A bit tired of the "HC master race" attitude.

Like many players I find it extremely unappealing to lose my character on death. But then again this game doesn't have that so if I felt like trying hardcore I could. But I already know that I'm not interested in that kind of playstyle. You can't experiment as much and have to play slower to ensure that you don't die. I would also have to master quickly exiting the game in dangerous situations which just feels dumb to me. Contrary to popular belief not all softcore players with high lvl characters feel the need to do that. I like being able to accept my mistake and take the consequence.

What about subforums for HC or both?

Make a sticky in them,anyone HC V SC threads are not allowed(they can be discussed in general).Incgamers had a HC forum and I never saw or remember any HC elitism there,then again this is an official forum where as that wasn't.

And also I have to admit I was a bit grumpy yesterday because of the conversations I mentioned. Thus the passive-aggresive thread title ^^.

HC elitism? Hah, HC is a league for incompetent babies. Real men only play Onslaught.

Noobcore slave race you mean?

I don't fucking care where you play. I do care when a fucking noob like this one thinks he's better than anyone else for stupid reasons. You want to fear death ? Play HC. You don't want t fear death ? Play SC. You want a glass canon ? Play SC. That's all I need to know.

I'm really tired of this useless and endless fight. I won't judge you on how you decide to play this game. The post I quoted is just an example of a stupid douchebag playing in SC. We could find some example of a douchebag in HC telling "U R IN SC OLOLZ NOOB". For me, they are the same : douchebags, and that's all.

Lol high levels of butthurt detected. Initiate heartwarming response. Everything will be ok bud. I was mocking a common hc attitude. And you proved my point perfectly. There is a big difference in mocking and actually meaning it. You got your Templars non existent pants in a twist over nothing.

I'm going to assume you meant to say 'months ago'. I don't decide the forum structure (it's a mess!) and would love nothing more than a HC board, although I have no conviction it wouldn't attract its share of detractors and fire starters.

And yes, I do still encourage people to make unofficial boards and fora. Unfortunately it's just not as much *fun* being asses and trolls when there aren't mods and support to test and antagonise. :)

Personally, HC on PoE offers a much more interesting option since it ISN'T losing your character, they're just moved to standard. Any other games HC becomes a game of turtling and leveling in areas that are so increadibly safe, that even if you rubberband across the screen/lag for 10 seconds you STILL won't die. There's no excitement in that, just tedium.

And for people who will only play hardcore in this game, it's really just the same thing.

Dont mean any offence agaisnt hc players, but even retard monkey could play this game without dying by just focusing everything on defence.

Sorry i rofled. I love how all hardcore players think that dying is nothing on sc.

Haven't seen this this so far in this thread so I'll bring it up;

The so called "dieing twice a map and lvl up in a week or 2" is false. If you die with the 15% exp penalty it still takes tons of time to regain the lost experience. I'm at lvl 86 now with 18 deaths as melee and self found & crafted gear and only had 4 deaths from maps so far. My latest death was at lvl 84 at piety (71 temple map that is). And guess what? It took at least a day to regain that lost experience.

On default, you cannot just take the death experience beyond level 85. The 15% penalty seems somewhat low, but you cannot afford dying at all beyond those levels; people with such an attitude of "dying in default league doesn't matter" doesn't belong to those levels.

At that point, default & hardcore playstyle will be exactly the same.

Oh and don't get me wrong, congrats to you if you get a char (especially melee) above lvl 80~85 on hardcore, but please don't mock default players.
