So, I’ve been thinking that since everybody(well, a bunch of people) are up in arms with the way that Diablo IV deals with cheat death, they should have a server available that gets rid of all cheat death mechanics. This should also include not being able to fish for safer content. You enter a dungeon, you must complete it. No exiting and resetting. If you do, your character dies. Out in the open world, you can only log out in a safe spot. I would suggest they be clearly marked and plentiful, but not too near where monsters roam. No kiting monsters to the safe spots allowed. All cheat death abilities are disabled. Also, no invulnerable mechanics. A really hardcore server where it is all about your skill. And luck, because the DC boss would suck on this thing.
An achievement or title that you only get for reaching 100 without ever triggering those things would work as well
Really REALLY hardcore would be if you die in game you die IRL!
remove movement skills while at it
True Hardcore. No cheat death mechanics and locks you out of your account for three months. 
Honestly there will always be ways around hardcore to cheapen the meaning for it. These generally exist in the form of third party programs, exploits and hacks. If you’re not doing it for you, you’re doing it wrong
Having something in place that allows others to not get screwed by disconnects, server instability, etc is actually a nice touch. I might even consider playing at that point
The worst feeling in the world in hardcore is when you die and it’s 100% not your fault. Even in WoW classic hardcore, I’ve been just dropped off of a batrider on a flight path, splattered onto the ground and died, and that was the end. Kind of stupid
People cheat death irl, why is it a problem in a video game.
Rather than That I would have no shared stash. You die, everything gets buried with you. Start over from scratch. No achievements, reputation, regional unlocks, mounts, etc. You have to start over completely.
Heathcliff? Is that you?
I’m with you on this. I would still like to have a “regular” hardcore mode, and this extra hardcore mode as an additional challenge. Maybe on the extra hardcore have it tiered in. World tier 1 is regular, 2 adds dungeon lock in, 3 removes invulnerability, and 4 removes cheat deaths. Something along that line.
True, that works too
I think the way it is is fine, there’s a perma death but there’s a few tools to help on a long journey. What you’re talking about is introducing more restrictions, more RNG, stress and less freedom for the sake of it. Enter a dungeon and you’re trapped in there? No light in the dark at all, no thanks.
Well, I was suggesting an additional server, so the way it is right now would still be available. Give some of our best players a real challenge… not that I would be doing it. lol
