Invasion is too hard

That's the point of HC. I won't ever play HC because I like progress. I face tanked Dominus in Normal this time around, something I was never able to do before, even with a bit of twinking (portaled only once to refill flasks), but now, the corrupted areas in Cruel is destroying me. Died 20 plus times now to suicidal overconfidence.

Invasion is easily doable, people like challenge and risk of dying to be there. Go play on scrubcore and not whine on feedback forums :)

Nothing is wrong with Ambush. GGG makes two different leagues for a very good reason, different player demands.

A lot of players are loving Invasion and praising GGG for making such a brutal league. The hardcore leagues are designed to be more deadly than the softcore leagues. If the difficulty of Invasion is too much for you then you should take a step down to Ambush. Again, nothing is wrong with playing at a level of difficulty you are comfortable with. It is highly recommended you do so that you end up doing what is most important, enjoying the game.

Completely agreed. And said even better than I could have. +1'd Mr Clocksimus.

Did they disable Alt F4 too?

Increase. Rewards.

These bosses should give same drop amount as act bosses. I've ran across invasion bosses in act 1 nm and they were 10x harder than brutus or merveil but dropped garbage

Just have to decide whether Invasion is the league for you.

Previous hardcore leagues were very much a learning thing. There were RIPs when things started, especially to stuff like corrupted blood and storm herald but once you learned those things you were good and even without ensuring you have great gear for your level you'd be able to make it through if you played smart. But in a way this made things easy, because as long as you played smart there wasn't anything that could kill you really.

Invasion will occasionally kill you regardless of whether or not you play smart. Even with great gear, even knowing the bosses you'll sometimes die. Some like it as an additional challenge as playing smart no longer ensures your survival, others dislike it for the exact same reason. In the end it means that to survive in hardcore you have to play the meta-game, you have to alt-f4, you have to reload zones, you have to skip. All actions where you survive by expressly not playing the game.

Do note that I'm neither saying all Invasion deaths happened even with smart play, plenty of people die to stupid mistakes, but not all deaths. Nor am I in any way saying that previously mentioned meta-gaming is in anyway bad, it's simply a different playstyle that not every subscribes to.

Personally I do hope the next hardcore league will be different. I play hardcore for the immersion and realism it brings, which isn't really possible in Invasion, you have to game Invasion or you won't make it that far. Especially if you enjoy exploring zones, doing full-clears and you never alt-f4 or logout in a tough spot.

Well said.

I think the guy getting raped raw and loving it is just into that sort of thing irl. I like it to be difficult and a challenge but to me when death becomes arbitrary and the game forces you to do things like alt+f4 and skip content its gone too far.

If the only way to succeed at the game is to not play parts of it then the game fails. If the only 'mechanics' that make it hard are off screen one-shot deaths, desynch, and the fact that you hardly ever find gear worth a crap then really do you have an arpg? To me you just have a slot machine disguised as an arpg.

Yeah I know a few of you like it and good for you. I'll bet if they disabled rezoning and put a thirty second timer on alt+f4 logging you out you'd be crying more than most people because well, that's your build. alt+f4 is your main skill supported by ctrl+click the entrance.
