Hardcore mode info and feedback request

[Justg]

Once you get to the max level, and get the title, are you able to switch to non-hardcore mode?

Not the plan, can you make a compelling case otherwise?

What do you mean with equipment loss?
When you die you lose your items??

That is correct, and no trade or leveling care packages, so you only have what you earn on the way up. You eat what you kill.

Could you explain the perma-death and equipment loss a little more please?

Why is resurrecting at level 1 specifically for plat so important?

What do you mean by edge cases?

Is there a way to return to being able to trade and stash once you hit the max tier?

Perma-death/ equipment loss, you die, you lose your character and equipment. Unless you resurrect with (a not-insignificant-amount) of plat, in which case you would be brought back to Level 1.

Edge Cases: You guys know them all, it's how you get around zone restrictions in big events until we patch. Ghosting, leaving portals open, invite from other menus, etc.

Trade and stash, again not the intent but we're open to discussing otherwise.

What!!!! So if u died u loss all your gears?
And you need plats to repawn at lvl 1 again???
And u cant buy gears in shop?? Interesting hahaha im excited . Bring it on g!!
Anyway can we make some gold in this hardcore thing?? Cuz some of my friends hoping that this gonna be a new goldloot base hahahaha
Thnak you verry much ..

We're also talking about ways to make this economically advantageous to you once you get to Hardcore... any ideas?
