(EDIT: The Hardcore server is once again open!)

The Hardcore server will be coming down for a restart and some maintenance at 2:45 PM Eastern time. This is expected to last roughly 1 hour.

Mimics better stay!

Mimics better stay!

This. So much this.

[cdbd3rd]

Okay, they're down now. So what'd y'all forget to turn on/off?

[C-Dog]

Do we get to know what got "fixed"?

Enquiring minds want to KNOW!!!

[Rosze]

The mimics are great. I just hope you can have the vendor to use for the tokens. Not to turn them off just get the items as they could come handy

[rabidfox]

They forgot to toggle on the randomly spawning beholders and mind flayers for Korthos island & beyond. Protect the Cannith Crystal from 15 beholders...

[FURYous]

I would prefer the mimics go or have the ability to turn them off. With lag and all the other perils of hard core, the mimics are unnecessary. Let those that want them have the option to keep them on but let the rest of us turn them off.

Maybe sell something at the mimic vendor on hardcore only to show they killed so many mimics to reward those that want to play with them on.

I see I'm not the only one thinking these thoughts. It's also scary that others out there thinking like I do.

There's been so much lag on the Hardcore server the mimics have been murdering everyone - literally its been a murderfest - and with no extralives - i understand its hardcore, but with the lag and game freezing, then a mimic kills you and that's that it seems like a bush league move not to have a least 1 extra life token as a nod to the reality of your servers and game environment.

Game freezes, rubber banding, pauses, failed spells, warping, monster dots burning you down while you cannot move - this with a 18 ping, and no hops - im literally in MA next to the servers and I lag. I can't imagine how it is for someone playing on the west coast or Europe.

It's a bit iffy in the public areas but within quests I've been fine. So far at least.

Ruh Roh....looks like a Mimic got the server. Time to reroll.

Location really doesn't matter much (well, I'm sure there's some exceptions) because what people refer to as "lag" isn't lag in the traditional sense of poor latency causing issues; we may call it lag but it's generally other hardware/software issues.

I was hoping , oh we messed something up,, that was killing everyone .. free rezzes for every one just this one time

[Cocomajobo]

The Hardcore server is once again open!

[rsking]

The Hardcore server is once again open!

so what was the patch for?

[Cocomajobo]

so what was the patch for?

There was no patch. This was simply a restart and some server maintenance to address overall server performance. We believe the play experience on Hardcore should be a bit smoother now that this work has been completed.

Please stick to the rule of no festivals on HC or bring them all when they are up on live servers. Also, if mimic festival is on, bring the vendor in at the Hall of Heroes. This almost seems like a money grab to go after people who spend it on HCL. Please don't waste what little good will towards the game that left by trolling players on the HCL. Sorry if I seem bitter, I haven't died to any mimics, but Seeing " XXX died to mimic every few seconds isn't cool. Also, going back to the no festivals rule, we should get crystal cove and maybar in the future.

I'm pretty sure it's not a typical event. It's a part of the theme and the mimic event is just being used as the backbone of the theme.

I like it, way more stressful, but after 3rd season three lives easy mode, we get HC hard mode with mimics. but darn are they scaring the beejebus out of me when i forget to be mindful of them an open a chest.
