Microtransactions getting in the way for Hardcore
|
I was disappointed to find that I could resurrect a dead character. I was hoping Hardcore would be like in Diablo 2 - dead character is dead, can't play again, lose all gear.
Microtransactions are ruining the way games are being made, it's sad. This was my first let down with Path of Exile. I was looking for a real successor to my Diablo 2 habits. |

A very new and creative way to troll the forums, a thumbs up for that.
To adher to reality - no such microtransaction exists. Forums are SOOO much fun on patch day!
Casuals play because it's fun, not to achieve any goal unreachable with their resources. We are playing for the next difficulty, the next keystone, the next item upgrade. Not to feel better than anyone else. |

When you resurrect your character, they are no longer in the Hardcore league. You can also go and delete them from your character selection screen if you like.

This is poorly handed in my opinion. It doesn't sound Hardcore, just "Middlecore". My mindset is not as focused when I know I can still play again on the character that just died. I see I can delete the character afterwards, but let's be honest here, it wouldn't be the same deal in the end. There is no fear of real loss if I can have the option to chose to play it again, with all the gear and skill tree in it, instead of having it completely lost.
It is a huge different approach when you know for sure that when you die, you really lose access to the character. Sorry, I'm still new here. I don't know much how microtransactions work here, but that was my bet on this whole issue. It's not the first time I see games with great potential dwindling down when monetization kicks in. |

I too was dissapointed with the second chance 10 dollar daily deal. Cmon GGG.....

Yes that shit was wild. I didn't expected to get my level 83 HC character resurrected after paying 142$, I'm really pumped up right now, my boyd is shivering like a table anyway thanks GGG yuor the best <3 hopefully i will not day again, 142$ dollar for mikrotransaction is little over my budget as even sincere you am.
No longer a forum dweller, please use PM for contact purposes.

I've always found this odd too, and sorta disappointing. I mostly play softcore with my irl friends, but like to play some hardcore on my own. That's kinda pointless here because I just end up sending all the stuff I find to my softcore chars which are my main investment. Cheaper, one time use mtx would probably sell well on a perm death league.

Bang on bro.
The reason that Hardcore characters get transferred to Default at death, is so that GGG can sell "Scroll of Resurrection" in the Micro transaction shop. It's still hardcore, because it's going to cost $120 dollars.
Spoiler
People that play Hardcore have no intention or desire to play Softcore. A default character is as good as a dead one.
Spoiler
Also, cross-realm trading*
*Again, most people in Hardcore have no desire or intention of playing softcore, so these HC:SC Cross-Realm trades are very hard to pull off. The Russell Wilson Era

" for some hardcore league players having theyr char on default is worse than death. |
