It’d be great to see hardcore characters get converted to softcore upon death…
Maybe they lose everything they had on their body and stash.
I’d start playing hardcore with this implemented.
They warn you, you have to accept the rules: Death means death in hardcore mode. This is what makes it so exciting to HC players.
I like it how it is. You remember your toons death and mistakes you made. Adds that extra excitement to it. SC side you just dont care until you get in your 90s level then its xp loosing
I would be ok with transfer before death. But i am definitely against after death. There should be punishement for you when you die.
No. Crawl back to Path of Exile. We don’t want your kind here.
Being a hardcore player the alpha scared me a bit. They really need to improve loading times for portals/ dungeon levels.
One time when entering Duriels chamber, me and my merc were dead before the loading screen ended 
You need better skill 
Or block 75%
hehe true, it’s also possible my slow pc added to this problem. But many other players reported this issue from what i can read in here.
That problem seems related to the specs of the pc. I saw mrllama streams with long time loading screens and dbrunsky with almost no loading time.
For low end pc users like mine (i3 9xxx gtx 1050ti), the best option will be switching to legacy graphics in those difficult spots wwhere you have to move fast after entering a tp.
It needs to be pretty much instant tho.
Or more likely the game should not be “active” during a loading screen
Based on the topic, I thought this was going to be about the changes to the female characters in D2:R.
What a let down.
It was a joke dude… I know its issue.
Oh hell no…that defeats the purpose of HC
Load times will be fixed by the time the game is released. That’s what Alpha is for to catch these issues before the game is released.
and I play hardcore. I would not welcome this change. don’t need to make this game any less difficult then it already is.
may your deeds of valor be remembered
how would you call this then? mediumhardcore?
The problem is that the game runs server side while the graphics are generated in your pc and at the speed your hardware can generate them, so, once you hit the tp, the server thinks your game is running and doesnt know if you screen has loaded or not. The only way i can think about to solve this is adding a delay after entering a tp/wp/gate, so the game wont be running while loading screens. I think that if you meet the recommended specs the loading screens will be barely instant as they are now.
Plenty of people playing rigs beyond recommended specs have the loading screens where the game is still going. Its an EASY way to die with no way to mitigate it at all
Switching to legacy graphis lets you get rid of that lading screen isnt it?
^ thats a good question and should get an answer to someone who could play if they know. But im sure it will be fixed for actual launch just load in the ai as the last load not the map and character while keeping it seemless as possible aswell as optomizing it im sure theres tricks to load half the map you see first and load the other half in the split secound its done
