    Let's talk about upcoming Hardcore mode.

    It's a new beta mode where you create a new agent and they only have one life, when you die you can't respawn. You will have access to the entire game.
    It's a way to cater to the players that just want more difficult content.

    I think it's a great idea. It's going to change the way you play and offer a unique experience that is replayable. You are required to delete a character if you have 4 characters. I do have an issue with that because inventory space is limited. I am required to store my gear on my alternative characters. Especially, when there's a good item being sold with high stat roll, you are pretty much forced to stockpile that item.

    Not sure if the NPCs scaling is going to be different or the HUD will be limited.
    I am excited about it. I like a challenge.

    Hardcore mode will be available on Tuesday, Dec 10th.

    Hardcore Mode "BETA"

    New Character (must have an available character slot to select)

    No access to your stash (will have access to vanity items)

    PERMA DEATH

    All game modes will be playable in Hardcore Mode (DZ, LZ, Raid). Servers will only allow for other Hardcore Players access.

    Rewards - anything earned in this mode will not be transferable to other characters and will be lost on death.

    The concept sounds really good. The execution I'll wait and see before commenting on.

    Making us use up a 4th character slot though....no good. If we need to use one of the slots just for hardcore mode they need to expand the stash another 200 spots to accommodate the storage space that character provided. (100 gear/weapons and 100 mods since they take up the same space in stash)

    I like the idea, I'm afraid I won't like the execution.

    It's the exact same game, but with permanent death. I'm a bit pessimistic about it, but I'll definitely give it a try.

    I swear if I can't turn off the tutorials.......

    I wish they weren't rushing it the door. They specifically said it's a beta iteration so there will be issues with it. A game-breaking bug could ruin the experience for everyone. You are right. We have to see the execution of it

    I can see a lot of griefing.
    I am excited to see how this plays out though,

    That means you've beaten the raid at least one time in hardcore mode....

    Or took it from someone who did.

    Will that character lose all gears/loot on death?

    Haha! I don't know how that will actually work. I do know the dead guy gets a wipe. As for picking up the dead guys loot, I'm not sure.

    As long as you don't invest too much time in your hardcore character it should be fun and we all keep our mains.

    Sound very cool. The only issue I foresee is the cheaters who can’t be killed will take advantage of this and kill players who play the game it was suppose to be played and get killed by these players who cheat. They will be pissed for all the work they have poured in just to be killed by cheaters. We all know cheaters really don’t get banned or Ubisoft doesn’t monitor it as close as they should be. I see so many cheaters daily but nothing is ever done
