sorry to hear about the losses guys... huge losses for hc... gl on future climbs and stay safe.

Best update for hardcore ever, never seen so much activity on HC as I have seen now. Guildies have been soloing quite succesfully and teams with HC as a whole are great.

Drops are better, it's more fun.

As for rips, people rip. It's not Paul hitting some doomswitch to kill you, it's the person fucking up to some extent take responsibility for your own actions. I mean at the end of the day: If you don't bother to take the game creators advice into account:



And there is finally some challenge to HC again Real players stick about, others sellout.

The only thing I would change about this update is the way Solo/Catas are accessed. The real thing that bugs me is that joining and leaving the cata game is just such a task. On softcore I died 3 times the other day because we hit Ambush ofc I ran when it popped up but one person didnt leave they just went to town. Upon joining the game I hit the cata button to meet instant death. I would like a separate icon again for both the solo and cata. I dont want any major change just that the cata join/exit system worked like the previous version. Not sure about others idea on that but could definately be a life saver on HC. Nobody wants to rip a Headhunter in a catacomb thanks to some random who didnt leave cata.

Well I have no idea how exactly those RIPS occured so I can only speak for myself. I always put HIGH vitaly on my chars and I am usually the first person out of the door if I get hit to hard but yesterday I was soloing on my Warlock on only lvl 20 and judging from the hits that landed on me every time i got 3 x EPs I would not have wanted a lagspike at that momement. My estimate was that If a approx 4-5 sec lagspike my char would be lost.

So maybe this can be fixed by autokick to town if no activity for 3 sec for example?

But well I am for sure no expert and there are people out there that are much greater players than I am for sure and I am sure they can either accept this the way it is or tell us how this can be solved.

referring to this death rate
there are no challenge anymore..

edit: i mean will be

where did you get that from?
even on a monk , with a freaking lvl 5 robe i manage to kill 2-3 eps . (lvl 45 ) . and the monk climb started before the update..so 20 extra points went to str...
not talking about a samurai ..he has no problems

What you need to understand is that the game has changed, Paul already mentioned hc players should go sc for a bit and get used to it
I really can't seem to understand why in a group , any non tanking character just jumps in the cata's first , not thinking there are mobs waiting there (if the group left during a fight ). Use some tactic... tank first or recreate the group
Also , i'm not completing the maze on any chars from now on, since i don't want to trigger my ambush solo or not

RIP's are never fun , and i'm sorry for the guys that have (i've had my share in the past )





right..all mobs are aiming the same player and they all crit at once .... i guess that's bad luck x3 , never happened to me while soloing ~ 35 lvls (but y , not at that lvl )

what kind of build are you using that gives you only 2.7k life at lvl 65 ?

bad luck n long term playing will meet each other for sure
question of statistic




in addition with lagspike or slow reaction (2-3 secs) even with 50-60 vita

i remeber my first beer
