Quest idea for the HC afterlife...

Everything on the screen goes blurry. Blood drips down. The blood splattered screen fades...to black. A distant, white light beacons from above....while below, a firey abyssal pit awaits. Your quest decisions while living shall determine your fate now...

Immediately following death and choice of afterlife, you are sent into a queue for 1 of 2 very special group quests.

If you went to heaven, you and a handful of other recently deceased will return as angels, sent by tyreal to assist a public game as ghost allies, and help them complete their quest. Should the living defeat their enemies with your help, you and your team shall earn it's wings, a special "spirit" bonus to your re-rolled character, and your name forever etched into the book of eternal valor (website).

For those whose foul deeds doomed them to hell queue...you will return to serve as special undead champions; Servants of Diablo, tasked with stopping a different random pub from completing their foolhardy quest. Should you and your undead peers successfully stop the adventurers, you will be made general, commanding greater hordes, and rewarded with more power as a super unique, growing in power until you are put to your final rest...but not before taking as many as possible down with you!

Whadda ya think?

Re: Quest idea for the HC afterlife...

I am not into things like this. HC for me is just a mode where if you die, you die for good. When I die in HC my next wish is to reroll my character...

Re: Quest idea for the HC afterlife...

I don't think there should be any type of 'bonus' for dieing. You would have people dieing on purpose just to do this 'sidegame'... Not into it at all.

Re: Quest idea for the HC afterlife...

If it takes the sting out of death it's a bad idea.
If it makes people want to kill the occaisional character it's a worse idea.
If it makes people who have no business playing HC creating HC characters just to experience it's pretty much blasphemy.

Well thought of, but not a very good idea for Hardcore.

Re: Quest idea for the HC afterlife...

yeah not a fan, ALTHOUGH! i am a fan of a more epic death screen. like when i die. i want something cool to happen and not just hear my character scream and fall over naked. thats too lame IMO.

a cinematic death for each possible death would be ridiculously impossible to do, UNLESS! its for like an act boss. i know i saw that SiegeBreaker monster rip a barbarian in half. that is what im talking about. i want more of that action lol. (thats not a cinematic)

Re: Quest idea for the HC afterlife...

Or, (chuckles chuckles) you,....hehe he he he heeh eh ...
You have to watch 5 minutes of instant replays of you chr dying! Over and over again. In slow motion, superslow motion, from different angles, some close up shots of the chr's face grimmacing in shock.

I know, it's not possible because they'd have to record the whole game in memory...
But they COULD just animate the killing blow over and over again, or just show the chr falling in his death animation over and over again.

You know, just to add that extra load of gut wrentching experience for HC players.
