Why people dont play on hardcore?
" Fully agreed. I use to play HC when I was in the UK with a good internet connection. Now in my home county my ping is to huge to play hc and rarely pocket losses may cost me a character. |

The problem with hc is that it is almost impossible to cover all type of ways your character might die. You can get a little bit of everything but then you will die to content so overtuned that not specializing in a single type of defense just outright kills you.
It's gonna be a little bit better this league with the atlas node that reduces damage taken but increases health of monsters. Only problem i see is that boss fights exist with stackable boss damage mechanics. 25% less damage taken doesn't matter if the boss is allowed to stack a billion damage areas on top of each other or debuff you into oblivion. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready. Last edited by Pyrokar#6587 on May 8, 2022, 3:25:11 AM

" Just make it so that Hardcore-Challenge-League players who die go to Standard-Challenge-League, this change would encourage a lot more hardcore play, i would 100% start in hardcore going forward despite only having made TWO hardcore characters in over 30,000 hours of playing PoE. ![]() If it would get me to play hardcore, Who else would it get to try hardcore? Answer: Literally every single person i asked that is not already a hardcore player. I get to challenge myself and see how far i can get and if that does not work out i can go to the Standard-Challenge-League and carry on without losing my entire time investment into the league, Its less FATAL rage-quits from hardcore and more chances at players returning or even staying in hardcore. This falls on deaf ears time and time again but it would so significantly improve things. Innocence forgives you Last edited by SilentSymphony#3358 on May 8, 2022, 5:27:31 PM

Good Idea @ Post above but GGG does not want to promote Hardcore since this would expose what a lousy job they are doing balancing the game. (In fact it is not balanced at all)

The state of path of exile servers and random performances issues that can happens really stop me from playing HC otherwise,if thoses both things would not be present,i would love to play hc

There is a ton of content in the game that just randomly kills you, it's a matter of RNG that can be mitigated by player skill, but not eliminated.
There is entirely too much outright bullshit for hardcore to have any appeal. |

I think hardcore requires a personality that enjoys playing the game at every level of progression.
