HARDCORE Mode feedback thread

[Fyrce]

I might agree with a class-specific loot or more class-specific loot.

I actually turn off xp when turning in quests, because otherwise, one would level way to fast for the equips one has. I also turn off xp while opening tombs. Same reasoning: leveling too fast for equips and farming.

It might be interesting to have an HC sirspendalot, at maybe 1/10th the costs of normal level.

I prefer much fewer changes to hardcore though, because the scarcity of items making the zones challenging is what makes the entire mode fun. Anything that increases people's gear too quickly would decrease the challenge.

Oh yeah, maybe a hardcore chat channel (/hc or /hardchat) so we can ask farming questions, which normal people would skip since once they can trade, everything is available to them.

Oops. Would also be nice to have separate characters list for normal and hardcore. Kind of annoying to scroll so much to find my hardcore toons. Thanks!

As for whoever keeps implying hardcore is dead before it has begun, I have seen hardcore toons everywhere, though yes, some town instances only have 1 or 2. Some towns have whole herds of them though.

Story of my Hardcore Life;
-Creates Hardcore Character
-Did some of the storyline (the nostalgia is real :] )
-tried to conserve my pots
-all alone
-and magically died from doing nothing when exiting a game.
-Not touching HC for awhile due to massive temper
10/10 would recommend

Hardcore mode, at this moment, is more a novelty, separate from the normal mode. It is a challenge and defniitely helps a player to learn the game, because one no longer has the advantage of six years worth of items from which to choose to equip one's character.

However, since it is a novelty and separate, right now, besides curiosity and a personal challenge, there is no incentive to keep going in Hardcore.

So a small suggestion:

HARDCORE RUNNER CHESTS (based on the Elite Runner Chests):

Obtainable either via 1. a DAILY Hardcore only quest, available in Kraag (tavern?) to kill 1k mobs and/or 25 bosses, or 2. as a reward every 300AP's after reaching Level 20 or 30.

I think maybe as a daily, so it is something for people to do daily, whereas people will reach the end in Ap's at some point. But then again, they can always start another character.

The chest is deposited in the character's stash, to be accessed in Normal mode. The chest will be untradeable, but obviously, stashable.

Most of the time, the chest will just drop common, normal items. Once in awhile, it drops some desirable fun stuff. Very rarely, it drops a very desirable item.

The chest has the possibility to drop:
Various currencies, including Murkstone tokens (or possibility a Sack of Murkstone Tokens)
Various elixirs
Gold (500g - 100k)
Spirit xp kit
Fine/Fury/Mind Standard or Fort Jewel
Vial of Ectoplasm? Possibly other rare items? Unique pet egg? Possibly super rare vanity but I think consumables is better.

What about increasing the chance of getting good loot for your class from at least golden chests soon we loot them from bosses (any chance of let's say looting Maul from elite golden warchest or maybe kershal scepter from elite golden puzzleboxes)?

Gear is major challenge, opened few chests and got gear other than rogue. At least please narrow down loots to character specific. Revive cost too much, people give up easily and hardcore may left with one or two in long term. 100 plat around is reasonable.

Also please consider gear fusion for hardcore mode.

[Fyrce]

How about a vendor that uses Ankhs as currency? Perhaps an item the vendor could 'sell' would be Class Loot Elixir, maybe for like 25 or 50 Ankhs. Could also maybe sell some loot chests or other elixirs.

It would be fairly useless in normal mode but probably fairly useful in hardcore mode.

Could you put icons next to hardcore characters in our friends/guild list? Can be rather confusing at times. Ty!

This is coming in the next update.

[arcanefid]

This is coming in the next update.

Does this mean the other things are not coming? Getting Ankhs from Klaas and Shazbot isn’t somethig that takes a lot to change? Even potions will do.

[fidelth]

Several people I know have lag died in kraken. I noticed that kraken is extra laggy in hc
I died cause of lag there I NEVER have lag. I could 1 hit in kraken lvl 46 and lagged for a quick second and dead. I will not spend a stupid ammount of plat to revive a character at lvl from lag.

It means I haven't already done it, not necessarily that it won't happen.

[Futumsh]

Next update Klaas and Shazbot will no longer give Ankhs to hardcore characters.

Been playing for a while and am beginning to get the feel for it. Awesome addition for all us dinasours out there.
People have been squawking about lag, random deaths ,ECT. Why not just give everyone 3 hardcore ankhs? 3 chances to reboot time and not lose everything. Seems reasonable and then nobody can complain they lost everything due to... Fill in the blank.
As far as gear goes, I get the no buying part, but players should be able to gift useless stuff to other classes, why not? It won't harm the economy, it will give us a fighting chance, and it will build teams and guilds. We could all farm as a unit and with it the spoils could be shared.
Other than those small points, hardcore mode may not excite the newer players, but the old dinasours are having a blast!
We share tales of Arlor, epic battles, and hilarious moments! From the glitches we've found to the friends we've made.
I no longer am concerned with the millions I have stashed, nor the thousands of other stuff stashed along the way, I just don't want my friends list to get smaller, and hope when I do buy it, everyone will rejoice and laugh, because here we go again! Hahah
Happy hunting all, and stay alive

I restarted and I think that I have a better game plan this time.
Like other players have noted, it is frustrating waiting to loot lege gear, only to finally get it... but for other class.
Maybe Hardcore Mode could enable permanent Class Loot Lixer!
That would be swell.
Lag deaths are rampant but in general its a lot of fun

I'm trying to like hardcore mode but, it's just a bit bland....

The "challenge" is not the issue, it just seems that there needs to be more going on..... I mean, you run maps without dying and then...........

If you aren't really concerned with the leaderboard, where does that leave you?

Just seems something is still missing..........
