Not sure why you are so negative about it, it's the game you fuck up; you die. It's that easy, if you don't have a second window to login and something goes wrong you are to blame, not paul lol.

Don't want to offend you, but ever since you ripped and 'retired' only thing you have been doing is bashing on how much Paul hates HC. But the people I have been playing with are enjoying hardcore far more then before and beastin' out mq's with some risky situations at times but nothing some clear team communication / rules can't handle.

I mean if you retire, retire for real then instead of just posting to bash a core that apparently is too much for you.



Have to agree with Lance on this one, you play HC you know the risks if you can't handle em play softcore. It is that easy.

R.I.P. Doug.




+1 for Jeff that is the first warlock you killed?

I would've jumped on a grenade for Doug, but not save him from the shaman ><

yeah, im counting 15 rips. lvl 2 lowest and around 66highest ? some cata, some solo. Im sure all of em was nubs, yeah, this core is apperently too much for us.

roy, no offense . but i see much more people dying in the near future. I sayd that alrdy 1-2 days after update , as i heard about 3 evils , and last wont get kicked. In my eyes thats a BIG mistake. way too dangerous. i repeated couple times. this is no more the game it used to be. Some safety is missing for Hc core.

U was alrdy about to die with some other guy -- ive heard -- it was really close. Yeah i know what u say now - it was your own mistake .
It wont change my opinion about this. And im pretty sure till end of month there are more rips , this wont stop. this will continue ..

soon there will be less hc players .. this is really sad. i always was a dedicated hc player. But parts of this update ruined the game. sorry, but thats a fact. And no1 will change my opinion

You just need to be cautious and have great communication within your group.

So basically vent is a must now for playing ls.

can i invite people to our vent, lance?

tell me how vent helps me on level 70, a lil lag , a robe char and 3 evils. [ i love solo play ]

or.. for the cata people ..... 4 monks on the back, casting - 1 tank .- tank got disconnected . 4 dead monks.


tell me. how will vent help me ?

No, we don't need faggots joining our vent. Use Empire's vent, those fags don't even use their vent anyways.

You are not even on vent right now wtf?




If you have a group with 4 monks casting and 1 tank, your group is doomed from the start anyways.

I mean I can see the situation, but generally, if you want a good group nowadays, the prototype group is:

3 casters
2 tank melee

With many mobs in the higher levels being magic immune essentially, you need a balance of melee and casting.

And all characters should stat a lot of life, with the ability to just shrine, you can compromise on mana and get more life.

The problem here is that the game was too easy and everyone was getting a safe ride to mq, now that hc posses a challenge finally again you quit and rage that its too hard. I haven't been really close to a rip in my opinion yet not sure where you heard these rumors But even if I'd rip I wouldn't blame Paul or anyone else, I know where I got my ass into...

And yes 15 rips, if you solo and no actions ~5 seconds you are kicked to town. if you play in a group play with people you can trust and are complete fuck-ups and you will be fine.

The teams I have been in, are the ones that won't let someone die on 7 shamans but jump back in to retrieve the last man standing But that all just points out that all the nurtured kiddies that play hc with scared money are not the ones one should play with.

And rips are a part of hardcore, just because the last version was too easy (although a fair bit of your nearest ripped) it doesn't mean that rips will destroy hc, it will just make it stronger and shows who belongs here and can handle the hc factor.

As much as I hate to commend Joshie or Lance, just look at those 2 what they have ripped and still are at it... It seperates the men from the boys as the saying goes imo.




lol you have no clue how this version should be played. I am done with the thread

Sorry for your loss Doug.

I guess I can pick on you for a hc death now

you'll get there again. I just hope you didn't lose too much gear.

im learning everyday new stuff

1. i have to play with 2 tanks and 3 casters. [ i wonder where i have to find em on hardcore. yeah i know roy and lance, everyone knows u, u will find em ]
2. i have to play with people i know and i can trust . [ what about new players ? they wont get a safe group ? no1 knows em, no1 can trust em ...]
3. addiction to point 2 : no new players will join , but some old players will quit someday [ not coz of the game, they have reallife ] - means ?
4 . less HC players there.
5. "vent ist a must nowadays " - if im not able to talk while playing ? i just dont play :/ a good friend of mine is voiceless...just an example.
6. just so u know, not everyone (me included) cant handle a highlevel rip. too much fg loss , sorry. thats why i retire from playing and just mute if my guildies send me something

this is the wrong place to discuss this . and too bad i cant explain my thoughts really well in english.

for me , its too dangerous like it is . Some other guys thinking the same , some not. But thats still my opinion and ( in austria ) everyone can say what hes thinking.
not sure if this rule is the same where this server is located, but i think so


have a nice day guys, slash "safe "
