Hardcore mode remove ankhs/auction aps and adding hardcore event lb

[QuaseT]

Here are a few suggestions, some were already mentioned but not taken into consideration by devs:
- Remove ankhs from klaas and shazbot and also from satchel. They have absolutely no use and people keep asking what they are for.
- Remove aps for auction listings from hardcore since thats a copy and paste mistake from normal.
- Consider an event lb for hardcore with smaller rewards, making people play events more often in this gamemode.
- Make an information screen like the ones in events for the hardcore npc, so players can see what the mode is about. I tried to make a guide about it aswell so people Dont need to ask basic questions over and over again.
Tyvm, I think there were a few more minor but important suggestions already in forums.

I was about to create a similar thread when I saw this one. So I will just add my two cents (well, not just mine but of many other HC players) listed in order of importance for HC community.

1. Hardcore stash

Very, very anticipated. It is well known that loot in HC is skewed and people usually get wrong class items which is sad as looting anything good in HC is a challenge by its own. So give us at least a mechanism to transfer such items to our other HC characters. Just stashing such items is not an option as many HC players do not care about normal mode.
Example: Nalyx gives a quest only for HC character which grants a recipe to craft Immortal Legend Chest from any item. This chest is free to open, can be stashed and it is the only item which HC character is able to retrieve from stash.

2. Non-platinum revive

This one is controversial but worth mentioning as many people just cannot afford it because of ridiculous 1600 price.
Example 1: Nalyx gives a really tough quest which grants a recipe to craft Arcane Ankh which can be used to revive fallen HC hero.
Example 2: as suggested above allow revive for 1600 ankhs

3. XP chests from NPC

Again, as OP mentioned in HC mode ankhs are useless and are rudiments from normal mode. Instead, it would be more appreciated to get XP chests to speed up tedious leveling. It should be chest so that player can choose a better time to open it e.g. when they wear XP elixir.
Example: instead of ankhs Shazbot and Klaas give 1000XP pack.

4. One-way access to consignment store

Let HC character to list items in CS. It doesn't hurt anyone since players already can go around via stash and then sell from their normal toons. After all we still have those merchant APs as OP pointed out.
Or at least make it "view only" because it is annoying to go back and forth between characters just to check CS.
Example: HC character is able to list items in CS and collect gold for sold ones. Obviously, there's no purchase button available.

Nice ideas, ima post my opinion on these ideas:
1. Seems fair for people who open a lot of locks and have more than one char. However for me so far I looted only 1 arcane item which was the right class so I'm pretty lucky xD
2. Ye u said its controversial. In general I'm against anything that makes hardcore easier or more like normal. However this idea is balanced, it must be usable for already dead chars aswell (if the have 1600 ankhs which pretty hard)
3. Yes thats nice for new chars. Small but encouraging amounts of xp.
4. I dont see why we need more gold on hardcore. Maybe causes a bit confusion. In general its not bad but I dont see much use of it. Maybe other suggestions are more inportant to consider.

+100 for 1600ankh revive! Only onemore per year u can horde so many ankhs, I think it will be fair.

I think Allies don't give ankhs anymore some time and u can "see only" in auc if u buy traders permit for 20 fable coin.
