hmm so have been looking forward to this as I know with many others as well. However, there are some concerns which others have already mentioned which could hopefully still be addressed and cleared up to get everyone on the same page of understanding...
"On ACHIEVEMENTS
- After reviewing feedback we have decided to separate the 'Hardcore' mode character achievements into their own category. These will be visible only to Hardcore characters and will not affect normal players' advancement."
In regards with the above... where is the sense in keeping the achievements separate?? You've already mentioned that in hardcore you wont be able to stand around the same soical zones as you can in normal mode which makes total sense... however if you can only show off your achievments to the 3 other people in the map your in, then your not really able to show off your hard earnt achievement at all...
As fun as it might be for a little while to just try out the hardcore mode... I struggle to see any sustainability with it if you dont have a method of being able to show people what you have achieved.
Being able to be on the main character with a title that can only be achieved through playing hardcore mode would even pave the way to more people wanting to go for it or try it out as those titles and achivments can at least be seen in social spaces such as towns and guilds ect, which in term instigates the questions of how such banners and titles were achived in the first place.
Also keeping it to strictly only capped players (currently 71) being only able to get the quest to do hardcore is the right move as its fantastic encouragement and something to look forward to for after youve run your lil backside off from running
Everything else seems spot on, altho people will be concerned with the plat store... which is fair however we all have bills to pay and kids to feed and gotta have something new to spend me money on
But sincerely do hope something is at least reconsidered about the achievements earnt being shared with main char as it would be a shame to have something rather exciting simply end up being a short term hype >.<
