Oh yeah I forgot to mention the biggest thing that makes poe hc a joke and reason enough you elitist d-bags need to get outta that ivory tower...  all your gear gets xferred over to softcore which you can then just sell and use that currency to restock on hc.  You won't get full value back because hc prices are higher but you'll still get the majority of it back, like anywhere from 50-75%... that's ridiculous, you should lose all of your shit for good since you died just like in D2 and even D3.  Despite portraying itself as such a hardcore neckbeard game, poe has the most forgiving hc mode i've ever seen in an ARPG.

As much as I don't want to fanboy here Kripp usually isn't wrong when it comes to game mechanics

... and your point being what exactly? I didn't say he was usually wrong, I merely said he CAN be wrong at times, he's not infallible. In this instance he was wrong.

I seriously doubt you'd get anywhere near 50% value back, maybe 10-20% AT BES

There is like a 33% return in game that people will do. 1:3 from sc to hardcore on poe forums.. People need to stop generalizing games by d2jsp and its less then 1000 active poe members.

Lmao
10-20% "AT BEST" he says... go check the prices for currency, quality gems, popular uniques, 5-6ls, etc.  An SC exalt isn't worth 10-20% of an HC one, it's worth 50%+

Quote (Timelapse @ Mar 25 2013 06:05am)

who is talking about exalt? the average joe in hc will prolly die to let's say vaal or piety or some chaos mob. what gets converted? bunch of rares and gems. they aint worth dogshit in sc.
or, if you're talking about high lvl characters with more valuable gear, well, if he dies he'll prolly just quit since it's such a huge setback. at that point, the time invested into lvling is an equally important factor.
either way, your point is moot.

if he dies with such crappy items...he didnt lose anything item wise, only the character. That point doesnt make any sense at all.

Also, the sky isn't blue or red.
