You can literally play SSF today on any server you like. Hell, you can play SSF retail…why does blizzard need to do anything extra? Do you just want some sort of “I’m special” trophy in your buff bar or something?
A server dedicated to SSF would be 100% pointless because SSF has no meaningful social interaction.
You know, Arielba, that would be fine. I don’t believe most people have an issue with that.
Where the disconnect is sits with the idea that some people are attempting to coerce Blizzard to change the announced ruleset so they can force others into additional conditions that are not required for “hardcore” which prior to popularization of the addon was simply death=delete and that still is the determining factor in most other games with a “hardcore” mode.
Continue to ask for a title or cosmetic features if you wish to recognize how you played differently from others. I’ve no issue with that. But asking Blizzard to go much further beyond one life on the hc servers is not inclusive to other models of hardcore. Yours is not the only one.
You can play Softcore on any server you like, why demand that HC which is played with 1 death, no grouping and no trading, is turned into your vision of HC, just because you want to raid at 60?
Why not go to Era and raid there and if your char dies, just delete it? You are not the target group of HC realms, my friend.
HC realms are for those that did play on BSB and HW, that wanted an official realm with their ruleset. What you want is a fresh start on Era, you don´t need a new realm for that.
Just go to one of the dead Era realms and make your toon.
No one is stopping you from going to Era and deleting your char when it dies. You have the same ruleset like on the HC realm which is currently on PTR.
It´s silly to ask for changes to HC, just because you can´t wait a few more weeks for Era fresh. Instead of being happy for the HC guys that they are recognized, you try to take down their fun.
I will never understand what some people get from this kind of attitude, why not be happy for them?
FIFY
We could play either version anywhere. Hell, we could play Ironman anywhere.
It’d be nice if SSF was supported as an option on the official servers though.
1% of the type of players that play hardcore because they think leveling in this game with an extra set of arbitrary rules is a challenge worth wasting their time on make it to 60
The skilled players that see hardcore as nothing more than a tedious gimmick rather than an actual challenge dont invest hundreds of hours into doing it, because they are busy playing actual challenging and/or enjoyable content and would rather spend their time elsewhere
