Let me pay $ to rez my Hardcore toon

Hey everyone,

I wanted to bring up a potential feature idea for Diablo 4 Hardcore mode: a resurrection option for fallen characters. I know the stakes are high in Hardcore mode, and losing a character can be a tough blow. What if there was a way to pay a fee to resurrect a Hardcore toon?

Here’s a concept for how it could work:

  1. Resurrection Fee: Players could pay a substantial amount of in-game currency, or even a special currency that can be earned through gameplay or purchased with real money. This fee would cover the cost of bringing back a fallen Hardcore character.

  2. Limited Use: To maintain the integrity of Hardcore mode, this resurrection option could be limited. Perhaps it’s only available once per account or per season, or it could come with a cooldown period.

  3. Balancing: The resurrection fee should be high enough to be meaningful but not so prohibitive that it feels impossible. Balancing the cost will be crucial to ensure it adds value without undermining the challenge.

  4. Visual and Thematic: To keep the Hardcore spirit alive, there could be a thematic element to the resurrection process—something that reflects the high cost and the gravity of cheating death in the world of Diablo.

What do you think? Would a resurrection feature enhance your Hardcore experience, or do you prefer the current high-stakes environment? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,
Uriah Tobey

Hardcore only player here… gotta say I don’t like the idea. Death has to mean something substantial or it robs any sense of accomplishment from playing. Just today I was pushing a bit further than I probably should’ve been and was running a Tier 41 NMD with my level 88 sorcerer and twice got down to 10% health. That’ll wake you up faster than a triple espresso shot. If I knew I could just whip out some plastic and recover her I might as well be playing soft core and down a can of Mt. Dew.

If death is not permanent it doesn’t feel like HC, it’s the danger that makes HC exciting and I’d guess it’s the primary reason people play HC. Resurrecting dead toons is a SC department issue.

Sounds basically like Pay to Win. No thanks.

I do like part of the idea.

I think it would be something you can earn in-game and very limited to once per season.

I understand some of the comments here but they are some deaths which are not player skills inflicted and more of technical/error issues.

It would balance those death instances .

Why not just do this on SC? Instead you don’t have to pay to revive a char.
HC wouldn’t be HC if this was in the game.

The whole point of hardcore is that death is permanent. If you don’t want to do that, don’t play hardcore. Smh

This OP is one of the worst takes ever.

He has to be trolling but even though it is a ridiculously bad idea I could imagine an executive seeing this post and thinking damn what a great idea, except the special currency would of course be for sale for actually money.
