Reacting to the worst ****ups in WoW Classic Hardcore

Only classic wow awards you with an item (arena grandmaster) that increases a stat by 1% and considers that useful.

Yep, 17 years of wow definitely does that

[@JrClips27]

Playing 15+ years will do that.

[@Telopead]

That because these are scenarios that all veteran wow players gone thru. We’ve all died to dumb shits like these before, or can at least relate to past experiences. I don’t play wow anymore, but I don’t know if I can make it to 60 with HC. And I’m quite positive asmon can’t either. Because this classic leveling experience can be so mind numbing after a while, there’s no guarantee what kind of stupid shit your mind will make you do. Especially for people entering middle age who starting to have problem focusing for extended periods of time.

[@ramencakes5196]

Guzu does it as well

[@jreiland07]

There's an old test taking strategy I remember from high school for matching sections - when it comes down to two blanks left and you're absolutely sure of everything else, put the same answer for both so you guarantee yourself at least one point instead of risking getting both wrong. I feel like the same thing sort of applies to trying to run between two mobs - just run entirely toward one instead of risking aggroing both. At least that's what I've always done.

Actaully people running in dungeons and raids and stuff reminds me of like military tactics like when one person starts to panic and run, entire armies would as well and it can turn from a fighiting force into a rout in an instant. thats why cowardice was so bad because you could lose a battle because 1 person lost it and ran

As a years long player of Realm of the Mad God, an MMO with perma-death built in, Asmon is right, these people should have been prepared, every encounter should be taken seriously as even a small slip up can mean hundreds of hours lost. And if you go into a dungeon without the proper gear, that's 100% on you.

Complacency might be the biggest killer in hardcore classic wow, but I'm starting to suspect that using Questie is at least 2nd place. SO many clips where someone's doing a quest with that addon that is a quest they should 100% not be doing at their level/gear/consumes/etc.

The explanation for these mistakes is that WoW players in general tend to look for shortcuts and ways to make content quicker or easier, and this sort of thing is detrimental to doing a hardcore run. Jumping off a cliff as a shortcut or pulling too many mobs or running a dungeon is tempting because it may get them to their goal a lot faster, but it might also end in ruin. It's the same reason people tend to like to invest in risky stocks and drive far above the speed limit, but the fact that there is little punishment for that behavior in normal WoW runs means that the WoW player is far less likely to be able to resist the temptation. It requires a lot of self control that not everyone has.

You can Life Tap yourself to death. Its tricky to do, but totally doable. If you regen the exact amount of health for a Life Tap, after depleting from Life Taps( or from whatever brings your health low), it will kill you. Ive only done it twice after many times trying over the years.
