This is my most enjoyable HC run so far. I can take all the mats, pools, chests and i kill all the rares. Many rares i am seeing for first time! I have over 200 linen cloth and 130 copper ore so far. 2g at level 12. It’s crazy guys…
Also i try to discover how mob/chest/resources respawn…
It seem that resources and chests are connected somehow with group of 3-5 in some smaller area in the zone.
Also i try to understand the respawn of the mobs. I was killing the Fleshripper on westfall, while i was alone on the entire zone. When i killed 7 of them, another one instantly respawning. I tried it many times, always on more mob respawning.
The same happenned on loch modan with Stonesplinter. When i was killing 8-9 of them, another one instantly respawning.
When HW server was popping off with unofficial HC, it really was good, much more so than official servers. I don’t see much of a community in official compared to HW, it just feels diluted in comparison.
Its fine if people are enjoying official HC, that’s great, but I really feel something is missing. The longevity of official HC will be interesting to see.
Why do you think i will bypass the rules? It’s my glory, i want it clean. Only appeal will be if i truly have a power cut on electricity.
My connection is unstable. I have some 2,3 DCs each week.
Easier how exactly? No dungeons, group quests, elite quests, zero good items. I just bought my first want at level 16 from vendor… On official i had my first wand bought from AH at level 5…
The most important thing is…just do what you have the most fun with.
I will never play unofficial HC just because I can‘t be sure how many have actually cheated or not.
On official I‘m 100% sure the person I‘m running the dungeon with has never died. It really creates a special vibe:)
No crazy hyperspawn, no competition for elites. No layers to mess up.
I made much further on HW when it was not yet HC addon server, than I do on official HC servers.
No it is not. Hardcore addon was compromised by hackers and 0 death literally means nothing in it on none official HC realm. That invalidates trust in your other achievements if you want to proof anyone anything, because they can say you died many times trying to do them, but your hacked addon didn’t recorded it.
I played SoM1 IS in last 1,5 month of those realms being open on a dead Russian realm called Кровавый Зов PvP (Bloodcaller if I remember it’s English name right).
There was always this feeling that some bored lvl 60 Horde would log in, go grind some recources, before transfering them to Era on a mule character. Chance of such hi lvl stumblinh upon me in some 40+ location and kill my character with ease added a sence of risk, danger and unfairness. However I enjoyed that only about 10 Alliance players were playing there, so all quests and recources were available with as little interference from fellow faction members as possible.
But even on SoM realms there was official Iron Soul buff, that you lost upon dying and couldn’t get if your character ever died. BTW those two NPC, giving the IS buff, are on Official HC realms too.
What HW misses is official way to prove you did everything in HC way and this is why majority left it as soon as better way of playing HC was available.
Whne IromMan website gets API to function, he can go on list there and be verified
He jut doing the way of honour, as we all did in beginnig- I am tempted to join him wiht how crowded HC servers are is no fun play there.
3rd party site is still not official. They may get your official data right, but how they output it and if appeals would work on that site is a matter of question. Meanwhile official HC realms have answer right now, if you died there is no appeals for that. Anything less than that is not a HC by default.
No appeals on IMC site, you die, you go to honoured dead-list. Has been up since 2013 or so. So far only Retail as no API for Classic. But now they are accesible. I hope Classic tracker to come as well.
