Will the real hardcore please stand up?

Is the current hardcore standard going to be choped liver when the official hardcore realm(s) open? …

Or will it be something akin to current hardcore being like Woodstock 1969…and Blizzard’s hardcore realms being Woodstock 1999?

I guess what I am getting at is…what will be the preferred hardcore and what will be the history of hardcore down the road?

Yes, there will be an aging group of losers who think their version was the only real one because a streamer told them some arbitrary rules.

Why wouldn’t it be the official Blizzard hardcore which you can add any additional rules of your own making? There’s all sorts of hardcore challenges out there now not just that touted by an addon developer. Play what you want. The awesome thing about the official Blizzard servers will be the freedom to customize but still live your single best life.

Well, probably until I die then quit for a while.

mode has 0 longevity without ssf and the shills huffing the cope are wild rn. dudes hopping from forum to forum to defend garbage decisions that make the game easier for people like them XD

May i suggest joining a guild that uses the HC addon while playing on the HC realm, so you can HC while you HC and be different to those that only HC.

Running dungeons that are 5 levels below their intended use, only doing green quests and hitting up all the starting areas is super, super hardcore.

Agreed, the copium the streamer mod clan uses to deal with the fact that they can’t gatekeep anymore is hilarious to watch.

Players like OP are why things fade. Your community garnered the attention of a company to such a degree to heed your desire and implement a server specifically for what that community likes.

Take a W. Also…

Honesty is now “seething and coping.”

What’s the difference between killing baddies that are 5 levels under you and running around with crusader on your grey sword?

No difference at all.

Since I won’t be doing either I don’t care if someone else wants to.

Which is why all the nonsense about “real” hardcore is like watching Mean Girls play out here.

That’s just cause you’re not “real” hardcore.

But, but…killing 200 merlocs to find 4 pearls is “real” hardcore, because I said so.

Trading isn’t HC unless I need gold for my mount at 40, because I’m that hard core.
