I wasn't expecting it either ! Very excited to try it, I hope they don't wipe so I can just jump right into hardcore mode with the damage increase, could make for some fun! (Or a bit of sadness)
You have to actually try very hard to get your health globe to even half in the beta. I don't think hardcore is going to add anything to the experience at all, even with 2x damage.
Let me rephrase what I said, the DROP chances of better loot increases in Hardcore.. and yes this was stated before for D3 and yes this existed in D2. Dont cite that wiki shiz on me.

Blizzard used to care about releasing Diablo III, then they all took an arrow in the knee...
Unless they added the increased HP and Damage to the mobs im afraid Hardcore in the beta is pretty much worthless, i mean has anyone died in the beta really?

can you give a quote on this? because I also played Diablo 2 since its release and never heard of this...
@Topic: I personally find the compromise with level 10 excellent. Every new player will likely see "hardcore mode at level 10" at the char screen, but by the time they reach level 10, none of them will want to start over and they most likely have already forgotten about it
but for the hardcore players which want to start with hardcore all along, 10 levels to get a feeling of the game is imho not to much to ask
cuz its not true. You don't get better chances at loot in survival mode.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!

Your name is ironic.
We don't need to cite a wiki since it's common knowledge that hardcore does NOT improve your drop chances in any way in any game in the Diablo series. If it was stated before you shouldn't have any trouble finding the blue post... except that post has never existed.
Hardcore has nothing to do with gear, besides the fact that you lose it all if you die.
That's why it's so exciting. Those moments where you're sooo close to dying and your adrenaline is pumping are hard to match in any other way. Had so much fun in D2 HC mode, especially with my friends down in the Maggot Lair. So easy to get blocked in the tunnels and electrocuted to death in seconds by the Scarabs that no one wanted to go first but someone had to, lol.
Ahhh the Maggot Lair... good times
I've also never heard of better drop chance in HC, would like some confirmation on this.
Btw I agree that HC might seem a little pointless in the Beta, even with double mob damage. But it is good that they are testing it. After all, that's what Betas are for, testing, not for us to have our little fun
I am excited! I think they should be able to made without a lvl 10 character though, don't really see the point in making people who wish to play only hardcore mode level a character to 10...nobody new to the game is going to start off with a hardcore character I would imagine.
But you can't be certain that someone wouldn't accidently select the option or deliberately select "hardcore" who are new to the game and the diablo series for that matter. Only to die and not be able to return, would suck if you we're new and would be confusing. Im assuming the level 10 thing is just to get people used to the interface and the game in general. Assigning skills, movement, feel of the game, etc
I did this in d2 ^ it sucked ass.
My sorc still has nightmares about undead dolls on meph runs.
Hardcore mode is bugged atm - expect a patch in the near future to fix the error everyone is experiencing. I have not seen a single person say that they have successfully gotten to play in hardcore mode.

ZOMG!!! I couldn't imagine it will still be the same after release. That's one GREAT news! No need to go through whole normal now, thank gods...
