If you have gold to shop the AH you should be fine MP10 all the way through nightmare and be able to hit 60 in <10 hours. | ||

I think I need to readjust my mentality a bit. So I was cruising around cathedral church, and bam! Treasure goblin! while killing a few mobs before him, I end up alerting him, and he starts to run away. Of course I cant let him get away, I give chase. Then from nowhere a bunch of zombies arrive, hey what the hell it's act 1 normal, it's a stupid zombie, I'll ignore him for now, I continue to chase the gob. Turns out the zobie is an elite, and with minimal armour at mp10, he hits like a mofo. I'm now really scared..I'm down to half health, I run back to try and get out of the room. A bunch of bats join the fray, and start pecking. I'm now down to quarter health.....it's okay I'll just potion up. lool no more potions. Am I really going to die? holy shit, I'm just level 4....and then the screen turns red, and a familiar set of UI controls come up, only it's missing a button , and has an addition message that says my deeds of valor will be remembered. So ended the life of Amaren, a short life, but the lessons learnt from it will serve other heroes well. Sleep well. Time to make aamaren 2 lol. | ||

Some other options on the table are to lose half of that paragon experience on death. On another note, just hit my previous HC wizard paragon record of 30 last night. Hopefully I don't die before 31 tonight! | ||

Hopefully I don't die before 31 tonight! I'll continue to say they should roll the whole game over into a universal mode that blends the gosuness of Hardcore but gives people options upon death. This would get all the player-base on one universal server and blend the best of both worlds. Like if you die in Hardcore under level 60 the character is just gone forever but, if you die after level 60 you have options. An idea would be like how people farm Ubers and they drop organs that you can craft into HF Rings, well have a boss or add it to ubers and have them have a certain % chance to drop a Shard of Life, and after you farm so many of those (like 25 or something) you can craft a Crystal of Life by using ur 25 Shards and a Radiant Star Gem. This means it would hella bad to die, and cost you a ton of time / money for doing so but ur not just FUCKED forever. Instead of people in the player-base dying and saying fuck it back to softcore or quitting... they would be like damn now I really gotta grind to get that character back. Plus all of your players would be in one universal player-base instead of splitting it. Also, lower disconnect leaving of game to like 5 seconds instead of 10. | ||

The sting of just losing items (and not the paragon levels gained by that character) might not be harsh enough for sure. Right now, you just lose all those paragons which is usually the biggest sting (aside from maybe some epic gear you found). I'm wondering how they will implement ladders as well now since they keep mentioning there are only 2 paragon levels (SC and HC). With ladders, it should be 4 right (Ladder HC, Ladder SC, Common HC, Common SC)? Disconnects are a hard one to fix for HC but I would at least like to see a disconnect indicator for the player for other players in the game so you can see when someone is being disconnected (just a red circle with a line through it where the hourglass usually shows would be good). Lowering it to 5 seconds might make people start disconnecting to save their lives (isn't that around the same time to cast a town portal?) | ||

I'm in the opposite, I don't give a shit about losing the levels, I care about the gear I lost. | ||

With the introduction of MP levels and low level gear being available via the AH for reasonable prices, you should be ok if you play smart and don't disconnect. | ||

Im deciding whether to go with WD or Wiz now... I love wizard for everything - her voice, dialogues, quotes, armor skins, skill animations... everything. I have already made new wiz (Katniss, currently lvl 7 just so I could dress her up a little), but WDs are so fucking imba that I might consider one. EDIT: BTW I was playing archon a2mp3 with 1250 res 5,4k armor and 72k life, when DC came I had full HP and only white mobs were on the screen... When I restarted modem and came back after 5 min I was honestly 95% sure I must survive that when there were 2 other players near me but apparently they just left me there to die... I wish that Blizzard would at least add some sort of notification when someone lose connection or something, this just leaving chars there to stand for 15-30 sec with noone in party knowing that there is some problem is stupid. | ||
