onslaught was a fucking joke it was basicly the fleet mapmod on all areas uhhhh so scary
nemesis is it so fucking hard to read a rare before you attack it ?
invader + onslaught might be tricky just temhain on cast on dmg taken and its basicly invasion

you know turbo mode brutus is much scarier than an onlsaught brutus ?

LTP please; got 7 challenges on other acc, did all those leagues leveling up to 90+

"Onslaught, Nemesis and Invasion" => it's logical GGG made this choice.

Wow, seems like I missed quite the little blowup.

I'm curious to know why GGG decided on SC this time around. Happy about it, really. I can understand why HC players are upset but damn, chill the hell out already. Almost all races are HC only, consider this to be SC's turn.

The antagonizing 'Standard versus Hardcore' posts need to stop. Accounts may be probated if they continue with comments of this nature.

Edit: Users are free to say what they like or don't like about the league if they wish; but saying one group of players is better or worse than others is not okay.

Quoting GGG here seems to get noticed, but why are you guys making the most difficult league yet - a combination of everything past to come, be it softcore or hardcore themes, a softcore league.

Chris said himself that invasion was made the way it was to kill the players, hardcore doesn't just mean you become standard when you die (although thats an incredible catch 22 for softcore players) it means that your taking GGG on there challenge.



Now we have a league that'll have some days of turbo invasion/nemesis/ambush. That sounds really quite deadly, what I notice though is that there is no "ambush/onslaught/nemesis" period. That would be the most deadly combination possible.


Well, nerfed invaders with onslaught will still be a joke compared to 3 rare mobs with nemesis mods popping on your face. (Who didn't face invaders with onslaught during the boxes race anyway?)

I think the organization of this league was a bit poorly thought out - but were midst 4month development so thats expected.

If they were going for difficulty and flat out killing players they would have made an onslaught/ambush/nemesis triplet


I'm really just bumbed theres no reason for me to play. I mess around on softcore with my buddys every so often but my bread and butter and currency are on hardcore. Cross league trading, as GGG says themselves is unsafe.

Hopefully the mass of whines gave GGG the motivation to hotfix this league to having both a hardcore and softcore aspect. Us hardcore players definitly don't think this is going to be "to hard". But deleting a character when it dies doesn't get what we have in the stash to goto the permanent league either.


And given that it's a race, and with the different set of mods, it'd create some new meta for a HC race. I don't mean leveling up either, but actually changing your build based on your environment. But theres really no need to do such a thing in a softcore race, just stack dps till you get 10% xp before you die rite ;)?


I guess I'll be on d2 for another month, always looking for mates to play d2 with to :]


P.S. Would you guys in favor of this league being softcore only be ok with it being a void league?

I think what was overlooked is that making such a league with all previous HC leagues combined and making it SC completely alienates your HC community from the event.

I think the last SC character I created was somewhere in mid Anarchy and didn't last long before I made the permanent switch to HC.

I don't play SC leagues and have no interest in ever doing so again.

Upset that a league I'm very interested, that came about only because of past HC leagues, will only be a SC league.

"Onslaught + Nemesis + Invasion" the last 4 days will be sick, but at least ppl wont lose all :D

who cares if its not hardcore majority of hc players have a hotkey to instant logout so whats the difference

We choose to play hardcore and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard!

yes, people used to play hardcore will have advantage, especially in last days

on the other hand seems there is not a special price for the top 500 players or so, i regret it, i think there should be a little reward for to 500 or why not top 1000.

Would it be possible to increase the death penalty? Like randomly lose an equipped item or something? I understand where the HC players are coming from; you play the game with a different mentality when death is permanent. Maybe a happy medium can be reached!?!?!?!?

I hope nobody yells at me.... Haha
