Poll Recap
After rounding up some polls for you guys to participate in, we have gone back through to highlight the results. Today, we would like to share the results of poll ginobli started asking whether or not you would like to have a ladder in Hardcore. One option was to have a ladder similar to Diablo II's where the level or experience of the character was at the top of the list. However, another option was presented with the number of monsters killed in DiabloWiki.com - Inferno Inferno which will now increase in difficulty. Of course, there is always the option of no ladder which is currently how it is handled in Diablo III. Over half the votes liked the new idea of counting up monster kills as oppose to the level grind of the previous ladder. With a cap of 60 and this being the intended level for Inferno, this would help bring everyone to a standard 0 when starting off. However, a total of 28% said no or that they didn't care for a ladder at all. If you would like to voice your opinion on the matter, feel free to check out the original thread.
