Soul of Iron Alterations

I apologize if this has been mentioned somewhere in the forums before, but I wanted to comment on the Soul of Iron mechanics. I love that they are making an option for the hardcore community but I do want to see two basic changes to the concept.

  1. The NPC’s that initiate the Soul of Iron should be in the starter zones. Not two major cities, for example if you’re a night elf, you’re basically skipping 10 levels of the challenge, or dying before you turn the challenge on as you run all the way to Ironforge.

  2. Players should be required to take the Soul of Iron buff by level 2, if they want to choose this route. I don’t see how players turning this option on at level 50 is the same as level 1 for example. It makes it more interesting to know how far other players have come in the challenge.

Just two thoughts that popped into my head, otherwise I am very happy to give this challenge a try and happy Blizzard is giving something to spice up classic!

The system knows if youve died prior to activating Soul of Iron, So if you’ve died at any point in the game, the npc will not let you activate “Soul of Iron”

Awesome, I did not know about this information. Not that it matters I’ll die to falling early anyway. :slight_smile:
