I have to say, I've never played HC in D2, so, I don't have that background that many of you have.
Still, I dont understand why would I ever play HC, so far, its only about e-penis, forgive my manners.
There are no real benefits playing HC over normal, no better items, no new secret areas, no nothing. Only a banner that you can decorate, to me, there is no point in playing HC, at all.
I know, you may think: "then don't play it", but that's not the point, I see HC as a game mode that can offer something else, but it doesn't, AFAIK.
IMHO, it lacks of a motivation to be interested enough to say: "ok, I die once, and its over", it should be more like "ok, I dice once and its over, HOWEVER, I got these things that in normal mode I dont have".
What do you think?, am I missing something?
Thanks!
Blizzard did state that certain items in inferno will be look more "flashy" on HC characters, to be totally honest i feel the way you do about softcore, after playing diablo 2 HC i could never go back to softcore, there was really no challenge, everything felt so pointless since there was no real consequences in anything i did, that adrenaline rush wasn't there because of it, hardcore is more strategic, cant run in guns blazing like you do in softcore, at least not in later difficulties, and after dying you get your self together and try to get furtherer then you did last time, quite satisfying.
I with you on this one, almost consider softcore as the trial period, HC brings you to the breaking point and challanges your ability to actually come through.
I remember those days, going from one vender to the next, trying to find the one well socketed item and hoping you had enough to buy it. Then came the do I have the right amount of perfect emeralds, it was relentless, it's a little too easy with the AH, I can see where you coming at.
A quick thing I threw together last night on how to get to the Whimsyshire. Covers everything from where to get the recipe, the mats required, & how to unlock nightmare/hell/inferno modes. I cut out as much of the fluff as possible while still trying to keep it extremely informative and helpful. We should be able to get you into the Whimsyshire within an hour or two after you watch this.
