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.
-
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.
-
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!
