Why even bother playing hardcore temp leagues anymore? They're the same now

Go HC => go pro.

/End

I do like HC but what I dislike about HC the most is that when you die to performance issues like perandus mobs+ beyond mobs in flashback league and some people like myself who have limited time to play the game just dont have time to reroll anymore.

I think the standard and hc having shared challenges is good step forward because if you really want to play hc you can, it is no longer forced upon you like the warband and leagues before it.

This league I am in I got 40/40 with help from friends, I doubt I got 40/40 if it wasnt for their help as I was busy with many things in real life, so I dont see why people should complain.

TLDR:0 incentive to play on hardcore-temp when its no longer any different than softcore and I could just self impose the 1 death restriction.



First they stopped making two different temp leagues.

Then they removed hardcore/softcore specific challenges.

Then they stopped making hardcore/softcore specific uniques


So what now? My char moves to std now when it dies is the only difference? Hardly worth missing out on the majority of the player base for something I could just self impose.

Clearly you play HC to claim elite status over others.

I'm confused by arguments that say softcore players are not as good because they get multiple tries at hard content. That doesn't mean a lot when most hardcore players skip that content because they're afraid they'll die.

I think there are way more softcore complaints about the labyrinth than hardcore ones. If multiple tries was the incentive to play softcore, why do they seem to complain the loudest when they die?

Maybe because they are worse players? :P

biggest joke is you can die up to progress and to high level

Good luck with that... seeing as your highest character is level 89 you obviously don't know a thing about high level and how a single death can set you back for DAYS.

Leveling above 90+ you need to play like it is hardcore, every death means countless of hours/currency loss and not to mention frustration.
And if you don't cheese it by chaining plateau/gorge it means actually running rippy maps, which will melt bad builds.
So you most certainly can't throw your corpse at monster if you are serious about leveling.

Sitting at level 91 for ages now.

So how many times have you used alt-f4 during your ego trip?

I really want the numbers under my avatar to be red :( Hardcore is a huge handicap for players who care about the challanges. Once again I choose between playing my favourite mode or getting 36 challanges without troubles. Once again I choose HC. And it leaves some unpleasant tase.
