Knuckles 904 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'll eventually go HC but I think my 1st character or 2 will be SC. Just to learn the mechanics and how DPS/Skills etc really pan out. Plus Inferno sounds like it'll be extremely difficult to survive in HC. Figure I'll at least get to Inferno before making the switch to all HC. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Was wondering about this as well. I'm kind of an adrenaline nut, and I figger if we go in full bore, its' that much extra time with HC builds... I'm curious how this pans out.... in Sacred series, we all built with lots of con heavy builds... is it possible to do something like this for D3 as well? gogo Link to comment
Spunky 16 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Option 4 for me, some basic understanding of the game and it's mechanics before diving into HC seems like the most reasonable path to me. Link to comment
Chrona 82 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I've to play 1 char in sc to level 10-> then only hc Link to comment
D-molisher 9 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Already did sc in open beta weekend. So HC offcource, cause I only got a monk level 11 in hc. Link to comment
Stormwing 40 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Whenever it is that I'm getting into D3, it will be purely sc, hand down. I know, that even with all possible carefulness around, I'll get most of my chars killed once or twice, and I'd really not like to lose them permanently. Growing certainly too fond of 'em chars... Hc just isn't for my temperament. Link to comment
Shadout 8 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 SC first, probably playing at least 2 chars to inferno before trying out HC. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I was just thinking about HC, all the possibilities for group play... will it be worthwhile for us to start stocking up on good equipment we can keep for new HC players to start into the community with, kind of like we did in Sacred 2 with the group accounts? gogo Link to comment
Immali 2 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Like Chrona said.....one first char to level 10, probably from midnight to 01:00 am Then bedtime. When I wake up.....HC only! Link to comment
Zodiac-Mindwarp 24 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Most likely softcore only, at least for a long while. I tend to either be slow and easy, or else run head first into things that I am not ready for. I seldom find the right spot in between. Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I will start in SC to get the hang of the interface/controls/hotkeys. I also need to check how the lag affects gameplay as that will determine what my character build will have to be. Once that is done it is off to HC forever! Link to comment
Barristan 14 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 HC all the way Seeing some familiar faces here! Link to comment

Rotluchs 82 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 will start with SC, HC later, maybe after finishing SC campaign, or maxing out a char there.. Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 My hopes to be playing HC have been dashed. The latency is way too unpredictable for me to play. It can go from 200ms to 1000ms in a heartbeat. I gave it a go for a couple of days but it wasn't fun. Hopefully they can stabilise the servers or have a patch to improve it. While I've always had a relatively high ping (both Guild Wars and Sacred 2 ran at about 250ms) at least it was constant. When that's the case you can play and build your toon to accommodate it. With it all over the place like it is now it's just impossible. So SC it is. Link to comment
cider_steve 26 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I've started off in sc mode, mostly 'cause I'm a wimp ! When I feel I have the hang of the game, then I'll certainly be moving into hc mode. Link to comment
