It seems more and more players are switching to HC mode. I remembered when at ROS launch most of the HC players are stuck at playing normal to master difficulties. Nowadays, more and more hc players are playing T4-T6. HC mode is the end game. Yeah, DC, PK, and lags can kill your characters but eventually it adds to excitement. It makes you aware that you need to balance dps against your toughness. It makes you care about your character. I noticed that hc players are more cooperative and helpful to other hc players.

That feeling when a friend/clan member dies, and almost everyone will type "RIP" at clan or party chat, at SC when a player dies, u see them typing "*#@& Noob"

That heart pounding feeling when you have less HP and the screen turns to red.

Recently my friends quit playing SC mode and turns to HC and never looked back. They are having a blast.

Not a QQ but just a thought... peace..

HC is really fun.

The only part that ruins it is a lot of people think that because they play hardcore, they're better than everyone else.


I associate mostly with HC, but I appreciate SC. I think they’re almost two completely different games; being able to put yourself in the midst of the danger without the repercussion of permanent death allows for experimentation in ways that are just not nearly as feasible in HC mode. While in HC, I don’t consider myself to be taking it easy, but I’m also not vaulting into the fog of war. I think what I enjoy most is the impermanence of HC mode – that feeling that this battle could be my last.

I'm gonna try hardcore mode. It's just none of my friends play hardcore, so going into a public HC game or playing alone is a little intimidating to me.


I sympathize with this sentiment, but I found the HC community is very welcoming. You can always test the water out by taking a character to 70, and get some sweet Hardcore achievements while you're at it.
