the game is unfun shit with permadeath because it's tied to server stability and gameplay mechanics are built around instant-logout macros which in themselves kill the excitement. There is no interesting way to die or find yourself in dire straits having to make difficult and correct decisions, you're just alive and well and then instantly dead. It's not fun, it's random, it's cancer.

I mean I love roguelikes, so this isn't about being a 'pansy', they are fun because they do everything path doesn't do right (aside from Nethack), but I'm not always in the mood for permadeath so I don't always play them, hence why i am currently playing POE. People can get self righteous about how big their balls are because they play hardcore on this game, but I'll never take them seriously as long as instant logout exists.

this too, i absolutely hate the storyline, maybe the worst ever in all the games ive played

wait is there a storyline?

nice topic btw

Seeing how this guy's replies all end with "softy", I don't even understand how so many of you spent some time answering...
The irony in him telling you to go play with teens LOL.

When you think you're a badass because you checked a box on a videogame, that's when you know you'll be a virgin all your life.
You could see this type of no-lifer in D2 too, back in the days... Where they gathered all their pride from the way they played videogames... legit l33t pro perf gg

Coz server lags

I agree. As a HC player, I agree that using a macro to escape is lame.

Either play the game 100% manual or move to softcore.




You do on the Hardcore Server. You die, your char and gear dissapears from HC. Shit is too rare in HC as it is already, so dying with rare expensive legacies on your HC char is very painful.


PS: I dont hate Softcore, I also play it a lot, but mostly to test bosses mechanics, try new stuff and just play in it when my connection is lagging. When my connection is decent (mostly between 11 pm - 7 am) I reserve that time for Hardcore.




I disagree, I used to be a good HC dueler and loved dueling in HC without any dumb rules. Dueling in SC was a pain in the butt, especially with 5000 rules forbidding this and that and that other stuff. HC, there was no rule, just get out of town and duel.

Again, I dont hate softcore. I also enjoy it in PoE, but had to clear this out.




I disagree, it makes you feel more alive and its exciting. But it depends on the person. many of us Hardcore's have learned to accept a death. So, if I die its not the end of the world, just remake or continue playing with your other characters.

Btw, I sometimes feel the same while doing strong bosses in Softcore (I try not to die and play it like if I was playing HC too), so, maybe its just me who enjoy both, but im mostly a HC player.

playing hardcore this league cause i don't have much time to destroy the game, and its my 3rd time playing hardcore on a league... i didnt die on any of my characters, all level 80-90 and i must say, softcore is the way to go for me... when i consider going t15+ maps or investing alot of currency on a char to be able to do end game, i just chicken out and rather play softcore, i like the hard bosses fights and the insane map mods
