Why don't YOU play HC?

its a blast watching ghazzy try hc/beyond for the first time he is a summonergod in sc now he is at his 7th attempt to reach lvl 60 in beyond

hc has the highest learning curve in the game there is no trial and error and ghazzy experiences it the hard way...you fuck up you are dead

manocean got obliterated on his 86reave yesterday he experienced a mechanic he didnt know before
cast on death catarina quest mobs...i am thankful because i didnt know this either , now i can avoid it

True, if you play to much SC you never learn properly and you get spoiled too much, because you can stack all the uniques easily in some time period. But HC's are getting little bit overtuned, re roll feasts.
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

don't have the time at the moment to constantly re-roll but generally no problem with.

then there's the fact that my beloved guildies all play rampage which adds to my personal attitude that i have no problem dying to my own mistakes but not circumstances which are not under my control (so for trying hc i like the game too much to endanger it that way).

the hell? mission was complete and the mobs were dead for a bit...

Looks more like a DD box outside screen.

I was thinking of messing with HC one day. I dunno though, those beyond archers are stupidly unbalanced.

Why did I bump. I dunno

Because I Live in South Africa with a constant ping of 250-350.

I can count at least 5 deaths in the last 2 weeks attributed to lag.(on rampage)

I won't mind if my character died because I sucked. I will mind a LOT if my character died due to being thousands of miles from the server.

Would love to play HC, just not with 300 ping.

Even on Softcore, 300 ping is hard to play with when you need split second reactions in maps. But since this is the only way I get to play poe, I'm pretty happy with it.
I tried it a little, and dabble occasionally, because:
*There are hardcore achievements to earn, and I don't have them!
*It can sometimes be more exciting.
*Chat is usually more polite and more helpful.

But there are disadvantages too:
*At higher levels the need to always play defensively and cautiously means it is LESS exciting, not more.
*Deaths that are not (entirely) your fault are incredibly discouraging.
*I feel discouraged from testing new content, as an "unnecessary risk".

But those are all pretty minor issues, that could leave me going one way or the other. There is one massive reason which overshadows all of the above. Being a semi-casual solo self-found altaholic, having all (or most) characters in the one league with a shared stash is basically non-negotiable. And not all builds, not all play styles, are suited to hardcore.

Among my highest chars, some have 0-2 deaths, and some have more like 30-100. And PoE would be far less fun if I didn't feel I could try the latter occasionally to see if I can make it work.
Only numbnuts play HC in a game with desync issues.

they need a new engine simple as that
