Eddbopkins.2630 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think this would be a fun way to replay the 7 year old content for me and many others. Once you die that toon is dead forever....there might be a realm u can load into to clear your inventory but thats it. Once it dead it can't pve ever again. This would really keep people together in terms of groups and rolls in that group I feel...it could be allooott of fun. What does the community think of a hardcore mode? It would make every engagement exciting and challenging. Whether it's 2-5 lvl 2 mobs attacking you at once or a Orr vetran if you can make it that far that got it's sites on you. No matter what u don't want to die...would be a lot of fun imo... What does the community think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmetOtter.8542 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I've played games like that and enjoyed them but it's a poor fit for gw2. 1. needs 100% separate modes: hardcore and regular, with no sharing/overlap even in the same account. Otherwise regular mode players can impact the hardcore experience too much. 2. game mechanics designed to 1-shot kill you would need to be removed 3. change the logout so you can't cheat death by quickly logging out 4. Crafting would need to be mode-wide and not just the specific character. Way to big a loss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Why not play the content as it is now and when you die you delete your character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Oh, this thread again. OP: Most of the players do not want it and there are plenty of more pressing priorities right now. If you want to make the game hard there are plenty of ways: permadeath, wear/wield only blues and greens, whatever. Another is to make up challenges, like see if you can get someone of the least possible level to Orr without them dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramex.1506 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 People worried about WoW classic then there these doom threads THEN people want PvP in PvE, and now people say GW2 is too casual! (no s**t sherlock, it has been that way for 7 years) What next? Battle royal? Doki doki? Come on now, don't keep us in suspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually not an unreasonable idea. The first time I played hardcore Diablo was in the original Diablo and it was on the honor system. The game didn't support it but if you died, you were expected to delete your character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don’t see why ANet needs to add something to a game that you can voluntarily do as a challenge to yourself. If you want to your char to die permanently upon character death, set the rules for your char and follow them. Edit: if you know others who would like this also make up a guild and encourage each other in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 If it's not in the game I'm not going to waist my time with made up rules just to play the game. None of your know what a challenge is in a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I’ve been thinking of the OP’s reaction where he says it’s only a challenge if ANet sets the rules >If it's not in the game I'm not going to waist my time with made up rules just to play the game And I think the reason why he’s not interested in setting the rules himself because if ANet sets the rules then there will be ingame rewards for completing the challenge. So it’s not the completing of the challenge but completing the challenge **and then** getting ingame rewards. If there are no rewards then he thinks it’s a waste of his time. If it were otherwise he could challenge himself today by setting the same exact rules and following them until done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I agree with you probabely an achievement that with lets say a title the OP .....Been there done that hardcore ultra 90000... so it can be shown and somehow awe people in their minds. OP you know what would work just aswell youtube, if I see a good player doing something I think well played and go look at something else that interest me.

AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think Anet has more important things to focus on, than practically rebalancing their whole game to suit your very specific needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I played hardcore Diablo was in the original Diablo and it was on the honor system. The game didn't support it but if you died, you were expected to delete your character. I know someone that's done this a few times in GW2. I don't know what rules they set for the obtaining of gear, crafting, and things like that, but I think the overall goals are level 80, then world complete.

neoteo.3975 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 PVE Hardcore mode is easy to design ? Remove the option to restart from checkpoint, no repair armour kits, triple the amount of mobs, give a few more complicated mechanisms to the final boss and add a super rare drop to the final chest.
