Lots of negative response could easily lead GGG to the conclusion, the players dont like this so we just wont do it again. OR we (GGG) put a lot of work into this and the players just want to shit all over us(GGG).

If you really really need hardcore, there is nothing more hardcore than deleting your own character when you die and holding to your own self imposed rule set.

Guess what, I PLAY ON FUCKING HARDCORE 99% of the time im on path. Glad to see all of you are so fucking quick to jump to conclusions.

If you play hardcore and think that deleteing your char on death fix the problem you are ignorant.
HC is allot more then you losing your stuff of death, its about that everyone does that and the more stable economy that comes from it. If you play "simulated hc" while rest is playing sc you cant compete. This option is only valid if you plan to play solo selffound in the 1 month.

I played sc for like 6 month to get to know the game, then it got boring as hell so i started playing the 4month hc leageas and guess what? its a totaly diffrent game.

And for the ppl saying its all about ALTf4, i logout at most ones / week, and ppl prefer to not log out and usually only do it in bad situations cause by descync / lag.

Ok it can be HC if they give a prize for highest 5 characters with no deaths.

There I fixed it.

HC players make every character name with _HC at the end, so then people know you play as HC.

Easy but maybe some people are just worried to have fun, it will make them weak or something.

You can't play "as HC" in a softcore league. This can only come from someone who has never played hc :P

Finally, cool events without HC-only tags. I know quite a few people that just won't play HC in this game, so this is a good booster for the game.

so those "quite a few people" will make up the revenue for the whole hc community which has not even 1 single reason to play poe at all for the next month?


i really doubt it

hc leagcy is deserted we all play fresh leagues mostly

no idea how much chris smoked to make such a terrible buisness decision

Man its very disappointing that this is a non-HC league will probably dont play it because of that

I'm disappointed that it will be SC only, was really looking forward to it.

Maybe this is just a ploy. Perhaps HC was planned all along, but withheld in the announcement.
Then, as the inevitable whining starts... HC will be "added" due to "player feedback".

Just so they can say "we listen to our customers" :^)

Right? RIGHT? That's the only explanation I can come up with as to why HC isn't being included as an option.

non-HC wtf? what are you guys doing? you can't abandon your HC playerbase.

But abandoning non-HC player base (70% something of all players?) is ok?

i spent a month hyped for this league only to find out it's SC only

bravo GGG! 10/10 troll. you got me good! assholes.

I don't post very often, but this announcement merits a response.

What the hell are you smoking in NZ? Who sat there and thought the idea of not having a HC variant would be a good idea? Way to alienate over half your player-base, GGG. See you in a month, please check your MTX earnings after this league and see how bad of a hit they take.

Such a dumb idea

Onslaught, Nemesis and Invasion
One month yolo league :D
HC only , SC is poor
