Which would be awesome. First walkthrough on HC, it is!

I play hardcore because I started this genre of games with Rogue and Hack (and later Nethack) and am used to the die on your quest and you're done situations. 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.


For retail it's just going to be lvl 10? UI/tooltips still say finish the game on normal.

What UI/tooltips?

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.

The Beta UI says one needs to finish Normal mode. But when a char (since Patch 14 was applied) hits level 10, the hardcore option is enabled.

Hardcare is a lot harder and a lot more damage output to me as well. 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.


They just increased difficulty in the latest patch. They've stated specifically that hardcore difficulty is the same as normal. You might be experiencing a psychological phenomenon.

Of course. The first time I face the Lord of Terror, it will be a with hardcore char already.

Would hardcore pvp be a viable/entertaining esport?

$500 bucks and your character are on the line.

It's more like a dirty, secret underground fight club than a sport.

And yes it would be entertaining.. PayPal betting should be implemented.

How do you know I'm not?

And I would be so down for underground HC pvp on 1080p HD projected to a wall as I drink bear and throw peanuts!

It will not. D3 PvP will not be balanced to meed e-sports standards. It's an option for the funsies.

It's a repetitive game. Playing it HC is taking it to the "next level" of repetition. HC players just find it fun to cross their T's and dot their I's much much more than the normal players who like to play fast and loose! True HC players never really lose their items.

Hardcore mode is exciting. Softcore mode is not exciting. It's that simple to me.

Hahahaha. No.
Real HC players lose loads of items, lose lvl 99 characters to stupid lags then just go on restart a new hero.

Low risk = low level or excitement. Atleast that's how it works for me ^^
