Question for hardcore (HC) players

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
1

Wanting to play Hardcore Classic, I installed the Hardcore addon, but to my horror I discovered it applied to ALL of my WoW Classic servers.
I play “ordinary” WoW Classic, “ordinary WOTLK Classic” and retail. I don’t want my “ordinary” classics to become hardcore.

Is there any way to remove the addon from selected servers (or at least to switch it off) and to have it only apply to one specific server?
(So that I can continue to play on my “ordinary” Classic servers, and log onto my “HC” server when I want to play hardcore).
Thank you :slight_smile:
PS: The Hardcore addon does not appear in the list of addons on the pre-loading screen, you can’t simply turn it off in that way.

Hey, it doesnt effect your game even if you have it activated. I dont think there is a way to select only specific characters.

My suggestion is that you just diselect the addon from your addons list in game, reload and u should be good

Thanks for your reply Nars.
I don’t want to select specific characters. I wanted to know if I can choose a server on which to play hardcore, and have the addon apply only to that server. And then continue to play “ordinary” classic on my current classic servers.

Regarding the addons list, as I mentioned in my post, the Hardcore addon does not appear in the addons list along with all other addons. So you can’t simply deselect it. (Which is a shame, as that would have been the perfect solution).

Possibly an important point to add:
I discovered this issue when, having installed the addon, I logged on to my “ordinary” classic server to play as normal. But the HC addon window opened up and I couldn’t get rid of it. So I had a choice of either becoming hardcore, or else of logging out of the game. I had to delete the addon to stop this from happening again.

hmm its strange that you cant see the addon on your interface–>addons list. Does it happen with others addons also?

As far as i remember i had the hardcore addon pop up on my ‘ordinary’ server characters but i just diselected it.

Regarding if you can choose a server and have the addon apply only to that server, i dont think its possible

No, it has never happened with any other addons.
Btw, in your first reply you said that “it doesn’t effect your game even if you have it activated”. What do you mean exactly?
Do you mean that even if the hardcore addon is activated on my “ordinary” server (where I have 6 toons), I can just carry on playing normally and ignoring the hardcore rules?
If that IS what you mean, could I then create a character on another server and play hardcore, following the rules?

Yes i mean that you can carry on playing normally even if you break any hardcore rule. This addon is for you and the community to track your progress.

Regarding your last question, yes , you can play hardcore in any server having this addon.

You probably can just toggle it off in the character screens “Addon” menu for the characters you dont intend to use it on.

It will effect your game as it does stop you accessing mailboxs and the AH. However, maybe you can disable it restricting them in the setting? Not sure. Very odd you cannot see it under the Addons tab. I can and disable it regularly when i play Firemaw non HC.

Might be worth reinstalling or perhaps disable all your addons on the main menu and then see if it appears ingame.

There have been several hints suggesting official Hardcore might be on its way. Maybe you can wait for it and don’t bother with an addon.
