(28th April) Hardcore Cut-throat Event!

Hmm... again starting at midnight in central europe. :(

If there was a prize for the first to die, I believe I would take it hands down :)

Getting a little too much computer lag during tests runs today so won't be streaming this event, gonna see if my sugar mama will buy me a new system before the next event.

I will go solo again.

Solo is the way of a true warrior ;)

Solo is too easy, I'm gonna handicap myself with a team this time

No streamers again?:S Well, gonna entertain myself with the ladder stats again lol~~

Got killed by invisible mobs, dammit.

Played a bit, killed some people, got my heartrate up. Then equipped a shield and axe, then died to a duelist in a one-sided, I-had-no-chance fight.

And then I remembered I still hate hardcore. Meh...

that was a ton of fun. i went ranger and leveled to 6 as fast as i could, then went looking for kills. wound up picking up 3 kills before dying to a lvl 5 marauder that 2 shot me. op.

i think this format has a ton of potential, though for short hc leagues id suggest limiting how far you can progress to force more pvp. maybe only allow people to go up to brutus? or at most the end of act 1. that way it becomes a contest of having to fight for your life, instead of just a solo speedrun.

some more random ideas i had:

-give a significant exp reward for killing players so trying to pick fights would be more competitive with speedrunning. greatly reduce the reward for killing lower leveled players.

-dont allow people to join instances with unpartied players that are more than, say, 2 levels below them. gradually lower the restriction the farther you got in the game and eliminate in the last available zone.

-greatly increase drop rate for scrolls and low tier orbs. eliminate random skill gem drops. those changes would even out the luck a bit and make for a better competitive game mode.

anyways, very fun. looking forward to the next one.
