+you probably know this already but if you're in group sync up everything, from router resets to everything else, coz you don't want to die stupidly because someone fell asleep/god DCed/whatever anyways good luck | ||

Its much safer to do 18-19hours and sleep 5-6hours, you're still gonna be a wreck by the end of the week though. Helps to stay in focus if you have some weed on hand, just enough mind you. If you were hardcore you would attempt to beat the game in HC solo, not with teammates, just saying  | ||

so when people start dying off.... How ironic, yet it isn't funny. You do realize there is a risk of serious health injury and possibly death with your 96 hour marathon? You, hardcore marathoners, get on news quite often these days with your relatives crying and some doctor saying what idiots you are, not in front of the mother, obviously. I really don't think you should do stuff like that w/o knowing your body's physical limitations and needs, satisfaction of which you take for granted following your daily routine. Don't encourage people to such things. GL staying alive if you continue on with your wicked ways... | ||

I'd agree if he was doing 96 hours straight, but he said 24-48 at max before (presumably) 12 hours off then 12 on until the end after that bit which can be done fine if you prepare your sleeping ahead of time and ensure you have planned food/drink breaks (which will usually be prepared in advance for speed) and what not. 96 hours would be absolute stupidity though, definately. | ||

Lots of people do, that why people bother making groups like this and why gaming news sites always post the story of the first to do things and interview them because people like to know these things. Just because you're angry that you'll never have the dedication to every be first on anything in life doesn't mean you should blindly hate on people attempting it for their own entertainment. | ||

Randy Gardner, who "holds the scientifically documented record for the longest period a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964—as a 17-year-old high school student in San Diego, California—Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (eleven days), breaking the previous record of 260 hours held by Tom Rounds of Honolulu." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_(record_holder) hf! | ||

In 2001, at age 19, I volounteered for a pretty big LAN event in my (then) hometown - roughly 1k PCs over 3 days, which for the time was pretty big in Italy. That meant doing everything from hauling technical equipment off the back of a van to laying an untold amount of Ethernet cables all over this stadium, but the brunt of the work, for me and some of the boys, was checking the PCs of everyone who showed up at the door before hooking them up to the infrastructure. That meant standing behind a desk with a monitor and endlessly plugging case after case after case, turning them on until boot ended, turning them off and waving people in. At the time - being 19, in excellent health and having had no problem whatsoever with computers since I was 3 years old and in front of a Vic20 - I thought nothing could go wrong, even with 18-19 hours of work (and a hell of a lot of fun, of course) for a few days. After all, 5 hours of sleep for 3 days is surely doable, right? Wrong. At the beginning of day 2, as I was checking PCs as usual, one moment I was staring at a monitor, and the next thing I know, I'm laying down and staring at a white ceiling, nauseous as hell and bone-tired. I'm in a bed - a hospital bed - with my relatives around me and my head feels like somebody took a sledgehammer to it. Long story short, overworking my eyes with artificial lights for 18 hours a day and very few hours of sleep had made me cross a physical threshold of sort, and further examination led doctors to the conclusion that I had pushed my brain and body over a limit I didn't know I had. Something had to give, and I had an epileptic seizure, screaming my head off and falling backwards, head first, into a metal crush barrier. Not a pretty sight, and thank goodness I had a male nurse friend standing right next to me who knew what to do. I cut my hair too short, it looks like somebody tried to kill me. Fast-forward to almost eleven years and a broken nose later - courtesy of another episode - I am now on daily medication, which has side effects which I have to be careful of, and of course I really have to watch the amount of time I can play every day, not to mentionall the hoops I have to jump through every time I have to renew my driving license. And I can't really say that I fully learned the lesson yet, since when SC2 came out I pulled a 4am session and of course had another attack, which had me falling from my chair and breaking my glasses in two very jagged pieces, both very close to my eyes, during a full-on seizure. Count me lucky, I guess. What I'm getting at is this: I know very well how much you want it to be open servers hour on May 15th, I can hardly wait myself. But please, everybody, be careful. Ask yourself if it is really, really, really worth it. I don't want to sound like a jinxer or whatever, but some lessons have a habit of being very tough to learn, unless you keep your head on your shoulders. Choices always have consequences. For me, being a stupid kid who didn't know any better eleven years ago has led me to something which is definitely not life-shattering, but which I could've done without, and that might have never showed up otherwise. Please think about it, for your own sake, and have fun. | ||

The same rules will apply in retail, per blizzard. I did play the beta, and I "beat the beta" only then was Hardcore mode unlocked for me. I didn't realize it was based on a level cap instead of difficulty setting. | ||

People who never played hardcore wont undestand how scared you are at times. Its a whole different experience. I still remember me and my friend as bowie and sorc going through durance/hell and these little puppets swarming at you at lightning fast speed and you just pray you have enough hp, if they explode right next to you. I dont think i have it still in me, to take such a challenge tbh. Mad props to anyone just trying this. I hope you keep us updated! | ||

Well, first of all - these persons might be special. And they were monitored by specialists. Then they most likely did nothing at all or even spent the majority of time in some kind of meditation/half-awake state. They weren't highly concentrated the whole time. Moreover I want to specify my statement to ~40 hours without falling into any kind of sleep including microsleep. You don't wanna have microsleeps when playing DIII HC as that will without a doubt end the run rather early. | ||
