Why don't YOU play HC?
" I think what he means is that ice nova is a "pop the box, run/move skill, and hope you don't desync/freeze so that you can get away from the 1-shot" mechanic. Totally balanced. |

" Quoting the very best answer thus far. :) |

I tried playing HC for a few characters, but one character died of desync, causing much rage, and the other died after cutting through enemies like a hot knife through butter until reaching one random mob that one-shot me from off screen.
This game is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Most times it's awesomely fun and addictive, but then it suddenly transforms into an utterly broken experience. I can handle it in Standard, although losing 10% of my next-level progress to poor programming still sucks. But in HC? Why anybody subjects themselves to that is a mystery to me. - here's my sig

When GGG add one shot mechanics like Ice Nova on strongboxes it makes me think they need to cull hardcore players from time to time.

I just ripped for the 6th time in Beyond with Uniqe Decimation Bow while heading to farm Merciless Fellshrine by some goat and monkeys, didn't even see what hitted me i just saw again Ress button despite hitting all Flasks.
Really i worked hard for this gear now, just lost all the motivation really. I just don't enjoy POE anymore, just feeling pressured all the time. It doesn't award you properly, when you get to the endagme, considered merciless and maps. In this OVER9K guild, it is a Spanish guild almost noone play HC anymore, but they played Invasion before in greater numbers. I'm really worn out with this re-rolls. When you achieve something and work really hard in HC leagues, you should be rewarded more properly and to actually able to keep some high end chars alive, without this insane 1 shot stuff and wierd deaths you can't explain. PS. I am really pissed i bought this supporter pack, really really disappointed. GGG thank you for all the great things you are doing. You have combined every element of all other great Rpg's and joined them together as one Diamond, that will shine Forever. This is coming straight from the heart <3 Last edited by Farystar#1705 on Sep 2, 2014, 2:02:40 PM

I'm not playing Beyond cause it sounds like Invasion's older brother who may have escaped from prison.
Reason's I don't play HC generally: Currently I don't have lots of time. HC's cool enough but if I can only play two-three hours a week, a single disconnect can undo a few weeks worth of playing, whereas SC will just axe an hour or so of xp. Biggest reason though, my internet/computer can't handle the worst the game has to offer. Freezing/Disconnecting/Crashing during an intense fight is a one-way ticket to softcore. They've been improving desync and load times and waypoint ambushes that used to murder all of my HC chars early. However, of my last 10 deaths, there was one stupidity death(Overlord Brutus before seeing how hard the spike floor hits) and nine that happened because the client froze/crashed/dc'd. Also the Brute death was the only one on SC. My last 12 or so HC deaths have been the game quitting on me. BreakingHearts/RhoaHood (Standard) | MaidCarrion/MessyLittleBow (Mercenaries)

" I so feel you man, it's really sad i want to enjoy HC so much, but i just can't. And i lost all motivation for softcore. SO there is nor options for me to enjoy, than quit =/. Problem is with us people who want toplay HC, but also have so many real life obligations. Yes it is mostly quit scenario at some point. Ps. I have deleted all of my SC chars from closed beta and after release. I have now 3 or 4 left to be deleted from beyond as-well, because i don't even feel login back again. GGG thank you for all the great things you are doing. You have combined every element of all other great Rpg's and joined them together as one Diamond, that will shine Forever.
