Please make official challenges for hardcore where you can get titles if you complete them. Things like nudist, or no talents used, or only using white gear, soloist, etc. or even all of them at once and do an iron man challenge and have a title for that.
Would add some extreme replayability beyond but we already have here.
Eh, you can do that already. Just self impose the rules. No limit on how you want to play!
Challenges would be a good addition for the mode. I think titles would be okay of they were only active on the HC servers.
We have asked for this since 2012 … but keep up the good work!
This really is the perfect type of thing that people could create an add-on for.
It sure would be … if it was more customizable than the HC addon was. It was not possible for instance to pick the things only adding up to the OG IronMan Challenge.
The HC add-on was trying to do a lot simply because it was trying to not track dying and people tended to cheat and find reasons to justify their deaths. Eliminating all that would make it easier just log events under characters. I mean it wouldn’t stop all cheating, but honestly most of this stuff is for personal goals anyway, and I would think you would be able to set up a toolset that would allow people to create then import a challenge, you could even assign a “title” similar to how TRP3, for anyone with the add-on, where also like TRP you could get a run down of what the challenge was. Just building on the game being HC already, and having the option to flag as SF solves a number of the challenges.
Most challenges would be based on, and an add-on really should be able to track all of it, at least as a log level.
This would bbe fine, The HC addon was useless to me as an IronMan because it was essentially a SF-addon, tracking and preventing - use of mail and AH as well. And because sme things could not be combined - I do not any more remember which, and something with bags counting as blue/green item maybe
I’d prefer Blizzard support their game and make additions instead of some rando addons. It’s kind of like preferring to play on the official servers rather than the pirate servers.
Everyone saw the cheats, bribery, etc when everyone was running the addon on Bloodsail, it’s just not as desirable as official. (Imo)
So yeah Blizz, revisit HC at some point and build some interesting challenges with fun titles attached please.
Not sure why we are getting push back from players regarding expanding support for HC. Anyway…
I think we need a lot of the challenges mentioned before. Specifically I’d like to see (1) white armor only, (2) duo found, (3) guild found, (4) pvp flag always on mode.
Well you might want blizzard to do this, but the likely hood they actually will is close to zero, HC is already extremely niche and of that almost nobody plays SF, so the question is will they continue to throw resources at HC? Guessing not.
Also if you want to cheat doing the something like the nude challenge, go right ahead, it doesn’t mean anything. I mean honestly do you really think that blizzard is going to waste tens of thousands of dollars if not more so four to five people can run around without any gear on?
All of those things are DOA.
Right that’s why the HC addon which led to Bliz creating the HC servers promoted these achievements and they were popular with that community. (sarcastic)
Obviously so. It doesn’t hurt to bring it up from time to time though. Squeaky wheel and all that jazz …
Yes, I realise that cheating here is only cheating myself.
Thing is, players like challenges and competition. These challenges could be fun for many of us, and cheating is less likely with official vs addon created.
That has to be an exaggeration, the addition of a couple of titles and a couple of challenges to start isn’t like making a season or fresh with changes. Not going to argue this, I doubt that statement.
(1) is part of how we - the IronMan Challengers - played from 2012 till now 
Actually thats probably an understatement of how much something like this would cost, most people constantly underestimate what development actually costs unless its just a configuration change, which these wouldn’t be, and thats likely per challenge. So while yes the cost of managing the fresh servers is likely more, simply bringing in some of the changes which were pretty much already completed in SOD, might not really be as difficult.
Ultimately though it comes down to lack of playability for many of them and overall lack of population. I mean you used Fresh as an example, how many people are playing it and using Dual Spec? A lot, probably on every character. Now how many people do you think will actually make a real go at hitting 60 with say the nude challenge in HC (probably the easiest one to code) and of those people, how many will do it multiple times? At best you’re probably looking at double digit numbers.
So you can keep hoping, but just think at worst if you can get people for an add-on you have something which can be community driven, and can have lots of interesting challenges, alternatively, you can wait for Blizzard in the hopes that one day maybe they add 1-2 additional challenge type scenarios.
It’s just an idea man, some will play, some will move on. That’s the way these things work.
As I said, I wont argue costs, since neither of us can know… unless you are an employee. It’s fun to imagine what could be added, stop being such a downer and join in. 
Leaderboard for the IronMan challenge shows that people amounting to thousands have done and still do this challenge. … and looking at the leaderboards for the first time in years, I see that most of the old data (Cata to BFA) and much of the newer as well (inactive characters deleted) has been lost in migration … this is exactly the danger of these private inititatives.

The easiest would be to have the Soul of Iron buff in different variations and have the API checking against the chosen criterions - I know this is what the IMC leaderboard does - no idea of how; but can be done, has been done.
Unfortunately the old crew of IMC is not as active any longer (among them the code wizard), so even thought Classic API was given free, nothing so far has happened towards a Classic leaderboard.
I would like to see extended HC support from Blizzard. I do not get the impression that Hardcore is niche, seems quite popular to me??? I’d love to them to add new challenges. I suspect Self Found mode was possibly a test to see if player wanted more. If the data shows them self-found was well received, I suspect they will add new integrated challenges and difficulties.
It is pretty popular. I don’t care much about streamers, but HC alone is keeping WoW in the top 10 streamed games almost all the time. Adding official challenges would only help get them views and people interested. That’s fine by me because I’d love the challenges, myself. Official support with HC server titles would be fantastic.
