I think people stop after getting lvl 100 because there is no point gain gear if risk of unknown.
Point escape scroll is in case you find your self in losing battle. So if you ran in butcher your dead plus this idea is dumb because u can take it even further and remove health pots.
Health pots keep u alive it prevents death that’s soft core.
My 2 cents.
I’m HC only since the release of D2 24 years ago.
D2 didn’t have “one hit” bosses that kill you with one hit. (Not counting the early Iron Maiden mobs, or a group of dolls as you had to walk to Mephisto)
Also, your team was able to pick up your gear.
As several people mentioned, there was a chance to survive in D3 as well.
It is not in D4.
Unless you don’t take a risk and only fight low level mobs.
Not to mention “beginner” HC players…
And finally, for those who are even against the “escape scroll”: they have certainly never lost a perfectly equipped character due to disconnection.
One of Blizzard’s very good innovations is that in this case it automatically uses up a scroll from the inventory and -hopefully - save our “better half”…
Good points. I am aswel an hc player since d2.
I was an hc player in non-blizzard games aswel(POE for exanple). The issue is with 1 shot mechanics, which d4 have(alot!) unless a fix will be made, it will be a problem for hc players to keep their sanity and continue to play. The not “hardcore” players who play hardcore will quit, and the little community we have left will dwindled.
Been playing LE for a bit now. They should move HC char to SC on death.
Note: in LE once I die I create new char anyway. Hate SC.
Whats your d4 profile lol??
