It seems like all top streamers are focusing on normal mode. Are there many known hardcore players?
These guys http://goodgame.ru/allstreams2.php?ocd=view&id=5 are playing on hardcore. They are taking their time: they finished normal difficulty in ~12 hours, and also beat act 1 on nightmare yesterday. Then they did the unthinkable: went to sleep
They are streaming again now. They are currently level 36+ and are currently farming act 1 on nightmare again.
So I am curious are there any other hardcore players/streamers and what is their progress?

Gonna be interesting how far they will get. Wish them the best of luck.

ViBE was streaming hardcore with a couple people, they wiped at like level 32 or something TT

Thirteen people teaming up with thirteen characters to beat Inferno first. The streamer is level 34 or so...I think it was higher last time I checked, though.
The thread:

In case of confusion:
It's thirteen people w/characters for two reasons. The first is that characters will die as they make their way to Inferno. The second reason is to stockpile useful gear so they can rebuild characters faster.

What are the benefits of going hardcore? Is there different loot? Or is it just bragging rights?

There are some hardcore specific achievements...but otherwise its the knowledge that you are playing with a big handicap ready to set you back 10+ hours at the first mistake.
Its lots of fun!

I die a lot in this game, particularly in nightmare (no shocker there) respect to anyone who has the balls to play hardcore mode :D
|
I can't believe people play Hardcore already. With all the lag and unknown mobs its way to frustrating.

personally am lvl 31 and in mid of act 3. i'm certain i'll die some day, though :/ if i survive act 4 i'll definitely farm some more before trying nightmare.

I just finished normal/HC on my demon hunter, and I have no idea what to expect in nightmare since my regular character only got to the end of act 2 before I started HC. Should I be trying to farm some gear before starting nightmare or what? Currently I have about 6k HP and level 31, will that be good to survive in nightmare?

I have 3k hp on my monk and I have very few issues in NM. You should be fine if you're careful.

well, i get a lot of lag, sometimes i just warp around for 10 seconds.
No way i play hardcore when the servers lag our randomly.

The witch doctor in the russian group just died. Happened when 2 of the 4 went to sleep, the tank/WD went to go farm until they woke up, looks like that was a bad idea. Rip

haha, that's sokol, he's a german who is of russian origin or something. lol why did he not just quit the game??? or doesn't that work in multiplayer? he seemed to have plenty of time.
edit:
to cite him:
"fail des jahres... kurz vorm bnet disconnect lag 1000 ping+.. und ein stinknormaler creep killt mich einfach :D + Show Spoiler +"
he says he was shortly before getting disconnected and had a 1000 ping and got killed by a crappy normal mob
|
I am really surprised people are attempting HC with the condition of these servers.
|
i ran straight thru until beleil, got killed im currently act 3 norm with wizard
|
|
This lags are rly terrible.Blizz should revive sokol's hero.
