    I'm with Ely on this. If I was to have put lots of work and time into progressing a character only to lose everything even if you make a tiny mistake that snowballed into your death, I'd be pretty devastated.

    I die on normal.
    I'd do abysmal on HC.

    That right there is pushing me to play HC to be brutally honest

    You play a lot more carefully and close fights actually raise your adrenaline levels quite a lot. Adrenaline followed by goosebumps and happy feels if you survive!

    I thought I'd do that too. But I died in A4 and didn't even care. Doesn't matter, past that point now already with a new character.

    Maybe on higher difficulties. Monk has this Sweeping Winds, which is a 20 second buff that does aoe damage to close mobs. It refreshes when you do melee dmg, so I just kept on rushing everywhere. Good thing I'm using the passive that gives health when you use spirit, I would've died 30 times already if I was playing on SC without that passive XD

    See, HC is not that bad when you take precautions.

    Mine was to never ever ever ever stop using my shield on my Barb

    Again, I'm like Ely. I would die repeatedly on Normal, never mind any level of hardcore. :3 Plus I get quite attached to what I perceive as mine. So any loot that drops is mine, I earned it, it belongs to me, it is my own and there is no other that could replace it sort of thing. At low levels were I wouldn't have much I could handle losing it all, but before long attachments form and I would have anything from a major sad to a full blown tantrum depending on when the inevitable happens.

    Plus tbh I get enough of that on WoW since I'm on a PvP server on the opposite side of the dominant faction. I get enough grief playing carefully so that if a PvP situation does develop any PvE element I'm fighting as well won't snowball on me. I'd be more interested in exploring the entirety of the dungeon map at my own leisurely pace rather than figuring out how I'm going to get past the next trash pack.

    Different strokes for different folks I guess. And for me, the idea of HC does not appeal to me in the slightest.

    Meys pretty much summarizes my thoughts on HC. And I dont think that he hates me for convincing him to give it a shot

    Meys and I have had A LOT of fun. The girly screams in skype just have to be experienced

    I often post from my mobile device, typos in my posts are 99% likely to be because of that.
    All I would ever want and need is a hug.

    Still running DW for now :P If nothing else works, double range rend and keep running kills everything

    I guess playing with friends might help with the loss. :3 Depends on how stupid the deaths were to laugh about it.

    hunty, I have some items you might like. At school now though, should be home in an hour.

    kitteh, that's why you play with friends and not alone. If you're together you can help eachother out with items. If Wass wouldn't have given me this weapon I would do roughly half the damage I'm doing now for example ^^

    Lvl 20 now :P Just remembered that if you just spend a few gold on a socketed wep + decent gem you get a wep that does more than double a normal one's dmg, so that kinda helps.

    Oh Felir hai! WB! :3 Settled at your new place now?

    damn... I don't know how to solve this without basically rewriting the whole program...

    Code:
    if(input.getText().contains("+"))
    		{
    		    firstNum = Float.parseFloat(input.getText().substring(0,input.getText().indexOf("+")));
    		    secNum = Float.parseFloat(input.getText().substring(input.getText().indexOf("+")+1,input.getText().length()));
    		    resultNum=firstNum+secNum;
    		    input.setText(""+resultNum);
    		}
    So I have this for a simple calculator.
    firstNum takes the string before the +-/* and parses it to a float. secNum for after the +-/*.
    This means it only works when there are 2 numbers and 1 symbol in the inputfield. Putting in more than that won't give any output because it throws an exception.
    Anyone a clue how I can fix this without rewriting half of the code? I figured adding in a thirdNum etc wouldn't be so nice and could cause more problems than it fixes.

    I'm not sure if I'll be able to play much today.
