Good to see that I am not the only one complaining about a SC only league. For real, I started to play this game when invasion started and I never wanted to play any other league because the HC-Invasion-Mod was just too amazing!
Was looking forward to a decent 1month HC league so badly and now we have to wait… Come on GGG, that is kind of unfair… why don't you care about your HC Players? And if there is no 1 month HC league please do at least another 2 week or something like that1!
I think a lot of people will quit the game for a while and I am sure a lot of them will not come back! To bad :(
QFT.
HC players have had nothing to do since the 2week and now we have to wait another 6 weeks!!!
what was wrong with finishing the 4 month?
by that logic the softcore players have had nothing to do for longer...
Forgot to mention that I played Invasion until it ended...

No point in playing the game if it's not HC. The thing that makes PoE stand out for me is the challenge that comes with the game. If it's just an SC league it turns into whoever can play for the longest regardless of skill or any theory crafting; it takes the fun right out of the game. Personally, I will still play, but the game won't be very challenging.
What the hell is with you people? You can do HC races and the HC league. Why do you need this particular 1 month league to be HC as well? if it was HC and people wanted it to be SC you would complain about them wanting it so.
Just deal with it, its SC this time around. I think its great because HC players will play the HC league as those are the more empty ones anyways and this league will scatter the SC players between the perma and the 1 month leagues.
I voice my opinions without insulting anyone and you jump on me and get offended. [Removed by Support]

You would think the hardcore players would enjoy a break after the rape fest that was invasion. Or maybe it's just the people who quit a week in that are complaining. Either way who really cares I play mostly standard and I always play the hardcore leagues because its something different, What's so bad about a sc league? It is something different where you can relax for a month and take it easy before the next 4 month.

Anyway i think this marks a turning point in GGG's philosophy. They obviously don't care very much about HC anymore. It's just a shame because they prided themselves in making a hardcore game for hardcore gamers back in beta. I'm afraid we'll never see a good HC league ever again. I just wish they'd at least explain themselves rather than turn their backs on the most dedicated portion of their playerbase.
I completely agree with you. I also thought that "Hardcore" was supposed to be part of PoE's brand. Personally, I don't see why people are directing their disappointment toward each other. Just play the game if you want to, and don't if you don't.

thank god it's not split into 2 different difficulties. With Hardcore gone this 1 time it'll give a lot of players more elbow room to theory craft and perfect their planned build for the next big leagues.

Oh come on man, to say they don't care is just mean. Give them a break.. They run races constantly and they also do builds of the week. They do a lot and at the same time constantly update the game on a weekly to monthly basis. I'm sure they are planning an awesome 4 month league after this 1 month. Pass judgement then.

losing 10% of your exp per death is pretty brutal.
not dying is how you do the best in softcore as well as in hardcore (and people will die a lot, especially those that play more softcore than hardcore)
when I play hardcore, I build to the (incredibly boring) meta and stack all the defense and grind it out.
it's tense, it's a challenge but it's all very samey. If there were more risk reward mechanics or more of a reason to build around damage rather than survivability, hardcore would be more fun (but there is an impossible balance to reach here)
softcore, I pick a concept that sounds cool and try to make it work. I'll die a lot and sometimes you get stuck with sweet fa to show for it... but it's worth it to get a fire nova witch
trying to make elemental hit wasn't worth it though :(
Thank you for giving me a clear viewpoint with which I can sympathize. I see what you're saying, and it makes a lot of sense. I think this league should be seen as a fun league to pass the time. The challenge will come from the constantly changing game which we will have to adapt our characters to. Even though it will not be as challenging as having to start all over from scratch, I think HC players could still have tons of fun if we just have an open mind :)

yo seriously disappointed by this sc league.
sc hack n slash is pointless and require less skill and involvment.

Make a softcore 1m league:
anarchy - dominion - ambush
Make a hardcore 1m league:
onslaught - nemesis - invasion
good luck have fun
