Hallo fellow Hardcorian's!
I am just wondering if there is people out there that feel the same way i do. I am a noob HC barbarian, just starting to get some gear and now they add monster levels so i can get even better loot! Thats great but how can i risk it? This is my first HC character and im pretty sure i will do something unmentionable if i die, therefore i won't take any huge risks. But with this new system is making me feel very offput on playing Hardcore mode. I love the idea of it, but i know it will only lead to headaches for me because i can't risk playing in the most effective way, even though i want to! Back when i was playing normal this would've been perfect, but now im hooked on hardcore and this sounds like beeing forced to play with a handicap for me!
Am i the only one feeling this way?
Suggestion: Leave this option out of Hardcore, do anyone else agree?
I disagree.
The monster power is to set a difficult you want to play. Like you see from some of the news, its going to require monster power 2 or 3 to reach approximately how inferno is today. So, we are getting a huge advantage of it (inferno will be much easier and more accessible, removing risk). In addition, when you feel like "Act III is going so well! I think I can finally move on!" you got monster power 2 and Act I (or maybe Act I at monster power 2 will be too easy? Then Act II with monster power 2).
Also, be prepared for death. It WILL happen. Learn that and accept that. Raging after a death on HC is just fine, just don't take it too far and don't get demoralized. Start over again, The death of a HC char is also the beginning of another char. If there's another class you ever wanted to play, a death is your chance for that
Death is not all that bad on HC.
MP is definitely not something to mess with lightly. I'm geared up pretty well and I'm OK on A1 inferno MP1 but it's not easy. Interesting I find that MP1 A1 and A2 are about the same. Probably because the big jump is having the monsters all be lvl63.
However IMO I think A1 Inferno MP1 is very doable and I found it to be probably faster and easier than A3 is right now for me. I don't run A3..
The real question is -- is it now easier to run A3 '1.0.5 nerf'd' or is it easier to run MP1 A1?
I haven't had a ton of time for PTR so I really don't know. I did enough playing to get a feel for things. Didn't do Butcher though - need to try that
It sure is nice having PTR where death is not permanent haha
Oh yeah and to OP - you're crazy, of course leave it in. If you have these problems you may not be ready for HC. Losing a couple of characters will probably get you on the right path honestly.. (yes even to lag etc)
Good luck on your HC adventures and remember, if you die, reroll!
