There are many quirky and strange things in Classic that can cruelly and unfairly kill you, which, of course, is why Hardcore is great and really fun. However…
Ship-drops, FP-drops and DC’s should not be among them. This should really be common sense to just about anyone.
Hardcore is fun, but it sucks losing a char. I’d wager hardcore won’t last for another couple of months; five at the absolute tops. Its pop will shrink the more people experience the 1-20 grind since lvl 15 seems to be the level when people die the most.
The casuals are already leaving and it’s wonderful. There are plenty of hardcore players that enjoy the mode and are happy to see the weaker population move on to softer games.
Ship drops currently teleport you to a graveyard. They should modify FP drops to exhibit the same behavior as it’s for the same reason “transfer aborted”
As far as DCs that is a bit harder to address as we don’t want people alt+F4 or yanking their ethernet cord to avoid a death.
I agree it is fun lost 2 charc’s myself already but I think when Season of Discovery hits it’ll take a good chunk from Hardcore at least for awhile if not permanently.
I’m loving Hardcore, it’s very addictive, but to me personally it’s more just a fun side thing, I’m absolutely excited for SoD so hardcore will definitely hold me over till November 30th.
I’m taking a break so that I can finally get around to playing Baldur’s Gate 3. But I know that I’ll be back, probably quite soon. I sometimes wobble between different games, and I’ll likely get the itch to play Minecraft again at some point
That flight path D/C and then dropping to your death when you log back in… that existed in original version. The worst part about it though, sometimes it resets your spells so you cant bubble or iceblock down. I have been playing WoW since it first launched on 04 so many years ago. Have only died to this bug a few times. You have a much greater chance of dying in the Undercity elevator than you do this bug.
If you do D/C in middle of a flight path, it is easy enough to save yourself. You can ask some friends to come in game to where you logged out, have a mage there, log in, have the mage cast slowfall on you… Saved.
