This is why I play HC
I've only been playing for a few short weeks, but I got into HC as soon as I heard about it. I've only lost one character so far and it was due to lack of attention.
Anyhow, I've been testing a berzerker barbarian build for the past few days. He's not very high up there, but I'm taking it kind of slow with him so I can learn the nuances of the class.
Last night, I went to murder the countess and got swarmed. I ran out of potions and my health was quickly diminishing. I dropped a portal as fast as I could click and jumped back to town. My health was so low that the health bubble was almost completely clear, you couldn't see but a sliver of life. I ran to re-fill my potions then hopped back through the portal and killed the countess.
That was a serious rush. It's those kinds of moments that make HC exciting. Had this been SC, I would've likely died, picked up my corpse, and attempted a second time. Instead, I had to find an escape route and fight her a second time after healing up.
It's a small victory, but I just thought I'd share.
