And there is nothing as stupid as having one of your 3 buddies die at level 21. Now you need to level to 21 while we make some nice chili, right. After eating, buddie number 2 dies. It was hard enough in Diablo 2 with just one buddy of mine :D And after the lan, w want to keep playing with each other of course, so, still no HC for me. How sweet  you waited for him Just restart with a new game, keep your level 21 and have your friend follow along. Eventually you'll be a rag tag team of various level adventurers helping each other out to get through content. | ||

I have played through normal beta with all 5 classes, doing complete map clears, and never came close to dying even once. Not one single time. Then last night I almost died to a unique mobs no less than 3 times. Finally, I entered a random dungeon entrance and stumbled upon a group of magical (blue) imp-dog things with a unique (gold) leader, and it was nuts. They had a crazy aura bonus, and burst me down to half almost instantly. When I tried to run away, they flanked me, surrounded me so I couldn't move, and 2-shotted me. IT WAS AWESOME :D :D :D P.S. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Cob6F.jpg) | ||

You sure Hardcore does up the difficulty? It shouldn't really, after all Hardcore is just about perma death. I mean the monsters damage output got heavily increased anyways this patch and rare/champion spawns are randomized, so strong shit can happen. | ||

The randomness of it all just picked harder monsters for him in HC mode. There certainly are more rare/champion packs then in patch 13 too! | ||

All I know is what I experienced. They upped the damage of all monsters in the new patch, substantially. And then I played HC. And then I got jumped by some crazy elite mobs and got wrecked. This was after 5 run-throughs in patch 13 without even being remotely close to half health. Needless to say dying was much more fun. | ||

It also makes you think a lot harder about what you are doing, I died carelessly running around in beta on HC (ran into a pack that had some teleport blues and knockback blues...got surrounded, ragdolled, died.) It makes you a lot more careful and makes the game that much more fun to me. (And fusturating when you do lose a character) *EDIT -- who is down on launch day to speed run normal so that we can roll hardcore characters? :D You only need a lvl 10 character to start hardcore, not only in beta, but also for retail  Unless you want to speedrun normal anyway, haha.

Don't know if it was just randomness, but it would be very strange since I played through it at least 6 times in non - hardcore. Did you do those runs in patch 14, or 13/lower. Because hardcore should be as hard as any other difficulty. But in patch 14 they added double monster damage to the game. | ||

In the beta you can play hardcore when you've read lvl 10 with a character. And someone tweeted to Jay Wilson, he said that it would be the same for retail. | ||
