I did my first MD (hardcore) 2 nights ago. I needed all the mobs to finish the quest, but no one there wanted to kill the mobs. So I just started trying to kill mobs while everyone ran off. Then I realized, I can't beat all these by my lonesome! Where the hell am I! Where is everyone and why did they run off!?!? I think it was pretty stupid, but I should have chosen the regular one (not Hardcore) for my first one. I still ended up with 111k after it was over, but I will lvl before I get to do another one
I tend to be a little scattered in new situations anyways, But Blaaaaahs, I sympathize with you.
