So here we are... for the first time ever, an HC crew prepared to pit hopes, courage, and half a billion hard earned xp against Asmodeus himself!
We will need a bard and large, solid party to walk away from this one with a win.

Wish I could be there too, but I cant risk loosing my only -HC- toon before I can farm some more stuff. I wish you all happy hunting, and prey Asmo will take a dive nice and easy. Is it too much to hope for a walk over ?

Indeed, it will not be a walk-over, Hercules. Spawns galore, slag, blood fever, silence, ichors, worms... An old-school, no holds barred, street fighting, eye gouging, ear off-biting (thanks for your dubious innovation Mike Tyson ), hardcore, mutual bloodbath is my expectation. And while every HC on this quest is fully prepared to die for their cause, our united, steadfast resolve is instead to see Asmodeus die for his!

Thank you for your kind words of support Rajah, paragon level are indeed a big power bump. But, I can't remember how many HC toons you've managed to have survive into paragon levels, or deep hells... or immo for that matter? Surely it can't be "ZERO", or you would not risk coming across as incredibly disingenuous and petty by posting your "it's so easy" comment here?

oh cmon you're toying with paragon toons in a lvl 60 area w/o paragon enemies, just gather enough people and have fun Oops I've limo'ed I'll just SoS-Arport back.................oh bugger no I won't. Add into this the fact that pretty much all the level 80 non-HC characters are multiple demi/prince win iterations with access to all the uber gear that gives and I don't think you can really compare them.

Or use miracle from one of the GS cleric bots, or simply log out after rez if the things look too scary. Considering how many exploits and cheats the HC community has shared, such bragging rights hold no value. You guys are definitely overstimating yourself.

Considering how many exploits and cheats the HC community has shared, such bragging rights hold no value. You guys are definitely overstimating yourself. Cleric Bot... exploit? Listen to yourself Rajah. We use bots for one reason: Not enough players are willing to risk everything on tough HC runs. People just like you. I will remind you of your well documented, trolling thoughts on this e.g.: Aug 15, 2013 at 5:28pm, The Rajah wrote:
"It's been, what 5 years? and HC players usually solo farm LL no-fugue areas in order to reach 80 on toons that never visit hells past min (record party got it to malad maybe once? at the start of HC gaming when bragging rights weren't polluted by bad gaming)"Now your new problem is that we play exclusively in limbo areas, and bulk up our regular deep hell runs to parties of 7 or 9 toons by bringing a bot or 2... really? To suggest that a bot is better that a normal player is just stupid, and embarrassing for you Rajah. You are not that dumb. We would kill to roll with a full crew. Thanks to new support from some outstanding, unselfish players, our no-bard Cania was the closest yet to a full party, allowing us to earn the win in under 2.5 hours. Even then, our lone tank (porticusa's pure st/uni ranger) was hard pressed one-on-one against Meph. Taking his lumps for 5 minutes, he used a well timed immute to rebuff after getting dropped twice, then stood in there till the end. He fell again in the fleeting, bitter cold seconds between his 2 expiring timers, just before Meph was finally brought down. 3 seconds from missing the tag, and 8 seconds from deletion oblivion, miracle, indeed, tipped the balance in our favor in that final crucial moment. Easy? Exploit? Have you ever even though about what HC means Rajah? If you ever, fugue, or limbo, your character, tags, gear, bank chests... everything is deleted from the server forever. Bad roll, bad play, bad spawn, bad lag, bad luck... no matter, no excuses, no appeal, ever. The higher the level toon, the more is at risk. You know all that nicely randomized BUR gear that took you years to find and tweak? You know, the stuff that made us change the single limbo "permanently lost" item to a 50 or 100 million gold penalty, because it's loss was now too tough to stomach. Delete it, delete them all, delete the character "and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss". That's hardcore Rajah! www.kipling.org.uk/poems_if.htm

The two sentences were not connected.
I was just pointing out that's basically impossible to lose a toon or even wipe if you keep a eye on timers and have a gs bot (heck or a real cleric who doesn't die) parked somewhere, add to that the ability to log out and it means that losing a toon should only happen due to mass crash.
So calm down and brag lil less because the gaming level of most of HC people is incredibly sad, proof is the fight you're trying to make it sound heroic while it seems a huge unneeded mess.

And there was I thinking this was the section for party scheduling, maybe there should be a section entitled making yourself appear to be an arrogant arse somewhere, I think it would get quite busy.

As far as I recall, Raj was the VERY FIRST person on the server to reach 40 with a -HC- toon, solo, needless to say. I had the honor to be with him in the very first -HC- xul-lolz-immo run as well. Not to mention one of the first sissy and thids, without having a bot or higher gear. So much for Raj not having tried -HC-. But anyways, GL guys
