Posted in a thread literally and only about a HC player trying to get over themselves to have fun in SC.

Please tell me more about pride, the guy who hit lvl 100 in HC with most meta build ever but who is skipping game content because he afraid to die.

So killing a boss is meaningless, but running billion easy maps to hit lvl 100 while avoiding any dangerous content is full of meaning huh?


This. the arrogance of the HC players is mind-blowing. They skip hard content, use insta-logout macros but they are certainly ''pros'' who cannot be bothered to play in softscore because ''it's too easy''.

Must be a comparison of who has the biggest e-peen in HC.

Not everyone plays HC for the same reason and nobody should use hitting 100 as a statement either way both HC and SC hit 100 the same way because its dumb to do it any other way.

The Anti HC wagon is just as juvenile as the no skill/Anti SC wagon, not every player uses a logout macro just like not every SC player goes for 4k hp and 6 portals every boss like come on guys have some depth to your views.
Yeah the SC 4K hp thing is stupid as hell actually lol

I did it the other way around.
I played softcore with a build that I felt was strong enough to take on uber elder and after 2 rerolls I got to a point where I could farm uber elder on hc.
I also enjoyed some leagues only playing ssf.

I am considering playing a full league ssf hc, but not being able to make a realy good build is kind off demotivating.
And making arc, storm brand or whatever build can just get boring in the long run.

You don't have any living hardcore characters above 39 though? By "could farm uber elder on hc", do you just mean hypothetically, as in, never dies? Because that is admittedly believable, with a level 100 jugg.

Play it like you're in hardcore.

Not to labour the point, but the only reason "softcore" players have ever come across as anti-hardcore players is because of the obnoxious, nasty hubris of so many hardcore players. You don't see non-hardcore players baiting HC players with juvenile goads, but you see the reverse constantly. The two are not nearly the same.

After killing uber elder 5 times I died to a ghosted phoenix with 8 mods because I was getting careless :) But I achived what I wanted.

Yeah thats mainly true, but at some point the SC players get so touchy about it that they become the aggressors anytime someone mentions HC or SC at all.

See this thread as a perfect example. Is there a single actual critism or joke about SC the whole time? Dont see one in ANY comment, but there are at least 10 from SC players who perceive a slight anytime someone mentions the game has 2 modes.
