Risk vs reward, hc vs softcore challenge leagues.

Once had play HC to get MTX or challange done in one of events.

I don't want to be "forced" to play HC beccause HC get better items.


Also afaik most HC players dont play HC for items but for bragging rights and because it is more exciting.

no

I think the main issue here, is that the hardcore that rip don't go to the same league's softcore but to std.
Would make many 'try for to see for to know', and if dead, then maybe reroll or continue in softcore.
I personally solely played HC but... Half the deaths are GGG's bugged part or just desync and that they can't ressurect, in ANY case, as GGG stated.
They should make a filter, so if you rip and had 300+ pingspike for the last seconds before the rip it would say dead: resync your char due to fault on our side.

Running at downloadspeeds of 28MB/sec so NO the net is all good.
Therefore I gave up HC - after 3 80+ chars non ownfault rips you will see my point.

I don't play standard cause I played this game since CB. I make new builds with 3-5 of my characters and see if it's good for the upcoming league and then take a break for a while, until start of new league.

I can bet the dinosaurs here are doing the same/similar whom have beem playing since ClosedBeta.

I like the 4months leagues more than just 3, as I am not a nolifer.

FTFY

My only wish as a softcore player is that softcore leagues get a bit harder.

I always play my chars like its hardcore (but the time lost in dying in hardcore is a turn off i can't afford to start over)


With the latets manifesto I think leagues are going to be more interesting overall :D

For those that want more difficulty... try playing the game without trading. Put away all those nifty toys you've bought and try to make it on what the game gives you for that character. It's not easy.

ty for all the good comments. i realy appricate em all and they all carry wisdom.

in general i think its about a individual perspective, about what hc is to one person.. personaly its about riding hard.. and when u fall of the horse getting fast back up. meaning back to 90+ with 6l coil or shav. and rares with 4-5 tier 1 ect ect.

meaning a build i can challenge endgame content with..

but thats just me.

Lol, I have a 500+ lag spike literally twice per minute on average.

Which, btw, is the reason I think the SC death penalty sucks. And the reason I don't play hardcore (amongst other things).

if there was better/more drops in hc it whould be too easy, HC is ment as a challenge, and its allready lame sonce u become sc on death, so its not really real HC

HC doesn't get more loot the same reason why no trading/self found doesn't get more loot.

Just because you choose to play a way doesn't mean you are special.
