I didnt read all the posts, but just to be informative, Blizzard did say awhile back that HC games would have higher droprates for magic gear than normal games.
No there's just speculation occasionally showing up. Blizzard never said anything like that and it's never been and won't be in Diablo.
The question should be "what's the point in playing SC?". It's like running in DOOM 2 with godmode, there's no fun whatsoever.
Not having the fate of my character commanded by Blizzard client-server latency or in-game bug is my reason.
Yeah, i can understand it. But actually even in D2 there were <5% deaths due to lag. And that's with Alt+F4 quick exit, without it the % would be much lesser. And.. With time, death just doesn't bother you that much It's probably becoming most "enjoyable" moment... in an odd way. You find yourself stopping to play too safe and risking for the sake of moments of evading close death.
