Currently playing Hardcore in act 3 , and it's quite difficult sometimes but it's doable, I have no idea how I managed to slide from Tactical to Action and finally to hardcore in game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I am playing the game for the first time and i am playing hardcore too.
I am also in act 3.
I agree with Yannos some monsters are difficult to kill but it is possible.
I don't use the pause button but i use potions.
I kill all the monsters to get XP and i make a lot of savegames.
I did not visit the battlefields for the moment, i keep them for the end of the game.
I did not have difficulty to kill Kiya because i was stronger than her. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
I am not frustrated because i don't like easy games.
