Whats the mode your going to start in?
Softcore always felt kind of boring to me. But I am not sure about the traps yet.
Playing hardcore in an online only game is just a terrible idea.

I like the idea of hardcore but not its implementation. In D3 almost all of my deaths were caused by internet connection. I refused to play this mode until I could play it offline. Then I got D3 on Switch and finally was able to enjoy hardcore without the fear of disconnects. It was fun til a bat bited off my face when I was leveling gems. Never again will I play hardcore in Blizzard games.

I’m glad the HC option is there for those who want it, but I’ve never been a fan of it. I hate the idea of losing all my progress because of one mistake or a bad connection. With all the lagging issues this game has had, it’s even more incentive to stay in SC.
I will start softcore, just to see how the new dungeons go, then eventually, I will switch to HC because, as you say, SC does get a little boring.
I played SC at s1, get bored soon. Played HC at s2, get bored later.
If I will play D4 again I will play HC-
I’ve always loved HC. Totally changes the way you play. The problem with D4, I’ve died in SC from unknown sources. In the other games, I knew how I died. Here, I’ll just randomly die. Nothing around, no traps.
Not sure yet.
It feels like a waste of time playing softcore… atleast to me.
You can yolo in and not worry about health, armor etc…

its 2024 my ISP’s uptime must be like 99,9%. also dont you have scrolls of escape?
dont need to make up reasons if hardcore isnt for you.
do you like to feel a bit of bonus adrenaline or not? are you willing to reroll IF something happens? thats the only 2 things that matter.
basically if you have to ask it’s probably not for you 
if youre a hardcore player you can’t even fathom playing non-hardcore. would be like eating a PBJ sandwich without PB nor J. it’d feel like bowling with the kids’-side-rails on. or cycling with the 2 lil extra wheels on the back.
HC at this time in D4 is a masochists dream. There are too many random disconnects and glitches that will one-shot you for no reason. I loved HC in D3 and probably will play HC in D4 at some later date, after the game smooths out a little. But there’s nothing more discouraging that getting your character all build up and fine tuned only to die on some random freeze or disconnect from server.
I can’t do hardcore. The game might be easy but I’m not capable of not dying ever. And I don’t feel like being stressed and anxious, worrying about every little thing that might kill me. I just want to have fun these days.

Hardcore all the way just no tension otherwise. And besides the adrenaline the world feels different, how powerful you feel etc.
Yeah screw it going hardcore too.
GL everyone
Played D2/3 Hc all the way - it was easy to lvl up. So far in D4 Ive ripped so many times it would be pointless for me. Im super Casual now and just dont care for the constant rebuilding HC has in these shorter seasons…
Hardcore is for some sort of sadistic self hating ppl. I dont see how you can ever start a hardcore player and enjoy it. You are 99.99% going to be disappointed and die. You might not even die to something that is your fault. Your internet goes out at wrong time you die. How is that fun? That is just me though. Some ppl love the rush and are ok dying. You have to ok with dying in horrible ways like in last season that one blood power could execute kill you. Imagine this in HC. Yikes.
Even though hardcore isn’t really that hardcore, i’d much rather play it than softcore. Softcore is boring. You can legit just smash your face into your keyboard and play softcore 
Just play softcore as if it is hardcore.
That way when something outside your control like a server disconnect kills your character you don’t need to delete it.
But if you play dumb then delete.
So like… 95% of softcore players should just delete then?

I won’t not do stupid crap. HC is not for me. They should have a moron mode. I would fit in perfectly
