash it on them!" lol golden....but problematic lol.

Ha i gotta say though if they do allow this it would be awesome to have some like super epic PvP battles using the surroundings to try and help you take the other person out ...
