Personally, I think hardcore is too hard.
And many ppl just scared AF to play with it.
In my opinion the main problem isn't the gear loss, but the Prof loss. You can buy another gear, anytime if you have the fg, but Prof gain is years of work.

If you want to reform HC, I suggest you something:
If your HC char dies it looses all his gear and class go back to feeder. That would be acceptable to most of the players, but loosing all Prof is just too cruel, imo.

For the poll I voted no. LS never was a game where you can buy special things/advantage for fg purely.

If we wanted SC to be like HC, we would just play on HC.

Its bad enough we lose prof when we die, and that prof takes forever to build back (and mine isnt even high). Plus the thought of losing items on SC as well, is just absurd. The game doesnt allow for the amount of good drops for any ideas like that to be considered.


TL;DR

Keep HC in HC and SC in SC.

If I am understanding correctly, your gripe is really with capitalism. You're not making enough fg in the time you play the game to buy gear either that is too expensive or others purchase first. And your suggestion is somehow to fix this issue so you can compare with other players. If this is so, sorry, I do not agree.

If my above comment is off point, then it's still a no from me until more clarity as to the purpose of redesigning the entire game.

First of all, to reduce a "hell no" onto a simple "no" (a potentially maybe in this case) is an no go!

The people that likes and loves hardcore playing knows what a death means, they love the thrill. Your point 2. reads like a morning-after pill!

It is simply a cheat, if you want security play sc, you are welcome!

Already the Events are cheats and a pain for others.

The resurrection fact was awesome in Diablo 1, legend!


I have not voted here, maybe it has some potential but not in this way as described.

P.S. play more Softcore the heart of Ladder Slasher

Hell no.

This is just.. I have no words

Or just make profs account bound instead of char bound?

Interesting idea and anyhow, I like it.
But maybe will be too OP for a few players who built up very high profs and they could use that extra power on all of chars than.

If you think make a poll for it.

i play hc because it is hard and exciting. although ive played with the best of the best sc gear as well but with group play as it is on sc i just felt like a robot... even though 99% of deaths are ls server related not gameplay related.. if i rip then i rip and carry on.. if you play safe always even server dc are liveable (if youre exploring and not wearing ee armor after lvl 45 thats your choice nn i took gamble and lost features)... my only thing i wish was feasible on hc is guild 101 events just way too much risk for so little gp reward

I personally don’t like the idea even though I’m not a HC player or ever have been. I do think maybe something like a glyph where total immunity for 15 mins or something along those lines may be helpful when soloing top end till mq. But really the quintessence of HC is once your done your done done IMO
