You would be suprised at the amount of warriors on hardcore even right now, being one of the best dps pushes so many. Seen many a madlad with only weapons.

So, what happens when you get to 60? You just stop playing?
Nobody cared how hard it is to get to 60, or fast you do it, if that’s all you do. The whole server is permadeath, forever, no exceptions. The accomplishment isn’t just getting to 60 on this server, its how long do you survive.
That’s what hard-core is. It’s one life, its not just some weird solo bragging right contest.

The reward is playing with equally dedicated individuals in a challenge based ecosystem. Sure that level 60 person MAY have bought gold… But that is very unlikely and they still had to level the whole way thanks to the “no boosting” rules implemented. The journey and community is the reward here.

I’d say this is honestly pretty cool.
I do wish we could roll characters of the TBC races, just for the added variety.
Also, I will stress again; Blizzard, PLEASE bring back TBC Classic (and if at all possible, with players’ characters prior to the Wrath pre-patch).

yeah it kinda sucks, you’d think that because the class has a built-in way to avoid death it would be fun to make use of it in a hardcore environment but oh well

I would just like to raise my hand in support of this coming to Retail as well. Alternatively, I could settle for Paladins being unable to attack if they have a bubble up.

personally if there’s no restrictions based on trading server-side, I won’t consider anyone not using the addon a part of the hardcore community

Very nice. 2 changes I would suggest.
-
Make ear trophies only available at 60. There will be people afk farming trophies at lvl 10.
-
Decrease petri flask duration to 30 sec.

As long as HC players keep to the HC realm and don’t ruin the experience of non-HC players(vice-versa) I’m glad and this is really good!
You can keep using the HC-addon to make it even more challenging, and with the achievements etc, you don’t need to use the AH if you don’t want to, it’s already like this right now but with the extra official permadeath, which will make a litter harder for bots, and what’s the interest in having bots in HC servers anyways? I might be wrong on this though. So I think the complaints about the mail/trade/AH are kinda brainwashed into “THIS IS THE RULES, MUST FOLLOW”, add the challenge yourself with the addon and feel free to play as you like!
I do agree with the petri flask nerf.

apparently not, tho its not a surprise… however with that said what difference does it make it they’re bad or great if they are having fun?

If deaths in BGs werent permanent, I’d consider making a Level 39 Hunter ‘twink’ just for the fun of low-level BGs and to participate in the Hardcore world.
they aren’t brainwashed, you are just unaware and oblivious to it’s nature because it doesn’t affect your personal view or gameplay. bots completely ruin mmo’s for me, as does “paying for power”

Additionally, we’ve carried over the group experience restrictions from Season of Mastery—meaning that players that are significantly higher level than the creatures in a given dungeon will cause those creatures to grant trivial experience to the other members of the group. Higher-level characters “power-leveling” lower-level characters are not something that we feel is appropriate for WoW Classic Hardcore.

Maybe they should also disable gear drops in dungeons if you have a higher level character in your group. That would really kill any kind of dungeon boosting. The only thing you’d be able to do is complete quests which is just kind of whatever.

I have to disagree, and anyways we are making theories about something that didn’t happen yet, if the HC servers do get crowded with bots and ruins economy of the HC experience, it’s so easy to just keep using the HC official addon, and forget about the economy aspect of the game? That’s why I’m saying it sounds like a brainwashed idea, because there are multiple solutions, and of course bots complety ruin mmo’s for me as well, aren’t you happy that an official HC realm is launching?

Well that explains all the influencer talk about this last month.

“Trivial” XP is not a thing in HC. It’s just called “Safe” XP. In other HC versions, it is recommended to do content that is “Trivial” as a guaranteed 200 XP gathered quickly is a better investment than 2000 XP that may end in your death.
