It’s part of the game it very much was considered. It is the same game just on one version you can die and respawn and the other you can’t. You may be overthinking this a lot.
Let’s not quibble over what death really means in a fantasy video game, shall we? By and large it’s not a big deal if HC players can engage in BGs with the rest of the associated clusters (Era and Anniversary alike) for some fun BG action. In actuality, this would actually be really good for Era players in general if Era HC could join BGs as it would open up a lot of people who might wish to rank, having the same impact DD had when that was popular.
I think the only real question that needs to be on the table is whether or not HC players should gain access to the PvP ranking gear in such a context as I believe they currently can’t get it. I don’t really have an opinion on the latter, or HC at all for that matter, but I do think it’s a tad silly to try to reject this from the “but you die” argument.
HC players have proven themselves. They can have a little fun in PvP.
Who is doing that? The rules are very cut and dry on this one…
That would ruin hardcore prog, when you can only do a dungeon once a day to prebis, why not just rank?
getting pvp gear would make hc more fun, this phase you cant get weapons it’s just armor
Then it’s not hardcore is it?
Nope. roll pve/pvp.
choosing a server with half the game missing is crazy
safe ways to obtain pvp gear would ruin the spirit of HC.
I like the idea of “HC” BGs, where every player has one “life” and at 1% feigns death and is out of the game.
I do believe you have this bass ackwards.
expand on that mate
Always enjoyed your content mate <3
