Sounds like fun. might try it out tonight.

I tried it last night using a wiz. So far okay, got to level 8 at and stopped at the skeleton king level.

My friend asked about hardcore mode and i told him can die only one time. He went "what's the point"...

Done with SK last night. So far not much trouble... then again still at low levels. Time for ACT I boss next

So far it's been fun.

For some reason i just didn't want to continue leveling up my SC character yesterday. Ended up playing HC for 3 hours when i meant to only play for one... cause i haven't even completed SC normal yet. LOL

We need more hardcore players...

Forgot to add my tag in my earlier post:

dharmabums#1762

reaching Belial soon... it's one of the bosses which i don't do very well in. Hope to survive.

my wiz died last night!

Was taking on an elite who was spamming fear (the one with the skull on your head) at my wiz. Had no control of my wiz who ran into a corner and was then quickly surrounded my mobs. Couldn't even use pots or skills because of their fear spamming... so sad. it was one of those WTF moments.

Perhaps we should have a graveyard for all our dead characters in the front. It would go like this:

#tag | character name | class | level when died

Haven't had a chance to hardcore last weekend. Both my hardcore toons at their early teens. Good to see there are more people playing hardcore now.

I'm up for hardcore on Sundays Noon (No access to pc on saturdays!) It's a shame there's only 4 slots per party.

First time HC character dying, same as the three up there. After that it's like, wokay... roll again. First time is always the hardest.

I'll try to catch you online tonight. I saw your name pop up last night but was busy lvling up my SC barb.

OMG What happened? Leoric's Manor wasn't far from where i left you last night! OH well... don't worry, i'll help tank you till you're back up to speed.

Tips: For those who died for the first time on HC, always keep a set of good low level items in your stash. It saves your time from looking for items once again and helps you power level up.

Softcore = fun
Hardcore = fun x10

Seriously softcore you don't really feel an attachment to your character cause if die can always revive. In hardcore you will feel proud of your character for every level you gain. and when you will cry/scream wtf.

Can use weapons?

Lets see if i got you right:
(1) At start of challenge may only hold 1 slot - which is usually the weapons slot.
(2) May apply 1 new weapon either 1 equipment only when you kill a named enemy/boss/elite...
(3) Cannot change a used slot for either weapon or Equipment until all other slots are full, that includes all rings and amulets (?)

Is that all? Did i get all this right? Shall we call this Ultimate Hardcore mode ?

3 question though; what if i slot in equipment that i picked up earlier from my other toons? and how do we keep track of it all - who's going to monitor against people who cheat? repeat quest?

Well you see i actually store good low level Equipment (usually level 0-10 items) in my stash which i have collected over all my hardcore adventures. It saves time trying to collect them all over again when ever you die.

ULTIMATE HARDCORE


Challenge accepted!

Farm for equipment first with your normal hardcore toons. So far no restrictions on it... yet LOL. Like i said before always keep some low level equipment for your freshly made hardcore toon. Makes leveling up easier.

Edit: Y no add me to ultimate hardcore? I'm like the first to accept challenge!

I've only used AH once for my sc DH but never played it already after buying from AH. Don't really see much point of buying from AH for HC, when you can lose it all in a second.

Haven't gotten a slotted item at level 15 yet though. Any rules for using gems for UHC (ultimate hardcore)?

For a parent you seem to have more time to play diablo than me! LOL

Tried Ultimate hardcore just now with shootkk, working our way up to skeleton king. So far not as challenging as i thought. Then again its still the early levels. Skeleton king took a while to kill since we were still using the same weapons we were starting with.

From the start of the game, there were at least 13-15 elites, named enemies and bosses. So filling up all your slots isn't difficult. Only problem is replacing items like weapons.
