From experience, finding a group on either core was equally as frustrating, and players were equally as rude. Not really much of a difference other than one thing: on hc, most players have two separate toons for skilling and playing. On sc, their main toon will be their skiller.
Guess my experience in cores were different... I can only say for myself, I have not changed in my attitude in helping a new person/people out on either core.
Forgot about skiller / climber... probably because I don't skill much, and if I do, it is on my climber anyway... great post thank you.Quote (RistVaLL @ Sep 18 2014 12:13pm)
Well SC has better clickers and gear.
HC has some nicer ppl that are more friendly.
The ppl on sc I play mostly with the ppl they already played with before and know how they are clicking.
Hardcore is a more closed group of players and I believe they are more open to play with new players (THAT HAS GEAR OFC) to get a group going since the low playerbase.
When it comes to this game, there is no such thing as pussy/man core.
This game is easy, and there is no risk of dying in doin some low lvl farming.
SC is more "manly" because of all the MM and other high lvl farming-attempts.
crap, was meant to copy and edit it into my old post.. sry ^^
FIXED...
all good.
Based on SC gear + death NOT losing gear [excl prof] ... does that make it easier for that core to do MM or high level farming?
For me personally... that makes a big difference, and yes "There are no rewards if you don't take any risks", but again, easier for SC.
And I still remember the introduction of Elemental Education... that was a risk without any rewards for certain.
Great post again... thank you for that.
EDIT: And yes, Hardcore can utilise potions to help them with MM and also Higher level farming attempts, but, those items are less because of lack of players once again, it is basically a spiral.Quote (lxxgatmanxxl @ Sep 18 2014 12:48pm)
0 risk though in doing so.
You can easily lose your mq setup due to anything out of the ordinary ( ddos to jsp , your isp taking a shit , power outage etc etc)
One weak link in your group can cause catastrophe come on a hard quest at 65+..
Your main has died 587 times. Thats 587 sets of gear that would be ripped on HC. I know if you had the HC mind-set you wouldn't of let that char rip damn near 600 times but I bet you that you would have ripped a few mq sets if you put the same time on SC if you did HC.
Some good points, but I think the 587 deaths was because that character was a Weller Mage for the old days, so it kinda diffuses your statement a little.
Mind you... I know where you are coming from... my SC character Rank22 Swords had a total of 22 Deaths ... that is 22 MQ setups.
This is not an edit getting at your points... it is just rectifying any comebacks that may make your point invalid.This post was edited by izParagonzi on Sep 17 2014 06:54pm
