After playing WoW for few years in hardcore progression guild I have seen quite a few of WTF moments when you wipe to things that are completely outside of your control.
Here a few examples.
1. Lag spikes. You lag and when you catch up to the server you are already dead.
2. System crashes. Same as above but worse.
3. Weird bugs. Boss gives out double damage or a mechanic that allows you to kill said boss bugs out somehow causing you to die. etc.
4. Server crashes.
5. And more.
In WoW Blizzard's policy was simple. Try again.
In Diablo's Hardcore mode it is not that simple because we are talking about loosing much more then 20 minutes (at the most) of invested time. I assume Blizz can go two different ways on it.
Be lenient to players that have died to weird reason in which case the hardcore mode will loose its status.
Be strict in which case it might be border line insane to play hardcore for months and die to something I mentioned above.
In either case there will be a lot of people, on both sides, crying and moaning about something that has happened in hardcore. The line Blizzard is trying to walk might be too thin to execute properly. In another words, I feel that Hardcore mode might suck due to one of the reasons listed above.
What do you guys think?
Hardcore players have dealt with things beyond their control... part of playing hardcore is playing in a fashion that is conducive to working around things like your net going out, occasionally it's out of your control, but for the most part you keep that in mind at all times via positioning and who you play with. When servers crash, all actions stop, in which case your character will not die... trust me.
It sure would be a tragedy if Diablo 3 had 14million active players, these guys obviously have no idea how to make a game
Actually... they have all the idea on how to make a game. Unlike fail companies who spit out new titles like a volcano spewing lava... they want this one to be a BIGGER hit than Diablo II, if that is even possible.
The title says it all... I was all pumped for the fall release date... Now I'm entirely un-enthused... This experience has been entirely distasteful. We're all going to hit the level 60 cap within two weeks, then destroy inferno difficulty, on hardcore mind you. Then what for those of us who play hardcore?... Farm items for the next 4 years while there's zero competitive play-style available like high level risky duels?
I'm over this bullshit they're about to release, I hope something changes.
It's a one time purchase for something that has been eagerly awaited for nearly 10 years... well worth 40$ that most of us can make in less than 30 minutes lol
Seriously. 90% of the time, it's the same guy delivering my food. I usually answer the door shirtless because..fuck shirts. The guy was like "you must do sit ups and pushups a lot, yeah?", and I'm like "uhh..yeah, sure". Today, he's like "I got you the large sized cloeslaw instead of the small size, because you always order it and like it and all, for no extra charge", and I'm like "thanks bro". It's really creeping me out. I might be overthinking it (I mean, I AM extraordinarily sexy and all that), but still, wtf?
