Guesses about Season 9

[Dom]

Lol Mortal Voyage permadeath is a challenge, hardcore is a snoozefest for challenge and is purely just about execution.

The Hound was the only somewhat challenging season and put a stop to multiboxers. As a matter of fact i remember once during that season watching the same multiboxer loose 4 of his toons level 18 consecutively(they all had the same name with a different number). I died laughing!!

All hardcore is, is money into the system and i think most would agree, if it wasnt this you could make it harder.

You could not have ship buffs
You could not have house p/j buffs
You could not have store bought items like augments/xp pots/beholder absorption items
You could have no hirelings allowed
You could have no chest rerolls
You could block all reentry into quests so that teleport and word of recall would come at a cost
And if you dont want it to be a farm(limit gear farming) as you suggested in response to my post allow each chest to be looted only once a week

My experience with hardcore is unless you are pushing to be in the top end of the leaderboards hardcore is pretty simple.

You are correct, Hardcore is a meme. So since you find it so easy, why would you care if there is three lives or not? It doesn't need any more help being a snooze fest lol.

Hope it does actually, this hardcore will be my first hardcore where the sole reason i will be playing at all is to take advantage of the first time ddo points per server for favor, so want to playat as fast a rate as possible at a higher risk level because of that speed to farm that favor as quick as possible, skipping any lengthy favor per minute quests.

Spending nothing as usual and earning quick DDO Points

In response Dom, i think this covers my answer to your question. But to expand running at high speed pushing alerts to get completions fast is a higher risk and since its all about speed to earn quick FIRST TIME SERVER DDO POINTS. i personally will be fine with the 3 lives because this hardcore i wont be caring about challenge or leaderboard or rewards. 1 and done and out, logging in sporadically to do it.

My response was obviously a response to the OP, but I see your point of view as to why you want it to be a challenge and i also posted in this thread some great ways to increase the challenge.
