Announcing the One-Month Leagues (and Ambush/Invasion Challenge Winners)

Plz add 1month HC league !!

Btw good job GGG, finally some excitement on the forumz :)

GGG is the best. That said i'm extremely disappointed theres no hardcore league, please make a different choice here.

Theres obviously people who enjoy softcore and those who enjoy hardcore and it's all good everyones having fun. Still making the transition back to softcore after really long time hc playing is really difficult for myself at least, and thats why I think there should be both leagues.

You can play Hardcore Legue, Races, or SC 1 month, what's the problem? in August and become the races of 3 months.

Or miss her not being able to use ALT + F4 in a month?

The reason people return to this game is because of the unique feature of new leagues, people get to start fresh at the same time as others and tbh 1 month league is gonna be more hc than the 3 month league due to the time frame. I think a lot of people were looking forward to this league being hardcore. How hard is it to make both sc and hc ?

Last tim e i checked there is this league called Hardcore. Pretty sure it has a hardcore ruleset....

Good stuff GGG looks like a fun race I can understand why you decided to go SC with it.

The only difference between HC and SC is that you loose all your stuff once you die. For me HC feels horrible, because i feel like i wasted a shit ton of my life. MY LIFE!!!

The problem with many HC players is, that they think, they will be viewed as bad players only because they play in a SC league. Which is total bullshit, as you might imagine. You can still have the same thrill of HC in SC. Trust me! I think it´s good that GGG try to relieve this stigma and also try to put this stupid HS vs SC to an end.

I don't know what you mean by, "trust me". We've all played the game, we don't have to base anything on what someone else says, especially if that phrase is part of their argument. That reminds me of Dan Dennet about "surely".

People play HC for various reasons. Seeing what I can achieve with one life, playing solo, is the reason I play. Maybe I'll get into the top 100 again, or maybe I'll save up enough to get a decked out character, or maybe I'll solo every map boss, or maybe (as I was planning in this one month) I'll kill Atziri in HC.

There are many reasons people play HC. And you can't get that from standard. People have already explained why you can't just delete your character. It isn't the same, and the ladder isn't the same. Otherwise nobody would care.

And as for this league shit.. since I started playing, there has always been an option for HC temporary leagues. So I have ended up giving away all of my gear to new players or friends on permanent leagues. Aftwr giving away a Kaom's and other very valuable items (and everything I had this league as well), I just can't stand the idea of actually playing in those leagues again.

Maybe that's my fault, but I just assumed there would be other options as there always was. The temp leagues are the only reason I keep playing. I feel like if I don't play for a month, I might not even come back. Even after a couple weeks of not playing recently (I gave away my stuff to my guild and friends after getting the 7th challenge, and decided to wait), I'm losing the PoE fever/addiction.

I've been playing other games, and having fun. I like PoE, and I've spent more on it than any other video game ever, I don't want to stop playing. But sometimes when the ship has sailed, it has sailed. I just hope that isn't the case in a month from now.

Maybe it is a big thing to make a HC and SC version of the league (development or resource wise)? I don't know. If not then it doesn't make sense to me.

Must have been a long time ago because there are actually playing like 3 people in total in this "league"

Wish there was an Hardcore alternative, kinda sad there's no domination too, and also I think the very last 4 days should have every single league type combined.
Oh well, will be forced to play softcore I guess, I just hope I dont get less careful with the experience from it.

No HC option is a disappointment.. expect lvl 100 in a week.
