Playing your way back to HARDCORE league.

I don't know if this is considered a bug or an exploit but there is a way to get back into hardcore league after you've died and gone over to default. When on the character creation screen there is a button labelled 'create'. Clicking that and then setting the drop down box to 'hardcore' puts you right back into HC league. Do it now before they patch it out.

Starting over with a new HC character is not what this thread is about.

Since playing PoE is all about experimenting with the character builds, if you or I come up with a "better mouse trap" and create a powerful character that works great at high levels, should we be penalized for our efforts? Of couse not!

Well, there's your problem right there. You have positioned these events as "penalties" which is naturally upsetting - to be able to move beyond it without trying to break the other systems in the game the best approach (for your own sanity) is to consider random desync/lag as yet more RNG.

Thus if we die in HC due to "circumstances beyond our control", should we not be given the chance to overcome that "fate of god", "bad luck", or whatever you want to call it, in the effort to make playing PoE more balanced and hopefully more enjoyable?

No - just as we don't get to 'play around' with the RNG for rolling a 6L to suit what we need, we shouldn't be able to 'roll back' a death. Just stay in SC if you want that option - there's no shame in that.

I don't believe this will every happen and rightfully so. I also don't think death should move you into default league. I think that is a bigger problem on the economy in the default league than botters. If you allow the reverse to happen, then the botters can farm in default and transfer to hardcore. No thanks. I truly believe the economies and characters should be 100% isolated from each other, no exceptions. Otherwise as stated before, why even bother having 2 separate leagues if you can always go from one to the other(even if its only once, it doesnt diminish the severe negative aspects of this feature)

I guess my post is misunderstood. I an definitely not advocating the ability to move back and forth between leagues as a standard feature. That would ruin HC and make no sence at all. The certral point of my post revolves around desync type deaths that you have no defence for, and can't tell has occurred until you get the dreaded "resurrect" button. Since this is a one and only one time chance to get back to HC, and would only be available after playing in DL without any death for an amount of time required to gain enough experience points, then this would not be a way to jump back and forth between the 2 leagues easily or quickly. We would never want that.

As far as I know there are no botting tools that work for PoE, which is as it should be. The closest thing to cheating I've seen is the muti-boxing debate.

At least there are no lame posts saying the default league is for losers and other derogatory crap.

Hardcore should have 5 lives at least not 1 .... or 1 and others to paid with real money !!!! i would give suggestion to make HC ressurection stones new items in item mall allowed players for chance because all loose sense why i play and also bosses some of them kill on 1 hit its really not fair !!!!!! i build character with 500 shield 700 hp ... admins at least fix bosses dmg if not change hardcore rules....
