Add to that the server issues and there's a pretty good chance my inevitable death would be unrelated to gameplay, which I want to avoid. | ||

Of course you'd always need enough spirit to be able to BF and serenity. serenity with +sec instead of healing, but spent slot for BoH with infuse light lol this build isn't up to date really p/s also Witch doctors are the most common ranged class to see past act 1 in HC inferno. This due to their good damage mitigation and near death experience ability. near death exp is monk ability  | ||

I see the port animation and I vault out, and continue to stutter step. Suddenly I'm dead, because the teleporting copperfang hit me even before the teleporting was complete, though I was out of range? On my softcore character I've been killed my the bee stings when they were 5 cm away from me, and then I've also been killed by monsters more than ten yards away after I've left the place. This type of stuff really annoys me  , makes playing hardcore totally not fun, apparently it happens to people with even less than 100 lag, so it isnt my connection. I mean, it isnt rocket science to get your basic collision detection right. How do you guys deal with these type of things? I didnt notice this before today, the hc char was on nm, I was not playing seriously anyway so yeah. But the sc one was in inferno, and just when the game gets really interesting (thinking about gea/build etc, precise control) this type of stuff totally ruins it, and makes me not want to go hc. If a monster enters into melee range of you and begins a melee attack, that attack will land even if you move out of range before the animation completes. It's an intentional decision to mean that if monsters reach melee range of you, you have to tank their hits and cannot simply run out of range. Moral of the story, you need to play safer, and if you have to avoid a melee swing you need to use SS not vault. | ||

If only any of my friends played diablo :/ Other than fear of dying and losing everything, that's actually my biggest block. I suppose it should be more fun/intense all the time though, so parts like lighting the signal fires/catapults that get really tedious will be intense instead. | ||

How are people in inferno feeling about the patch? Reading the new abilities on example the jailer makes me just shake my head. Felt like one step forward and two backward with the somewhat random combinations of abilities they threw at bosses. | ||

Played Barb + Demon hunter with my roomie, he died at 51 A1 Hell, I died 57 A2 hell. It was an awesome rush every step of the way, but idk if I will be doing it again any time soon. It's hard on the nerves, working within the obvious constraint of hardcore. That being said.. best rush I've had in the past few years gaming. There was a mortar/waller/(fast??) pack of wretched mothers that I BARELY beat in A1 Hell.. and that was entirely too much fun. | ||

First I thought no biggie, since I 20mils to buy new gear insta, but it seems eu hc auction house is pretty much dead. Hardly any good gear; like only two +800dps weapons being sold. | ||

But it's really hard to stop chasing one. They are so... adorably squishy. By the way, half an hour ago I came quite close to my first HC death. Playing Act II Hell with a monk, I see an elite pack, my Earth Ally immediately pulls them while I'm still checking the suffixes (that always happens), then I realize something's wrong: there's too much blue stuff on the screen. Fuck, it's two packs. One is a pack of serpents with Plagued, Shielding, Teleporter. The other one is a pack of dervishes with Waller, Shielding, Frozen. Holy fucking shit, I don't even have time to run that they wall me in and the dervishes start hitting hard. I tank for a bit, wait for the wall to go down, run away but they still trap me in. My cooldowns are ready, though, so with Serenity I'm still safe and I manage to teleport away. They chase me very very fast and keep walling but I know I can make it, I still have a lot of skills ready to save my ass if needed. Then a realization dawns on me: am I hardcore or not? I'm fucking hardcore. I'm gonna fight them like a man. I keep kiting and hitting when their shields are down and I have cooldowns ready to escape if the situation is too bad. After a couple of minutes they're all dead and I didn't even have to use a potion. No yellow drop | ||

I guess for me, softcore really fails to engage me in a lot of ways. If I fail on a boss a lot I know I'll eventually beat it, and when I do it won't be that rewarding. The safety just makes it frustrating and boring to me. In addition, the levelling up process in HC is actually fun, because even if you're doing act 1 on just nightmare or whatever, you can't slack too much. On softcore, if you screw up and die in act 1 nightmare you just go "Well that was stupid. Anyways" and proceed. Just try HC. It's better to feel a mix of happiness, anger, exhaustion and nervousness than just nothing at all (for me, at least). | ||
