Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen any conversations around hardcore being an option in Classic+, I'm not sure what everyone else's thoughts are on it but it's been a successful (and fun!) way to play especially self found.
Anyone else hoping to see it included?
Let me preface it by saying, I don't really see the appeal of hardcore. Playing scared has never been fun. That said, if people like it, let them have it. But I'd rather it come as a later addition, and not as a default option on launch. That way we avoid immediately splintering the playerbase and ensure the maximum launch week lag, and the fun of full servers.
There has been pretty consistent interest in Hardcore so I wouldn't be surprised to see some new modes or rulesets announced for it, even if Classic+ doesn't wind up having a Hardcore mode.
I'd like it to be included in some fashion. While on my couple of attempts I never made it terribly far, it was a very unique experience. Honestly, it might be cool to somehow integrate Hardcore players with the regular playerbase and have them both co-exist on the same realm. That would come with all sorts of challenges, heh. Immediately off the top of my head a problem would be doing dungeons/raids with a mix of hardcore and softcore and a wipe will knock out all your hardcore players. Interesting problem to solve.
I can also see there growing tensions between the soft and hard players - the former find the latter too slow and overly cautious, while the latter don't respect the former. But tbh I'm all for it. More social chaos is what the game needs. Good idea.Shadostruct wrote: ↑1 month agoImmediately off the top of my head a problem would be doing dungeons/raids
Before Hardcore, I think they had a buff on Season of Mastery to show that your character hadn't died yet. So that's one way they could do a type of integration without people actually losing their characters permanently and creating those sorts of problems. Not quite the same, but a decent compromise imo
Soul of Iron buff, I thought it was great. Wish they had it on Era and TBC!Luxrah wrote: ↑1 month agoBefore Hardcore, I think they had a buff on Season of Mastery to show that your character hadn't died yet.
