Title says it all. For the love of HC, do NOT make SSF a toggle on existing HC servers.
noone wants to mix AH’ers and gold buyers with SSF players
3 HC servers is too much. Merge the 2 existing and add fresh SSF server
Death = free that character name
Once a day dungeoun lockout pr dungeoun
That is all thats needed. Is it really so that Blizzard are affraid of an AH free server, as it reduces attractiveness for bots and thus less montly subs for Blizz?
Additional nice to haves to help secure longevity of HC;
Summoning stones working
Options for increased xp like 200% faster rested xp
No. That is part of the challenge. It is not needed for HC longevity, if someone stops playing because they have to travel to a dungeon then it is only a matter of time before they get someone killed with their rush mentality so another version of WoW is probably a better fit.
I could get behind an exp boost(200% would be too much though), but only if you already have reached level 60 with a character, the exp boost would be to lessen the impact of losing your lvl 60 and would encourage more people to attempt raiding if they knew that lvling another character would take a lot less time. That would indeed help the longevity of HC, especially at higher lvls.
I thought SSF stood for Solo Self Fund, in which case it does not matter if it is mixed, the economy does not affect them in any way so I don’t really see the problem here. Care to elaborate?
The bonus EXP should only happen for characters on a class you have previously leveled I think. So if you have a 60 druid then leveling another is quicker as a “backup”. If you level one 60 and then get the boost for all it will just help kill the leveling environment for anybody new (or slow).
