Invasion players - no need to bash Standard Players

Everybody dies at some point in invasion. Everyone. It's only a question of how long you last before it happens. People with those pesky things called real jobs don't have the time to play 16 hours a day. Then you got players like Terrex who played standard but climbed the shit out of the invasion ladder before he ripped at #2.

Some people play games to have fun and to challenge themselves, not because they worry that a bunch of adolescent teenagers think they are "hardcore."

Getting to a high position in a new league is not hard, don't even kid yourself.

And I also doubt that he quit invasion because he found standard to be so much more fun

why would they? why can't you answer that? Why would a hardcore gamer, extremely skilled at games, that makes every other hardcore player look like a joke, play the easiest mode possible of a hardcore ARPG?

people who play games at that level are not going to play the easy mode, you just don't understand that because you're a standardcore hero.

Because it might stress them.

Because they do not like to lose things.

Because they want to be a glass cannon for a change.

Because they have a bad rig and internet connection and do not want to die to desync or disconnects.

Because they have unskilled friends that rather play softcore.

Because they want to play effieicently to make as much currency as they can, which is faster in softcore.

Because they like to drink beer while playing and they die drunk.

Need more?

P.S.: I have played actual hardcore games, where you actually lose a char when you die. With all he owns. Where you do not takes 3 days to level back up, but half a year. I have lost characters that I spent almost a year raising by accidentally drowning myself in a virtual river.
You don't know me...

Not even hard, eh? You are some scrub then, considering that character was 9 levels higher than any you got in Invasion, and 4 higher than any you got in an HC league. You should probably be playing in standard.

So if you have good reflexes you can't be stressed out? And you cannot have a bad internet connection? And you have to like to lose things.

Now that is an interesting causality right there. I was not aware of that. Thanks :)

P.S.: You probably cannot drink too much beer and still have good reflexes. I give you that one :P

If games stress you out, you cannot have good reflexes in them, it would affect you too much to play them. And, hypothetically, someone this good at video games I'd hope would have a good internet connection.

Shit, I've got awful DSL 768k internet and I still play this game fine.
