Official Hardcore Servers – What Do People Think?

I’m in the middle okay so right before I start the stream today uh well if you if you didn’t really catch it yesterday official hardcore Realms were announced and they’re coming out sometime this summer we don’t exactly know when but based on this there’s a lot of comments on Reddit

About this that I want to take a look at today before we start the stream so I’m just going to be like showing you guys the comments as well looking through the comments and taking a look at what’s happening on the hardcore scene talking a little bit about more about the

Service themselves the announcement and seeing what people think about it really because let’s be real people have a lot of comments when it comes to what are the official Hardware servers should it be like and rightfully so people are worried that it’s going to be a mess due

To grieving some people won’t have want to have less rules some people are happy some people are not either way and let’s check it out boys let’s just get right into it let’s cut over to your right here and we can bring this up onto the screen

So here we go official hardcore Realms coming in this summary officially announced that the conclusion of hcas season 1 that is the Hardcore All-Stars tournament event by the way it was broadcasted there where I went from the blizzard team or the classic wow team came on and announced both a season of

Mastery 2 well it’s going to be around the new season he talked about that at the end and also announced official hardcore service coming to Classic era so these are going to be like new server types coming to Classic era he said classic era in the announcement so it’s

Basically going to be a brand new server type and because it’s a brand new server type you can probably not transfer there so you have to start over it it’s a fresh classic wow experience with only one life and they also said on that stream and in the announcement that they

Didn’t really want to impose too many rules on these surveys because the current challenge we’re doing is a Community Driven challenge where basically imposing rules on ourselves and make it more challenging which we can still do on those surveys and we can also have many more challenging coming

With the same premise often just having one life so so far it’s looking like it’s only going to be one life and the one more new feature like for example right here a very good recap Once you die your character is not deleted instantly to pass give leadership

Message other people but you cannot come back to life basically in death equals a ghost but it can stay as a ghost there’s also going to be a brand new feature called duel to the death and basically a Mac Gora you can you will someone to the

Death exactly how that’s going to work what is going to be a duel to the death but is there going to be any achievements titles a stackable buff like imagine if you win something if you win a duel you get a buff so it shows

You that you won one duel just to have like a bragging rights that could be kind of cool so with that said let’s see what people have to say about this They need to make survey wide announcement to the evils of the death in my opinion I agree uh but maybe not super wide announcement because imagine all the level ones that are going to deal but if you have a buff or some way to show people how many you have done

But how many you won that should be cool but server-wide announcements could be a little bit much especially they could have several wide announcement but have an option to turn it off or like set a minimum level requirement because it can be really annoying after a while slash macular it’s super cool

Though it’s a very good concept I can’t really see too many level 60s doing this but I can see something happening like the hardcore worldstars tournament where we have the weekends for your leveling to level 10 you have a outer Capital You Can level for two or four hours and get

Some gear at level 10 and then there’s a massive like fight to the death at the end where the Winner Takes the whole prize pool so it’s going to be like a PVP tournament driven by the community maybe even drivable driven by blister but definitely player and Community Driven

Communities and light tournaments based on this one thing I’m totally okay with no Iron Man rules if everyone still only has one death or yeah one life for as much as I would hate to see dungeon boosting it’s still not a 100 method hundred percent safe

Method for the boosters or the boosted I mean yeah like in boosting and hardcore it will be a more risky more reward as well but I’m also kind of guessing they’re going to be implementing so much changes when it comes to boosting like the hiding season of Mastery give us a

Season of Master changes on the hardcore service I think that could be a thing they’re doing but again PTR is starting very soon exactly what we want is announced and this subreddit price like a bunch of babies perfectly fine playing HC with the community multiple years blizzard adds official support and now

Everyone whines I mean I I don’t know I think like people are being very systems people are being very open to this the Only Rule being death equals delete is the best iteration of the mode has so many upwards I’m so happy that people are seeing that aspect because I feel

Like there’s some people who want to have the rules that we currently have but it’s the very vocal minority and they’re very vocal about it but it’s the vocal minority Lots of people here seem to have no idea what hardcore means as a baseline in 99.2 blah blah blah games for decades now based on Hardcore has meant if that if you die you cannot play the character again in its original state and that’s it this add-on has worked the meaning of

Hardcore for a lot of people to a ssf for solo self found basically limited trading and grouping has always been an extra option for the complete vast majority of games with hardcore since hardcore has been a thing exactly what we’re doing right now is not really

Hardcore it’s a solo self found which is a whole different challenge it’s just we’re calling it hardcore which is warping people’s thinking of what hardcore actually is if you just go to any other games where hardcore is a thing it always like it’s based on being

Social and it wow is a social game and even like when they announced hardcore noun they said they wanted to focus on the social aspect so the rules aren’t going to be there they even said that the Only Rule they want to impose is death equals ghost

Am I the only one thinking permanent death is the only necessary rule for hardcore once again so many upwards it’s so cool to see that people are understanding that concept things he said in the announcement no appeals one life and that’s it you can still run around as he goes after your

Dead service coming late this summer likely no Iron Man rules probably not going to be any rules for Iron Man but we can still use the add-on right the evil to the death feature coming to kill other players some to announce too that’s coming later this year uh yeah

Personally I’m a bit disappointed at the lack of Auction House mail but it’s better than nothing it’s a lot better than nothing and I feel like if they implemented to be many restrictions it would really narrow down if you would play on those service by making it as

Open as possible more people will be willing to give it a chance and sure it will make the challenge itself easier but it will make the game more social it will be less about the achievement of getting to level 60 and more about having fun I feel like classic wow is

Always should be about having fun and people have fun in different ways later this summer you think they would hop on this before the hype is completely dead I think for the seasonal server um the hype is going to keep ramping up for seasonal service the only thing that could die down a

Little bit is like fresh classic wow but even that like when they announced it it’s going to be really popping the only thing they need to do now is Hardcore which they’re doing they’re playing it perfectly if they had came out with fresh classic wow and see overseas not

Mastery at the same time as hardcore effectively what they would be doing is splitting their player base right by announcing one thing at a time the people that maybe it wouldn’t even give a hardcore a try will now give a hardcore a try and maybe they will have

Fun playing it who knows right they also announced a song too which is better news better news for little people I mean yeah but it’s later this year it is later this year and here’s the thing he didn’t even say that some two is launching later this year

He said they will have a more info later this year but personally I’m guessing season 2 will be launching in November because the first season launched in November I think so in November launch seems plausible but also he said they are talking more about it later this

Year so we have no idea season 2 could be coming out early next year too but I’m guessing in November for the next season this is exactly what I have wanted I always felt put off from the add-on restricting players from grouping and interacting together I understand its

Purpose is to cut out getting outside hardcore influence but if everyone on the server is Hardcore then yeah that feels like a more lively World exactly I feel like one of the major reasons why we currently have the solar cell found and even like if you go back and ask the

People who made the add-on and made the challenge or made the challenge even they say like many of the rules you currently have were put in place because we’re playing on a classic error survey where people have literal knocks around us a year it’s a completed again we’re

Playing on the last phase of classic wow and it’s to restrict people that are doing hardcore to get like help from people that are level 16 maxed out Master almost a year it’s more like we’re playing it fresh we’re playing it fresh no help from other people who have

Completed the game no gold handouts no like twink item handouts no molten core boosting from people that do a billion DPS right it’s more like we’re playing it fresh without any help from those people but now on an actual hardcore survey first of all it will be a fresh hardcore

Server right so everyone will be starting at the same line and everyone will be hardcore so you know if you get help from someone that person is also hardcore if you trade with someone who he’s also hardcore there’s no like unfairness everyone is hardcore the fresh one

I I kind of wish their hand actually came out with a fresh classic wow at some point instead of just talking about the next season and the hardcore I feel like there is pretty a very like big audience right now for a fresh classic wow without any changes whatsoever just

Like an actual fresh launch for classic ones I’m kind of a little bit disappointed they didn’t talk about fresh at all all they talked about is like the hardcore surveys and the season two but I mean at the same time how many things do you need at once like how many

Announcements do you want at the same time right I’m kind of happy we got both and to be honest all I was asking for are the hardcore service so I’m happy either way man I’m happy either way and I guess that’s pretty much about it for the Reddit and the reactor just

Checking what people had to say but like basing this on the comments and the upwards people are more interested than I thought when it came to like the rules so like people are enjoying the fact that there’s less restrictions because it makes the service more open right

It just seems much better overall for the game and focusing Less on the challenge of getting to level 60 and focusing more on the social element because at the end of the day classic wow is a very social game all the infrastructures of classic wow is built

On being social if you have enchanting you need blacksmithing rods to make your enchanting rods right so there’s a lot of interactions between professions trading grouping all of those things you have groups in your you have quests in the open world that pretty much requires

You to be in a group and they are very difficult to solo but I guess that’s pretty much what I wanted to check out today and just how people are reacting to the announcement so we can get some actual confirmation of what people think so let me know your

Thoughts in the comments down below what you have liked to see official hardcore service with the current solo self found rules or are you happy with what we got announced let me know in the comments down below and as always big thumbs big thumbs
