 Ok so im feeling very emo right now. My hardrcore character that ive been playing for about a month with my brother just died (he was a 36 druid). He got surrounded by those big mofo guys that baal summons and I was unable to get out.Does anyone else play hardcore? and If so whats your highest level character and share with me your crushing stories of character death (So I might feel a little better). | ||

Friend went summoner, myself trapper.. very easy. Mostly went around on players 8. Friend died in one hit to a boss pack gloam getting aura'd from another boss in anya's cellar? i cant remember the damn name right now. Oh, in hell that is. Haven't really played since because it was just for fun on LAN, trapper is still alive at around level 84 halfway through hell act 5. | ||

if you play on lan u can make back up's of your characters : copy on another location the file <name> .d2s then when your character dies you restore the last backup (you should make backups in game (alt-tab to do that) every 20-30 minutes or so besides u can make a 36lvl char in 4-5 days at most  gl agiaegaergeargaeg | ||

But we both agreed that there would be no cheating and no character backing up. It kinda defeats the purpose of playing hardcore. | ||

I have many hardcore character, some have died - if you play nighmare/hell difficulty lag may often be the reason, or fucking stygian dolls. Highest character survived 66 hardcore assasin, hell difficulty act 1(half quests completed)... however my disk fucked so I've lost it  .My friend had a nice hardcore death - on normal difficulty in act 4, fighting diablo. When diablo used the bone prison to trap him and purple lightning to finnish him. He would have probably survived if he didn't panic and break the prison in the first place. | ||

The bigger the risk the more fun you have. And the higher level and better items you get, the more valuable ure hardcore character is to you, therefore increasing the risk. We play on Lan with each other only, because it elimates the chance of a lag death. Because dieing with a hardcore character is sad. But dieing because of a lag spike, well thats a lot more painful | ||

Go to the single-player forum. They regularly start up new HC "tourneys" with special conditions (like only using white items, or only 1 skill, or no skills at all, etc) that continually breath new life into the game for me. I hate D2 on bnet, but single player is okay, and the HC tourneys are pretty entertaining. diabloiinet is pretty strict about abusing editors, bots, etc, so if you decide to join the community, stear clear of those third-party programs. Or if you must use those programs, at least avoid the trade forums. | ||

My highest level hc character (in single player) was necromancer (skellies ftw!), he was level 64 and died in some very very stupid way (I think it was because I didn't pay enough attention for a moment). The hardest things that I remember there was beating Diablo on normal, damn this dude kicked so much ass, all of my skellies and my merc died so fast... I remember that I had to kill him for like 1-2 hours. That was what I feared at nightmare too but then he proved to be a sissy. I was sure that my hc char will die on nightmare diablo as I still remembered how much trouble I had with him on normal but he died before I even noticed  Managed to kill maybe 2 of my skellies.btw. If anyone would like to make summoner necro there's 2 things you need: merc with thorns aura and 2 curses - life tap (your skellies last much longer) and decrepify (works nice vs bosses). | ||

Level 36 is way way too low to try Baal on Hardcore. You should have like a +10-20 level buffer over what's normally considered "safe" before you progress. Level 36 isn't too much to get worked up over, you can hit that in like 1-2 days =) | ||

My highest was a lvl 65 druid but i had a couple of 40s and high 30s which are obviously harder to get then on battle.net because u dont get rushed most of time, monsters are 10x harder and u really cant beat most quest alone. I was probably the best D2 player to ever play it with an average of 17 FPS. | ||
