I think theres going to be more qq about people losing hc characters in D3 due to not being able to TP or quit the game out of a fight. I know enough people that have only saved their characters by doing that

Well of course you can quit. My bad, poor wording!! I mean that you cant instantly quit out of the game like in D2. I think its a 5 second countdown. Similar to WoW when your not in an inn or a town.

And the same counts for townportal.

As far as quitting the game goes, this is good, but for portals? I'm not so sure, exactly what is their logical explanation of you having to wait to step through the portal? Or is it just a 5 sec cast time now? Regardless, portals are at least a legit escape route, and should be quick and easy, whereas leaving the game was just game abuse and stupid

It's a small cast time, about 3 seconds I think. And it's channelled so being attacked will cancel it. I like the change personally. It will lead to a much better kind of HC, without people abusing game mechanics like quitting and TP'ing out of trouble. People will really need to learn to look after themselves, especially in the higher difficulties.

Yeah, the HC changes in D3 are good.
If you're going to play hardcore and then quit the game and TP every time there are more than 2 monsters on the screen, don't play hardcore. It's not the mode for you.

PvP will only be done in arena's so no more PK. Also this delay could be added to prevent certain kinds of cheats.

Pk is part of hc... why does blizzard need to noobify every new game they make?

Because that counts for games in general, bigger audience is more $$$, all that matters these days. That said, having played the beta alot myself it left me craving for more!. I'm sure the game will pan out well eventually, and will keep both the casual and hardcore diablo-fans occupied for a long, long time.

Yeah ok, but softcore/hardcore would have been a nice way to keep both camps happy... too bad blizzard drops the ball again.

To this day every now and then I have nightmares of my sorceress being surrounded by monsters and it won't let me hit the Save and Exit...I don't even die it just teases me with 1% hp. I wake up and just feel relieved even though I don't play anymore lol.

The big difference to me is that you didn't die to the above because you dodged attacks, ran around, used potions, maybe had some resists, tp'd to town, etc. D3 you just stand and blast and get healed for stuff you kill. It's a lot harder to die.

D2 Beta was only upto Bloodraven though if you really want to compare them equally. Either way, discussing difficulty of a game based on 1/3 of the first act, in the easiest of 4 difficulties is just silly.

ahhh god i can't imagine playing this game on hardcore. the pressure.... i never played d2, so i'm not exactly a veteran, but i have played the beta of d3 and it looks extremely fun. if i didn't have respawns, though... *shudders*

Andariel is not the first half... and I don't have D3 beta, so I can't personally compare, but I'd say that you shouldn't die to the others as well if you've got the least bit of carefulness. Maybe the first time or two, but not anymore. I can admit that I've died a couple of times to those, but come on, I was like 4 years old, I'm not sure that's a valid definition
