Any mad lads going Hardcore on his first playthrough?

Any super duper mad crazy people here and going HC first? Especially PoE 2 will be super hard compared to poe1 from level 1 to maxest end game. Risk will be insanely high, you'll be dying a lot and won't be progressing with other people. But still, I believe there will be many of you, show yourself.

Yeah ofc, nothing better than experience blind a campaign. It worth it even if you die 45 times. That experience, you wont be able to have it later. Did it in PoE1 and Diablo 3 before, no regrets.

I'm superolder now, and less reflexes and sight, but still willlove it.

[ChuTheMan]

in EA? no.

Don't wanna lose HC just because of some EA bugs, rather wait for release and lose my HC because of skill issue/me being bad at the game.

If it works like in Poe1 , you die in hc your character transfers to standard , in EA there's only 1 realm, only downside is your stash will be in hc

[Psychosis]

Yes probably

[EvilHare]

Since the EA characters will be in their own bubble of reality, why not? But to each their own.

I considered it after realizing EA characters situation after official launch. I might use an alt to enjoy HC. We got at least 6 months.

Just do you and do it good.

HC FTW

The dopamine hit is far better :D

[The88shrimp]

Apparently you don't lose your character when you die on HC, it just demotes to SC so I might as well try HC and see how far I get.

[Rogue]

It's great, since your characters don't really matter once actual f2p launch happens which is a long time away (6+ months). Die away.

HCSSF ftw.

They've mentioned that End-game content isn't really balanced yet and you may experience one-shots.

I mean, all should start on hardcore man! Because if you die it does not mean you loss your character it just means you will be transmited into softcore. At least that how poe works.
