How the fuck does anyone play hardcore?
|
The thing about hardcore is not that it's hard but moreso tedious in that youre constantly slowing yourself down, trying to be 4+ levels higher than the area, doing only maps that are super low risk, avoiding any random boss mods that are even mildly dangerous, always playing ultra tanky high life builds.
They should call it slowcore, not hardcore. |

I like my 5L pledge of hands. I'm never going to get one in a temp HC league. So I'll remain in standard. Its so much more fun that I can actually play the game and use all the gear I have in my stash!

I thought like you before but I realized I was fucking bored of this and I have all the gear you can imagine in standard including mirrored gear and gear that I crafted myself, but it is just boring to me to play without any challenges anymore. It is just really boring. You do whatever you want or like I was just answering to the OP post. I am a converted standard to HC league now and I am having a blast.
Avoiding death is one big challenge specially before lvl 80 and then the ladder is fresh and you are competing. It's fun. Dernière édition par chromafunk#7100, le 11 avr. 2015 à 22:35:07

I don't care about acquiring top tier items and get tired of mapping quickly, so hardcore is fun even if I die. The economy is also far friendlier to casual players because there's always a market for leveling gear.

I have not a single mirrored item and have never had more than 8 ex worth of currency in standard.
I suppose I must be doing something wrong. (b) Personal abuse, foul language, inappropriate subject matter, obscene, harassing, threatening, hateful, or discriminatory or defamatory remarks of any nature ... are not permitted.

Pretty good experience on 1mhc planning to get both sets but ill just hire for the boss kill since im not yet confident on my hc skills since i tend to have bad habits since i play alot of sc temp leagues. Anyway i must say that it really a different experience since u need to think quick on your decisions while engaging or you will rip. Since i got 100ms ping. Death wouldnt be unavoidable someday.

" Offcourse you cant make currency because leaugue is inflated with items,you cant sell anything.Damn,even 1month sc is inflated right now after 15 days of leaugue,i'm playing it atm for challenges,got droped 37% belly of the beast,wow,i thought finally dome decent drop(sold 31% roll in 1m hc for 1.5 ex).You know what,there are 99+ belly's in 1m sc right now and 36%+ rolls are going for like 10c atm and you cant sell it even for that.This is happening after 15 days of leaugue,i cant imagine situation in standard for new players with all that mirrored and legacy gear,from all sc leaugues and all hc chars who ripped.This is for ppl who are playing trading game. Leagues without constant item and currency sink are unhealthy leaugues. Dont be mad,but standard leaugue is a bad joke by it's concept. I'm just talking about economy here,not actual gameplay,damn,for all challenges in all sc softocre leaugues all i ever needed is tabula rasa for 6l because YOU CAN'T RIP in softocore,you have unlimited lives,why the fuck i would ever play game that i cant lose(except for challenges,necessary evil if you ask me) ?

But all that stuff that drops and no one wants in standard is only 1-2c.
Its not the players fault that more desirable items like shavs / koams are something like a 1 in a million drop rate. If I cant even get one in 3+ years of standard how the fuck am I going to get one in HC or temp leagues? Only reason the economy is broken is due to pathetic drop rates on more desirable gear. P.S. one of my guildies that was new to the game got an awesome phys wand drop on his first two weeks of playing on standard and he sold it for 30 ex. Cant sell anything in standard you say?

" No economy is broken becuase it is overfloated with items,there is too much of everythinig now.I mean,for example,at the end of bloodlines leaugue,there were only 3 doryani scepter for sale(what is normal,because you need to do to 30+ atziri runs in hadcore to get sceptre and stay alive,not just zerg her when you are fresh lv like in softcore) and price for each sceptre was 15+ex.I bought mine for 15 ex.In standard,there are like thousands of these sceptres and they are going for like 1ex.It's not fucked up becuase of pathetic droprates,it's because it's SOFTCORE,there is no item sink,and in matter of standard,standard lasts for like 3+ years now. And about your friend who sold his wand for 30 ex in standard,these kind of drops are really really rare,most ppl are getting cod's,bellys,coils and stuff and what can they do with it? Vendor it,because 99,99% of items are vendor trash in standard. Dernière édition par And1111#6139, le 11 avr. 2015 à 23:34:05
