Fields of Hatred are areas made for PvE/PvP.

Enemies drop “Seeds of Hatred”, a currency used to buy unique cosmetics/items.

It’s similar to the Dark Zone. You can play PvE only, but must “Extract” the seeds to keep them. You can also activate PvP if you want to… #DiabloIV pic.twitter.com/Yf28pYXnZQ
