I found I kept getting killed by higher levels. Only ever got to level 4 max on one character. Got killed before I even saw who did it or had a chance. Once you die the first time it's hard to get back in and get levels back. I found people were camping in the shore encampment waiting to gank anyone who entered an instance there.

Pretty much my experience. Getting ganked by insanely fast flicker strike campers in the Terraces was not a lot of fun. I had two tries and abandoned the idea, it's obviously not my cup of tea.

Flicker strike? Or phase run + Dual Strike?

I think there should be messages just like the "first to reach....xx area" for certain gems.

FLICKER STRIKE HAS BEEN OBTAINED! EVERYBODY RUN!

Edit: The only person who attacked me did that, he ran up with phase run and used dual strike. It wasnt very powerful because we were similar level.
If he stayed and fought rather than using phase run to run away again he would have died =(.

PvP is really hard to balance in a PvM game, really have to decide which is the main priority or you end up with a clusterfuck of op fotms like wow.

@NotSorry - you are correct, I meant to say Phase Run. Regardless, a rapid death :)

Yea phase run + dual strike is just so much damage, and if the first hit didn't kill you the second one generally lands before your stun is over from the first attack.

In terms of entertainment I personally had a lot more fun in the Default CT league, because people didn't just quit after one death, and while losing all gear hurts a bit it's real easy to grab another set and be back in the action.

Not sure why ppl would stop after one, there was nothing stopping stashing stuff, i did as much and used it. Didn't get to experiment much with that tho since i died pretty far in.

Keeping higher levels from killing them doesn't help them get back in the race (behind is behind, all things considered)

Sure it helps, it's hardcore, everyone above you could die/be killed.

I really want to see how a long term default CT league would play out. Don't even need prizes just open for people to go in and go crazy testing everything CT related.

Yes please, get me back into closed beta.

5.)Really happy with the feature where someone has to wait before they alt+tab/change instances. Definately a keeper. Would be nice to have in hardcore league as well.

Isn't changing instances instantaneous, what am i missing here?

By alt+tab do you mean exiting the game? If so then this is already the case in HC non-CT (not sure on the length, might also be 5 seconds), they just don't show you the 5 second timer.


Also i just realized a bug, i entered Mud Flats at the end, and was killed by Vug before the supposed 10 second safety net, couldn't even reach the waypoint before dying.

My computer just hates mud flats, so I load but don't have control of my character til my 10secs of safety is up which has gotten be killed 2 weeks in a row now.

Like it loads, then is like "oh shit so much shadowing textures, then freezes up for 6-10seconds"

Maybe they could preload more of the instance area before placing your character into the instance other than that only thing I can think of is upgrading my computer.

unsane the safety net is gone once you make an action such as moving.
