I am very curious as to the (and if there is any) difference in playing hardcore over softcore. I know you can only die once as a hardcore char(character); what I was actually interested in was if you get better loot, more drops, better drops?
Also, are hardcore items only usable by hardcore chars?
Nope, that is the one and only difference. But that one thing, changes your whole playstyle along with the "attitude" of everyone you will play with. You actually get scared and get a rush when you almost die.
and you can not trade items from softcore ->hardcore and vis versa.
and Dont do what hunter said =P everyone should give it a try, it really adds a flair to the game at times, but it for sure is not for everyone.
The only thing that is different is that your body produces more sweat while playing, and at a certain point will most likely go into overdrive and make you break furniture. Not a good option for beginners.
hahaha I dont mean to troll. I'm just saying you sound very new to the game. HC mode can be extremely frustrating for new players. Thus i suggested starting with softcore ..
Oh and for HC, be sure to disable alt+tab and windows key! It proved to be the demise of an old level 90 blizzsorc of mine :*(
dammmmmm I usually play games in windows mode. I've played diablo 2 exp for 12 years on and off I just never had the drive to play hc because I would want to kill someone if I had all elite gear then I just died from lag or whatever reason..
Thank you for all your help diablo peeps! Admin can close this topic now if they so choose!

In several videos it has been said that Hardcore will not only be more difficult in terms of bosses such as tactics and dmg output but certain drops will be Hardcore only, as incentive to look different and be a cut above. I don't remember which videos but if you scan through some of the more recent ones produced by Blizzard you will hear it for yourself... HC...... THE ONLY WAY TO BE =)
But if there is no auction then how will HC players trade? Didn't they say they wouldn't be putting in "titled" rooms?? ex: noobs trade room or 2v2 duelz

There's a hc gold auction house, just no real money auction house. Also there are apparently some differences in the dueling systems for hc - anyone have info on this??
hardcore has always been once you die (in any way) you stay dead and your corpse gets looted! I wouldn't like hc pvp to be changed from this system. That was the point of HC duels in the first place! You kill someone and you get their sweet drops!
On the other hand I can see why the hc players don't want it the way I do... Because they want to duel more then once LOL
Once you start playing hardcore its very hard to go back to the risky free button mashing experience which is softcore, it takes time to learn the best way to tackle each situation/act/map/boss/rare monster powers.
And the random nature of the game makes its less predictable then most games, there is only 1 true way to play diablo and that is hardcore.
Yes. Again, Hardcore-mode characters will only have access to a "Hardcore-only" gold-based auction house, not the currency-based auction house, and will not be able to trade with non-Hardcore characters. Hardcore is an optional mode designed for players who enjoy playing with the risk of permanently losing their character if the character dies, and that includes the items they acquired with that character.
No, no it shouldnt, could you imagine the crap blizzard would have to put up with when someone dies in HC due to server lag after they bought something for money from blizzards RMAH? I 100% totally understand and agree with them on that.. it would be horrible for them.
