I don’t play hardcore. I did once as part of a season and hated it. But there’s something I’ve always wondered for those that do play hardcore, especially if you play it exclusively.
When you’re in a group, doing a Rift or Greater Rift (where everyone is usually on screen together), and another player’s character dies, how does that make you feel?
we continue playing til RG then close… after that, we offer a power level.
I play GR only with my friends… it’s really unusual that there’s someone dying in the game… unless they lag/dc.
we’ve already come to accept the reality of dying in HC that we accept it and move on immediately.
While I have yet to join a HC group for play, Initially I was very much saddened in solo play…As I play more HC I find less sadness and moe resolve to be better and faster the next go around.
I would fell the same I guess for others…First couple might be a little sad, but knowing how quickly one can level I know its not the end and a new version of that player will quickly emerge
I don’t play exclusively hardcore. My non-seasonal characters have 625 paragon. I did hardcore for this season (first time) and got to about the same. It’s fun and rewarding… however, I rarely do anything in a group. So far, I’ve only lost one kid.
