Umm ... is it normal that the AH (eu) is so empty?
It is pretty hard to check prices or even get upgrades cause there are only 1-2 pages if u search for things like gloves: cd, ch, int.

For the love of god watch out for the Keywarden in act 4. From Nightmare on he's really, really good at ending a great character. NM Nekarat ate my 50 barb without a second thought.

Still have nightmares about that day.

I've got a Monk just about at him and I'm becoming a ball of anxiety.

Also started playing HC this week. Because it was the safest and also because I haven't played the character yet, I started out with a WD. Reaching 60 was pretty easy though I had some back luck with NM Diablo and he almost killed me lol. I think I had about a 100 HP left even with spirit vessel. Fucking clone smashed some bears in my face which ate my spirit vessel, then I got stuck between the prison thingies and Diablo.

It was wonderous that I survived actually. Anyway: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Twisted-2944/hero/23334594 -> my char so far. Currently playing Act 1 Inferno mp0 just trying to gear up for some more damage/all res now.

I completely agree, I was one to never play hardcore because i was too scared to die. I find it more of a rush and requiring more intelligent play then smash and bash constantly. Its overall a more enjoying environment and play.

Yep, even in the 10m per piece range you often have to wait for what you're looking for to come up when you're making upgrades... it can get tedious at times but it makes character progression very satisfying

I just started playing HC today with two friends. We rolled Barb/WD/Monk and raped through act 1 and 2 normal at monster power 4 without breaking a sweat. There were two close calls for our monk but it ended up being fine. We're entering act 3 at level 26 thanks to the increased exp from the high monster power. HC is awesome, especially with friends.
good vibes only

Again, I'd be willing to powerlevel any TLers who just want a fast level 60 in hardcore, but I think it's definitely worth the experience to level the first time. (Either way, if you wanna play HC, add/msg me Pokebunny#1967!)


I'm going to take you up on this. My HC barb is lvl 56 and I have cain's set. I fell to less than 100 hp in just a few mortar shots from a pack and have been scared to death to finish it to 60 ever since. Hopefully it works out where you can help me get the last 4 levels (I added/pm'd you in game about help gearing in response to another one of your threads, but you're always busy T.T;)

Edit: you died T.T; lol
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

You sexy beast

I do agree with Pokebunny. The softcore ladder is full of hacked gold which deflates the value of your legit gold, making farming pretty worthless and boring. Hardcore is really fun and at least gives you a sense of accomplishment and makes you "try" while playing the game instead of just rolling ur face on the keyboard barely caring about what's on the screen.

I do suggest playing with friends / chilling on Skype etc while you play. Makes HC that much more fun. Oh and challenge urself with mob level 5-8 for as long as you can.

Don't get your first HC character powerleveled and rush into inferno. You won't learn anything and you'll just die straight away. Seen it happen so many times and then people get frustrated and give up. The leveling process gives you a chance to learn skills that you never learnt in softcore and it's far better you die leveling a few times than at 60.

In softcore the game begins at level 60 but in HC it begins at level 1.`The faster you rush, the faster you'll die.

Want to play together? I have a 54 H A R D C O R E barbarian That goes for anyone else too, I'd really like to get a bit of a social aspect into my Diablo 3. I've played solo for my whole time having the game (since release) and it is getting quite lonely.
