I’m highly anticipating the advent of the official HC servers for WoW, but unfortunately at this time information is scarce to non-existent.
How do you guys think they’ll handle the Resurrection spells?
I know that by the rules of the mod, dying - at all - means a failure of the run and the deletion of your character. Which is understandable!
What I’m hoping for is that, instead of completely devaluing resurrection, there be a small ‘grace period’. Currently, when you die, you have a six-minute timer that starts to “release spirit”. I think that, during this time, you should be able to be Resurrected without consequence (or hell, maybe even a short res sickness if you want some sort of punishment), and your character only truly dies once you “release spirit” and your soul runs off to the Shadowlands or whatever other nightmare expansion the devs want.
This would increase the value of healers significantly, would add a small glimmer of hope when out questing that maybe a friendly healer would wander upon you and resurrect you, and make dungeoneering just a little bit less potentially catastrophic for singular players.
To stem potential abuse of this grace period, you could force-release characters who log out of the game so they can’t save a character through log-out shenanigans, and perhaps even restrict access to chat functions so they can’t cry out their co-ordinates to General or Guild chats to get someone to run to their aid. They’re supposed to be Almost Dead at this point and aren’t in the position to be talking, after all.
What are your thoughts?

Yep rez to trade all the goodies to your alta before byou go in 6 minutes … great loop hole idea.
They have said that you will be a ghost that can send mail after you die.
Also you have one life only, and I personally don’t think they will allow appeals or any type of ress.
As a general rule if something can be used to game the system, it will, and may even become “meta”.
HC removes things from the game by nature, in my opinion a resurrect of any kind is one of them.
My prediction is that this potentially makes healers and tanks the “chad” player roles of HC because you gotta be good and study the game to not get everyone deleted lol.
I think they will be a waste of gold to train! (might be cool if they made the corpse lootable though).

Can always use it to revive hunter pets
I truly don’t understand it.
Hey guys you know Hardcore? That version of the game where the whole point is to level 1-60 without dieing or you have to start over?
Well how about we add this feature where we completely ignore the whole basis for this version of the game and can just like res and stuff?

Oh yeah, 'cuz having a 6 minute window totally removes the risk aspect of the game. Yep. Surely no one will die at all now, because of that.

Just realize it’s a bad idea.
The entire concept of Hardcore is 1 life.
Being able to res at all defeats the whole purpose of the challenge.

Cool.
So with that in mind there is no resurrection possible unless Blizz decides to include a pop-up if your character is over a certain level that allows you to be reborn on an existing PVE server (most likely the Mankrik cluster unless they expand to allow free transfers to PVE West) in Era.
Just my two copper.
But Blizzard have already said you cannot ress at all but you can be a ghost that can use the mailbox.
haha posted prior to the announcement
i should start a third career with california psychics
Queue Billy Madison everyone is now dumber meme…
Edit: just realized this is an old post.
It’s completely against the point of HC and Blizzard has made their stance extremely clear. There is no rez, it is a dead spell.
Rez a player who has been dead for no more than 60 seconds is not cheating hardcore. Many players will expire . Guarantee. If you add that a player who rez gets PVP flagged.
If you add longer cool downs to rez spells like 24 hrs. It will be very hard to exploit that spell because 60 seconds is very little time to coordinate anything. Literaly you have to be around the player who died
Benefits :
This will make PVP an option.
This will make raids and dungeons more realistic but not less deadly
With a 60 secs rez window and 24 hrs spell cooldowm. Hardcore will not be less dealy. People will die almost at the same rate.
Rezzing in HC would be almost as pointless as you resurrecting this old thread

i CARE LESS. YOU OWN WOW AND I OWN MY MONEY. NARROW MINDED PEOPLE LIKE YOU RUINED WOW. ALSO, THE CLOSED WOTLK IN ORDER TO RELEASE CATA WHICH IS THE REASON PEOPLE WANTED TO GO BACK TO CLASSIC, BECAUSE CATA WAS A GAME CHANGING FOR WOW AND THE END OF IT
I apologize for ruining WoW. Also, I agree with you now on everything you said. The all-caps really drove the point home and is ultimately what convinced me.
