Some Future Plans for the HC Standard League?

They could actually fix most of these by having a global drop rate on items and orbs... so many drop per day. If only one person plays, he gets all the drops. If 1000 people play, they share them.

Maybe a wipe for perma league Will bring more ppl.
Perma league are just horrible for someone wich want start the game because ton of legacy op unique /rare

If they wiped them, they wouldn't be perma leagues. Also, they've promised numerous times that those leagues will NEVER be wiped again, so it's highly unlikely that they would do so now unless there was some major disaster that forced it. If you want a fresh start with no legacy items, that's what the 4 month leagues and races/events are for.

Legacy uniques really killed permaHC for me, but GGG is way too deep in their decision to change it now.

Not many people play Perma hardcore because when you die in perma hardcore you go to softcore were you continue your character, and if you want to make a new HC character you'll prob roll it on the ladder.

Getting a high level HC character on the ladder then living long enough to play on perma HC to then not RIP there is actually quite a feat.

There's more behind it then you would think. Any new HC character would be on ladder, and if they rip they'll be in standard too.

Well, the whole 1 month HC thing blew up in the HC players faces because now in about a week regular HC will be sucked dry. No trading, no parties, nothing. Just you, trying to make it as far as you can.

If GGG didnt give in regular HC would have been filled with lots of people. But the QQ was so strong it seems some people have more weight around here and they got what they wanted, a dead regular HC.

Enjoy your 1 month HC though.

You got it all wrong. The players that complained wouldn't play at all. They would not continue in normal hc.

And you can say that about all of them? You can really speak for them?

You just spoke for them too. Do trolls even try any more.

Don't ever expect GGG to do anything to add incentive to playing the perm leagues. Except for the people that like the idea of legacy gear.

For me, most of my characters start out in HC and, when they die, I still play them in SC of they have progressed enough (like Merc Act 3 or so).
I play both and could give two flying you-knwo-whats about which league I play in.
It would be interesting if HC had HC only loot.

practically impossible. "The game" can never know, how the participation will be over the day...

simple, extreme example a) one lonely player from midnight to 11pm, and 5000 players withing the last 60 minutes - how will it drop?

example b) first hour = 500 people, 6th hour = 50 people, 12th hour = 15000 people, 23th hour = 2 players... how to drop, and how to "handle" if the last hour is completely empty?

Only 'possible' if these "drops" would be handed out after the day is gone - as used with the rewards in the race events in closed beta... but would this 'rewards' still be drops? ;)
