Diablo 3 players who take on the game’s Hardcore mode, where they have only one life, will be taken care of by Blizzard, as the studio has confessed that some of the first hotfixes for the game, which eliminated some powerful abilities, took a lot of Hardcore players by surprise.
Diablo 3 offers not just a regular mode but also a Hardcore one, where players have a single life. Once their character is killed, they cannot continue and lose it, together with its items, forever.
Blizzard has now posted some thoughts on the Hardcore mode and revealed that it was going to take care of players with future updates and make sure that hotfixes wouldn’t have the same major impact.
“We take into account Hardcore for every design decision,” Blizzard’s Wyatt Cheng said.
“I'll take this opportunity to mention I feel particularly bad about a few hotfixes that went in shortly after release that put the lives of some Hardcore characters at risk. You'll have noticed that after the initial handful of hotfix changes to skills in the first week there were many less skill changes - hardcore was part of the reason for the general stop/slow on skill changes.”
Communication will be key, according to Cheng, who confirmed that all future changes would be relayed to players in advance.
“In hindsight, changes such as the Wizard Armor Force Armor hotfix should have been communicated in advance, and philosophically I absolutely want to see future changes that could put a Hardcore character at risk communicated well in advance through patch notes, patch previews, or the hotfix blog that has since been put in place,” he added.
The next major patch for the game, update 1.0.3, will deliver quite a few changes that have already been detailed by Blizzard.
