Anyone else ever tried "hardcore"

So far in the past month I’ve met up with 2 horde players who I tried grouping with who were doing hardcore runs. That said, it kinda sounds fun. Some do 3 deaths then delete, some every 10 levels an extra life,etc…your own rules for the most part.

I was thinking about doing a Priest. Clothy spunge but can heal. Go full Holy for limited damage, and give myself 3 lives 1-20 with an extra 20-30,30-40,etc.

Anyone tried something similar?

There is a p server that had hardcore mode as well as nightmare mode, you get a mount and stuff for beating them.

It’s a fun little extra challenge, but definitely gonna rage if you die lol

A death limit isn’t logical in a MMO where you can get killed by other people or internet issues beyond your control. I have seen people level with only gray gear or no talent points, and that was in classic, not with any future class buffs.

People did have number of deaths as part of the when to delete the character.

I’ve watched people do it they they can have fun with that like I don’t understand the appeal if I’m being honest but it is a very different way to play the game.

Not my thing but you know if people enjoy it more power to them

There used to be an ironman challenge, reach max level with only grey/white gear. No grouping with others, bgs, dungeons ect. You can only get xp from mobs and quests. You die you start over from level 1.

If I ever stop raiding I might try that challenge.

When I was a young man I traveled extensively throughout Asia. The stories I could tell you.

There is too much rng bs to make me think that would be a fun way to play.

I watched a couple vods from karzog (sp?) who has done a ton of hardcore runs and while it’s probably not something I’d ever take the time to do personally, it’s pretty interesting to watch, particularly at the higher levels. Brd is a lot higher stakes when any member of the party dying means they lose their entire progress. I personally could never stick to it, but it is entertaining to watch.

I believe whatever server he plays on has a pretty involved hardcore community as well. Which would be pretty important since a lot of them also run with extra rules similar to POE (no AH, and you can only trade with other hardcore players)

If you’re going to play a Priest and have to delete based on number of deaths, I’d spec disc. Sounds fun!

disc also sounds fun! hmm possibilities!

whenever i make a character, and it usually lasts until about level 8 when i get caught in a cave. but then i just give up and keep leveling.

No, and I’m not one to kink shame.

It seems fun, but there is too much weird stuff that happens in WoW while leveling for me to ever consider it.

Thanks to the internet, hasn’t everyone?
