That would be standard league and atziri farming. Your highest char is only 92 anways.

Awesome news on the hardcore variant of the race.

Nah, Blizzard would say, "People are obviously not happy with a 1 month SC league. Better double it." and make it a 2 month SC league.

Not really, Blizzard would say : "Leagues? We don't need leagues, we only need one big pile of junk where everybody plays in !"

Softcore vs Hardcore Enough!

I was disappointed as allot of people this morning when I checked the news post with my first cup of coffee. No Hard Core? Not because I wanted to play it, but because I knew allot of people were going to be very disappointed.

I have been reading this thread, in my spare moments, all day, trying to get to the end.
I never did but I read enough to know.

That there are allot of people that owe other people apologies :)

I consider myself an average player I have played two softcore challenge leagues now. I play at least 2 hours a day, more If I can. On weekends I might not see the sun. I even took time off work, for the start of ambush. I have had tremendous fun and learned allot about the game.

The reality is sometimes I just can't think fast enough, or move my fingers fast enough to keep from dying.

I respect hardcore players, because quite frankly I wish I was that good. I watch their streams and their videos to keep up with the meta, get ideas, and learn. If you want to learn you learn from the best.

I enjoy theory crafting, and I try to balance defense and damage. The notion that softcore players don't care about dying is not true. If your character dies allot end game it will not level! I enjoy the constant challenge of gearing up during the game, I like the story, and I love running maps. Planning and leveling my current build gives me something to think about all day besides my boring mundane job.

Seeing all that disappear because I made one of my many mistakes is unacceptable. Like I said I'm average at video games.

I also am a armature racer so I know the thrill of one life. I enjoy hardcore racing allot, you get adrenaline that just don't happen any other way. I'm not any good at it but I hope to get a Three Dragons to use in a build next challenge league. But leveling a character for weeks and losing it all to my middle aged slow fingers? I like my hardcore in very small doses.

That's whats so great about this game. No matter what you enjoy about it, it is yours to enjoy however you see fit.

So I am tremendously happy that GGG has once again almost instantly responded to the people that enjoy their game so much.

And if you said something mean today say your sorry or at least feel a little bad :)

Well well well. I'll start popping my popcorn right away and await all the cry posts about the HC will be too tough and needs to be re-balanced. Good to know that you're happy now, for now at least :)
