Walk about 1/2 a screen down, Waller, from one of those giant unburied monsters and i'm stuck at a point where i cant get near a wall to glitch the waller cast. And not too long ago they changed waller mobs to immediately cast a second waller spell after the first. I can't get back to the waypoint and i have no room to kite so I have one option, go the other way deeper into the level or get my face slammed in. Thanks to the new patch, right around the corner are so many monsters that I can't move. I make one last attempt to get to the waypoint and I accept my fate. Thankfully on my last farming run I found a 950dps crossbow with socket and -18 level requirement. Gotta get to level 42 so i can start vaporizing mobs again. | ||

Video from a party member's perspective: http://www.twitch.tv/kornkills/c/2326768 I met Karma through reddit when he had just reached level 60 on his first hardcore character. He had a lot of game experience, having formerly had a top wizard in softcore and reached paragon 100, but he was fresh and excited about starting hardcore. He was always nervous he was going to die and excited to go on runs, but I knew he had potential, so I brought him into my regular group and we kept playing and helping him. He slowly built his way up to paragon 82 and 100k DPS with dual wield, and we all hoped that maybe, just maybe, he could make paragon 100 on his first hardcore character, which most cannot achieve. Alas, he encountered the inevitable death that many hardcore players do. Karma disconnected and had tree poison spawned under him and and died about two seconds before he was removed from the game. As you can see in the video, his party unfortunately didn't notice him standing still until he came back on Mumble and called for help, by which time it was too late. Karma always said he thought he would quit out of depression if his character died. He had even just spent all his gold on a new weapon and gem to put in it. At first, we could tell he was extremely sad, upset, and disappointed. Everyone on the mumble server immediately began offering him items, gold, and powerleveling to help him get back in shape. It was truly a community moment, and his spirits quickly rose and he has since reached level 60 after dying about 20 hours ago. While it was sad to see a friend die, it's times like these where I actually come to appreciate the Hardcore experience. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together to support a friend in need, and it made me happy to see Karma ready to get back on his feet due to the overwhelming support after a tough loss. To me, that really embodies the spirit of Hardcore: We all play for the adventure, the good times, and the great people we meet along the way, and that is why despite numerous deaths, hours of gameplay, and billions of gold lost, I will always be a Hardcore player. Rest in peace, Karma. | ||

I didn't have my WotB up and died to a Mallet Lord pack with Knockback,Vortex and Desecrator. I tried to fight but kept getting knockbacked, vortexed, and as I was trying to run away and get a health globe, they pulled me again and killed me. | ||

I decided to parody that in hardcore. Now what country would be most appropriate for such a glorious venture? Enter FINBarb. Because it's the place I want to be. Most games I joined, I would tell people, Hello, I'm FINBarb, from Finland, and I will be the first hardcore level 99 character. Most people were respectful and would wish me good luck, as I courageously set out on my unlikely journey. I learned the craft of hardcore from a friend of mine who was a nethack player, so the mentality is to do everything safely. If you lag, you should have enough hp survive. Don't take risks. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Until one day. I'm peacefully farming and leveling, because Finland and the hardcore community depends on me. Then out of the blue, the dreaded red icon appears and the evil horn blows. I get pked. Was it a random act of violence? Then the guy runs around my screen, using the text command to display a message over his head. Finland sucks My friend and I were bowled over laughing. | ||

Because of how exp tapered off, only diablo gave enough experience, so a team of Germans and a team of Russians would clear chaos sanctuary with an amazon + others, then the character GERBarb and RussBarb would join the game, kill diablo, leave and join the next one.

So i go running toward it and the map stops loading, nothings moving. I immediately log off and back on and.......dead. Hardcore was really really fun for me, mostly because i could recognize that the economy hadn't gone completely to shit. But this left a super sour taste in my mouth. I don't have it in me to play softcore where its not even 10k for a stormshield, but if you want anything even half decent its hundreds of millions. Another 20 hours to solo a barb up just is making me cringe. /sad. If anybody wants to help me power level-ish. That'd be awesome. Thanks for turning me on to hardcore. | ||

I do powerleveling quite often, if I have room I'll let you tag along for free, although I highly recommend against powerleveling if you aren't familiar with the game because from all my runs only people who are truly new to the game die; ones who are unaware of just the basics such as hp needed for each difficulty raises a red flag and they usually end up making fatal mistakes that shouldn't happen. Anyways if you are interested and want to give it a shot add carmon#1825. | ||

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but as a HC wizard I absolutely hate elite scavengers. Haven't lost one to them yet but 80% of my close calls involved a pack of scavengers. | ||
