Hard Core Confirmed | RDF vs HC Social Experiment

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

No RDF in classic cuz it was deemed “anti-social”, but Blizz logic is to make an even more anti-social version of the game called Hard Core!..

Hard Core is an abomination. ClassicHC Dot Net

  • You only have 1 life, if you DIE you must Delete character or leave it as a Perma-Ghost.
  • World and Player buffs, and assistance are permitted, so long as you DO NOT ASK for them, or continue taking help.
  • No Auction House. No Player to player mail (collecting NPC mail is permitted). Your personal bank can be used.
  • No Grouping Out in the Open World (unless you are en route to your Hardcore Dungeon).
  • No Trading Of Any Kind with Other Characters (even for conjurables like mage food and water or warlock healthstones)
  • You can use ALL gear that you self craft or obtain yourself via quests, drops or NPC traders (all rarities).
  • Warlocks can’t resurrect via SS, Shamans can’t resurrect via Ankh, Paladins can’t Bubble Hearth, no Light of Elune + Hearthstone.
  • No Using the Auto Unstuck Feature to Teleport to Major Cities.
  • You can engage in open world PvP and the STV Arena events, if you so desire. How ever joining Battlegrounds and using ranking and PvP faction gear is forbidden.

This is the most anti-social version of the game possible.

  1. 1 life = you will not adventure, nor will you help your fellow player.
  2. Do not ask for buffs? …Asking for a buff is how I started some of my long term in-game friendships.
  3. No Auction House = no economy, less interaction with players. How long will you play if you don’t engage with people in a MMO?
  4. No Grouping?..seriously blows my mind this is a rule in a MMORPG. We play this game to be social, not online solo-campaign.
  5. No Trading (not even mage water) is disgusting. Again, these small engagements are how in-game friendships are made, and why the game even made it this far.
  6. No buying crafted gear, same thing as above, small engagements start life long friends.
  7. Death = delete, stuck = delete apparently.
  8. No PVP gear, No PVP, no Faction, no identity, no allegiance, no love for the game, just a solo campaign game.

Hard Core is rotten to the core for MMOs. We don’t have RDF because it is “anti social”, and Blizz is honestly making dedicated version of the game that is substantially more anti-social than RDF ever could accomplish.

PS. Thanks for BUFFING feral instead of fury warrior while I was gone. :rofl:

Hardcore doesnt stop you from grouping for grouped content…

PVP gear because no one is running heroics. There’s no progression from fresh 80 to raider outside of buying gear in GDKP.

Ease up on the racism! :astonished:
No one is talking in dungeons anyway so who cares if the messages they post (and not read) is in English or Spanish? :rofl:

Haven’t played retail since WoD. You’re cliche, and ineffectual.

I love it when disagreements over anything get labeled as “gatekeeping”

I love it when players want RDF before it was introduced into the game; Fall of the Lich King, patch 3.3.0. Phase 04 for WotLK Classic.

It is dishonest to cherry pick like that.

We’re on the last patch so warriors have been nerfed by 10% since P1, and same with ret with their tier set bonuses. We are not getting the original roll out experience so it is ok to expect things like RDF prior to implementation.

Agreed.

When did they confirm HC tho? Data miners found mentions of it one week. Then the very next week the data miners found blizzard took that out.

That authentic feature doesn’t release until ICC, so you still have hope.

For dungeons you are correct. No grouping for open world elite quests. Hardcore is super toxic.

Are you tank spec? It took me 3 minutes to assemble a group for normal heroic on my warrior.

They need to take more looks at Wrath before introducing a streamer fad used to generate revenue for streamers during a lull in wow content.

HC isn’t even fun. Just go slow. That isn’t skill or even a challenge. A majority of players will do this huge time sink to just AFK in their preffered capital city to have their “I spent way to much time to get to this point” ?bragging rights?

AH. That’s how you solve it. Everyone just reroll tanks. Good solution that will work for everyone and not have any repercussions. Has your queue popped for WSG yet?

BOO HOO this game should cater exactly to how I want to play it, or I’m going to moan about how its stupid and the companys fault for not putting a spoon feed system in for me!

Cry my a river you fairy. Tank to get your DPS gear and join a raid like everyone else.

You’re not special

Thank you for your engagement in this thread and keeping the main topic alive despite being a troll with sole intent to derail.

No. A game is no longer a game if it isn’t fun. Why play a GAME if it isn’t fun 100% of the time. No one wants to come home from work and play a game that isn’t fun for them.

I know this might be a hard concept to understand for a NEET, but try your best.
