Things I Feel Could Improve Hardcore Mode

1-Fix Cannith challenge and Eveningstar Challenge Access so you can still run them after level 20

2-Allow reincarnated toons to start at level 15 if they reincarnate as an Iconic Hero

3) Fix the bugs that let players kill other players in the Harbor for kicks.

What bugs allow for that?

Search the forums for the Stay Frosty bug... for example.


I think hardcore would be greatly improved by changing the text about a certain lvl 3 Hireling to say "Casts Grease like a madman...."

Not sure if a bug because it technically works as intended but when someone dies in reaper then others can't enter. The death teleports them out and counts as someone leaving the dungeon locking others out. It was meant to prevent reentry but in hardcore you can't reenter after death anyways.
There is room for abuse such that it may allow reentry if not done properly but if it could be fixed for deaths only it would be nice.

Agree with this one... its a pain... for the 3 items that i want fully upgraded for lvl 7 - 11 - 15 need to farm 7600 Illuminated Manuscripts before i can take lvl 13... T.T

Edit: and this is only 1 of the mats that i need... add the other 3 challenges with min lvl 8 :C

Edit: ok. just read another thread about this.. isnt exactly +4 lvl in here... but still cant run them in the lvl range that they are. Im lvl 12 atm and cant go in Circle of Power.

I've enjoyed HC more than I thought I would. Having gotten 1750 and level 20, here's my improvements I'd like to see:
- No hirelings
- No OP summons like shield guardian, panthers, scarecrows, etc.
- Only allow dungeons 2 levels below your level.

It seems like it's more a contest of how effective you are using hirelings during the first 10 levels and how many summoned "distractions" you have during upper levels.

It seems like the Inquisitive tree is overpowered. It's a super-package store option, it seems like it's a crutch for many successful Hardcore players.

Also, there will likely be a plethora of metrics you can gather from this event to adjust future game-balance:
- the ways people die
- the quests they die in most and least
- the enhancements players are using most and least
- the classes played most/least (can you say bard)
- which classes stayed pure with no splits
- the most common classes and splits
