From what I've seen a lot of people do seem to think macros are necessary for playing this game, especially with the idea that hardcore is alt+f4core. Maybe I'm in the minority since I don't use macros or log out when things get scary, but I can assure anyone considering hardcore that defensive builds and skilled/safe playstyles are certainly sufficient without ever logging out at lightning speeds.

It is Alt-F4 core if you want to take every damage node on the tree. Some people do (and then wonder why their +100% life, no ES builds can't last a minute in HC.

No HC specific reward is a downer:(

And for all of those who say that HC is softcore+(alt-f4), come and play HC, see how long you last. I can say alt-f4 saved my ass about 20% of the time when I got in a really bad situations that gave me a split second to predict my death if i don't log out. Most of the times you will die so fast, you will be staring at resurrect button in under millisecond.

stash tabs, i'm in

If you play HC, it should be because you want to play HC. Not because there is a black seraph reward.

Also giving specific rewards would make players who dont want to play HC feel forced to play it and get burned out (quit the game).

Not to mention that black seraph set would be very popular as a payed microtransaction and GGG needs things like this to stay in business.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that everyone had to play the game in accordance to YOUR personal preferences...

My personal opinion. Hardcore and Softcore shouldn't share the same reward. SC is a snooze fest, but having god mode and getting lvl 85 and getting the rest of the rewards super fast, makes me feel forced to play softcore.

Over and out.

I like SC because I really enjoy progression, overcoming problems and fine tuning my strengths. I kind of like dying because of the rewards of improvement, via gear checks or player skill, that come with it happening. HC is a different game That looks like it could be lots of fun and I am glad others enjoy it, but it is not a game for me.

I felt forced to play the HC for the last challenge, died twice in my 70s, one of them was at 79 half way to 80. Got burned out all the way until a months or two ago. Glad there is not pressure to repeat that.

Would that not mean you grab the challenges really fast in SC and them move to HC and play there? If that is the case how is that different than if there were two different rewards as I would think people would want both?

No, he's saying he's not a good enough HC player to have to risk the possibility of dying and not being able to reach 85, so he has to play SC to be safe. Yet he wants the possibility of winning in Hardcore and being distinguished as a "non-casual" tough macho-player that can play the game to 85 without dying. In any case, it's clear that his opinion is really invalid insofar as he's being forced to play SC. Whether or not HC and SC should have different prizes is a different debate.

Sounds great! Appreciate the change for the friday start. I know it's impossible to please everyone but I feel like this will probably appease most and I'm certainly excited about it.

Good stuff GGG

Most of these challenges look fairly easy/simple...

But as others have said, requiring a divine shrine is too steep a requirement for me. I have logged over 1600 hours into this game, and I'd estimate that at least 80-90% of that time was after the release of shrines.

Since then, I believe I have only found 2, and both were relatively recently.

Personally, I think it would be more reasonable to require Echoing Shrines, as they are quite rare, but not nearly as rare as Divine shrines (in my experience, at any rate).
