kek wait 24 hours to 60 game mode. do your daily dungeon until you get your bis and some significant xp then go back to leveling and repeat once the mobs ain’t green anymore.
Also paladin rule is an L if petri flasks are still in the game.

Maraudon is one continous dungeon with multiple entrances. It’ll be one mara entrance every 24 hours. Each Scarlet Monastery wing is behind different instance portals, those should all be seperate.

I’m not sure what your point is. The problem with building all the “features” of the addon into the base game means it would have taken a lot more time to do. Also, a lot of sociopathic gankers are going to be upset that they no longer can make money streaming themselves killing hundreds of levelers a day. Should that have been left in?
Talk to the addon writer if you need to have more restriction enforced on you and others who agree with you. I’m sure he will fill the gaps.

The problem about SM though is that all 4 dungeons share ID, so it feels like it will lockout if you do GY and then will go do quests for a while (unless blizz will do something about SM ids specifically)

My guess is HC will allow one Mara ID, not entrance, every 24 hours. The same for SM, Dire Maul, Stratholme. They’ll be like mini-raids. You can enter and leave as many times as you wish, saving you and your groupies to that version of the instance for the next 24HR.

I would like to see a HC server with auction house and trading disabled; this eliminates so much of the challenge if it stays. I can understand if some want to play this way which is fine; lets just have separate servers.

Mail and AH need to be turned off for three reasons:
-
The real HC community won’t play it as the addon will still be necessary to prevent cheaters.
-
Mail and AH will be exploited in some way to give players an advantage. Even having a level 20 to farm low-level mats and craft armor/weapons for new toons basically destroys the point of the challenge. Getting a level 60 to farm gear, consumes and mats that can be mailed to new toon is game-breaking in terms of the HC challenge.
-
There is literally no argument that having an AH or mail is in the spirit of HC. The only people who want mail and AH are people who want to make the trip to 60 easier.
HC is not my thing, but I’m really glad the HC community is getting a server. Don’t mess it up for them.

If you think this won’t still happen people are deluded it just will happen in places where plausible deniability is going to be in their favor like in dungeons where a hunter just roleplays as the worst player on earth.

Simple. Because of DC and bug deaths. At least on a normal server while using the add-on, you can appeal those and keep your status. On Blizzard’s official server, you’re screwed. Anyone who has spent anytime playing HC has seen many people die to things out of their control, hence the appeal process. That alone will stop the HC community from moving to these new servers.

The only problem i see if a lot of players will still prefer solo self-found rules will be the named mobs bottleneck yet again.

Please make sure to include free xfers to Whitemane even though it’s technically PvE to PvP. Right now Bloodsail Buccaneers allows paid xfers to Whitemane, but only free xfers to Mankrik (which is dead).

“Your character is not necessarily lost if you die, however. After dying on a Hardcore realm, players will be able to choose to utilize the Free Character Move service and move their dead character to a non-Hardcore Classic Era realm.”
So, basically anybody who is intending to create a new character on a non-HC Classic Era Realm can easily just roll on a HC realm, then troll a group of players in a dungeon by wiping them, and bang! They have their character where they intended to roll anyway, and some “fun” to go along with it.

Very excited for this. Also, it addresses a lot of concerns that many people have or had with the system.
I think it all looks really good, and can’t wait to check it out. I play the add-on, and there just seems to be to many aspects that most people tolerated for the experience. I thought achievements would be a nice addition as well, but I can live without em.
All in all, a W for me.
